Want Patten Locked Up.

After his performance Wednesday every
true fan will wish Mr.. Case Patten
long and successful career on the diamond
as long as he stays away from New York
Case will never be popular here.
The next time Washington comes here it
would be a good scheme to have Patten
arrested for splitting on the floor of a street
car any little offense that will insure
his being locked up for a couple of days
Besides letting our Yankees out with four
little bingles he smashed out the double
In the seventh that cleaned up the bases
and smothered all hopes.
The league umpres are let in for a bad
season this summer. Joe Cantillon used to
be an umpire himself and from the way he
cut up Wednesday he is certainly going to
work out some of the abuse that was
thrown into him when he an arbi-
traitor
When they had the game sewed up We'd
nesday that peaceable Washington crowd
turned as scrappy as champions. Schlafy
got so fossy to Hurst in the eighth that
Tim was compelled to conSign him to the
dressing pavilion.
Youngsters figured strongly on the
Washington side. Perrine at short ate up
everything that passed his way and AL
tizer slapped Doyle's curves for a couple
of hits.
1t is to be noted with pleasure that the
fans are getting some new stuff into Il . I
kidding these days. When John Anderson

Fight for Games.
There will be another vocal number by
Mr.. Joseph Cantlion up on Washington
Heights this afternoon, and around the
vocaltzation will be built another ball game
between the Nationals and Yankees. These
Nationals, by the way. rather surprised
some OF US yesterday. After the ease and
dispatch with which the Athletics and Bos-
tons Were disposed of. tn Washington
team did not inspire much fear But the
Nationals have learned to fight. for they
have a fighter leading them.-Giobe.
The Great Blow Off.
But in the seventh came the Great Blow
ON Zig John Anderson was up and was
considered a pipe, he had been neatly
famed the other two times he tried. In
deed, the big fielder had been so unfor-
tunate. if you want to put it that way. at

John at him.
Then to crab the song John got in the
way OF an inshoUt, and as it nicked his
elbow he went to first without more ado.
Altizer-there's a name like the squirt
from u settler bottle-and Hickman leaned
up against the pebble for single each. and

magnificent collar of Warmers foul and
held all the runners at their stations.

AS Doyle had waited me pitcher with
the crushed strawberry thatch- to the
bench on three beauts all the other times
he was Up. this looked easy.
But you never can tell from the way
the drinks mixed the night before how
they re going to fit in the morning.
Patten is one of these lucky gus He
could live in Pittsburg and keep collar
clean a week. Doyle stuck one over and
Patten stuck it SO far alield that ii eTptied
the bases. There was Il procession OF
black and white across tile rubber that
made the faithful SICK at heart.
Patten isn't what you would call fast
sprinter. He travels like Il gee going home
after every other joint is closed. When
he's running at his best it's hard to tell
exactly which way he's going. So his
swipe only gave him two bags. But it was
enough.
But for all that. Doyle looks the goods.
He ran intoea bit of tough luck; the kind
that always seems TO stick to the Yankees.
