II there ever existed in the breast OF
any Of the local fans a suspicion that
that band Of immaculate hosed world s
champions could not hit, the doubt was
entirely removed at National Park yes

drubbed the Nationals in the final game
by l3 to l.

Washington this season, and was one

having any great damage done to his
delivery.
