Last Night.
DAMP OUTFIELD I
AGGRAVATED TROUBLE
National Players Are Suffering
Generally From Cold Weather
/ In Detroit.
By SENATOR"

DETROIT, Mich. Aug. 3.-For a while
last night Dan Moeller, the Nationals
star right fielder and leading run get
ter, was threatened by an attack of
appendicitis. and Manager Griffith
rushed a physician to his room. After
an hour or so the pain decreased under
the physician's treatment, and he was
able to obtain some sleep. Moeller had
all the symptoms Of appendicitis, and
Manager Griffith was much worried.
However, today the youngster reported
himself as much improved. and asked
to be allowed to play against the Tigers
He may be compelled to rest for a day
though, lest he catch more cold. The
physician called again this morning and
said that 'Moeller would be all right
unless he catches more cold, and that
he must guard against this contingency
The whole team is suffering from the
bitter cold weather experienced here.
Moeller's trouble was aggravated by the
poor conditions of the outfield yester-
day. He had to stand in four inches Of
water throughout the game in search
ing cold breeze right off the lakes. Then
too, during half the game smart show
ers fell upon the players.
II the Nationals escape serious injury
to their pennant prospects from the cold
weather. they will be lucky. Gandill and
Williams spent the night in a turkish
bath. Gandirs back is stiff and lame,
thus explaining much Of his recent light
hitting. Williams has a sore arm from
throwing in cold wind.
Eddie Foster Is wearing a plas aster on
his throwing wing and 1t is all he can
do to get the ball across the diamond.
Eddie Ainsmith's wild pegging is laid
to his sore arm. Milan's cold Is SO
severe that he can hardly see out of
Manager Griffith is one of the sickest
men In the squad. He turned in early
last night after being unable to eat
MS supper. He has a severe cold,

Griffith today: "If we don't I'm afraid
some Of the boys will have to lay off
or three of our best players out of the
cooked. We have chance now for
that flag. but we won't have a look
in II Moeller, Gandill. and Foster have
to stay out Of the game"
Schaefer Criticised.
For the first time thle season the an
tics OF Schaefer have drawn adverse
criticism and 1t has come here In De-
trolt where he has always been a prime
favorite. A writer in an afternoon pa
per scored both Schaefer and Altrock
to the length Of a column last night,
claiming they are burlesquins the game
and making 1t too much of a circus
Manager Griffith is considerably
wrought UP over the attack on his fu.i-
makers. Schaefer and Altrock He says
that many games would be dead affairs
but for his comedians and that the fans
really ell 10Y their performances on the
tnes Schaefer and Altrock have little
to say concerning the attack, neither
caring to consider 1t seriously.
The Nationals leave tonight for Ch'-

should arrive tomorrow morning in

"Our Athletes Best"
Says J. E. Sullivan

QUEENSTOWN, Aug. 3.-Before
James e. Sullivan boarded the Celtic
here yesterday. he said he was greatly
pleased with the results at Stockholm
and looked forward to greater success at
Berlin. He and his team were greatly
pleased with the dispatch received from
President Taft.
He declared It would further stimulate
athletics. as It was the first time ath-
Iletes representing any country abroad
had been so honored. Mr.. Sullivan ad-
at Stockholm, but thought that the
Americans were greater, and until the
old countries followed training with sys-
tematic determination, taking a boy at
fourteen and nursing him along, the
New World athletes would continue to
lead, as nothing was left to chance.

now and then. 1t was baseball played
in football weather.
Walter Gets Hit.
Willett went through the first two
frames without sign of trouble. sending
the Climbers to the bench in one-two-
three order. There were two down in
the third when Walter johnson bumped
steaming single to left. This un-
expected drive bothered Willett, and
Moeller. on a hit-and-run, smashed one
to right. Johnson reaching third easily.
Foster banged one almost past Bush.
scoring Johnson. However. Moeller fell
as he passed second and was retired,
after doing a little war dance along
the line.
Not until the sixth did the Climbers
again sweeten their batting averages
at the expense OF Willett. Moeller
opened with a singing single to center,
rushing to third when Foster slapped
one into right. Milan followed with a
resounding thwack TO center for q cor
ner, scoring Moeller. Gandil waved for
the second time, but Ray Morgan drew
a free ticket, crowding the sacks and
setting Nick Altrock into a fit at third
base. Foster raced across the plate
while Deal was getting Ainsmith at
first.
The ninth came before the Climbers

registered their fourth and final run
OF the combat. Morgan opened with a
safe drive through Deal. A passed ball
advanced him a peg. While Bush was
disposing of Ainsmith he galloped to
third. Mcbride bounced one OF Willett's
glove that Bush seized and threw to
first in time to catch the flying short
stop, but Morgan was over the plate at
the same time. Walker closed the in
ming with a long fly to Witt.
Not till the seventh did the Tigers
have a chance at making a run, and
they didn't get one even then. Louden
crashed a single to left for a beginner
Moriarty following with one to mid
field. johnson grabbed Deals roller and
got Louden at third. Ainsmith threw
out Stanage, both runners moving up,
and the fans bowling Tor a run. Wil-
lett popped to Gandil. and 1t was all over.
In the eighth Johnson famed the first
three men up. Crawford hitting for
Bashang and doing no better than the
youngster from the Blue Grass League.
The Tigers lost all their life and spirit
after that exhibition of twirling. and
submitted tamely in the ninth.

BY Making Three
Hits.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 3.-Walter
johnson lived UP to his reputation
when he went against the Bengal Tigers
yesterday, shutting them out to 0, with
evident ease. At no time was the King
of Fingers in danger OF losing his crown

Tiger outfit to swing their fails idly.
Only Ty Cobb was able TO do much with

Climbers peerless hurler.
Cobb was supreme at the bat. In the
very first frame he crashed a clean
single to left. fast fielding by Red
Walker preventing his going to second.
In the fourth he collided with another
drive to left. and was tossed out by Ain
smith, trying to purloin second. In the
sixth he dropped bunt in front Of the
way to third, when the young backstop
flung wildly into right field. However,
with all his spectacular bingling, Cobb
was wholly unable to shove a tally over
Johnson's mastery over the other Tigers
was convincingly strong. They couldn't
do a thing.
Edgar Willett was the victim chosen
to face Johnson in the struggle for the
victory. He pitched good ball, but
whenever a hit was needed, some one
of the Climbers managed to connect
with it. Gandil alone was at the mercy
OF the raise-ball twirler, tanning three
times in four trips to the plate.

their absence, though Red" Walker
