Here is pretty good explanation of
the Nationals slump that Manager Can
tillon handed out to John B. Foster of
the New York Telegram last Saturday
just before the locals took the train for
home. The paragraph is as follows:
Mr.. joe who is on the job as man
ager of the. Washingtons, says his play
ers will be shooting the ball around the
lot with accuracy and speed when the
young fellows have blown up about the
Fourth of July. Take all the shots that
you want at me now" says Cantillon,
because you won't have any opportunity
later. I'm no spring chicken in base ball.
I've seen these teams come and go some
for years. In the spring, after you get
a bunch Of young players down south
| and bring them back to the north. they
| are full of chicken and strawberries, and
they circle around and pass out the grand
right and left as If they had been dancing g
masters all their lives. About four weeks

| are expected to have staying power and
show the people that they are made of
I'll bet that the Washington club is play
ing better ball the Fourth of July than
! some clubs which L might mention at
the present time"
Manager CantillOn was much impressed
with Bob Groom's work yesterday in
the final two innings, and he will prob
ably send him in today against the Ath-

COMMENT ON THE GAME.

One of the chief causes Of the Nationals
losing, and one that has been overlooked
by the wise guys of base ball, has been
the poor throwing of Charley Street this
spring. Up to date there have been more
bases stolen on Charley than were pill
fered in three months last year. Not
alone in trying to throw out base steal
ers, but on almost every play In which
Street is required to make a quick throw,
he gives evidence of being weak. Dur
ing the heavy snowstorm In Kansas
City Street caught a severe cold and
il settled in his back, with the result
that ii is agony for the clever catcher
every day he works. He has expressed

bition and energy are all right, but it
looks like good base ball for his manager
to lay him off for couple of days and
make him stay in the house. Blanken
ship can certainly fill in satisfactorily.
and then when Street returns with his
well known gingery ways it would en-
liven the entire aggregation.
The shift of the team yesterday, where
by Unglaub was sent to first, Milan to
center and Ganley into his old stamping
ground in left, makes the aggregation
look stronger Unglaub is Freemans SUI
perior on account Of experience on the
infeld. and the outfield is now lined up
on the Nationals capable of pushing
either Ganley, Clymer or Milan out Of
his position.
Bob Ganley pulled off two clever catches
yesterday and. as luck would have it.
Barry was the sufferer each time. In the
third inning Barry sent out low fly
thai was dropping in the safe territory
between center and left Bob dashed over
and got it on the full run. In the ninth
Barry again cut loose, but this time 1t
was a mighty drive and looked to be ticK-
eted for the fence. Ganley turned his
back to the ball, put down his head and
dug out for the extreme left as though
he were flying. "AlI right" yelled Milan.
Bob turned on the instant and just in time
to pull in the ball. 1t was a pretty piece
of work by Bob and shows the value of
having another fielder help out by gaug
ing the ball. Ganley has performed like
service for Milan many times and the
coaching enables a fielder to work with
great confidence. The catch certainly
robbed Barry of at least triple.
Third Baseman Baker of the Athletics
made his first appearance in this city, an
injury keeping him from showing here
last fall. This is the young man Connie
Mack gave Reading about six men for last
year. He has certainly made good this
spring and only last Saturday defeated
Boston by making a timely home run
with three men on bases. Baker is a
right-handed thrower. but bats left-ha nd
ed and gets down to first like streak.
He did nothing yesterday outside of
pretty stop off Unglaub in the third in
ming, but his work will be watched
throughout the series with great deal
of interest by Manager Cantillon and
Player Clymer. Clymer thought he had
Baker nailed to the mast last season,
having seen him work during a lay-off.
and was enthusiastic over his work. BY
the time Cantillon started the wires work
ing Mack stepped in and signed Baker
for the Athletics.
Big Chief Bender is evidently out after
the nice fat bonus Manager Mack has
promised him for winning a certain num-
ber of games. Last season Bender's work
was of the ordinary but, notwithstand-
