NOTES OF THE GAME

To-day's victory makes nine straight
for the Nationals. The boys are OF for
Detroit tonight. and declare that they
will not be satisfied with anything less
than clean sweep over Jennings Tigers.
The young Nationals are as full of con-
tidence as is a sailor Of lies.
1t will be Tom Hughes. the veteran,
or possibly Joe Engel. against the Tigers
in the opening game tomorrow.
Kid shanks was robbed Of a hit in the
fifth. when Weaver speared a hard hit
grounder near second base, pulling down
the ball with his gloved hand.
Grih's fighting youngsters have already
buried two old hoodoos this season, beat
ing Jack Quinn. of New York. twice, and
taking Doc Whites measure the first
time the Dentist pitched against them.
Danny MoeIler batted right handed
against White to-day and came across
with two nice safe drives.
Chicago scrfbes no longer say that
Chick Gandn cannot hit. The big fellow
would look pretty swell in a White Sox
uniform right now, they think.
Boss Grin is as happy as a schoolboy.
and is counting on at least breaking
even the rest OF the trip.
Walter Johnson was never in better
form. His speed was terrific, and in
the ninth inning he had the White Sox
up a tree.
Should Joe Engel work to-day, Boss
Grin VIII send Alva Williams in to
catch --

RUTLAND ROADS PETITION
Circulated in Burlington and is Sign
ed by Many Business Men

One move on the checkerboard in
the big game OF railroad deals in
New England is being made here
when d petition, circulated by the
Rutland railroad company fayoring
the granting of leave by the public
service commission of the second dis
trict of New York state to the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail
road to purchase from the New York
Central railroad the latter company's
interest in the Rutland railroad was
circulated and quite generally signed
by business men.
The petition was not made public
but was circulated among the bust
ness men of the town After the re
quired number OF signatures were Sc
cured the petition was returned
and the nature of the petition was
not generally known until late today
when considerable opposition devel-
oped against the proposed purchase.
A similar petition, it is understood
was sent to Burlington by W. B. c.
! Stickney. attorney for the New York,
New Haven and Hartford and Edwin
F. Lawrence, attorney for the Rut-
land railroad company. The docu-
ment was received by X. E. Brown
and was circulated among the bust
