The game was the best seen here this
season and number of fast plays were
pulled off. Much enthusiasm prevailed
in the ninth inning when the visitors
strained every nerve to overcome the
lead of six runs. and did manage to score
five runners when the home-team pitcher
weakened. allowing two hits. Up to this
inning Sullivan, who was on the firing
line for the home team, had only allowed
three hits.

JAY EYE SEE DEAD.
Famous Old Racer Was First Horse
To Trot in 2,1O

MILWAUKEE,, June 2S.-Jay Eye See,
the famous old racer, died at Racine.
where the animal had been living on a
pension for fourteen years. He was
the first horse to trot in 30. The
horse was bought at Lexington, KY. by
Jerome l. Case of Racine. He was re-
tired from the track in 1895. and has
never been raced since.
1t was more by accident than design
that Jerome l. Case secured possession
of the famous gelding. He saw lie
horse when a colt on the farm of Col.
West. near Lexington, one of the famous
old stock farms of Kentucky. Col. West
did not think much of the gelding, and
allowed 1t to leave his string at a low
price Case turned the horse over to
Trainer Bither with the rest of his string.

The figures in the accompanying tables
give a complete and accurate description
of the work of all the players of the 1909
team of the Nationals from the COM
mencement of the pennant race in the
American League which is emblematic
of the championship. the said tables be-
ing compiled from the official scores as
published in the columns of The. Evening
Star from day to day, to Sunday, June
-, including the game played Saturday
with Boston. The Nationals have con-
tested with the other seven teams COM
posing the American League, east and
west, both at home and abroad, fifty
seven games, and in these contests they
secured twenty victories and have suf
fered thirty-six defeats, gain of two
victories and six defeats, having played
eight games during the past week, and
they played one tie game with Chicago of
seventeen innings They have lost ten
games by the margin of one run. The
team as a whole is keeping up the i'm
provement in batting during the past
week, although losing COZ points. There
are seven batsmen who have Increased
their batting percentage from .OO2 to OlO,
which is good sign. In the new recruit,

that he will soon be able to resume his
old place in left field.
Browne Still the Leader With 1888.
George Browne still continues to lead
the team in the batting department with
an average of 1888. an increase of .OO5
for the week. He took part In four
games during the past week and was at
and made four hits which gives him a, bat
ting average for the week of 1854. which Is
going some. Mcbride batted .269 for the
week. Donohue at 80, Conroy at $50
and Delehanty at 1888. Cnglaub was at
bat 'thirtythree times and made ten
hits. giving him an average Of 1903 for
the eight games played during the week.
Unglaub, as first baseman, leads the
team in fielding, and,- In fact. is the
leader altogether, as he has played In
and those at second base. Donohue in
the same position comes next, with an
average of .931, loss of OOo points, as
he made two errors in one game last
week, something very rare for "Jiggs.
The team is playing very fine game in
the fielding line and leads the American
League in this respect. and if it would
only get its eyes on the ball it would
soon be ranking near the top as batting
team, which is very essential in winning
games Johnson is the only winning
pitcher up to date, as he has won seven
games and lost seven, giving him a per-
centage of 800 He has won the. last
five games in which he has ofiiciated.
Groom seems to have lost control and is
very wild. and SHOULD work hard to
master this defect. Then he would began to
win games, as otherwise he has everything
that a pitcher needs. Altrock in the game
against Boston showed that there is some
good work in him yet and should have
won his game. Gray Is not showing up
as we'll as he did at the beginning of the
season. The following figures give bet
ter idea of the work of the Nationals to

From the commencement of the pennant
race in the American League for the

while the teams who opposed them in
these contests have made sixty-seven sac
