BY J. ED GRILLO.

Not since the days when under the
guidance of Jake Stahl the Nationals re-
turned from trip occupying first place
has there been as much real interest
manifested in Washington ball team as
there is at the present time.
The really excellent showing Of Nc
Aleer'S team on the present trip has
aroused enthusiasm here such as one
might find in other cities if lie home
team was leading the race into the
stretch. Not only is the teams good
work most gratifying because it now
stands chance of finishing at the head
of the second division, but to have a
winning squirt materialize during a period
when the team was apparently in worse
shape than it has been in at any time
this season is particularly pleasing.
Yesterdays victory at Detroit proves
that the team showing against Cleveland
was not mere flash in the pan. The
same pace which made victories over
the Maps possible was kept up against
the champions. No team in the circuit
is playing better ball than are the Ma
tionals. and all because they are fortu-
nate enough to do their hitting at the
right time. That is where the luck of
occasions that the breaks Of the game
come in this direction that one really
wonders how it can be possible.
With the pennant virtually cinched by
the Athletics interest in this neck of the
woods now centers in the game fight the
Nationals are making for fifth place.
Every day recently they have been
crawling up on Cleveland, and there is a
possibility that within the next week the
Maps may be passed.
To have Washington finish fifth will
be great achievement for Jim McAleer.
True, the team which he is now COM
handing is made up largely from mate
rial which Joe Cantillon provided. but
the man at the helm deserves credit for
having obtained such very satisfactory
results.
Not only would there be lot of salts
factlon In finishing in front of three
clubs In the race. but such performance
would give real hope for the future, for
It would prove beyond question that
McAleer has more than a mere nucleus
Tor winning ball team at his command.
Having had a team which acted as
the official door mat for the other seven
teams for these many years. it is easy
enough to enthuse when the Nationals

win a few games and threaten to occup,
a respectable position in the race.


Beginning Monday the Nationals are
scheduled to play twenty-five games
on their own grounds. If the work Of
the team on it's present trip can. be
taken as criterion, there is no reason
why majority of these games should
not be won, for they are all with the
western teams. and aside from Detroit
there Is no real strength in any of the
western teams. To date the Nationals
have won a majority of the games from
these teams. and the way they are now
going they should be able to keep I'D
the pace once they get on their own
grounds.
Every one of McAleer's pitchers has
shown splendid form Of late. Except
ing the first game that Reisling pitched
at Cleveland none Of the local twirlers
have proven easy for their opponents, and
on most occasions they have held them
at bay What is more, McAleer is well
fortified with catchers. Ainsmith is now

It makes a lot Of difference to have 5
couple of husky youngsters, full OF am

done their share to win games for the
Nationals on this trip. Both are anx-

"Old Master" a Popular Fighter.

less sort OF fellow, and. as is the case
with most of his race, had little idea of

he was popular with ring followers In all
parts of the country. He never tried to
force his presence upon any one. No one
knew his place better than poor Joe. If

popularity a much easier one.

BREAKS WORLDS RECORD
THE HARVESTER DRIVEN FAST
EST HEATS EVER TROTTED.
Could Have Beaten Cresceus' Record
Had It Been Necessary to
Extend Him.

CLEVELAND, August 1S.-Another
worlds record was broken at the Grand
Circuit races at North Randall Park to-
day. The Harvester, driven by Ed
Geers, won the two heats of the 2.O6
trot in 2.04A and 2.Os14, respectively,
,, making the two fastest heats ever trot-
ted in a race by stallion.
Incidentally The Harvester clipped one
second off his own record, equaled the
stallion trotting record made by Cresceus
at the Brighton Beach track in 1902,
and set new mark for five-year-old
trottng stations in a race in the second
heat.
The stallion had such a big lead over
Sonoma Girl, Wilkes Heart and Orc that
Geers did not extend him on the stretch.
Had he done SO The Harvester would
have eclipsed Cresceus record of
2.O2,4 made against time at Columbus
in 1902. which still stands as the stall
lion trOtting record.
The free-for-all pace. with four en-
tries, was easily won by Ross Il, fast
time being made In both heats. In the
second heat Ross *. stepped the mile in
2.O2a4, half second slower than the track
record. Carter. who was behind Giftline,
was taken to task by the judges for not
warming up his horse before the second
heat and when Giftline acted badly in
ten attempts to start was replaced by
Mcdonald.
PAGERS in Struggle.
The 2.12 pace developed the fiercest
competition Of the weeks program. It
took six heats to decide the event. Sunny
Jim, the favorite. won the first heat, but
Col. Forest took the next two. Then
Peter Pan, who had little over the field,
proved himself the best slayer and took
the next three heats in order.
The final heat of the 2.17 trot, unfinish-
ed from yesterday, developed pretty
fight between DOvell and Butterbrook
each of whom had won two heats, until
the three-quarter pole, when Butterbrook
broke and DOvell won without trouble.
Remorseful. winner of the 2:21 trot,
the closing event OF the meeting, mar
rowly escaped being distanced in the
first heat, but came back strong and
captured the second and deciding heats
in easy fashion.
Judge Newton announced today that
the sulky to which Uhlan was driven in

day was the one used when Lou Dillon

Weight Stops Ad and Packey.

VIC Jul VI place.
Weight Stops Ad and Packey.
1t is doubtful If Ad and Packey can be
brought together at that. Wolgast prob
ably will insist on 133 pounds ringside.
and 1 do not think that Mcfarland will
agree to make this weight He would
not do 1t for Battling Nelson. as he
claimed 1t would leave him In too weak a
condition. and Ad surely is every bit as
tough as the Battler
Inc champion, on the other hand, has
no trouble in making 123. and probably
can fight few pounds lighter, so as he
won the championship at the lightweight
limit he surely will not be in favor of
r1sk1ng his title In contest with such
competent mechanic as Mcfarland, when
he is forced to give away weight. A few
pounds make considerable difference with
the little fellows
1t would not be q bad idea IL some OF
the leading lights in the boxing game
would get together and establish a. new
scale of weights. Under present condi-
tons few pounds bar many a good man
out Of the class to which he really be-
longs. AS, for instance. Netherlands
case. For that matter. we have had a
to Suit the occasion.
Cans Won Title at 1876.
When Cans won the title from Frank
Erne the weight was 10. Although Joe
was the champion, in order to get
match with Nelson he was forced to
make 1873 pounds, and he lost the title at
this weight. Wolgast Won from Nelson
at the same notch and will insist on all
challengers for the championship DOING
the same. An international scale OF
weights would fill the bill. In England
the lightweight limit is 13J pounds.
Ny suggestion for a new scale OF
weights, to cover the principal classes,
would be as follows: Featherweight.
from 1o2 to 80; lightweight. 131 to 1i6;
welterweight, 137 to 1is, and middle
weight, 149 to los. Any man above 1JS
and below no. a light heavyweight.
These figures my idea of what would
be about right and are offered sug :
gestion to the experts of both England
and America.
And while on the subject OF weights, let
us take the case of poor Joe Cans. who
died of consumption in Baltimore. When
Cans met Nelson at Goldfield he was
forced to weigh i'm at 133 pounds in ring
costume, which meant about III stripped
While Joe may not have taken the best
of care of his health at all times, 1t is
also true that he weakened himself to
such an extent in reducing for the Gold
field match that he never fully recovered
and has been failing ever since. Surely
here Is an argument in favor of q new
scale.
