Opposed to him was Plank, the "Gettys-

was not OF the best. Then, too. q strong
wind was blowing. and II batter could

The complete records of all the players
OF the Nationals from the commencement
OF the championship pennant race in the
American League up to Sunday are given
In the tables which follow. During the past
week they have played two games with the
st. Louis team. while on their first trip
around the western circuit, winning one
and losing q twelve-inning game on Sat
urday, by the close score of 8 to 4, which Is
better work than the other teams OF the
eastern division have done, with the excep-
ton of Boston, New York and the Athletics
losing every game. Thery have showed up
well in batting, having made twenty-five
hits In tho two games. with q total Of thir-
ty-nine bases.
Rabbit" Mil. who is q great favorite
with the patrons Of the Nationals, has
wrested the laurels as the leading bats
man Of the team from Blankenship. who
led last week, although he has not had a
chance to prove his ability as a batsman.
owing to being disabled. Mil has taken
part in ten games. and has been at the
bat fifteen times. and made seven hits. CIV
gain Of 300, Blankenship still having 1857.
Anderson regained his batting eye during
the week, and made gain of .OS5. boost
Ing his average from .279, week ago. to
ing been at the bat ten times and MAX
Ing a double, triple and q homer-a
total OF nine bases. which is pretty good
for pitcher. Ganley still continues to i'm
prove. both In fielding and batting Jones,
who Is no doubt using lighter bat than
he has been accustomed to doing In the
past, Is steadily crespine toward the 300
mark. having made a gain Of .O24 during
the week. Hughes was another one who
gained. he making q homer in the first st.
Louis game, which gave him gain of .O84.
The team also made gain OF .O1O In
team batting. 1t ranks third In batting
In the league. with .2f7. New York and De-
troit leading 1t by .249 and .267. respectively.
The team is doing excellent work in the
fielding line, and there are twelve Of the
eighteen players who have q percentage OF
LOCO and are not all pitchers at that.
Jones, in left and center field, has been in
fourteen games, and has not had the sem
blance Of an error, while Blankenship. be-
hind the bat, has also an errorless record.
NIL is playing q great game in left. but to
tell the truth 1t Is a hard matter to hitch
him up wrong. as he can play almost any
position well, either the In or out held. He
works hard to win all the time. Altizer
should brace up the inf1eld and make 1t
much stronger, since he can get the ball to
first from deep short field. as he has q
strong arm and IL quick and can snap
the ball without having to fully recover his
equilibrium, and he IL fast on his feet. and
now there should be more double plays.
The figures showing the work OF the team
follow:

Notes Of the Game.

Cross did some great work for Washing
ton. Twice he was forced to make stops
on short-bounding, hard-driven balls and
then hurry throws across to first One
time 1t was on Pickering, In the fourth
inning. and the other time on Wallace In
the seventh Cross also made a fast play
when he threw Stone out at second In the
second inning on a sharp grounder by
Yeager.
Altizer broke up a rally for the Browns
by fine piece of fielding In the hfth
Yeager was on first at the time. owing
TO a walk. and Jones hit one past second
which looked as II it was going safe. Al
tizer ran over and picked the ball up back
of second Then he made toss behind
him TO Schlafiy. who covered second. and
Ieager went out.
G. Jones and the wind robbed Wallace Of
triple III the second inning Rhody drove
q long fly over Schlahy's head. and II looked
as though the ball would fall safe. Jones
judged II perfectly, the wind held 1t
back, and made catch over his shoulder
as he went with the drive The catch hurt
as Stone walked and this would have put
TWO men on bases without any out.
Somebody in the bleacherJ threw a lemon
out TO Patten when the latter donated that
base on balls to Stone In the second inning
Ills aim was good. and the yellow fruit
rolled to within a few feet Of the pitchers

Charley invariably throws curve when

Manager Hanlon's Offer.

Manager Hanlon IL getting anxious to see
the Reds win games The other night he
offered to divide $3.50 among the members
of the team II they won two games In
succession. Then he made the bold state
ment that he would give up every cent of
his salary for the season OF 1907 to 500 tho
Reds win the pennant. This means that he
would be willing to part with the extremely
smart sum Of $4,000 IL he could lead the
present aggregation Of Reds home In front
of seven other clubs.
1T may look like q cincn proposition to
hang up that amount OF money for q
team that Is not doped to finish any higher
than the Reds" said Hanlon during q base
ball conversation. but ia be willing to
part with every cent that Is coming to me
this year to see them land the hag-and
the thing IL not impossible by q great deal.
The first year we won the flag with the
Baltimore team We were not any better
thought OF than are the Reds this year.
No ono picked US to finish higher than
sixth place-and yet We went In and cap
tured the nag IN handy style. I'm not
claiming the nag or any other position for
the Reds this year. But do say that we
have smarter team than We are given
credit for. and I'll willingly work all sea-
SON for the glory II we can bring the
bunting home TO Cincinnati. We're going
to get better right along. and there's no
telling how much speed We win have up by
the Fourth of July, by which time we Will
Just be about striking our right gaft."
