successor or the mound. Clarence
Walker opened the chapter with a ter
rife smash over Graney's head that
sent the sorrcl-topped youngster around
to third. George Mcbride came through
with neat sacrifice fly to Jackson, and
the run had counted.
Zeb' Milan hiked across with the
last run for the Nationals in the sew
enth. He first shot a hard drive that
CIson stopped, and that's all. Schaefer's
SLOW bounce went to Ball, but Milan
took a long chance and reached third
on the punch. He daringly started for
nome with the pitch and the fans stood
ana held their breaths as the Tennessee
terror came down the path toward the
plate. Craek-Elberfeld had met the
pau fractlon OF a second before Milan

Bobby Groom had gone down the line
In excellent style, but coming into the
ninth he eased up a trife and Joe Jack
son took mean advantage of this to
push home run to left field, Red
Walker falling to gauge correctly the
pain OF lis descent. StOVall also SMASH

he only reached second. The perpen-

test with neat strike-out OF Neal Ball.
Balls Sensational Stop.
Ball made a sensational stop OF MI

in the first inning that killed a double,
at least, getting the Tennessee terror

yesterday.
Clarence Walker. besides sticking a
homer and a triple, circled around in
the garden and got a trio Of flies in a
capable manner. Today he can have
anything from a half-used cigarette 20
a slightly soiled toothpick from the fans
down in the pavilion beside him. The
boy sure was some class in that wallop-
ing victory.
Here's the official dope on the battle,

and Foster, cannot be expected until the
tough fight for the Eastern League gon-
falor is finished. Their club is up there
at the top, and they are needed badly.
However, as soon as the flag has been
placed they will join the Nationals, and
most likely will be put into the lineup
Fans like new faces. Larger crowds
will go to the painted palace if they
are to see youngsters in the game.
Clarence Walker already is warm
favorite with the fans out near his
hailiwick, and it Is largely because he
is new blood in the outfit. Fans the
country over like new faces, and the
Washington management is showing
good business sense in going after them.
1t will show even more II II will see that
the youngsters are placed in the nne-up.
The Nationals have nothing to lose
this year. The pennant will not fly
from the local staff. 1t will be good
common sense to try out the youngsters
as fast as they show up. 1t will also
be good business sense to have them out
there and keep them well advertised.
The fans are certain to flock to the park
to see the lads.
Dixie Walker is a raging hurricane
these days when 1t comes to pounding
out the bingles. He is close to the 400
mark now, and seems almost certain of
catching Ty Cobb before the season is
done. He says he will, anyway. Fol-
lowing are the batting and pitching fig-
ures Of the Nationals, including ye5ter-
days glorious victory over the Nap
landers:

The ball still bounds.

1t would, indeed, be a most difficult
task to convince anyone who followed
yesterdays game at National Park that
the lively ball is not still in use in the
American League. When It become evi-
dent that long hitting was to be the
most pronounced feature Of the season
of 1911 there was much talk of doing
away with the latest product IN the
form Of a sphere and returning to the
old ball, which made fence smashing a
much more difficult proposition. At diff
ferent times 1t has been reported that
the new ball had been discarded, but
that this is not true was thoroughly
demonstrated yesterday. Those home
run drives Of Gessler, Walker, and
Jackson would have gone bounding
against the fence in the old park, and
they were not the only long smashes at
that. The fact that the fielders are
playing very deep is killing many a long
fly that would go for a triple or homer
we're It not for the fact that the play
ers realize that they cannot take a
chance in playing short as long as the
present ball continues in the game.

LAWRENCE, Mass, July 30.-Albin
Carlstrom, shortstop on the Lawrence
baseball team, who has been recon-
mended to Washington, was born in
Elizabeth. n. j.. twenty-three years
ago. He played in and around that town
with semi-pro teams and his first en-
gagement of any Importance was with
the PlainfeId. N. J. team. In July of
1910, he was made an offer by Lawrence
and reported to the club July %, 1910
He stands feet II inches and weighs
168 pounds. He bats and throws right
handed.
Carlstrom is a lanky young fellow.
When he first came to Lawrence he
made a sensational start. He was COM
pared, in action, to Russell Blackburne,
who broke in with the New England
League. Carlstrom did well last year,
but he finished poorer than he started
This was due in no small measure to
the poor article Of ball that Lawrence
furnished.
Short Field Leader.
This year Carlstrom has developed
into the best short fielder in the New
England League. He made many er-
rors at the beginning of the present
season, but a fast first-sacker would
have saved him a lot, as his misplays
came on bad heaves.
His fielding just now is wonderful. In
the last ten games that he has played at
short he has not made an error, having
sixty chances. He has made but one
error in twelve games out of sixty
seven chances. The error was made on
the Haverhill grounds. which are the
poorest in the circuit.
Carlstrom has played few games in
the field, having nine chances and one
error. He has played 72 games at short
stop, has made 176 put-outs, 1888 assists,
IS errors, and his average is,9O.
Record at the Bat.
- At the bat he has played II games,
been 2S4 times at the bat, scored IS
runs, made Il hits. and his average is
$50. He has made II secrifice hits, stolen
32 sacks, made doubles. triples, and
homers.
He leads the Lawrence team in sacri-
fee hits, runs, stolen bases, topping the
second man in the latter department by
twelve. For a long time Carlstrom led
the New England League in stolen
bases and would today, If he had not
been out Of the game on account Of an
injury. He Is easily the fastest man in
the league and would make a good out
fielder as well as infielder.

Joke on a player.

That is a mighty cruel jest that some
humorist in the middle West is per-
petrating on a youngster by the name
Of Arthur Bennett, who has been catch
ing on a fresh-water college in Indiana.
At Chicago Bennett presented himself
to Manager Mckleer and said he was
ready for a trial with the Nationals.
McAleer asked him to explain and he
said that some one at Interlaken Col
lege had told him he was wanted by
the Washington club as a backstop.
The manager tried to hide a smile and
explained that he could not use Bennett
at that time. Sorely disappointed, the
youngster treked his way back into the
land of the Hoosiers. Now some one
has written to Bennett telling him that
McAleer has decided he is too light,
but that he will be placed in some minor
league for further seasoning. McAleer
knows nothing Of Bennett, but appre-
ciates the little joke which some one is
playing on the innocent collegian-

Honors to Canadians.

Rowing enthusiasts In the United
States may find food for thought in the
results Of the national regatta at Sara
toga on Friday and yesterday. The
real tItumphs were won by the Cana
dams, and the Argonauts established a.
record for themselves by winning six
events, every one in which they were
entered. While 1t was pretty generally
believed that the Canadians would win
the classic senior eight-oared race, there
were few who believed the men from
across the border would make any such
a sweep as the summary shows. 1t is
now up to the boat clubs Of this city to
get mighty active If they expect to next
year regain the numerous laurels that
will rest in the Dominion for at least
the next twelve months.

Jones a real champion.

Our fellow townsman, John Paul
Jones, who, running for Cornell made
a new worlds record for the mile at the
intercollegiate championship, yesterday
demonstrated that even during vacation
when he cannot keep himself in as good
condition as during the college year, he
is by far the best miller in America.
When Jones performed his great feat
by breaking Tommy Conneff's old rec
ord. there were many who believed that
Abel Kivlat Of the Irish-American
Club, and national champion, was a
better man. This feeling was dispelled
yesterday when the pair met and Jones
won out by a margin of twenty yards.
AS the race was run on a slow track
the time was not especially good, but
Jones showed that he still is the cham
pion. in the best sense Of the term.

Pulling for the Nationals.

1t is a matter Of qualification to SEQ
much OF the feeling against the Wash
ington ball club on the decrease, since
the owners have shown that they really
intend to better conditions here by pick
Ing up any players who show promise.
A few weeks ago The Times had a few
pointed things to say about the Ma
tionals and the absolute failure TO make
any arrangements that would justify a
belief that the team next season would
be strengthened. Since then there has
been much activity here. and things are
now shaping up rather encouragingly.
although much still remains to be done
before Washington can be said to have
a ball club that is run along the modern
lines that obtain in cities where victory
is more of a rule than an exception.
