First National. 6
In yesterdays game the Commercial
National Bank team defeated the nine
from the Second National Bank Of Wash
ington by the score of . to 0. The game
was just as one-sided as the score shows.
The Commercial sluggers took a decided
liking to Hollands speed. and slammed
1t all over the field for a total Of twenty
three hits and thirty three total bases.
The long hits were made by Bell. with
a homer; Varela, Benson and Seay, with
triples, and Salt, with double.
For the losers. CuIlum played beauti-
full game in the short field. accepting
eight chances without single error. AT
the bat this boy banged out a pretty two
Dagger. but was left stranded at the mid
die station.
The Commercial batting lamps were
certainly trimmed for slaughter yester-
day, Benson and Varela being the heroes.
Benson garnished four out of four times
up. one being good for triple while
Varela took four out Of five times at bat,
one also going for a triple. This boy also
felded perfect game, accepting four
chances without an error.
Clancy, the Catholic University star all
around player, made his first appearance
in this league with Commercial yesterday.
He played the left garden, and both in the
field and At bat showed that he deserved
all the good things that have been said
about him this year.

BY J. ED GRILLo.

When things are breaking poorly even
a championship team appears to be out
classed by it's much weaker opponent.
While, Of course, playing strength cuts a
decided figure in base ball, there is really
no way of figuring how great a part luck
plays in the game. The average ball
game when 1t Is dissected shows that the
team which lost could have won but for
some one thing that happened. Frequent
ly 1t is luck which gives one team the
victory and works against the other. But
luck is supposed to break even during a
campaign of six months duration, and
strength, of course, is sure to tell. But
luck also affects the actual strength of a
team. To have Its best players incapaci-
tated or out of form are just breaks of
luck in the game.
In the games the Athletics have played
here this series things have been break
ing pretty well for the Nationals. but it is
not often that luck comes this way,
Notwithstanding the fact that luck is
supposed to break even.
Give this Washington team, even as
it is now made up. a strong pitching
stan and 1t would make a lot of trouble
for the other seven teams in the race.
1t would not win a pennant, but 1t
would be in the fight Though there are
weak spots in the lineup, these would
not appear SO troublesome If the pitch
ing was always of high order. That
has been the trouble this year beyond
doubt. The team has had but compare
lively few well-pitched games and this
has been responsible for its poor show
ing more than any other failing it may
have. team with a high-class pitch
ing staff can have other weaknesses
and still hold a good position in
race.
When the scarcity of players for
certain positions are considered it
should not be overlooked that ii has been
many years since there have been so few
seasoned first basemen in the American
League as at the present time. Hal
Chase of New York and George Stovall
OF Cleveland are the only two expe-
rienced first basemen in the league. The
other six are nothing more than expert
mentS and in most cases are players
who are seeing their first service in the
position.
Mc1nnes. who until this year never
played first base, in Harry Davis shoes.
Boston has converted Williams. a catch
er, for Jake Stahl's place. while Chicago
is playing Collins, formerly an outfielder,
on the bag. Schaefer played everywhere
but first until he was showed there by
McAleer. while in the absence of Gainor
a youngster. Delehanty. a second base
man, is doing duty at the first station for
Detroit. st. Louis really has had no first
baseman at all since Wallace let Hauser
go. There never has been such a scare
chances are that the condition will>cause
the development of several good men
out of the present bunch.

In yesterdays contest he split his fingers
by trying to catch hot liner or G. DON

his leg by sliding into second, but he
finished the final three innings of the
game in great form.
De Ieary. the fast second baseman of

difficult chances with but one slip-up.
De Ieary is undoubtedly the best fielding
second baseman in this league, but he
certainly is being given a run for his
money by Jones Of the Tenleytown team

READY TO REPORT
ON WOOLEN INDUSTRY

Washington, Oct 29.--The tariff
boards report on the wOOlen industry
is to be transmitted to congress upon
the opening of the next session In De-
cember, and the boards report on cot
ton will follow probably before Jan
uary. This, 1t became known today,
is the administrations program with
relation to the big tariff fight that
will be waged in congress this winter.
A staff of fifteen clerks at the census
bureau is putting the finishing touches
upon the boards woolen report. Com.
pletiOn of the tables now being pre-
pared will practically terminate the
statistical work, and it is expected
that the report will be printed and
placed in President Taft's hands in
ample time for transmission to con-
gress by December l.
An appropriation bill passed by con-
gress for continuing the existence OF
the board called for a report on wool
by that time, and every effort has
been made to insure completion OF the
figures by the required date.
President Taft has declared that
schedule X is the most complicated
schedule in the tariff and that many
rates in it are TOO high.
