Nothing that could have happened the
Athletics. barring. perhaps. an injury to
Baker, will prove as severe a setback to
their chances for the penant as the
announcement that Danny Murphy will
not be able to play again this year.
None Of Macks players have been Of
more value to the team than this same
Murphy. His wonderful prowess as a
hitter has helped the Athletics over many
an obstacle and his absence greatly re-
duces that team 8 offensive strength.
While there was never anything bril-
liant or sensa tional about Murphy's work,
ne was consistent performer and one of
the most dangerous hitters in the league.
With him out of the lineup Macks out
field is weak. Oldring is the only man
on 1t who is a good hitter. Lord and
Strunk are only fair with the bat, and
this weakness is sure to show itself be-
fore the season Is over.
Surprise is being expressed that the Ma
ionals, who are nowhere near leading In
hitting or fielding, should be second In
the pennant race. AS hitting aggre-
cation the Nationals are next to last
They do not figure high either as long-hit
makers. and do not shine as a fielding
team SO far as records go, yet it is a
winning combination. Perhaps the rea-
son for this condition must be attributed
to high-grade pitching. Griff1th's twirlers
have held opposing team down to such an
extent that it has not required much slug
ging on part OF their teammates to get
enough runs to win. The teams base
work, too. has been of the best. while its
defensive play is of the best. Neither
should it be overlooked that while the
team is seventh in club batting it is bu,
twenty-five points behind the leaders
and while it ranks fifth in fielding it is
but ten points behind Boston. which
leads. The margin which teams which
lead it have in both departments is blu,
small, so small, in fact, that a few games
in which the hitting would be particular
ly effective would bring the Nationals uE
several notches.
On the whole, no team in the League
has played better ball than Washington
1t has shown up poorly only against one
rival the Athletics. and luck has had
much to do with its failure against the
champions.
This thing of pitching out. or wasting
balls. for the purpose of breaking uI
the hit and run play is nothing more
than game Of guess. The team at ba
has just as good chance to outguess

When Griffith purchased Chick Gandil
he made his ball team. From an aggre-
CATION which had only remote chance
to finish in the first division, the add
ton Of this one player changed 1t to

sense Of the word. II he has a weak
ness. it has not been displayed during

of him, and. in fact. he seems to go bet

To him belongs the credit for both VIC
tories yesterday. In the first game, after
he had walked in the eleventh inning he
lowed him to score and win the game
Morgan had sacrificed, thus pulling Tur-
ner far into the inf1eld. Gandil seeing this.
never stopped at second, but went right
on to third, drawing a, poor throw there
which allowed him to score. It was an
other indication that Gandil Is quick to
take advantage of openings In the sec
ond game it was his single to center
which scored Milan with the run which
eventually proved the winner.
There is no other first baseman in the
American League who compares with
Gandil.
1t is not unlikely that Bob Groom will
pitch against the Maps today. Groom
wanted to work yesterday, but Manager
Griffith thought it best to allow his in

to have the defensive team at a disad-
vantage. About the only time thai Grif-
nth has his catchers signal for a pitch

tends to make play at one Of the bags

wasting the ball for the purpose Of pre-
venting stealing or breaking up the hit
and run is seldom resorted to, and as q
result the pitchers Of the local team are
not often handicapped by being forced
to keep the ball away from the plate
Charley Streets fault when here was
that he thought more Of his reputation
as preyenter of steals than he did Of
the pail game. and the result was that
many game was lost because he was
alwayh trying to protect himself With
competent pitcher working he stands
just as good chance to fool the batter
with the hit-and-run play on as at any
other time, but he is placed in q pre-
carious position ii he purposely keeps
the ball away from the plate and gets
himself into a position where he must
eventually lay it over thus increasfn9
the batter's chances for hitting it hard.
There is a peculiar n,ix-up in the Amer
lean Association. Charley Carr, manager
OF the Kansas City team has notified
President Chivington Of that league that
sive language toward him. and he gives
warning that unless Hayes is punished
he will take the matter into his own

While there has been nothing sensa-
tional about the work of Marty O'Toole
since he joined Pittsburgh and because
of the reputation he had. his pitching
has. perhaps, not come up to expecta-
tons, yet he is proving himself valu-
able addition to the Pirates pitching
staff, having become consistent win

|. Further evidence that Grifi1th's pitchins
staff is better fortified at the present time
than any other in the league was given
yesterday when Barney Petty demonstra-
ted his ability to go the route Johnson S
performance, while brilliant IN spots, was
not quite up to his usual standard, yet
it was good enough to bring home a vic
tory.
It is the fact that the Nationals are as
sured Of good pitching that gives them a
chance to continue on their present win
ming streak, and incidentally gives them
a splendid chance to land at the top Of
the heap.
Petty and Vaughn, the two latest addi-
tons to the pitching staff are both max
ing good. Groom and Hughes never
pitched better ball than they have this
season. and OF course Johnson always
holds up his end In addition. Griffith has

a solution made by dissolving two
tablespoonfuls OF lead acetate In a
quart of water.
Leg wounds in horses are a rather
serious matter, since they are likely to
leave a blemish which will lower the
value. 1t is important in treating them
TO secure a healing which will be SO
perfect that no one will suspect that
"a wound has ever been there. For such
wounds one veterinarian suggests the
following: Clean the wound with a
wash composed Of one tablespoonful
Of acetate OF lead, one tablespoonful
Of sulphate Of zinc, four tablespoon
fuls OF tincture Of arnica. and one
quart of water. This wash should be
used every hour or so the first day
and three or four times daily thereaft-
er. The object is to keep the wound
while healing, lower than the surface
OF the skin. If it pushes up. bichlor.
ide OF mercury, as much as can be put
on the surface OF dime. should be
placed on the sore. 1t is said that leg
wounds thus treated will heal over
leaving no blemish.

WHEN IS A EVE DOING WELL7
General sprightlIness and Behavior Of
Animal Are Good indication Of
General Condition.

1t sometimes puzzles the sheep grow
er, especially the beginner, to know
when his ewes are doing well. Many
a man is so anxious that they do we'll
that he overdoes the matter while Of
course, there are those whose ewes
do not do well enough
1t is impossible to gauge a ewes
well being by the number OF pounds
she Is gaining, yet this is one of the
first indices Of her condition and the
one most commonly adopted by sheep
growers. In general a eve ought to
be gaining about six pounds a month.
II she was uncommonly thin to begin
with she should be gaining even more,
while If she was fat, she ought to be
gaining pound or two less.
To be in good condition eve ought
also to be enjoying an easy and thor
ough digestion and an active circula-
ton Of blood. These things depend in
part on the amount Of exercise given
her also A pregnant eve ought to be
given some succulent food which helps
to keep her digestion in good order
and her feed should contain a goodly
portion Of the protein elements which
are necessary in tissue building and
in the growth Of the foetus. She ought
to have plenty Of exercise every day
as this keeps the muscles of her di-
gestive apparatus in good play and
her circulation active.
eve is doing well when she ia
making a fair steady gain, and when
all her organs are functioning proper
ly. and when her appetite seems keen
Her general sprightliness and behav
Tor are a good indication of her feel
ings. A eve that is dull and dumpist
is usually ailing in some way. Often
times it is only too much feed and toe
little exercise that is accountable fol
this condition, however.
