WITH THE NATIONALS

BY WILLIAM PEET.

Altrock has under his wing two promis-
ing. willing youngsters. and now II re-
mains to be seen what he can do with
them.
Nick told funny story the other day
about young Wilson. the left handler
Grin signed from st. Johns College. who
was with the Nationals for a few, weeks.
Il went down to the bull pen one
day." youchsafed Nick, ito try and help
Wilson. After ! had told him some Of
his faults and tried to correct them he
turned to me and said, You can't Kid
me-
That was enough; I threw UP my
hands right there"
When Pitcher Joe Engel whixsed q
fast straight one past Gen. Jackson's
nose, causing the Maps great slugget
to drop in the dirt during the fifth inning
Of Mondays game. Engel tore q leaf out
of Tom hughes note book.
Hughes always worked on the theory
that whenever a noted slugger crowded
the plate and obtained what IN known
in baseball parlance as toe hold the
most eEectual ball to pitch was q fast
one calculated to pass about a fraction
OF an inch from the batters head; then
come back with a couple Of curves on
the outside corner. and the FISH II
caught
Engel had seen Tom Hughes drive op-
posing hitters away from the plate with
the bean ball." and he tried II on Gen.
Jackson. After knocking jackson on his
pins, Engel shot over two strikes, but
then his control suddenly deserted him,
and the prize siugger drew a walk
Incidentally. II might be mentioned. by
way of comment, that Joe jackson. in
the three games between the Nationals
and the Maps, is credited with ten hits
out of eleven times at bat. which, we
might add, is going some.
ANY ball club with a percentage bet
ter than 800 when the season In half
over has a fighting chance for the pen
nsnt," is the way Griff puts IL; and he
is right. too. as previous championship
races have shown.
Therefore, IL Is reasonable to assume
that the Nationals. Maps. White Sox,
and Red Sox cannot be declared out of
the race at this stage. for the 1913 sea-
son Is only little more than half over,
and all clubs mentioned are on the right
side OF the 500 mark.
The st. Louis Star printed a neat lit
tie ballad. Here 1t il:

General McReynold's action in testing
the applicability of the Sherman anti
trust law to the telephone trust" in
the civil suit filed at Portland, Ore,
against the alleged monopoly on the
Pacific coast. revived today discussion
of the probable ultimate policy of the
Wilson administration toward the gen.
eral telephone situation.
The selection Of one of three sug-
gested courses-enforeed competition
under the Sherman law, the toleration
and encoura ragement of monopoly under
federal regulations, as In the case of
the railroads, or government ownership
and operation of the telephone. like the
mails
While Attorney General McReynolds
has not reached a hard and fast con-
clusion, 1T Is understood that his pres
ent disposition is to leave the general
telephone trust problem to the inter
state commerce commission for the
time being and not attack the situation
as q whole under the Sherman law
UNTIL at least, a reasonable time has
elapsed to show the results of the
commissions Investigation now under

pected to be evolved out of that in
