Nationals Twrler Proves the Real Come Back" and
Checks the Winning Streak of Hal Chase and His
Band of Merry Highlanders
By SENATOR"

After the game Tom was feeling
pretty good. 1t always makes you feel
good to win and he was laughing and
chatting in the clubhouse, telling stories
of other victories in which he had play
ed a leading part. ~
What? Tom who? Didn't YOU know
about =. it? Here. look at this fellow
who doesn't knowSthat Tom Hughes
came back and soundly trounced
Hal Chase's Highlanders to the tune
of ITO yesterday.
No, this is no joke. Hughes did really
bedaub the Kilties with whitewash
brush and most beautifully. -.-.
At no time was Hughes anything but
master of the battle. He had a FINE
assortment of curves, and showed ex-
cellent judgment In working the cor.
ners. The hard-hittirg Jack Knight
was pcwerless in the face Of Hughes

a gate, and Harry Wolter Just couldn't
do anything with the veteran. 1t was
cinch. to use the rernacular.
Just four measlv hits. Cne OF them

delivery, and he caused, Ave valiant

But the Nationals were there strons
enough extensively to push two. runs
across, and that proved enough, too.
Tom Hughes took care of the rest of
the argument. In every session the
home talent punched out hits, and at
an times looked dangerous. Oh; they
were some team yesterday.
Not till the fourth did they send a
runner scooting over the dish. Cum

drive down the left field foul line for

a pretty sacrifice in front of the plate,

Henry ambled on. to second while the
sliding exhibition was in progress. Capt.

pinchist, selected one OF Vaughn's good
ones, and sent it flying over second. aad
Henry took his time coming in, 1t YVES
SO easy. That was the first.
The second and final tally blew In
during the sixth melee. Henry had pop

leader, once more picked one to center.
He advanced one station on Streets

down the path when the heroic Thomas
Hughes, late of Minneapolis, a frontier
town on the border, approached the pan.
The fans pulled for Tom to; drive Nc
Bride in. He did Tom got hold Of
Vaughn's bender, and poIed it between
Wolter and Hemphill for two sacks. OF

was substituted on the mound to twirl
the final session. Vaughn seemed to
have everything but deception He just
couldn't keep those Nationals from pep

Walker Disabled.

Dixie Walker may be unable to pitch
another game for a week or so. The
Alabama Baby is suffering from an in
jured foot. He had baseball shoe
that was too tight for him and. it chafed
the skin, as a result the big fellow can
not put on a spiked shoe without suffer-
ing excrutiating pain.
81 didn't look very good in the box
Monday" says Dixie, but who could
pitch good ball when his foot was pain
ing him at every step? AS soon as my
foot heals, III show plenty of smoke
out there in the box and will do nv
best to better my record of last season" 4"
last season. handicapped by Illness,
Walker won eleven and lost eleven
games. This year Manager McAleer
counts on him to do better than that,
for he is in excellent physical shape. He
was with the squad at Hot Springs,

TO burn 'em over the dish. In Monday )
game, though. he showed up very weak,
and Jimmy McAleer began to do some
deep thinking until informed of Wal

no use for him. and shall do my best
to land him with some other club. If

on to him a while longer until coz
venient opening appears. However. l
think l can place him, and am burn
ing the wires now with that end in
view.
Bunting is good lad. who ought
10 become a good third. sacker. He
looked very good at Atlanta with us
until be got that cold in his arm.
Toward the end of our stay, when his
arm had come around again. he was
beginning to play some good ball. 1
like the way he steps up to the plate
He goes up as If he meant business. /
think that with another years expert
ence under a manager who will take
an interest in him. he will come back
TO the big show again. Personally he is
a fine chap and l shall do my besu>to
find a job for him.
Bunting was a crack football and
baseball player with the Crsinus Col

ing the summer and last year was with
Fayetteville in the sally league and
with Richmond in the Virginia circuit.

failed to show anything of class during
the spring training trip and has return
