NATIONALS ARRIVE;
ALL FEELING FINE
Griff's Band Disgruntled Because
Weather Kept Them from
Third Victory.

The Nationals returned from New
York last night, arriving at Union Sta
tion at S:4 O'Clock, where a big throng
Of Washington fans awaited to bid them
welcome.
Manager Grifith was the hs4piest one
in the bunch. He was asked: 1t must
games from The Highlanders, didn't it?''
and he replied with a smile: you
know 1t did"
The Nationals boss said he was salts
fed with the showing made thus far
by his charges, and added that every
man was in good shape physically.
Clyde Milan, the speedy little outfielder,
when asked how he felt about the shift
in the batting order, whereby his place
as lead on man was usurped by Dan
Moeller;; replied that he was perfectly
satisfied, and believed he would be of
more value to the club batting third
Notwithstanding the favorable predic-
tions Of the weather man rain fell in
New York yesterday and Grihith's band
missed the chance Of cleaning up the
series, which would have been some
record.
The Yankees are shot to pieces, and
with Dixie Walker in good form there
"OulQ nave Decn nUlnluB 10 lL.
The members Of the Nationals were
especially anxious to mix IT up for the
third round and sat around the hotel in
the morning casting frequent gliins at
the falling ooze. However, about noon
Grif1th herded the bunch together for
the return by the Congressional Limited.
A healthier lot of athletes never gath
cred for the opening game at home, as
the two days Of ideal baseball weather
in Gothamville enabled every one to round
up in great shape.
Manhattan scribes are getting all work.
ed up in showering praise on Foster, and
they can't seem to say enough good things
about him. His work around the third
sack was marvellous, and talk about op-
portuue hitting! The next time the kid
plays at Farrelrs park it is safe TO pre-
dict that no one will take him for the
bat boy, as happened two years ago
when he was trying for a position with
the Yankees.
When Foster and knight. the quondam
Highlapders, broke up Tuesdays game It
was too much for the fans. He amt
done right by our sister Nell" came
from the bleachers.
Five hits in two days for Milan; did
you get 'em7
schaefer is sure popular with the New
York fans, and his antics were the one
source OF Joy to the saddened multitudes.
His bunny-hug and jelly-wobble dance on
second with Nationals resting at the
other two stations in Tuesdays bout was
enough to upset any twirler. not to speak
OF a busher like Mcconnell.
Manager Wolverton, Of the Highlanders,
at least has a precedent that he can
follow. In 1910 he started with Oakland.
Of the Pacific Coast circuit. when the
team was a bad last. and the game on
the Afternoon of the Fourth Of July put
the nine in first place.

Cleveland Players Not Allowed TO
Get Familiar with Opponents.
Cleveland. Ohio. April 1.-THE Maps
won't be in the hand-shal<ing league this
season.
Manager Davis is dead agin the friend
ship stun on the ball field.
The fans don't like TO see rival players
shake hands on the field. II doesn't look
like real rivalry when they do.
Davis goes further. He has ordered the
Maps not to mingle with the Opposing
team in batting and fielding practica
He has ordered the Maps TO get on the
field when the bell rings for the other
teams practice session before the game,
and II the other team don't get on the
field promptly they'n hear from the Nap
boss.
1T doesn't look as though q ball game
would be a real battle when the players
shake hands and visit back and forth be-
fore the bell rings" said Davis. Friend
ship ceases at certain point In baseball,
and the earlier the better. Most ball
players know no friends while they are
on the field, and none should"

Ump Sheridan Puts Over
Good One on Blackburne

Russell Blackburne fell a vic
tim to an injury about the time

having trouble with his eyes.

Blackburne's physician had ad-
vised an operation on his knee.
While unable to play. Black

and a number Of close decisions
had gone against the Sox on the
paths early in the game. Black
bourne. when Sheridan gave an
unusually close decision against
the team, yelled: That specialist
made a mistake, Jack, when he
looked over you. He should have
pronounced you stone blind"
Sheridan, quick as a Hash. re-
torted: Yes. and II that surgeon.

back to the bench as fast as his
lame knee would let him.
