Testimonial for Former Ma

in Capital This
..A.RAkA Week.
By SENATOR"

AS a testimonial Of appreciation for
his long and valuable services to base
ball, a movement has been started In
the American and National Leagues to
have a day set aside when a proportion
of receipts in all the games will be
turned over to Uncle Nick Young.
During many of the most trying days
Of the senior organization this Wash
tngtonian was president, and although
he long ago withdrew from active d.
rection he still is remembered by many.
His former associates are behind the
project Just launched.
1t was learned today that there al
ready has been considerable corre-
spondence in the matter, the proposition
having been put up to Presidents john
son and Lynch. Both Of these heads
declare they are heartily in favor Of
the plan, and will do anything within
their power to make it successful
Chief Drawback.
The one drawback that may be en-
countered is the lateness in starting
the arrangements. The leagues now
have less than three weeks to run, and
there may be considerable difficulty in
finding suitable days that are agreeable
to all clubs concerned. Should there be
no Uncle Nick" day this fall it is said
the affair surely will be held some
time early next season.
Since his retirement from the presi-
dency Of the National League Mr..
Young has continued in the Govern
ment service here, and whenever the
opportunity presents itself he takes in
the games al National Park. He is not
so close a follower Of the politics Of
the game as in the olden days, but has
q collection Of stories that makes him
most pleasant company for anyone who
remembers the times when the National
League was the admitted superior Of
all other baseball circuits. Mr.. Young
always has been most popular with his
co-workers, and every time any Of them
come to Washington they do not over
look an opportunity to look him up and
talk over old times.
Uncle Nick is the father of Robert
H Young, president of the amateur
baseball commission Of the District.

I 1t would indeed be a miserly individ-
ual who would covet the single tax
from which he parted to see the naive
Nationals and the buffeted Browns In
that yoke of games yesterday after
noon.
For nearly four hours the two teams
that have spent much Of the season
contending for the cellar championship
gave a rather remarkable exhibition Of
how the national sport should and
should not be played. Misplays and
missed plays were herded in with bril-
liant feats and when 1t was all over the
teams had halved the contests.
Dixie" Walker was a winner and
Buck Becker met q Yorktown.
The Nationals were entitled to a VIC
tory in the opener and they got II and
they deserved a trouncing in the second
ard they got 1t. The games were SO
drawn out that toward the close the
play became rather tiresome and the
gathering amused itself at the expense
of those who were shortsighted as to
appear at a ball park on September ls
wearing straw hats.
The Nationals counted In the sec
ond, when Long doubled to the right
field fence, took third on a sacrifice,
and slid across the plate before the
ball could be returned from short on
McBrides blow. In the third Elber-
field and Long singled, and the former
scored on McBride's long fly.
The game was made reasonably safe
in the fourth, when, with one gone,
Henry singled and stole. Dixie
Walker was out from being hit by a
batted ball. but Milan walked, and
when Hallinan booted Schaefer's roller
Henry counted, Milan taking third.
Schaefer started for second, and on
the throw down Milan saw his chance
and beat the return home. Elberfeld's
long single to right went sufficiently
far to enable Schaefer to sprint across
the rubber from second.
Singles by Compton and Kutina, with
a sacrifice, netted st. Louis one In the
fifth, but in the eighth they showed
their greatest offense. Shotten beat a
bunt and made third on Hogan's safe
drive, coming in when Laporte hit
over second. When Hogan started for
third Henry's throw went past Morgan,
and the Brownie scored. being followed
across by Laporte on Kutina's sacri-
flee.
This ended the run getting, and the
following will show how each and
every man performed:

Who'll be manager?


1t appears rather foolish for the bear
stories to start from Georgetown Field

ure Of three Of the veterans to report
within two days Of the opeaing Of pre-
liminary work. Teams thai have hard
er schedules than the Blue and Gray
will be forced to face. do not start

and 1t may be taken for granted that It
will be the latter part Of the week be-
fore all Of the holdoverS return.
Georgetown's outlook, as pointed out in
The Times yesterday, is without qualf4i-
cation the brightest in years and no
amount Of indigo painting will alter the
opinion Of Georgetown men that q sue
cessful season is just starting. OPP
timism, even under the most trying
conditions, Is the keynote Of the sue
cess Of the really successful teams, and
IL this long-faced, pessimistic feeling
once gets widespread II may be in

Is expected. Cheer up and send forth

are the teams Washington fandom
will have an opportunity to see in ac-
tion this week.
The Browns close here tomorrow,
the White Sox open on Tuesday and
on Saturday the Maps will start their
final series of the year here.
None of these teams are serious
contenders for high honors, but the
closing weeks of the season will be a
most attractive one for this city, as
both the Philadelphia Athletics and
Detroit Tigers will be on exhibition
at National Park.
Watching National Race.
At the beginning of the season the
indications were that Detroit was the
favorite among the fans here for the
championship, but the slump of the
Tigers and the squirt of the Athletics
has left no doubt as to which is the
, better team. With the American
League race over. interest is now CEN
tered in that battle for premier posi-
ton in the National, with most of
Washington pulling for the New York
Giants. The Chicago Cubs appear TO
be through. and II the worlds series
is played in Philadelphia and New
York II unquestionably will be seen
by the greatest crowd of Washing
fonIans that ever has attended q sim
liar affair.
Last October hundreds of baseball
patrons of this city made the trip to
Phils delphia, and with New York
within easy reaching distance 1t may
be expected that there will be many
a face from this city in the stands at
every game during the series.
. Of course the leaders in the Ameri-
can League are the ones Washington
wants to see win, but the Giants have
been going along so well of late, that
there will be large sums posted by
washingtonians on the New Workers.

Now for the forward pass.

The calm brutality Of the Norris
Flynn bout in New York Friday evening
is arousing Indignation everywhere. 1t
is pointed out that the referes should
have stopped the affair when Morris be-
gan to bleed 80 prof;,sely. Referees pay
no attention to blood. for, II a man Is
strcng-and Morris was-he might slip
over the sleep punch at any moment.
Morris wasn't hurt a bit, though pretty
well cut UP. Most of the indignation is
caused by those fistic writer's who de-
light in describing bout like a chunk
out Of 4 verestchagin picture.
