There were somewhere around 1900 or
5000 fans at the park, and il was a
case Of those who went to scon re-
mainsd to cheer. The first few innings
were rather dolefuI and IL was plain
that most Of those present were there
more for the purpose of seeing why
the team had been losing so much
rather than with any very strong inter
est in whether IL won from the Yankees.
This feeling was heightened ny the run
the Yankees got in the second inning
on a batter hit by a pitched ball, a
fielder's choice, and a single 1t looked
like the same old story all over again.
After Washington scored twice in the
third inning and forged there was
mild awakening. When New York tied
the score in the fifth the apathy re-
turned But. when the Nationals cop
ped TWO tallies in the eighth inning,
the gang came to life, and in a pair Of
minutes Il was the same old story sure
enOugl-of Washington enthusiasm and
its loyalty toward even the lowest of
cellar champs.

Tanaehin pitched the first six innings
Of the first game for Washington and
did not show enough TO form an accu-
rate judgment of his worth. He al
lowed eight hits for two runs. one
earned and one uneaTned. CantillOn
took him out after the sixth, although
IN that round he did not suffer except
from scratch single by Ball The fact
that the fanks were reaching his Ge-
livery consistently for hard drives indi-
Gated that Tannehin was not keeping
them in hand well enough and Il was
merely the luck of the game that they
were not scoring oftener. Any time a
pitcher Is being hit as hard as Tame
hill WAS yesterday his side is in danger
and IL is almost certain that sooner
or later the enemy will place those long
drives out of the reach Of the fielders

tion than some in the first division With

the words Of grim determination ex-
pressed by Old Man Pickering yesterday
morning, and were the best offering for
the fans. The team had almost a per-
feet right TO be lackadaisical and list
less. but everybody was fun Of business

as a felder- The fact that be had six
assists was an indication that despite

a double play that was a wonder With
Niles on third. Moriarity hit a fierce
one straight az Tannehill, who inStinc-
lively stuck out his hands and gathered

THE YOUNG REPUBLICAN.

In business sense the young voters
who have come forward since 1904 have
more at stake than any other class in
rendering right decision. Their ac-
tive lives are ahead. They have more
years to live, and are now laying the
foundations of their business careers.
National policies and conditions are OF
the highest consequence to them. Per
baps they are farmers. If so, let them
ask the older generation how farmers
Jared under the last Democratic admin
istration. Let them take the market
reports Of to-day and compare them
with the prices that prevailed when Mr..
Bryan made his crusade for free silver
and hurled defiance at President Cleve-
land because he stood by the gold
standard At the same time Bryan de.
nounced the Republican party for its
protectionist as well as sound money
position. Perhaps the first voter is to
engage In manufacturing or mining, rs
wage-earner or otherwise. Does he
want his American rate of wages and
the industry he chooses reasonably pro-
tected against foreign competition? II

take him in the opposite direction
