No hits for street in either game.

That the second game with New York
yesterday should have been lost be-
cause Of a fielding error by d man Of
George Brownies caliber was d genuine
case of hard luck. He is much better
than the average outfielder in the mat
ter Of handling balls hit on the ground,
and when he booted one in the second
inning with fatal results there was no
kick coming. If the error had been
made by a man prone to that sort of
thing a roar about his failure to prac-
tice on the grounders might be made
but that does not go in this case

Today the Nationals are in PhHadei-

Thursday they will be back in the Capt.

will be five games, as the clash sched-

the Athletics and Boston are going good
at this time, and the outlook might not
be considered bright we're it not for the
fact that Washington has a habit OF
playing like champion against teams
that are up in the race, and then slump

Even Split in Gotham Pulls Nationals Well Away From

By THOMAS S. RICE.

All. well. two out of four in New
York is better than nothing.
As has been pointed out before, any
even break when you are below 800 is
a help. and by splitting even yesterday
the Nationals added five points to their
percentage. AS St Louis got the hooks
from Detroit, Washington Is now fifteen
points ahead of last place and going
good.

taught by the business men for years,
,and yet the desire for bargains, the
effort to buy the commodities OF lie

Prohibition pays.
This fact was never more striklngly
illustrated in all the annals of time
than by the fact that former saloon
keeper, one who two years ago pro-
claimed from the house tops that this
CITY would become desolate without
the sale of booze, now comes here to
enter the mercantile businss-and
can't and a vacant house in town. 1t
is a peculiar trick which fate has
played in this instance. That a man
should live to see his prophecies I'M
fulfilled is not out Of the ordinary.
But that by his future actions ne
should admit that he had d1smally
failed as a forecaster Of woe Is to say
the least humiliating.
Columbia has been dry nearly two
years There is no grass growing IN
the streets. Bats and owls do not
inhabit the store houses. The people
have not moved away, nor has the
stranger refused to come. Enterprise
has not dwindled with the departing
of the flowing spigot, nor has progress
nlumed its fight with the passing OF
the schooner.
The name OF the citizen who is now
seeking a location here Is withheld

residents of Columbia and Maury
county. Although he migrated WIFE
