revelation proudly circulated in the press
that the fatherland now possesses a total
Of 137. 1913 foot BALL players, who are FORM

GAME TODAY.
Park VS.. Seaton.
Herald lost a hard fought game to the
fast-going Regents yesterday in the
Northern Association. the final score
being 8 to T.
The Newspaper lads outhit the Regents,
but also out-errored them, and that ac-
counts for their defeat. Bell, on first
and Whitemarsh starred in the misplay
line.
Jack O'Brien, the mound for the
losers, pitched good ball. allowing but
eight hits. but the errors of his team
mates proved too big handicap.

bingles. the lads behind him flelded great

YESTERDAYS GAME:
Southern. D; Adams Express. s.
GAME TO-DAY:
Station VS.. Car Department.

OIddOu Vs. LAR As0poi tuicut.
Southern only allowed the Adams Elk
press aggregation to stay in first place a
day. for it trimmed it yesterday In
a sensational game and dragged II
down into second place. All the pitchers
seemed to have an or day. Southern
started with Strobel. but he gave way
after the fourth inning to Hogbrunner
who finished up In good style. Harvey
began for the Adams team, but q fusiliade
of bingles drove him away in the fifth
round and Bryant finished up.
The fifth spasm was the big one for the
Southernites. Strobel, first up in this in.
ming, was safe on Barron's miscue. Ollie
was hit and Naughton walked. Crymes
at this juncture inserted a pretty bingle
on an error and P1atz blasted one to left
center for three bases. cleaning the sacks.
Here Bryan appeared. but Melvin well
coined him with safe drive. Bischoff
famed, and on Miller's safe one Melvin
was thrown out on third. Strobel got on,
but all were left when Ollie famed.
Seven juicy runs.
The game was slow throughout, the
pitchers taking so much time to deliver
the ball. This victory for Southern puts
it much nearer the leaders and Mana
ger Holbrunner expects great things OF
his team from now on. Miller should be
great help to the team, and will be
played at second base.

Ninth, and Is fast becoming one Of the
best little catchers In the city.
The game last Friday. which Ninth

YESTERDAYS GAME.
War, 5; Commerce and Labor, 3.
War strengthened its hold on fourth
place in the Departmental League yes
terday by sending the Commerce and
Labor team to defeat. 5 to 3. 1t was a
fairly contested game. but even with men
on bases neither side could do much
scoring.
For the winners, Watson's work around
the keystone sack, while not marvellous,
was commendable in every respect.
Sigourney, center gardener for War De-
partment, made couple Of catches after
sharp runs that can be commended. He
is one of the few really good outfielders
In the league.
For the losers, Barkars put up his usual
good game both in field and at bat. His
base running is worthy of note.

One of the most notable incidents in
the history of the Forest Citys was a
victory they achieved over the famous
Nationals of Washington. ID. G. in 1867.
The personnel of the club was almost
the same as in the accompanying photo
graph.
The Nationals were composed largely OF
government clerks. They won so many
games at home that tour of the coast
was arranged at q cost OF 5000. IL may
be worthy of mention. In contrast to the
gate receipts of today. that the Ma
tionals paid all their own expenses en-
route and refused TO share in the gate
money of cities which they visited.
These Nationals had unbroken rec
ord of victories by large scores. one as
high as 113 to %, and one of g to II In
six innings. when a match was arranged
with the Rockford club to be played at
Chicago July f.
Appended is an account OF that game
from the memoranda of Henry Chad
wick. known as the father OF base
ball.
"a base ball tourney had been held at
Chicago July 4. 1887, in which the Elk
celsiors of that city and the Forest City
club of Rockford had been the leading
contestants. The former had defeated
the Forest City club in two games by
the close scores of a. to Al and % TO p.
when the Forest Citys were invited 10
meet the Nationals. The contest took
place at Dexter Park before a vast
crowd OF spectators. who looked TO see
the Nationals have almost a walkover.
In this game A. G. Spalding was pitcher
and Ross Barnes shortstop for the Forest
City nine. These players afterward be-
came famous with the Boston profess
sional tea m OF the early seventies. Williams
was pitcher for the Nationals and Frank
Norton catcher. The Nationals took the
lead in the first innings by TO ,, but in
the next two innings they added but five
runs to their score, while the Forest
Citys added thirteen to theirs. thereby
taking the lead by a score of Is TO 8. TO
the great surprise OF the crowd. The
Nationals tried hard to recover the lost
ground. The final result. however. was
the success of the Forest Citys by
score of - to % in a nine-inning game.
twice interrupted by rain
On the following day. with the admis-
sion fee fixed at so cents, regarded as an
extravagant price to see a base ball con-
test the largest crowd known in the west
up to that time attended a game between
the Nationals and Excelsiors, which had
previously beaten the Forest Citys. The
result a complete rout for the Elk
celsiors by a score of ~ to 4, the Chica-
goans going up in the air. That ended
the tour of the Washington club.
