We are hearing of occasional
shooting accidents, but we must say
that the Winooski man who did not
know any better than to wear a
gray cap and sit down beside a
stump to mediate in the woods,
was lucky that the bird shot which
disturbed his cogitations inflicted
only scalp wounds.

PIRATES AGREE TO
MEET NATIONALS
In POST-SERIES
Final Arrangements Will Be Com
pleted When Clarke Sees
Griffith. r.
CAsHION's WILDNEss COSTLY

Boston. Mass. Sept. 5.-Manager Grif-
fifth tonight received a telegram from
Fred Clarke. the leader OF the Pitts
burg Pirates. in which the latter states
that his team stands ready to play the
Nationals a post-season series. and that
just as soon as Clarke can conveniently
leave his club he will see Grlr person.
ally and complete the final arrange
ments.
Griff was delighted with the prospects
OF this series. and declared that he
thought the games would be Of more
than passing interest, also adding that
he was confident the Nationals would
win the series. as he believed Walter
Johnson and Groom could stand the
highly touted Pirates on their heads.
As the Nationals have made such "A
great name for themselves this season.
they are the talk of the baseball world,
and PIttsburg fans will in all probability
flock in large numbers to see the team
in action which set the American League
on fire last June.
This series will bring together Walter
Johnson. the greatest pitcher in the
world and Hans Wagner, the wonder
full shortstop and heavy hitter.
The games are sure to draw big
crowds in Washington. as the Pirates
as they are lined up to-day. have never
appeared here The proceeds. OF course.
will go TO the players and club owners.
with the men drawing the largest shce.
Five games will likely be scheduled.
Jay Carl Cashion's wildness to-day was
fatal to the Nationals. and cost them
the game. Whenever the Carolina
Curver put the ball over the plate. using
all his stun, the Red Sox could not
touch him.
Cashion may some day get control, and
when he does he will be a world beater.
In the third game OF the Red Sox
series this afternoon. Grin will pitch
either Tom Hughes or Bob Groom. prob
ably Hughes, as the veteran has always
been effective against the Boston slug
gers.
Griffith to-day challenged Jake Stahl
manager of the Red Sox. to a pitching
duel between Walter johnson, the IA
nous speed man OF the Climbers. and
Joe Wood, who leads the American
League pitchers to-day.
Griffith declared his intention of forcing
Stahl to accept his challenge to combat
to take place during the present series
between the American League leaders
and the Nationals. who started from
seventh place and have pursued the Red
Sox to the finish, and have given the
baseball world the surprise of 1872
Griffith declares that IL StahI lodges
the challenge, he will hold johnson in
reserve until Joe Wood appears In the
box, and then shove johnson into the
box for Washington. WILLIAM FEET.
The Washington herald., 1912-09-06
NOTES OF THE GAME

The greatest pitching duel Of the year
is scheduled for tomorrow. Joe Wood
has accepted Walter Johnsons challenge,
and while the management had expected
to work these two on Saturday, the pair
will oppose each other tomorrow after
noon. Wood says that he does not care
for any record. but will not allow Griffith
to get away with the challenge. The
players say that Griff and. not johnson
himself is behind the challenge
The two teams kept Umpire Connolly
in hot water all afternoon, and Tommie
had one eye on the ball and the other
on the dugouts.
Cashion. in spite of his wildness. tight
ened up several times when things looked
ominous and pitched himself out OF the
hole. The crowd gave him a good hand
for il, 100.
Ever reserved seat for Saturdays s
game has already been sold. and the
management expect the record-breaking
crowd of the year. The pitching duel be-
tween Wood and johnson will draw more
than 20.O0o tomorrow.
Foster hit the ball hard to-day, but
Gandil and Moeller each passed up good
opportunities to drive in runs.
The Nationals came near to driving
Buck OBrien out in spite of the fact
that this was the most effective game
he has pitched against Washington this
season. Had Moeller or Gandil driven
the tying run across in the sixth Bedient
would have been called TO his relief.
Carrigan threw we'll for a man whose
arm is reputed to be none of the best
Moran was the only Washingtonion who
could steal on him.

By Boosting Yourself You Get Others to Boost With
You-Increased Votes Is the Thing
to Boost For

The standings published to-day repre-
sent the votes cast for candidates up
to noon yesterday. Many are high Some
are low. Some are medium, and some
are right where they started II you are
one OF the high ones you must not feel
that you have a cinch. II you are
among those low in the lists you must
not feel that you haven't a chance.
Every district has more than one prize.
II It had not, then the candidates who
are low in the lists would have the right
to feel that their chances were meager
As 1t is. however. four chances to win
exist in every one of the five districts.
With that string Of possibilities no one
should feel that they cannot finish within
the trips. The fact that one man may
have the lead does not signify that he
will keep 1t. until the end. Some one you
may not figure on at all Is likely to come
up and surprise every one else during
the remaining time by rushing ahead and
turning in. votes and subscriptions in
