Not only arc the people Of Washington
interested in the work Of the team. but
surrounding cities have come to esteem
the Nationals as their own representa-

ton from a correspondent there states
that almost the whole town would appear
at the park to show their interest in the
Nationals.
Tuesday the Nationals meet the world s
champions in series OF games. The con-
fidence that the team has inspired in the
fans has caused them to believe that it
is unbeatable. and the great crowd that
wends it's way to the ball park to watch
the opening Of the series will go there
