ords aside from the eleven games
which went into the won column.
The last game of the Boston series
started with Walter Johnson's 5-to-o
victory and was continued yesterday by
the 7-to-3 win over Detroit. In the
eleven games won the Nationals scored
seventy-four runs against twenty-slx
for their opponents, and made lis hits
against seventy-seven for their oppo-
nents. These figures show that the
Nationals averaged 81 runs per gamo
against 2.3 for their opponents. Wnile
the Nationals averaged 1914 hits per
game, the opponents managed to hit
the Nationals pitchers for but 7hits per
contest. The grand batting average in
the eleven games won was .294, tho

other teams did in. the entire series.

in ST. Louis, 1t was the same way. The
Nationals scored thirteen runs In the
second game, and the Browns were able
to get but twelve runs during the four
games.
Fielding Average .e65.
In the eleven games won the Ma
tionals' fielders had 440 chances. of
which f24 were accepted, sixteen errors
being committed. although three error
less games were played. The fielding
average is then 1855. There were eight

"One day, when the Detroit club was
playing at home back in 1900. the Kid
was unusally unruly, kicking at every
decision at the plate and nearly killing
a couple of runners at second base.
At last he was elected from the game.
Then he was banished from the bench.
The umpire thought he had seen the
end of Elberfeld for at least one day,
anyway, but he hadn't.
"Elberfeld went outside of the park
and climbed up on a box back Of the
centerfleld fence. He. tied his red uni
form jacket on a long pole and waved
II to and fro over the fence in plain
sight of the fans. who went into hys-

Jennings thought that Mullin would
be able to stop the fiery rush to the
