The fight for places on the Inn

tegral part Of the new movement.

ance, foreign relations, judiciary and
interstate commerce-and a similar
distribution on the five next impor-

~ TIE PRESS BOX :

That eighth inning was a nightmare
TO one Tom Hughes. We had the bat
tie all sewed up. but those lads from
the city of Churches thought other
wise.
Daubers clout for a circuit trot, a
couple OF singles, and a brace OF neat
little misplays allowed the Superbas to
tally four times, putting them one to
the good.
Jack Flynn was on hand in the clout-
ing line, connecting for two nice lit
tie three-sackers.
Clyde Milan failed to get hit, the
speedy outfielder going to the bat FIVE
times and falling to register. But Zeb
says he is saving them for tomorrow
in Philly.
Bob Groom was touched up in the
fifth, when a pair OF doubles and<a sin
gle netted the Brooklynites two runs.
We certainly hit the pill in the third
frame, three singles and a triple giving
up five runs. An error was thrown in
for good measure.
Those Nationals sure made a neat
appearance in the new uniforms.
Boss Grin warmed up With Alva WILL
Jams before the game-but he did not
