TEAM RESTING UP
TODRUB BROWNS
Nationals Whetng Their Appetites For Opening Game
Tomorrow Of Final Series Here With St. Louis
With Encouragement Of Yesterdays Win.
By SENATOR"

Twenty brave and bold athletes,
Washingtons representation in the
world of baseball. are today resting
and whetting their appetites for the
st. Louis Browns, who will appear to-
morrow to play their final series of
the year in the Capital.
The Boston Red Sox made their final
bow here yesterday and just as a part
the final game by to l through a
combination Of excellent pitching by
Thomas Hughes and some puerile base
running by the Bostonians.
Everything considered. it was about
the most finished exhibition of the art
of shoots and slants that Hughes has
given since his re-entrance into the land
Of superior baseball. Hughes got away
like a cripple, and for two innings 1t
appeared as though he might get
good sound lambasting, but from the
third on he swept aside those SoX like
they were so many leaves carried away
by autumns first gale. He loked like
the Hughes OF old and there was general
regret that he lost shut-out.
The New Englanders wasted two hits
in the opener, but came mighty near
scoring at that. Hooper's salute to
Hughes was a wo-bagger past first,
and Yerkes came right back with a
thrown out attempting to count.
Speaker lined toward right center at a
mile a minute, but Elberfeld got across
In time to intercept the ball. robbed
the batter of hit, and, together with
Mcbride, completed double play Il

and It is no stretch of the imagination to
say that the Nationals were lucky 10

The Nationals scored in their half.
Milan waited and walked, moved down

back of second.
In the sixth the Nationals welded
their trusty willows SO successfully
that they doubled their total number
of runs. schaefer poled a one spot
to left and with Elberfeld out, Long
doubled past Engle. the hit being just
long enough to lift Shaefer around
to third. When Walker bounded to
short Schaefer scooted across the plate,
although Long was tagged on a fast
return before he could land on the sack
vacated by Humorous Herman. In the
put Mcbride on third but he marooned
there when Hughes split the sky with
q fly which Hooper finally bagged.
Milan ended the Nationals scoring by
tapping that little pill over the right
field fence in the eighth.
Without any warning the Red Sox
suddenly got busy in the ninth and
the more pessimistic were fearful of
drawn battle, but Hughes was monarch
of the situation and he pulled them up
before they got too fresh.
Speaker gone, Gardner raised a high
f1y near the foul lines, which Long got
under, but muffed. This seemed to I'M
settle Hughes and Gardner followed up
with q two-bagger which Long could
not reach. Lewis out helped the base

well, especially at hitting the line low.
The practice consisted mainly in rum

although early in the afternoon prac-
tice the forward pass was tried. The
men seem to muss this play up a little,
but this rawness is expected to wear
out soon.

Mystery AS To Whose
Money Is After Boston
Red Sox Stock.
WASHINGTON CLUB
TAKING NO PART
President Moves Expects Manager
Back Tomorrow Or
I'll Saturday.
By SENATOR"

One Of the mysteries surrounding
the negotiations at Boston today for
the transfer IF a large interest in the
Red Sox 20 James R. McAleer Is the
question as to just who is putting Up
the money.
= While nothing definite is known there
Is a pretty well verified report that
HAP" Ward. known for years on the
stage as an exceptional comedian, is
going in with McAleer. Ward lives
at Lynnfield, near Boston, and every
time the Washington team has been
Up that way McAleer has spent his
time with the actor. Ward has gath
cred in quite a fortune with his thea
trical ventures, and those who have
been closest to the developments are
Of the opinion that McAleer is repre-
senting considerable Ward money in
the deal.
There have been suggestions that
Charley Comiskey may be putting some
this cannot be verified, and. because
of the cry of syndicate baseball that
might arise It appears decidedly doubt
full that Ban johnson would agree to
any such proposition.
Club Taking No Part.
The Washington club is taking no d.
rect part in the arrangements, but
President Noyes said today McAleer
would probably be back in time TO
take charge of the Nationals either
tomorrow or Saturday.
Tho series with St. Louis which opens
tomorrow here is likely to mean the
Introduction of a lot of new Browns, of
whom Washington fans have seen moth

his team was destined to finish poor

beat around among the bushes until he
Earnered about as many recruits as any

some of these youngsters probably will
be seen in the games at National Park.

have been indisposed for couple OF
days, have rounded to nicely and will
be ready for the series against the

Last game here with Red sox.

The signing of Roger Bresnahan for
five years as manager of the st. Louis
National League team is the best move
that could have been made by the
woman owner of the club. Bresnahan
has been a great success as leader Of
the Cardinals He has wrought up all
st. Louis as it has not been wrought
up in years. When in st. Louis this
summer, l was surprised to note the
excitement caused by the posted scores
Of the Cardinals in the East. The
whole sleepy town seemed walked up
and that's saying something for ST.
Louis. Bresnahan has made thousands
of dollars for the owners Of the team
and, with a couple of strong twirlers,
will be in the hunt for the pennant

the chance, but no one knows whether

has many attributes needed in man

the American League. Harry Davis is
booked for Cleveland. The return OF
Jimmy McAleer may clear the skies
immeasurably. Doubtless. the own
