Leigh Richmond Freeman, who

unanimous as possible" according to
one of his cards, is in Tacoma today
in the interests of his candidacy for
the United States senate. For ten
months he has been in the race and
to him it looks like walk away for
Freeman.
ITO any man of radical views who
may think it his duty to oppose me in
seeking the office of United States
senator, l say, Stand aside and let me
pass; l do not need you; 1 shall be

your aid Now why not make my
election as near unanimous as pos

In Lord and Mcconnell secured in
trade for Frank Smith and Billy Pur-
tell. the White Sox have acquired two
ball players who have been considered
among the best in the American
League
No one would have suspected the
Boston club of listening to trade for
this pair last spring. when they seemed
to be the backbone of the Boston in
field The trade should prove ten
strike for the Chicago team. Lord has
no superior at third base. and as an
all-around inside ball player. McCon-
nell up to the time that he was out of
the game with illness played impress
sively. He may not be a better man
than Zeider, the present guardian or
the White Sox second base, but there
is no comparison between Lord and
Purtell. True, Boston wanted another
pitcher. and it got one in Frank Smith,
though that worthy has not shown
high-class form this year \ change
Of clubs may make wonderful diff
ference in him.
No matter what view the fans may
take OF the deal, it should be remem-
bered that no man has been more sue
cessful in building up a ball team than
owner JOnn L. 1aVlOf Oh the Opeeu
Boys, and this is simply another case
of his knowing what he is doing.
But it was good deal for the Chicago
Club. for Smith was anxious to get away
from there. There has always been the
greatest jealousy existing between Ed
Walsh and Frank Smith, and this did not
help matters any, SO far as the team was
concerned. Comiskey has beer wanting
to get rid of Smith, but no better OPP
portunity to take an advantageous trade
offered itselc than when Boston was will
ing to part with Lord.
The dual victory over the Maps yes
terday gives the Nationals a chance to
finish at the top Of the second division,
al achievement not accomplished here in
To- these many years. There is still quite
margin between the Nationals and
Maps. but this can be overcome if the
present good work of the team continues.
The team is better fortified now than
it has been, for there is surplus of
catching material while the pitchers are
in their best form. What is more, the
hitting is improving.
Ball players have their superstitions,

For nigh on to twenty-eight years
McAIeer never appeared on base ball

Naturally McAleer is well pleased with
the results he has obtained on the bench.
lie says that things came to such pass
that il was out of the question for him
TO work as a coacher. He would cut
loose with a yell and then would follow
the results of his folly. for generally he
was afflicted with n severe headache. vt

The Maps never had a chance against
the sterling pitching of Walter Johnson.
1t was really treat To see the western
wonder and BeckendOrf working to-
gether. They appeared to be parts of
the same machine. one needing the other
TO work smoothly Beckendorf never
caught better game in all his career as
either a Tiger or National or even in the
minors and ii is doubtful if Johnson
ever pitched better ball. He allowed but
two hits. both fiukes. Thomason's drive
was too hot for E.lberfeld while Link
secured a hit when he tried to sacrifice,
and popped the ball up just behind
Elberfeld.
Walker pitched nice article of ball
IN the second. but he owed his victory
10 the grand backstopping of young
Ainsmith. who. now that the nervous
ness has worn off, is looking more and
more ike big league material every day.
His throwing to bases was Perfect. Not
Nap stole on him. Three of them

and Birmingham in the sixth He nailed
two of them standing up. He also made
"a sensational catch of GraneyS foul In
the second. and steadied Walker through

most of them. Doc has always made
the claim that he does his most effective
hitting in the month of August and. juds-
ing from the way he welded his stick in
the double header Yesterday. he may
have reason for having come to such
conclusion. But it will take a lot of
hitting from now 10 the end of the sea-
son to bring Gesser's average where ii
ought to be.
According to the Cleveland critics
Washington has secured one of the COM
ing catchers of the league in .Ainsmth.
Though he got off poorly the first day he
donned Washington uniform he has
steadily improved, and his work behind
Walker in the second game Yesterday is
highly praised. There is every indication
that McAleer will be we'll fortified with
catchers next year, for in Ainsmith and
Henry he seems to have secured a most
promising pair Of youngsters
Dixie" Walker is displa wing his best
form just now. In the last two games
he has pitched he has shown what he can
do when in shape. His game yesterday
coming after but a single days rest
stand a lot of work and. incidentally one
who should be given lot of it.
The prediction has frequently been
made that Walker would be a star next
season. 1t usually takes these fellows
from the bush leagues a year to get set
tied down. Considering that this is vir-
tually Walkers first year in fast COM
pany he has shown TO good advantage
and he will be lot better after a while.
If there was no other team for the
Nationals to play than Cleveland there
would be nothing to these pennant races.
every year the locals win the series from
the Cleveland aggregation and usually
by long margin. This year the series
stands ten to five in the Nationals favor
and it will be increased before the season
is over. 1t used to be that Tom Hughes
was given the credit for beating the
Maps, but even with Tom out OF the
lineup the local pitchers seem - have
something on Jim McGuire's team.
During the last two weeks Of the sea-
son patrons of the game may be given an
opportunity to size up some of the young
sters Manager McAleer has secured. Gun
ningham, Somerlot and perhaps Ingerton
Of Altoona. if he is secured. will be seen
in Washington uniforms before tie cam
paign is over.
McAleer intends to bring on all the
youngsters he can this fall in order
to get a line on their ability at time
when their condition should be at it's
best. This will relieve him from doing
lot Of experimenting in the spring.

IS HARDEST MAN TO FOOL
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special DisDatch to The Star.
DETROIT, August l2-with the
Lajoie-Cobb battling feud the chief
attraction in the American League
outside the battle for the pennant. Eddie
Plank, the veteran southpaw of the Ath-
letcs. and ranked as one o. the shrewd-
est students of batsmen in tie league,
analyses the style of batting of the two
players, and gives first hOnors to Lajoie.
Without qualification, Plank declares that
the Cleveland second baseman is the
harder man to pitch to of the pair with
the idea of outguessing him.
This is the manner in which Prank
compares the two: ''Laioie hits anything
inside, outside. high low. over the
plate, and it is almost impossible TO pitch
and fool him. Stick one close to his
abdomen. and he will crash it over the
infeld, mayhap To the fence Drop one
low, and he Will hit it mile. Around
his shoulders, he will do the same thing.
Groove one, and it is suicide.
Il never try to outguess Lajoie, for
| admit that ! have nothing with which
can fool him. | simply take my chance,
and confess that he is my superior. The
easiest time to pitch to the big fellow
is when there is men on the bases. He
does not hit then as he does when the
pillows are empty
Two years ago in Cleveland, l was
trying to waste a ball He hit 1t
lick with his bat and knocked it over
pushed him one in the last series with
the Maps inside and down around mis-
knees. He bounced il to LETT field.
Can't Fool Larry.
That's the reason l pitch to Larry
and hope for luck. You can't Outsuess
him.
With Ty Cobb it is different although
Ty can hit anything that is thrown to
him. However. he is not so hard for me
to pitch to, perhaps because he is left
hand batter and Lajoie right. You can
fool the Georgian where you cannot the
Frenchman. When | am pitching against
Detroit ! take d chance with COBB and
sometimes can outguess him, although
admit his ability as batsman. He didn't
get hit off me Tuesday at Bennett
Park.
The reason for this is plain You must
pitch 10 Cobb. He will not reach out
and hit waste ball out OF the lot like
La joie. He waits for you TO hand ii to
him. where he thinks he can hit it, and
unless he gets il there he is not so for
midable.
Cobb, with his great sprinting ability,
beats out bunts and infield hits. That
why you have to figure him all the time.
Larry is the slugger pure and simple.
Now, IL Lajoie were as fast as Cobb
and laid down bunts, the gasoline go-cart
would be used by Lajoie in 1911. No one
could touch him in the American League.
For good clean hitting he is in class
by himself, and when he gets one, 1t is
one on which a boy could get to first,
second, third or home. He is the real
batter in the league, the hard man to
pitch TO and clean hitter
AT least that's the way / found him. ;
