ST. LOUIS. May 1.-THE white
wash market in st. Louis is run
ming low since the Nationals ar
rived, for a man named Wallace has
been investing in it heavily. Yesterday
he used lot on a bunch of lads known
as the Army of the Potomac. Yep, those
Nationals were drawn and quartered
and exposed to the breezes by a to
| score. mainly because they could not
smite the pill as handed up to them by
Joe Lake, while the Brownies were
| swarming around and sticking holes in
the pride of our harem. Dolly Gray.
After the battle Gray looked like a LOT
of doughnuts. The Nationals score
was the same round nothing.
There was not anything to that game.
The Brownies hit the harem beauty on
the head with their war clubs. They
dug holes in her. They smashed her
face and came near kicking her out of
the lot in the sixth inning when three
fine taIlies rolled over the sward for
Jeems McAleer to ponder over.
The first agonizing tally was discover
ed in the third. Lake biffed a single to
third, really truly bunt that was per-
lection itself Shottens wallop to the
second, but Shotten shot on to second for
a pilfer while Jimmy Austin was punc-
turing the atmosphere. Molly Mclean
carefully pelted the pellet to right field
for one large single and Shotten trick
led across the dish.
Excitement in Sixth.
But the real fireworks came in the
sixth when that whole fiendish mob of
Brownies assaulted Dolly Gray with in
tent to rob, and succeeded, too. Rub
ber Shirt Bill Cunningham just stopped
Hogan's hit, that's all, but he tried to
get him at first. What happended? :?
While Somerlot chased the yellow heave
Hogan marched on another station.
Gray then fell over Stephens pretty
bunt, Hogan going along another para
sang.
Manager wallace laced the leather to
right, scoring Hogan, and he and
Stephens went, along one more when
Myers bunted to Gray and perished at
the first water hole. Joe Lake decided
that a crown was coming to him SO
he did something to deserve it. He
promptly picked the pill TO center. send
ing stephens and Wallace across the
scoring dish. He died at second later,
trying to collar another, button, but
just think. those three runs were over.
No, it wasn't a very glorious after
noon for the Army Of the Potomac
Their commfssary train got mired in the
roads. Their signal department got
mixed a couple of times, too. Their avj-
alton corps fell into the enemies camp
and they were made prisoners of war.
Their sharpshooters lost their range
finders and their ammunition got wet in
the heavy thunderstorm that burst over
their heads.
Once Cunningham, after coaxing
free transportation, reached second, but
that was his limit. He and Dolly Gray
were the only gentlemen from the Ma
tion's Capital who even glimpsed that
hassock. Milan coughed up a single in
the third, but died at second on
wicked attempt to commit larceny. Nc
Bride got a bingle in the second and
stood around while The next two fell be-
fore the rapid-fire guns OF the LIQUID
hurler. Gray poled a hit to center in
the sixth and reached second while FL
berfeld was giving up the ghost. but
that was his limit of progress.
And luck? Say, that tall, lanky tooth
drive of Doc Gessler's that was marked
three sacks He made 1t look easy, too.
Wallace made a marvellous stop, stum-
bled, fooled around, and even then toss
ed out Kid Elberfeid, by half an eve
winker. Bert Shotten and Molly Mclean
made captures in the garden that earn
big money for fellows like Ty Cobb and
Iris Speaker. And they did 1t off-hand,
so to speak, as it were. 1t seemed like
little afternoon exercise for them,
that's all.
Every member Of the Nationals was
done to a crisp and trimmed up with
