Dolly Gray may be strong enough to re-
sumo work against them.
Umpire KERN slipped up on a decision
yesterday and. of course. the poor Ma
tionals had to suffer by the, mistake. In
the fifth inning Criger struck out while
Ferris was on first base. The ball got
away from Blankenship and struck KERN
on the foot. The umpire sent Criger to
first Oh account of his stopping the ball.
while the rules say that the batter Is out
with first base occupied The rule was
adopted to cover just such situations and
prevent double plays, as a clever catcher
can drop the third strike and easily get
both the batter and the runner. When
herin's attention was called to the fact
that he had made a mistake he said he
thought there were two out.
President Johnson has made 1t point
to instruct his umpires when working
in pairs to help each other out. Umpire
Egan, at first. saw that KERN had made
a mistake but for fear of showing him
up kept out of the controversy. All
Egan had to do was to explain the situa
ton to KERN, call Criger out and the
run garnered In that inning by the
Browns would not have been scored
Charley Street hobbled out to the
grounds yesterday with the aid of
cane, gathered up few things he need
ed at the clubhouse and then left for
his home in Williamsport. Charley has
very bad foot. the physician lancing
it yesterday. and 1t has swollen to twice
Its regular size. It will require careful
nursing to come around all right. and
1t will be a long while before the WASH
ington fans" see Street in uniform again.
President Ban Johnson is due in Wash
ington this afternoon. as he Is making a
short visit to the eastern clubs and will
probably witness the struggle of the
"tralers' this afternoon.

COMMENT ON THE GAME.

After the game the players could hard
by drag themselves to the clubhouse. and
every one got under the shower baths
as quickly as possible. George Mcbride
was as lively as any one in the game.
and he said last night that he couldn't
recall a day on which he suffered more
from the heat.
II would be willing to bet q week s
wages said Mac. that the thermometer
would have registered a hundred and
twenty-five out on the diamond during
the game. The grandstand shut off all
the air. and 1t was like playing over a
radiator.
Il spoke to Bailey about the heat and
he onlv laughed. but Ill wager he has
had few hotter days down in Texas
President Noyes and Manager Cantil-
Ion yesterday arranged for the transfer
of Tom Hughes and Otis Clymer to the
Minneapolis club of the American AS
sociation Both players have shown
some wonderful ball on the local lot in
flashes but on the average they have
been below the major league standard
Hughes has been a consistent winner
against the Clevelands, and his transfer
to the Millers will doubtless cause great
joy in Nap town. Clymer's under-pin-
ming keeps him from being star. He
is fast on the bases and a good hitter.
but with dinky legs under him, all his
oid-time confidence has oozed out of his
system. The Millers are leading the
American Association at present. and
If Capt. Jimmy Collins can get Hughes
to work for him as he did here last
Saturday. the pennant is assured for
Minneapolis.
Hobe Ferris can kill ball waist high
and both Witherup and Johnson seemed
to lay the ball right over the plate at

and il certainly made Hobe clipper
throughout the afternoon.
Danny Hoffman and George Stone were
leading the American League when both
were injured. their percentage being in
the neighborhood of 1886. Both are back
once more to their best form and II the
Browns were anywher. near the first di-
vision the batting and general play of
the pair would surely land them there.
AS it is. the Browns have a good chance
of leading the second division, but that
won't suit the st. Louis fans
The suspension against Bob Unglaub
was lifted last evening and he is eligible
TO play today should Manager Cantillon
decide to put him in the game.
The Browns wind up their stay in Wash
ington today and big Jack Powell is
carded to pitch for the visitors, while
Oberlin will probably serve them over for
the locals
Tomorrow comes the big attraction in
the Detroit Tigers and for four days
they will hold forth on the local diamond.
Jennings and his crew are having the
time of their lives In Philadelphia and
they should be just ripe for picking when
they hit this city. Bill Donovan has been
suspended. which will keep him out of
the fray for several days. but Summers
will be on hand with his knuckle ball
