Say, we can endure even more greer
| pGtnt on our summer uniforms, IL those
Nationals will only keep this thing
| a-going. If they'll guarantee to do thai
to every team that hits this burg until
next Octoher-well, say, they can paint
those seats red, white, and blue and
we'll all be delighted when we march
down Seventh street all living flags OF
our glorious country. That exhibition
yesterday has cured s3 fans OF plain,
ordinary Crouch, 542 more of neuras-
thenia, 75S Of eurenIia, 349 CT pneumonia,
523 of melanCholia, and the hospitals
are overcrowded with those suspected
of insanity. These last stayed away

too, when Jimmy "laffs." Here's the
final tally: Nationals, u; Tiger Pussies,
Lafitte got a wallop in the right eye
right off the reel in the opening session.
Moriarity tuggled Milan's slap and then
tossed poorly. AS Herman Schaefer
was breezing "Zeb" filched the next bag.
Elberfeld expired. letting Milan land at
third. Gessler's plunk bounded over
Lafitte's noodle and Milan was over for
the first tally Of the game. LATTE had
thrown wildly to catch Gessler, and the
Akhoond of Swat reached second. This

the stand and putting the Nationals

grounder to Bush. Three runs right
there in the first.
But that second! Applause for the
Nationals was heard as far as Potomac
Park, and one old lady over In Alexan-
dria swears she heard cheering about

coming down the street. 1t wasn't, it
was only the Nationals rooters out at
the fortress.

the backstop tailed on Milan's sacrifice

erosity walked Schaefer and his fiendish
animosity slueged E1berfeld in the left
wrist, filing the sacks. A young fellow
named Mitchell came in for his bumps
at that point and promptly proceeded TO
get them.
Doc Gessler, still recalling that check
for $50, hammered a hard one that
Bush couldn't get. and Dixie had scored.
Red Walker singled to midfeld, scor-
