Marvellous Cures From Sun Baths


An open air institution in Berlin IS
working wonders in curing men and
boys Of various kinds Of ailments, such
a. paralyzed limbs, neuralgia, rhcuma-
t.sm, locomOtor ataXia and nearly all
nervous affections. It is called the
light air sport bath" 1t is founded
on the theory that clothing IS a detri-
mcnt to health. and the patients are re-
0uired to wear nothing on their bodies
while taking treatment except very
light bathing trunks. 1t IS an open
space fenced in and equipped with all
the appliances Of q gymnasium, tennis
courts, etc All around the grounds IS
an open corridor provided with re-
freshincnt booths. shower baths and
seats. The grounds are open the year
around. and many OF the more hardy
GO there to disporr themselves when
the snow is falling. In the summer
time the sun baths are said to be the
great source of cure. which is many
times aided by the benefits of the eX-
erciGe and shower baths The institu
ton was inaugurated by n company Of

CANTILLON PICKS UP
ANOTHER PHENOM PITCHER

And still they come. Manager Cantillon
has made out so well with Walter Johnson
and Outfelder Milan that he is willing to
take chance on any one whom he thinks
has any show whatever of making good.
Yesterday a youngster by the name of ].
J. Mcdonald floated into Washington and
asked Manager Cantillon to give him a
trial. He looked so good that he i'm
mediately signed 10 the Washington club.
1t seems that Mcdonald, who was pitching
for the Erie club, was struck on the arm
by batted ball last week, and as the club
is not overburdened with wealth he was
given his release. SIS the manager didn't
think he could afford to carry the young
ster for the remainder of the season with
out getting any work out of him. Having
heard that Cantillon was ready at all times
to give unknown phenems trial, McDon-
aid came to Washington and is now inside
the local breastworks.
McDonalds record with the Erie club is
an excellent one, and it may turn out that
Cantillon has pickad up another cracker
jack pitcher. He has pitched sixteen games
of which he has won thirteen and lost
three. One of his victories was against the
Cleveland club which Mcdonald defeated by
the score Of 5 to 3, the Maps getting but 9
hits or his delivery Among his defeats
was one by Ptttsburg who won out by the
score OF to o. making but four hits. and

COMMENT ON THE GAME.

VIII some kind miner use his pick and
shovel and dig up Bob Ganley's batting
eye The little fellow used to be the surest
kind of hitter. but he has gone off to
such an extent that he can't even sacri-
flee. In Thursdays game Dave Altizer
had to be the goat three times until he
finally landed on the ball and scored the
run that won the game. Yesterday Ganley
was the goat In the first and eighth
innings he struck out trying to sacrifice
and had he been able to accomplish his
purpose 1t may have caused a big difference
in the score In the fifth he forced Milan
out at second on a hit to Grimshaw, and
on his other two tries went out on files
In the field Sir Robert was all the candy,
making three nice catches and one assist.
while his error was a bad bounder thrown
home to head off runner and is liable to
happen to any one. Ganley is a great
favorite with the spectators and they have
become so used to seeing him smite the
ball where the fielders amt that they
can't realize that the best of EN- have
off periods in batting Well as fielding.
The Bostons certainly had the lid down
tight on everything yesterday in the way
of luck. They not only won the game on
Texas leaguers. but a substitute first base
man had to butt into the game nth a hit
at the right time and also score the run
that won the game Grimshaw made an
excellent sub for Unglaub on the initial
sack and was certainly there with the
goods when it came to binging the ball at
a critical point of the battle.
The average base ball rooter dislikes
senseless kicking by players and he is
especially impatient with man who kicks
himself out of the game and then plays
the baby act. That was the case with Bob
Cnglaub yesterday when he was served
with notice of eviction by Sheridan after

when he walked to the plate he began to
protest that he did not mean to throw the
bal away, but was merely trying to send 1t
over to knight at third. Had he gone
straight to the bench after getting his re-
lease from the game there would have been
no disposition on the part of the crowd to
crticise him. for nobody is inclined to score
a player severely for getting warm under
the collar when things break badly for his
side. That is part of the game. although

them an advantage the Highlanders could

Backing up good pitching by hitting in
punches has kept the White Elephants in
front this season. Following this sound
policy, it looked as though Doyle was to be
slaughtered at the start. After HartseI had
sent a terrific drive to center that was
pulled in by Hoffman. Nichols and Seybold
in succession laced out clean drives 10 the
SAME territory. Then Harry Davis bounded

tough proposition for any team, and he
proved so for the Broadway boys. He held

National League Clubs Standing.

The Washington and Boston clubs had

secured the verdict after eleven innings of
strenuous work by the score of to j.
Both teams put up a high-class fielding
game, and it remained for the tall and

and Csberlin This tall westerner was not
good enough for Manager McAleer of the
Browns but since joining the Bostons he
has been performing wonders with the spit

first inning. but after that he pltcheo WIN

was like saving a cord of hickory wood to
the locals
Patten started in as if he was going to
make runaway race of the game, as he
turned the Pilgrims back in the first three
innings without the semblance of a hit
Then came tho disastrous fourth, ana the
Bostonese tore off double and two singles
and scored two runs so quickly that many
of the spectators had to rub their eyes to
see il they had not been asleep and dream
ing After that Case did very well and he
was taken out in the eighth inning to allow
,flankenship to bat for him and tally run
Oberlin relieved him and did very we'll for
two innings. but in the eleventh the Pill
grims found him for two singles and they
were enough to score what proved to be
the winning run.
Nationals Good Start.

to left and Clymer followed suit o Brien
looked dangerous and was walked. AltiZer
waited patiently and was also given base
on balls. which forced home Delehanty.
Smith was then called out on strikes.
The Pilgrims woke up in the fourth and
shot to the front by scoring two runs. Con-
galton doubled to center Milan making a
great try for the ball. but falling just short
of completing the catch. Unglaub then sin
gled into center and Congalton scampered
home. Ferris hit q tantaizing single into
left Just out of Gan!ey'S reach and I'm

to head him off. but the bali took a bad

steal second, but Block headed him off with
a good throw to Smith
