Although Kshoe declines absolutely
to discuss the plans of Manager Grif-
fifth. 1t Is known that a lonS draft list
will be sent to the National Commis-
month. Kahoe has toured the country
thoroughly this summer. keeping his
eyes open all the time and taking note
of young players who may be obtained
through the draft for small sums com.
course. by this plan many of these lads
may be lost to the club, but in the
long run Griffith believes it the wiser
scheme.
Jack Ryan, the Nationals veteran
coach. is now in the South looking up
several promising young players who
have been tipped off by umpires. Man
ager Griffith has several intimate
friends among minor league umpires
with the doings of the youngsters in
their circuits. The results of their es-
pionage will be seen when the draft
lists are announced.
Schaefer's Glad Rags.
Whe Herman Schaefer arrives in st.
Lo1is he will bloom forth the Beau
Brummel of the Nationals, for 1t is
there that +. p. Strikers debt will be
paid. Striker is a red-hot Detroit rooter.
and when the Climbers were In the City
of Straits this spring he bet a COM
plete outfit with Schaefer that the Ma
tionals would not win three straight
from the Naplanders. Well, the Climb
ers did just that thing. and would have
taken the fourth but for a rainy Sum
day.
AS soon as the Nationals arrived in
Detroit Schaefer called on his friend
Striker. who proved to be the real
thing. He came through at once. Her.
man was measured for a $50 suit Of
clothes, picked out two fine silk shirts,
chose a creation for a cane, a nobby
derby hat, and a silk tie that will cause
comment when he roams along Pennsyl-
vania avenue.
"The suit will be sent TO me when we
reach St. Louis" says Schaefer, land
then I'll show you boys just how a gen.
tleman looks on parade. Why, say.
there's nothing TO 1t at all. Even Doc
Gessler would look like a rube along
side of me in my Striker outfit"

there were two on when Mattick beat
out a bunt, filling the sacks. Harry
Lord dropped two-base knock in right

when Collins hit to Groom. Callahan
slapped single to center, scoring Lord
and Bodie, reaching second himself on
Groom, Carl Cashion taking his place
on the mound.
Cashion Does Well.
However, Cashion proved to be very
stingy with his bingles. refusing to give
more than two after that inning. and
all this time the Climbers were climb
ing. Indeed. when Johnson marched to
the rescue the score was even, thanks
to the good twirling OF Cashion and the
fine clouting of several of the Climbers

and raced all the way around when
Cashion dropped a double into left CEN
ter. Callahan took Moeller's long fly
and Foster forced Cashion at third with
a roller to johnson. Manager Griffith
registered strong complaint about the
decision, but it went. and the Climbers
made no more runs that session.
There was one gone in the eighth
when Williams slammed a double to
left. The big backstop went to third
Shanks brought him in with a fierce
single to left. That ended Cicotte, Joe
Benz being rushed into the fray,
Cashion picked out one of Benz's very
best spitters and 1t dropped In right

on third. Nick Altrock had fit at

great delight of the bugs in the stand,

Doc White succeeded Benz and Foster

agonizing session.
Cashion famed Callahan in the eighth

Kuhn drew a pass. Griff was taking
no chances and he sent Walter johnson

Big League Hitters of
a Day
BY SENATOR"

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 6.-For game
ness and stick-to-itiveness you must
give the supreme honors to the
Climbers. Hopelessly in the ruck,
with the score standing at to
against them in the third inning and
Eddie Cicotte pitching fine ball. they
kept on rolling their load up hill un-
til they succeeded in trimming the
exultant White Sox in ten innings by
score of to Z. Such a thrilling
battle has not been seen in years.
When Dan Moeller collided with one
of Joe Benz's benders in the ninth
Tor a triple, tieing the tally by show
ing Shanks and Cashion across the
plate. the fans went crazy with de-
light, so pleased were they with the
wonderful exhibition being put up by
Griff's Kids, who are on the trail of
the Red Sox for the leadership in one
of the greatest struggles for the PEN
nant ever seen in the American
League.
Then George Mcbride dropped a
Texas Lacquer in short center for
two bases in the tenth frame, sliding
into second base while Bodie, Mattick,
and Rath disputed which should pick
up the pill. That was in the tenth
session. The entire Washington team
was grouped in front of it's coop,
leaping and dancing and shouting
until it seemed certain that Umpire
Dineen would Danish them all.
Howard Shanks, who had already
stung the pill twice for safeties, did
his best in the pinch by sending Mat
tick out two miles for his screaming
send McRride to third.
Then came Walter. Doc White tried
his very best assortment OF curves and
slants for the great twirler, but 1t was
to no avail. Walter slammed one on u
line over second base and McBriie
raced across the plate with what
proved &c be the winning run In a game
the like CT which has seldom been
seen.
However, that final half of the tenth
was some inning, filled with thrills for
the loyal White Sox fans.
Bodie hung around the plate until
given free pass to first. Shane Col
lins stood helpless and allowed himself
to be called out on strikes. Then Cal
lahan, before going to bat, sent Wea-
yer In to run for Bodte. Gandil grabbed
Callahan's roller, but Weaver reached
second. A solid smash for a safety
would tic the score and give the Sox
chance ct the victory.
II was johnson against Johnson, too.
Cor the fates willed that Ernie should
face Walter In the final tussle for the
honors. The peerless hurler got two
strikes on the young sandlotter from
Chicago back yards and then the
youngster hammered a bounce toward
Foster. "Fateem' seized the roller ano
tagged Y eaver, who had started for
third and the game was done, with the
Climbers victorious
The Sox jumped on Groom I'm their
half OF the third, and II looked like
sure victory for the home boys when

John Henry Is to join the team at

remains to be.seen. Just now Henry is
not badly needed and it would be poor
policy to start him unless he is alb

good catcher he is and his hitting

Washington. April 2.


With q view to federal intervention
in the threatened coal strike. Senator
Watson has introduced joint reso:us
tion providing for the appointment Of
q Committee consisting Of three mem
bers each from the Senate and House
to. investigate any labor disturbances
that may exist now or here after DUR
ing the existence of the committee and
to report to congress the facts in the
case and make such recommendation as
it may deem advisable regarding legis-
lation which might put an end TO the
trouble. Senator Watson's idea seems
to be that Congress might in some way
prevent or terminate the strike and
that it should have its information in
regard to the subject at first hand.
The Senator's resolution has apparent
ly met with favor in the Senate Com
mittee on Interstate Commerce, that
Committee having devoted one entire
day 10 its consideration and having set
another day for further consideration.
1t is believed the resolution will get a.
favorable report from the committee
and that. it will pass both houses
The Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce has had several meetings
in regard to Senator Chilton's bill pro-
=hibiting the election by a railroad com :
pany of officers and directors who oc-
cupy similar positions with roads
operating competing lines. A PROPOSE
tion similar to this was defeated bY the
Senate in the last Congress, but at the
present time good many Senators are
favorable to the measure and it would
seem now that the chances are that the
bill will pass.
. Congressman Brown has introduced
bill directing the Secretary of War
to donate to the City of Kingwood two
brass or bronze cannons and suitable
number Of cannon balls to be placed in
a public place in the city of Kingwood.
