GAME WITH GOOD EXERCISE

Counts for Fifth.

For all those children who are fond
of little exercise no better game
than this can be chosen. When the
chairs are placed in order round the
room, the first player commences by
saying: My master bids you do as
do" at the same time working away
with the right hand as II hammering
at his knees. The second player then
asks: What does he bid me do?'
The second player. working in the
same manner, must turn to his left
handed neighbor and carry on the
same conversation, and so on until
every one is working away with the
right hand.
The second time of going round the
order is to work with two, then both
hands must work: then with three,
when both hands and one leg must
work: then with four. when both
hands and both legs must work; last

I smiles and Joy on the Washington bench

| was brought into play, and Bob Groom
was tenderly lifted from the box while
Willing Worker" Walter Johnson
was sent to the rescue. Thursday s
conquerors of the Browns passed Ste
phens and then shot them across so
easiest sort of chance to end the
agony.
The day proved that Jim McAleer is
an advocate Of the recall, and II was
in following that principal that he sue
ceeded in handing out the third dose.
Dixie Walker started, but before the
first inning was over 1t vas evident he
was not going to be very effective. So
Bob Groom was substituted. Up to that
ne ear-fatal tenth the native son went
along in grand shape, allowing but one
run. which would not have happened
but for an error by Mcbride.
Powell's Usual Pitching.
Jack Powell, who was a veteran when
fist bound was out, pitched his usual
game, and had it not been for the un-
usual batting activity of his teammates
he would have been beaten earlier.
Washington made two in the first
With Milan out, Schaefer singled, and
Walker poked a safety to Austin, who
threw past Gust, enabling Scl.aefe- to
score. while the hitter went to second.
Gessler walked, and on McBrides sky
scraper Walker went TO third, and
when Gessler started for second Clarke
threw down. Before the ball had been
returned Walker had passed the rubber
The Browns overcame this lead in
their half. Mclean walked. Austin sac
rificed, and Schweitzer drew PASS.
When Laporte singled Mclean scored,
and Schweitzer drew up az third. 4
sacrifice fly by Hogan tied the score,
and after Clarke had 1oIblcd Laporte
scored on the return throw. With these
three runs to st. Louis credit McAleel
put Groom in, which stopped the
Browns.
Wa ashington evened up in the third
when Scheefer singled, stole second, and
reached third on Clarke's overthrow,
scoring on Walkers single to the infield.
In the fifth Mcbride booted Austins
tounder Austin went to second on the
next out and was driven home by La
portes bingle.
The seventh once more saw the score
tie Mcbride beat out a bounder to
Austin and sauntered to second on the
third basemaE' poor heave. The field
captain made the third station on Con-
roy's sa:ritlce and cantered home on
Cunningham's sharp smash to center.
The tie continued until the tenth, when
the real doings came.

Tho rumble was first started at st.

Tohasco Kid from the lineup. and when
the team reached here the wise ones in
the city were trying TO dope out the club
with which Elbcrfeld would probably
land should he leave Washington.
This is the second time this talk has
been heard, but there is absolutely moth

strained one of his hips during our stay
at home. and we sirIply had to keep him
olt. He was anxious enough to con-
tinue. but the surgeon advised against
it and have kept Elberfeld on the
hench. During his rest, Bill Cunning

BOB THAYER'S SPORTING GOSSIP
>"EVERY KNOCK IS A BOOST

7 just begun to play the kind of ball ex,
pected last spring. At that time the
| pitchers were such a handicap to a
ight-hitting outfit that victories were
| out of the question. McAleer is the
hardest loser in Washington, though
few know IL, and it scared him to the
soul to have the team he counted upon
to stay around the head Of the second
division drop with a thud to the second
last rung of the ladder. With things
as bright as they are now, perhaps he'll
admit that Washington is a pretty good
| sort of town, after all. Certainly the
| fans are the greatest rooters in the
American Legue. win or lose.
What'll you bet that "Gabby" Street
! and "Wid" Conroy didn't lead the race
away from that bucking motor car in
St. Looey?
The acquisition of Cy Young by the
Boston Nationals must be a mere ap-
peal to sentiment in favor Of the gate.
Young went to Boston at the opening
of the American League and remained
! there through the heyday of his glory.
| Only when he threatened to go back
was he traded and many fans in
Beantown still -growI against John 1.
Taylor when the Young trade is men
toned. They still believe that he has
lot of stuff. His presence On the
Rustlers will give those supporters Of
his a chance to pay their good money
to see him in action once more But
what an "Old Mans Home" those
Rustlers are becoming! They have
Fred Tenney. Harry Steinfeldt,
Johnny King. AL Bridwell Mike Don
lin. and now Cy Young. They must
need a lot of sun up there to get into
action. A foggy day would rust their
joints and prevent their moving
around without making a noise like an
old gate swinging in the wind.
Ping Bodie says he's glad there's
only one George Mullin. There's a
reason.
Despite the official denials that the
lively ball has been canned in the
Ameri9.n League, together with the
assert5ns of the Nationals pitchers
and iASelders that there is no differ
ence, again comes the story that it
has disappeared. There isn't a bit
of difference that can see," said Bob
Groom on August IL. THE ball we
have is the lively ball, all right"
George Mcbride and "Wid" Conroy
likewise agreed that they failed to
notice any difference in the ball since
the opening of the season. AS a mat
ter of fact, both said that continuous
playing with the new ball was max
ing them accustomed to its bounds
and hops, and, more on that account
than anv other, were they successful
in fielding it. How any one can see
the ball skip over McBride's head or
hop past Csnroy and forget that 1t is
lively Is beyond Imagination.
