among the Nationals today, not because
Larry Pape, the beautiful young child
Of Sir Patricius Donovan, was adorn.
ing them with mementoes in the shape
Of wasted efforts and excellent examples
of the sweeping art, but because Gabby
Street, the powerful Gabby," of Ala
bama and Williamsport, Pa, hurt the
thumb on his right hand and may not
be able to play again for some time.
But that game? Well, the Nationals
were trimmed to 3 in a bowling gale,
principally through the magnificent
hurting of one Larry Pape. The lad
was there from the first inning to the
very last, waxing stronger and stronger
as he went along. Really and truly, 1t
looked for a while as II the Nationals
were assisting at an exhibition of
pitching.
The Red Sox, cute kids. scored run
in the very first. when Hooper scooted
a single to center, and came in on
Lewis sacrifice to Somerlot. But the
nifty Nationals came across with the
tieing tally in the second. Kid Elber-
field opened with a fine bingle for two
sacks, was sacrificed by Mcbride, and
came in when Somerlot died at first.

more. That was the end OF Groom, who
seemed worried by the high wind and
the slugging of the home swatters.
Pape crashed a single to center, and
Hooper sacrificed him bag. Gardner
poked a single past Mcbride, and then
Speaker walloped another past the
dandy captain, scoring Pape. Cunning
ham opened his mouth for Lewis drive,
and froze Gardner at the pan. Engle
picked the pill to center, Speaker hoof-
ing II over, but the Red SoX fat man
couldn't steal on Gabby Street. and per-
ished on a pretty heave to Mcbride.
Two tallies.
Fatty" Engel Again.
After that Dolly Gray's peculiar pegs
had the Red Sox swinging at them, but
the sixth saw another run for the Dono-
van demons. Again il was Fatty
Engle who lifted a single to right, was
sacrificed by Yerkes. and spinned over
the dish when Williams singled to left.
The Nationals got very. very busy in
the eighth and came near tangling up
things. Milan reached second when
Engle insisted on trying to catch his
pop fiy near first base and dropped 1t.
Pape threw out Conroy and Yerkes toss
ed out I.elivelt, but Kid Elberfelds
neat and exclusive double to center,
Milan ambling over the rubber. 1t was
the Nationals last run of the windy af-
ternoon.
Just to show that they could do it, the
Red Sox punched out two more runs in
the eighth. With one down Yerkes was
passed and scored on Williams hard
drive to left for three cushions, and
while Elberfeld was killing Nunamaker
at first Williams fell over the dish.
George Mcbride so far forgot his man.
ners as to dispute with Umpire Egan in
the eighth when His Umps'' declared
HIN out on strikes. George forgot all
about the Ten Commandments and mur-
INJURED wicked thinks at Egan regard
ing his family and his descendants.
"Avaunt, caitiff," shrieked Egan to Nc
Bride and Mac" avaunted out of the
game. Warren Miller went to left, Con-
roy to third and Elberfeld to short.
However all Miller had to do was to
run after Williams triple.
Makes McAleer Smile.
Hooray, 'Hooray. and give a couple
more of them. "Rubbershirt Bill Cum
ningham bounced two bingles off Pape's
slants, two very sweet singles. He was
discovered smiling up his sleeve as he
sat on the bench after the second. Nc
AIeer was smiling at Bfll's work, too, by
the way.
Kid Elberfeld was there with the will
low, hitting for clean scores. Out of
his four jaunts to the dish he helped
himself to two doubles and two walks
along the primrose path TO first. Yes,
the Pepperbox will continue TO hold his
job with those Nationals and You folks
will continue to shrek your heads on Tor
