DETROIT, Mich, May 22.-With Kid
EIberfeld limping badly on wrench
ed left ankle, received yesterday in
Cleveland when he blocked Jack
Graney off third base. Jimmy Nc
Aleer's latest scheme for speeding up
the National machine may go awry
today. He had intended putting Ell
berfield at second and vivid" Conroy
at third for a few days with the idea
that a rest might work improvement
in the mental condition of Bill Cum
ningham. Elberfelds injured ankle
may postpone this change in the line
up for a few days.
The little third-sacker slept hardly
an hour last night on the boat, and
this morning could walk only with
great difficulty. He insisted on walk
ing from the wharf to the hotel, how
ever. though every step made him
twitch with pain. His left ankle is
pulled and sore, making it almost an
impossibility for him to play ball.
If he cannot get into the game. Con-
roy will take his place and Cunning
ham remain at second.
Nothing has been heard from Cab
by" Street yet. 1t is thought that he
may be away on a fishing trip. Nc
Aleer expects him to join the club
Saturday in Washington at the latest.
Charlie Somers, president Of the Cleve-
land club, very chivalrous,y offered Nc
Aleer the use of Sid Smith, his husky,
smuggling backstop, until the Nationals
cripples report for duty.
McAleer spent Sunday In Youngstown
Ohio, and did not see how close he came
to losing the services OF Henry The
big collegian stopped wild pitch with
his bare hand, and came within an ace
of putting his thumb out of commission.
However, after a number of the players
had pulled and jerked the thumb around
10 all points of the compass, Henry con-
tinued his work behind the bat
If Kid Elberfeld has to stay out Of
the game, he will be sent on a scouting
trip through TIE Michigan State o. & P.
and Three-Eye leagues. Several players
have beer tipped off to McAleer, and Ell
berfeld may he called upon to use his
experience in passing judgment upon
them.

DETROIT, Mich, May Eff band
Of bloodthirsty yeggs entered your
house, wouldn't you beat them
off? II they tried to steal your treas
ures, wouldn't you take them up and
throw them down and jump on them2
Yes; well, that's just what the Nap
landers did to Tom Hughes, their old
time bugaboo, and his trusty bench
men. They took them up and threw
them down and jumped on them.
The score was to 1 in the eighth
chapter of the continued story now be-
ing written by the Nationals, entitled
How We Lose"
The Maps spreadeagled Tom Hughes,
taking savage delight in their work.
Everybody but Neal Ball took a wallop
at him as he stood there in the box.
Ted Easterly biffed him thrice. each biff
a healthy one, too. 1t seemed a shame
to desecrate the Sabbath in such fash
ion, but those Washington yeggs Just
had to be repulsed-and they were. too.

strike on Olson, and then Schaefer lost
the high throw from the backstop, let
ting Graney over.
Doc Gessler was awake, though, and
nailed Olson at third with a pretty
dropper to Elberfeld.
Jackson singled to right and took third
on Easterly's clean bingle to center.
Three Runs Scored.
stovaH raised a sacrifice fly to Leli-
welt, scoring Jackson, and Easterly
tailed on Birmingham's solid drive to
center. Three runs. Birmingham
thought he might cop an extra sack
during the fun, but Hughes grabbed
Milan's return, and Mcbride hung the
pill under Joe's right ear.

Count three more in the seventh, when
they assaulted Hughes with malice afore

on Jackson's second single to right.
Easterly's single to center scored Olson,
and a moment after, Tom Hughes

quick shoot to Mcbride. StovaH prompt

Sid Smith slapped a single to left, scor-
ing Birmingham. That was enough.
Nationals One Run.
The Nationals were always in the
game, remember, always blowing. around
on those cushions, but never really get
ting anywhere. Germany Schaefer drove
a single to left in the fourth, and beat
all records reaching third when Graney
let the bounding ball escape his clutches.
The comedian came across as Olson
was throwing out EIberfeld. That was
the one run for the McAleerites.
Twice 1t seemed almost certain that
the Nationals would score again, but
circus stops killed them as they stood.
In the sixth, with one down, Lelivelt
singled to center, and EIberfeld dittoed
to left. Gessler swung three times with
the usual humorous result. Mcbride
but Joe Birmingham grabbed that
sphere in one paw and tagged Lelivelt
as he reached third.
With one gone in the seventh, Henry
drew . pass, and Hughes %,,. dashed a
looked like run for the Taft town bril-
gade. The little star stepped into the
ball, and drove it on a line between
ia1nda and olson-that is, it
head shortstop didn't know enough to
let it alone. He stuck out his bare hand,
seized the pill, and It was easy work
doubling up Henry, who had reached
third.

ANOTHER AUTO PARTY
ARRIVES in LAS VEGAS
TOURISTS WILL REMAiN HERE A
WEEK LOOKING AT THE
MOUNTAIN SCENERY.

A. A. Stanton, driving a Mitchell
40" and Mr.. and Mrs. N. W. Cooper
in Mitchell '60," arrived in Las We
gas Saturday night after three days
trip from Denver, their home. The
party is on its way to the coast, trav-
cling for the pleasure of motoring
and to see the country and will spend
month in New Mexico before cross
ing the Arizona line OF this time
about week will be spent in Las We
gas, making slide trips to the mesa
and the mountains. Despite the fact
that the roads between here and Ra-
ton were in bad condition the trip
from Denver was made in good time
the record being, in running time, two
days, while the party was on the road
but three days.
Coming from Trinidad to Las Vegas
the Mitchells ran ahead of the Ray
mond-Whitcomb auto train but
stopped over in Springer instead of
travelling half of the night as the New
York tourists did Friday. Mrs. Cooper
is writing history of the trip giving
comments on the roads, hotels, and
garages and will send it to the Motor
Age and publish it in the book of the
Denver Motor club of which MIR.
Cooper is a prominent member. De
spite the muddy roads Mr.. and Mrs.
Cooper say the trip has been an en-
joyable one and with the exception OF
little incident at Wagon Mound,
has been without an unpleasant fea-
ture. At this place during the stop
for dinner Saturday some one stole
fine automobile coat and another
member of the party iost two fine re
volbers, in the same mysterious man
ner. The police at Wagon Mound, the
tourists say, didn't worry their heads
about the matter. The other loser of
the Far East to the Pacific coast
party, stopped over in Wagon Mound
and will hang around until something
| is done. Aside from this incident Mr..
Cooper and his party have nothing but
praise for the new state and are
strong believers in the future of this
country. Being members of the Dem
yer Touring club they are boosters for
good roads in the southwest. Yester-
days sunshine dried up the roads to
great extent. and with good weather
this week the party should leave this
vicinity convinced that San Miguel
has good roads. During the stop in
Las Vegas the tourists are housing
their cars in the Whalen garage. a
place that tourists put down in their
memorandum of the trip as one of the
best on the route. and they are stop
ping at the Casteneda hotel.

The constitution of New Mexico is

And the United States is not only

DEMOCRATS UP AGAINST 1T

Santa Fe, N. M, Nov. 6.-How hard
the democrats are up for votes was
shown today when last minute rumors
were started in an effort to influence
few votes here and there. A report
which was Systematically circulated
and which caused intense Indignation
among the socialists was that DIR. T.
C. Ribera, socialist candidate for gov
ernor, had resigned and had issued
a statement asking all socialists to
vote for Mcdonald. DR.. Ribera today
Indignantly denied the story and de-
clared that he would not withdraw but
that he was in the race to stay and
that he wanted to poll the biggest So
cialist vote ever polled in New Mex
ico.
At democratic headquarters it is re-
ported today that McDonalds chances
have taken an awful slump. 1t is re-
ported that the democratic bosses who
were figuring on many votes, now say
privately that he will not get over
1000 or 1900 majority. An awful
come-down from their estimates of
only a few days ago. Advices from
Bernalillo county today are that Bur
sum will carry the county by between
500 and GOO votes.
