COMMENT ON THE GAME.

IF any one man won for the Nationals
Yesterday it was Bob Unglaub. On six
different occasions he made extraordinary
plays at first on bad throws. A miss of
either would have been excusable and the
Athletics would have been SO far ahead
in the run scoring as to take all the life
out of the locals. No matter where the
ball came. high low. to right or left, Sir
Robert was there with that big mitt. and
he gave an exhibition of catching the ball
that greatly resembled Tenney of Boston.
II would be difficult to figure just how
many runs Bob saved by his nsational
play. Then, in addition, in the tenth Tn
claub started all the fun with a clean
single into center and had the honor of
coming home with the tally That won the
game. 'Rah for Unglaub.
When Pitcher Coombs went to the bat
in the seventh inning in place of vickers.
Umpire Evans called out the name SO
that it sounded like Holmes 1t didn't
seem possible that Mack would send up
another pitcher to bat. but the public
wasn't wise to the fact that Coombs is
..some sstioker.'' After he had slammed
the ball up against the right field fence
everybody agreed that the tall manager
understood his business, as usual.
1t is to be deplored that President
Johncon cannot see his way Gear to let
ting out Umpire Hurst. Tim is a soou
fellow and has done fair work in years
gone by. but at the present time his UNI
piring has become joke on account of
his many mistakes. Hurst could help
himself out of many tight places if he
would move around and get on top OF the
different close plays, but he never moves
out of his tracks, the runners obstruct
his view and then ne .'foozles things by
making bad guesses. In the eighth inning
yesterday it looked as though the Ma
tionals had been robbed of the game
when he declared Milan out at first. as
the fleet-footed outfielder had beaten the
throw by step and ii made the third
hand down. There were three on bases
at the time. which made the mistake
more exasperating. Manager Cantillon
ran up to Hurst with protest and a
result was chased off the coaching lines
for the remainder of the afternoon. Some
day Hurst will make a bad mistake in
hot contest and big riot TO low with
dire results 1t will be too late then to
find a substitute for Mr.. Hurst.
Notwithstanding Bob Grooms two pre-
vious performances of the off-color sort.
he came back yesterday and clearly
demonstrated that he has the goods in
that strong right arm. Heretofore he has
lacked control, but yesterday he had a
wide curve working correctly for him
and the Quaker batters were guessing on
its final location. Like majority of the

has been made by the
officials of the local reclamation serv-

across the Colorado river from Yuma
will be thrown open for settlement
about the first of September, the ex-
act date to be set by the interior de-
partment at Washington. The res
ervation lands include II, 900 acres
of rich Colorado river silt lands, of
which somewhat over $500 acres
will be reserved for the 500 Indians
on the reservation, who will be al
loted five acres each for cultivation,
which the government will not allow
them to dispose of for twenty-seven
years, thus preventing their looting
by gamblers and spectators. The
remaining 1880 acres have been
divided into homesteads ranging in
size from twenty to thirty acres,
about 400 in number which will be
open to entry by settlers. A portion
of the reservation has been reserved
for the proposed townsite of Powell
lots in which will be placed on sale
at the time the reservation is open.
