! The mania for handing dainties TO

this vale of sorrOws, Ike the bObbins
OF a curtain up and down half q dozen
times 20 fake applause every time a.
ham thespian has struggled 10 the end
OF a Wearisone act.
Esut TO resume. we should like 10
see the young Elan Gcssler one Of the
I Washington oali club His face would
add some tone 20 The picture. and his
ban would add some wins. lie Is with
ont a DOUBT the dingdGsJ most bother
some individual hitter who has been
here this year, not even excepting John
Anderson, when john was going sood
with the Chicago SoX the hTsI part OF
the season After having slngte-hdnded
beaten Jesse Tannehll IN TWO previous
games here, Gessler came right back
yesterday with a triple ia the eightn
iuniug with three on bases that tied
up the score He has confidence and
hefuness, TO say nothing Of an eagle
eye and a fiy-paper mutt, all OF which
are points of more or less Importance
, I'm estimating the value Of right

The triumph Of Ollie Pickering yester-
day should not be forgotten. Pickering
has been pulling on stunts occasionally
since be mas been in Mlan's shoes that
have distressed ts sOrely. lie and Can
les have both been weak brothers when
much was expected Of them, but, just
when you think they need rest and
quiet, they nave a habit OF coming back
To life with feats that astonish the
neigh bOrs.
Lest We forget we VIII set forth that
IL was PiCkcrInE' s success in working
Steele for "A base or balls in the first
inning that sGuted Wasninston's first
run. and every run was . winning run.
Likewise in the eighth inning when the
prospect was drear IL was Pickering >
wholesome triple to center that started
lie march Do the ufty-hfJh Washington
victory OF the season.
Gapley's sacrifice in the first inning
helped Pickering, but Il happened not
TO be needed because Luglaub tTIpied.
Ganley's Texas Lacquer TO right W the
sixth session went for a double because
he was thoroughly alive on the bases.
GaTley's ideal single over Mcconnell
completed the circuit fer Pickering in
the eighth Gaulef's stolen base in the
eighth advanced him 10 The middle sack.
where il was no trouble for MIN 10 tally
on Delelanty's second tWO-b2gger.
Tat s getting your name 10 print some
~ one game.
After the rule was passed allowing a
batter a sacrifice If he knocked z long
ny scoring a runner from third with
none or one JuJ il was found that. in
the experience OF the Washington
scorers, IL did not make as much differ
euCe in the averages as was expected.
Sometimes there would not be such a
sacrifice here for a week or ten days,
For this reason the long flies Dele
haHty drove 10 center IN the FIRST and
sixth innings yesterday were worthy
OF special note. They were typical il
lustratIons OF the reasons for passing
the rule
Delenanty is an extremely sure batter.
The game was close and the only thing
for him TO do was 10 slam the bah a
mile according 10 the dictates OF the
Dciehauty school of distance slusgers,
20 bring the man home. To have
charged him with a time at bat would
have been rank injustice and would
also have offered an incentive 20 at
tempt 20 drive the bail through the in
field just when such a move would
have been dangerous and foolish. Dele
hauty did exactly the right thing reaped
his reward in the score and demon
stTated to the fans his real worth in
an emergency. It's a good rule and
should stand.
