from city to city in their own spe-
ciIlay built private car, If the plans
now being considered by Manager
Jimmy McAleer are completed.
II such a car is obtained by the
club the Nationals will be the first
ball team to travel in their own car,
and this alone will be worth thous-
ands of dollars in advertising on the
road. Before the season is done Man
ager McAleer will very likely confer
with Superintendent McElroy of the
Pullman company as to the advisable
ity of obtaining the best car that
can be turned out of the Pullman
shops.
Such an innovation is bound to at
tract the attention of baseball mag
yates throughout the big leagues, and
H would not be strange If Barney

Nationals would get the same thing:
1t would cost the club about Slo.Ooo

built to order. This could be htted
with every known appliance for the
comfort and ease of the players. II
would cost the club the price of TWEEN
ty-five full tickets every time the
car was used, aside from the porter
and the various needs of the car itself,
such as ice, water, gas, and linen.
Manager M"Aleer $ elated over the
idea of having i private car for the

Did you see Germany Schaefer and

WelI-there you are. Jimmy McAleer
grunted and groaned as he saw 1t come
in and take its seat there, and when his
hired men communed with the strange
thing they call Consul, man-ape, Jimmy

and couldn't win.
They didn't, either; dropping the hon.
ors to the champion Athletics to the
tune of to 2.
A goodly throng were there to see
the opening combat of the series. and

An Inning for Fun.
In the final inning another run came
in. Why. nobody representing the club
could say. 1t just came in for fun,
