Special to The Washington Herald.
Detroit, Mich. Sept. 15.-Mr. Jinx has
fallen all over himself in his efforts to
get the Nationals. He has u record to-
day that makes his former achievements
look like one of those thin Canadian
nickels they hand you here, plugged.
Three players out OF the game with
injuries, one OF them Manager Griffith.
suspended indefinitely. captain chased
from the contest with a suspension hang
ing over his head. and the star out
fielder suffering from a anurt ankle; these
are his victims in this city. where they
say life is worth living.
In the early part of to-day's game Ed
die Foster turned an ankle sliding to
second. He tried to stay in the contest.
but had to retire. Trainer Mike Martin
says that n will. be several days before
he can get back into the fray. Chick
Gandil, the only first baseman on the
club, came in contact with big Sam
Crawford at first. and hurt his wrist SO
badly that he had to quit. He will prob
ably be out several days.
Henry threw out his bum knee the
first game here, and has been out since
schaefer and Grinith Out.
But there is more to come. Just be-
fore to-day's contest started, tele-
grams were handed to Mcbride. in
charge OF the team, with the pleasant
information that Manager Griffith and
Germany Schaefer had been suspended
Indefinitely for their run-ins with Con-
molly yesterday. Griffith was in Gin
cinnati at the time the messages came.
To add to the horrible condition OF
the club, Mcbride let his temper get
the best of his better Judgment and
argued with Tommy Connolly upon a
decision that in no way effected the
final result of the game. unit! Connol-
ly had to eject him. 1t took Tommy
long time to throw out the scrappy
captain. but he finally did it. Mcbride
protested when. after Corridor had let
the ball roll to the dugout, Hart waved
the runner on third home, and then
after consulting with Connolly decided
that he should not score. While Nc
Bride was arguing Edgar Willett
pitched one ball to warm up. and the
Washington captain exploded again
about that. Connolly told him to beat

Mcbride May he Suspended.
Bride will be suspended. probably in
definitely. At the rate Connolly has
been having men lifted, Mcbride may

some ground for his argument, but lit
tie reason to keep II up SO unreason-
ably when the team was in the condi-
tion 1t was, and when II meant so lit
tie which way the umpire decided.
The inf1eld is a sad-looking remnant
OF its former self as far as men are
Laporte is the only regular
player in his position. But IL the In
field looks like a substitute bunch, II
makes up in pep what 1t lacks in ex-
perience. They played with a vigor
that was commendable in the time they
had to work here to-day.
Trainer Martin hopes to get the in
jured men into shape in time to get
into the st. Louis series, but It would
not be surprising II he was unable to
do so.
In addition to the three men out Of
the game. he has to take care of Milan.
who turned his ankle making his
seventy seventh stolen base to-day.
