War and Interior and Navy and Post
Office were the figures in double header
on the White Lot yesterday afternoon,
the former teams having been the victors
i'm each case by the scores of to = and
1 to 1. respectively.
The teams lined up about an hour
earlier than usual yesterday owing to the
fact that the soldiers from the National
Guard had to have the grounds at d
O'Clock Both games were played in fast
order and long before the time allotted to
the ball tossers had expired the games were
concluded and the field cleared
Y'he contest between War and Interior
proved of much interest, as the lead OBJ
tanned by the former club in the fourth
inning looked very easy to overcome. On
several occasions the Interior boys got on
the bags with one and nobody down. and
it was thought that runs would surely
result but they didn't. and this fact alone
kent the interest at fever heat.
Interior got it's only runs in the opening
inning and after that Donaldson. who was
twirling for War. held them safe. Barn

There was quite a contingent of Wash

tempted to again address the audience he
was told that he must leave the theatar.

The ST Louis Browns got in early this
morning after thirty six-hour ride from

The men are in good condition. Hobe
Ferris. Danny Hoffman. Charley Jones
and Jimmy Williams being the picture
of health. while the old members of the
team are in their usual good shape
McAleer has something like nine or ten
pitchers with him on the trip. as he wants
to return home in as good a position as
possible. He knows he has a hard cam
pagn ahead of him. but is confident the
Browns will make a good showing If his
twirlers can deliver the goods. The new
men have impressed McAleer very ia
vorably. as they have been keeping in
good condition and doing their best to
win games. Big Jack Powell may go in
today against the Nationals. as he has
always been very lucky or successful in
this city and likes to work here in conse-
quence.
Center Fielder Milan met with an ac-
cident yesterday that for time fright
ened his friends they thought he
might have to get out of the game. In
going after line fly from Murphys
bat he had To jump in the air and in
closing his hands on the ball his little
finger was caught and knocked out of
joint. Milan thought it was broken. but
Ganley quickly pulled it back in place,
and Doc Powers of the Athletics reas-
sured Clyde that it was all right and not
fractured. Milan felt so good over the
outcome that he slammed a nice triple
against the right field fence that resulted
in scoring the only runs placed to Wash
ingtons credit.
Jimmy Collins and Harry Davis made a
nice play off Jerry Freeman in the third
inning that saved one or more runs.
Freeman laid down almost perfect bunt
in trying to kill the ball, and Collins
came after the sphere, which he had to
gather up with one hand. 1t was a
"hurry-up' play and his throw was short,
but Davis leaned away over and dug the
ball out of the ground just as Jerrys
feet were touching the sack.
