demonstrates that three innings is long
enough for any twirler to go at top speed
this time of the year.
Kid Elberfed had quite an experience
getting home yesterday morning. The
train arrived here at 1.:3O and the Kid
just missed the Chevy Chase cars. He
then went to Georgetown to try for the
Tenleytcwn route and caught the last car,
which went only to the barn. From that
point to his home In Garrett Park Is about
eight miles, but Elberfeld was anxious
about his family and trudged all the way,
arriving there about 4 o'clock in the
morning The Kid told Manager Me
Aleer that the walk did him good, but he
had great difficulty in keeping awake.
In the third inning Schaefer made
classy double play and never gave the
runner a chance to get away. Titus had
been passed when Bates lined a fast
grounder to right. Dutch picked up
the ball, touched Titus on the line and
then headed Bates off at first with
quick throw to Unglaub. Schaefer will
get many more just like it this season,
as he always has his wits about him.
The Philles face the Nationals again
this afternoon and Kid Elberfeld will be
back at third. with Groom and possibly
Johnson and Walker to help out. Dolly
Gray's sore elbow is still bothering him,
but at that he may go in the box. The
Quakers are hot under the collar on ac-
count of yesterdays defeat and will do
their best to redeem themselves.
he first appeared on the rubber in the
fourth. Bransfield first gave Street a
chance to catch high foul, which was

and then struck out Moren.
Hap" Ward of Ward and Vokes was
on the bench with Manager McAleer
throughout the game and was very much
impressed with the showing of the locals.
In conversation with a Star reporter after
the game Ward said .'You can't tell me
this team is going to finish in the sec
ond division-its too strong. You know
am great fan and watch everything
very closely, and / would like to go on
record as placing the Washington club
in the first division this year"
The Philies should not have had their
one run, but blanks all the way. In the
first place a little quicker coaching on
Mcbride would have held him back and
let Leivelt capture Bransfield's short fy

knabe then came along with foul fly
between home and third. Johnson and
Street both called for it, and as a result
both stopped and the ball fell safe.
Knabe responded with a single to right
and the lonesome tally for the Phillies
was registered. Later on there will be
plenty of coaching, and breaks of this
sort will not occur
One of the SWEETEST catches of the con-
test was pulled off up in the scorers box
by George Young of the Philadelphia
Ledger. Walker was pitching and a foul
tip came on a line into the box and d.

ball not more than two inches from the
boys face, and from the speed that was
on the ball. undoubtedly saved the little
lad from serious injury. 1t was certainly
a close shave.
The Phillies made something of a show
of themselves in kicking so persistently
at Handiboes decisions. In the sixth in
ming Ungiaub stole second and Knabe
missed him by foot at least, but set up
terrific yell when Handiboe declared
him safe. The play may have looked
close from the stands. but up in the
scorers box the miss could be clearly
seen. the Philadelphia newspaper men
agreeing with the umpire that Bob was
safe.
