GRAY TAKES FIRST )
. OF DOUBLEHEADER
. BY LOYAL SUPPORT
Second Game With Athletics
AZ Here Is Frittered
- Away.
BY SENATOR"

That doUbleheader yesterday was re-
narkable for several things. Dolly
Gray, pitching the same cool, heady
game as he did in the Land of Nod last
week, was given excellent support by
his mates, and a little timely sticking
Result-Gray COPIED the victory over
Plank by a score of to 8.
AS a baseball exhibition the second
game was a farce. The players We're
wellnigh exhausted by their hard work
in the sun during the first game, and
there was a distinct slump in the work
of both teams. Hitting was plentiful
and misplays chased them into the
scorers book, and when the shades of
might were drawn down the Mackerels
had won by a score of 16 to g.
Rooters Are Plentiful.
Quite a bundle OF rooters were out to
welcome the champions. Before the
game had gone far they were welcom-
ing the Nationals. Such is life. Doc
Gessler, merry sprite, started the sec
ond with a safety to center: Red"
Walkers dump in front of the pan was
good for single, and Mcbride filled
the. corners by giving McInnis one he
couldn't swallow. ''Rubbershirt BiT'
Cunningham, who later in the day
seemed sweating blood, showed a hard
one through Barry's hands, scoring
Gessler and Walker. Henry added to
Planks dismay by laying one down for
him and the twirler lost Mcbride slid
ing into third. The Nationals leader
came across by fancy skipping after
Amos Strunk had taken Grays sacrifice
ballooner.
In the third Bristol Lord biffed the
pill to the roof of that storage ware
house filled with loafers in the right
corner and rambled all the way around
In the seventh Barry crashed a triple
to center and scored on Davis sacrifice
hoist to Gessler standing for out in the
Sahara.
Murphy gave Gray an easy chance in
the ninth, but the southpaw threw badly
and the Mackerel reached second He
-pllfered third, and came in when John
Henry let the pill trickle through his
myers and roll to the screen.
Winning Run in Eighth.
The Nationals showed over their win
ming run in the eighth, Kid Elberfeld
being the gent with the horseshoe. No
matter how you look at it, he's always
mixed up in victories some way. With
one down he laced a single to center
Gessler's back was broad and afforded
fine target for Martin. Both runners
stole spontaneously. Red Walker was
soft and famed, but Mcbride belted a
smoker at McInnis, and he lost it, His
kidlets tramping over

Dolly Gray in form.

I never saw Dolly Gray look better
than he did yesterday against the Atn-
letics.
II there ever was a time the Athletics
wanted to make a cleanup 1t was yes
terday, as a double victory would have
meant first place, but Gray was 20 eff
fective In that opener that he was mas
ter Of the situation all the way.
A surprisingly large crowd was on
hand, and while the throng appeared
to enjoy the first game there was much
evident disgust with that second ex-
hibition, which was simply a smuggling
matinee, with neither of the Nationals
twirlers able to stop Connie Marks hit

BLOOD HOUNDS RUN
ON TRACK OF THIEVES
sharp Scented CANNES Trace Store
Robbery at berkeley Springs to
Boys and They Confess.

Berkeley Springs, April 1s.--For
some time past the merchants and
other citizens of this place have been
annoyed by thieves getting into
houses and stores: and On Monday was
thrown into an uproar by the report
that r. ID. Fishers store had been
robbed.
Mr.. Fisher Immediately telegraph
ed to Mr. Landers, at Fairmont w.
Va, 10 bring his blood hounds here
TO trace the thief, Mr.. Landers arriv-
ed in town about 9 O'Clock Monday
night and after an hours search the
dogs stopped at certain house, and
everyone th0ugnt the thier hal been
located, but later events developed an
entire new source. Ii seems that sew
eral boys we're the perpetrators Of
the robbery and, hearing that the dogs
We're to be turned loose again yester-
day, became frightened and confessed
that they had done the deed and that
the dogs had taken the proper trail
on Monday evening and followed them
in every move they hao made ON Sun
day, the theft having been committed
about D. m.
The boys were given a hearing be
fore Squires Coughlan and Johnson
Monday evening who remamded the
childred to custody of their parents
with strict confinement to their yards
or homes and with instructions that
| IL the children were found on the
street within Is days they would be
arrested and confined in the jail. This
decision was very highly commended
by the community and it is hoped will
be the means OF correcting the ulruly
| habits of the boys.
The people here are elated over the
performance OF the dogs and are now
in hopes that it will be the means oil
breaking up this stealing.
Mr.. Geo. Sanders threw the old
| brick stack at the tannery this morn
ing to get It out of the way for the
Geld sorage plant that Messrs. Bart
lett, Rymer & CO. have in course Of
erection.

SCOTT WOULD DISPENSE PLuMs
Former Senator Wants TO BE Sole
West VIRGINIA Referee.

Washington, April 19.-Davis Elki1s
who served for few weeks in the
Senate as the successor of his father,
and former Representative Sturgiss.
of West Virginia, were at the White
House yesterday and talked with the
President about West Virginia politics
and patronage.
1t seems that former Senator Ma
than ID. Scott would like to be the
cole referee and dispenser OF patron
age in West Virginia. This does not
exactly suit the Elkins element and
they want to impress this fact upool
the President. Also, it is understood,
they talked with the President about
the necessity of doing something in
West Virginia that will prevent the
democrats from again sweeping that
State In 1919.
