QUEER BALL GAME
FURNISHES SENSATION
speeial 70 The Herald.

Opecldl 10 Inc f1eIdld.
BYPLAY. N. c., March S0.-The first
game of baseball was played here yes
terday. 1t was a sensational exhibition,
participated in by many players in the
Southern league.
The first man to the plate batted OUT
a home run, and four men following
him did the same thing. A halt was
called. and a little inquiry showed that
the ball in use was almost solid rubber,
Umpire Richter promptly declared
the scores void, and called the five men
out, which left but one man to be put
out I'm the next inning. His most fair
decision was greeted with cheers.
In the fourth inning Bailey was
caught playing off second base, and IN
desperate effort TO reach third, his
momentum was so great that he slid
TO the bleachers and smashed one OF
the steel pillars.
During the game six negro boys We're
arrested for playing crap behind the
grandstand, and a member OF the Ger
man band was suppressed for playing
second bass.

from the standpoint of trade on

Jim Butler, Montana, Midway, Golden
Anchor, North Star, Tonopah Mining,
Tonopah Extension, West End and
Ohio. The best thing that has hap
pened to Tonopah for some time is the
completion Of the big mill at Miller's
siding. 1t is the largest reduction
plant in the sage brush state. Tono-

the resumption of activity on that do
main, which shows excellent values on

be expected further verifcation of the
well grounded theory that Goldheld's
rich mineral belt extends far eastward
from the best known area, occupied
by such celebrities as Mohawk, Sand

Combination. Another revelation of the
past month is the proof beyond perad-
venture of large and rich bodies of ore
well north of this Mohawk region. The
Diamondfield section is fast forging to
the fore. Daisy looks now like the
makings OF another Mohawk. There
are good judges who believe the same

around the hills into DiamOndneld

such mind is "Diamondfield jack

ST. LOUIS, April 22.-"Chicago in the
National League and Cleveland in the
American League" said Manager McCIos-
key Of the Cardinals. that's the way pick
the finish Of the two winners in the two big
circuits this year. Chicago has all the other
teams In the National League beaten to a
standstill. There isn't a position in which
they are weak-and there are bunch Of

to than on any other nine on the circuit.

shooting by picking Cleveland to win the
pennant in the American League, but am
sincere in the claim. That old gag about
Lajoie not getting his team to play together
is all rot Lajoie is the team-and as long
as he can get in there and clout them the
team looks mighty good to me. Some teams
need the best Of inside work in order to
land games The Clevelands don't. They
can play straight base ball and win right
along. Bill Bradley. the third baseman OF
the Blue Birds. was called good and plenty
during the winter for saying that team
work was a myth-that 1t was not neces-
sary to success. From a Cleveland point
of view he Is correct-and it is on this lack
of team work. but strength in individuals.

NAVY YARD BOWLERS
CLOSE SEASON
West Gun Shop Carried Off the
Honors by a Good
Margin.

Following are the compiled averages and
standing of the bowlers in the Navy Yard
League, which closed it's season Saturday
The playing of the past season marks one
of the most successful and interesting ex-
perienced by the Navy Yard bowlers. From
present indications the league next year
Will undoubtedly surpass the success OBJ
tanned through its good management of the
past season. Several good prizes were
awarded to the winning team and to the
players making the best showing through
out the season.
The West Gun Carriage Shop team won
the championship from the other nine
teams in good shape their next opponents
being the Erecting Shop, who. while quite
a good margin from the winners, put up
a very strong game during the last three
weeks Of the season. TheMiscellaneous boys
finished in third place.

BLANKENSHIP NOT
BADLY INJURED

Cliff Blankenship. the clever catcher of
the Nationals. arrived home yesterday aft
ernoon from Philadelphia In Saturdays
game Blankenship had his right hand in
jured in trying to stop foul tip from Sey-
bold S bat and the injury was wired 10 this
city as being a broken finger Instead Of
a broken finger the flesh was torn apart
between the third and little finger of the
right hand, and while the wound was pain
full it Will be healed up nicely by the time
the team returns home next Monday.
Blank" had been playing SO finely that
the fans were quite worked up over the
report that his finger had been broken.
as they knew such mishap would keep
him out of the game for at least six weeks
and perhaps longer. He says that he would
be able to play by next Thursday or Fri
day if the necessity arises. but he is con-
fdent that Heydon and Warner can get
along without him.
BlankeDship had nothing but praise for
the team. and in speaking to a Star re-
porter this morning he said:
Il can't where any OF the other east
ern teams have anything US. and If the
western quartet isn't any stronger, we will
win whole lot of games this season. The

phia, and standing Harry Davis on his

thing possible to corner Bob. but he placed
the ball just If he was playing billiards.
and at that he never hit the sohere hard
The one he pulled off on Davis was when
he drew the first baseman in on what look
ed like an intended sacrifice, and then plac
ing the ball just over his head and getting
two bases on the hit 1t was a beauty and
all the boys applauded.
Frank Kitson pitched an elegant game
Saturday, and had the umpire given him
anything like an even break there would
have been nothing to it. Kit never sends
a batter to first unless intentionally, and
he was not wild Saturday. The umpire sim
ply wouldn't give him anything, and the
two men he walked in the seventh inning
should have been out on strikes,
the ball cut the plate. Kitson Is strictly all
right and a grand pitcher this spring. and
when are home and the jumps give us
what Is our due, he will win all his games
of the reel. The Athletics simply couldn't
touch him for five innings Saturday and
Harry Davis said the old boy never looked
better"

Tie complete records of the players of the
Nationals from the beginning of the sea-
Don TO date are given in the following tables.
They have played seven games-one with
the Athletics. three each with Boston and
New York-winning one each from Boston
and New York, and lost two to Boston. one
each to the Athletics and New York and
played one tie game with New York. Dur
ing the past week the weather has been
more like foot ball than base ball weather,
and yet they played very fast and con-
sistent game, never saying die until the last
man was put out.
John Anderson is the leading batsman
and slugger of the team. having made
eleven hits and five doubes-a total Of
sixteen bases in seven games. which gives
him a percentage of 4O1. He is follow ed
by Perrine. Hickman and Blankenship with
average of 1873. thus giving the Ma
tionals four 300 hitters. and including NH

once each and made a base hit apicCe-a
percentage of Loco. they have six. Per
rine and Cross are after John for the
smuggling honors. with a total of twelve
and ten bases in the order named. Gan
ley has improved in his batting during
the week and should soon be batting near
the 300 mark. Cross has also gotten his eye
upon the ball, as he also made a substan-
tial gain; Heydon. Hughes and Kitson are
batting at a 80 clip. SChlahy seems to
have lost the ball entirely. having only
a percentage of .O91. There is doubt
but what he Will soon improve in that

Of .u}s during the week. Schlaiy leads the
team In base stealing and sacrifice hitting.
