Barnhart, former Interior Department

twelve of the Takoma suggers to face him
in the five innings of play.
Besides his great box work. Barnhart,
with Marsden, pulled off a double steal in
third inning, and also made two of the
seven bingles credited to the winners.
The club boys sounded the finish of their
opponents in the third round. when four
hits and two errors, netted them five runs.
and greatly surprised the suburbanites. who
evidently expected a wakoVer.
Toward the latter part of the game the
losers made a determined effort TO push
thrrte runs across the pan and tie up the
game but their efforts amounted to nought
as Barnhart was master of the situation at
all times.
The batting of Priest, klopfer and Como

WESTERN LADS
OUTPLAYED BUSINESS

WestcIh and Business High School base
ball teams lined up yesterday afternoon for
the second game in the interhigh school
series. and after the first inning was con-
cluded the Western boys had practically
clinched the game, they had five men
cross the pan in the initial turn at the
bat The final score was II to 5.
The contest was pulled off at American
League Ball Park, and was witnessed by a
great crowd of boys and girls of both
schools, who were ever ready to wave their
colors and give their school yells whenever
their favorite team was making a good
showing.
Powell was selected to officiate in the
center of the diamond for Business, but
his delivery was soon solved. The boys
from Georgetown punched their hits, and
this, coupled with errors. gave them FIVE
runs, which was as many the CONNER

redeemed himself for his poor exhibition by
hitting for three sacks when three of his

Again in the sixth inning, when Young

the bleacher alley. whence it never re-
turned. and Elberfeld and Chase began
to circle the bases, Mr.. Schlafy reached
out prehensile hand and grabbed Elber-

Maybe he wanted to talk politics. Or
perhaps he desired to hold a Conversations

about either. He was in too much of a

then light out for home AS the ball went
up the alley the clutch of Schlafy did not
amount to anything. The incident showed,
however. that Schlafly has a real and heart

The two runs scored by New York in this

were made on Ganleys single double by

PRESS COMMENT
ON THE NATIONALS
What the New York Papers Are
Saying About CantiIIon
and His Players.

On the whole the Washingtons seem to
be playing better ball than they did last
year. Very likely much Of this is due to
the fact that the new manager, Joe
Cantillon, wears a uniform and talks to
himself on the coaching line. AS a lin
guist Mr. Cantillon is more yet AS
vocalist one hight note that there is
tendency at times to sing off the pitch.
When he becomes excited, or at least
warns up to the occasion. he fills his
lungs with violent lunges of his torso and
tells Charley or John or Bob, whoever it
may be. to hit 'er out"
1t Is possible that some of the notes of
the grave and learned coacheF Jared upon
the ears of Doyle. The latter is accus-
toned to the birdike yawp in which the
Kansas jayhawker sings to it's mate, and
anything compounded of cross between
LIST avenue concertina and an Italian
hurdy gurdy might upset his mental equi-
poise.
Anyhow. the Washingtons and the New
Yorks will play again this afternoon, and
the good Mr.. Cantilon says that he has
not exhausted half his repertoire. He has
Shaved away his mustache so that his
vocal efforts are no longer hampered by
a dam In front of his mouth He also
says that he doesn't care SO long as the
Nashingtons win games. This seems to
be healthy Notwithstanding Telegram.
Locals Can Hit.
Doyle did not pitch bad ball. but he
simply struck a bad game. That Wash
ington club is liable to take the Marcel
waves out Of anybodys reputation if they
happen to cut loose at the right time.
Griffith says they can hit anything from
a pea to a pineapple If they once get
started. and the only way to keep them
from hitting is to give them bases on balls.
Perrine, the new shortstoo for Washing
ton. is one of the best young players seen
around these parts for many moons. He
takes everything in sight and stands up
well at the Dlate-t,Yening World.
