were there with a boost for Null
lin, telling him that we would win
anyway, and to save himself for
the final game of the series.
show the Old Pep.
That the Boosters Clubs cheering gave
the Nationals new life was plainly evil
dent. Each man hit at the ball savagely.
and ran out every infeld tap. There
was no loafing, and every man was in the
game When Foster made a sensational
stop Of Lajoie's smoking drive and then
threw over Gandirs head, not a roast was
heard. while more than one shouted
That's all right, Fatim.' get 'em next
time" II was the real boosters spirit.
The roofing of the boosters was re-
markable. Not once during the entire
nine innings Of play did the lusty lungei
lads cease shouting, while dozen times
II was impossible to hear oneself think.
When Gandil started that lightning triple
play; stopping short a Cleveland batting
fest, the boosters, and for that matter,
every fan spectator at the game, went
wild. The boosters cheered Gandil and
Mcbride, who made the play, for fully
three minutes. the shouting keeping up
until the first batter had been retired.
Keep Up spirit.
When the Maps forged to the front, the
boosters did not quit, but kept plugging,
and the Nationals did likewise. There
was no quitting at the game yesterday,
and the players plainly showed the affect
of the boosters at the game in a body.
Many boosters were scattered through
out the stands, and were not with the
club in a body. Still mere members Of
the Boosters Club were in the first base
pavilion seats, fully three hundred roofing
there
Cow bells. tin horns. rattles. and tin
wash boiler furnished the noise. One
members of the Boosters Club, with the
big wash boiler, fairly outbeat the drum
mer IN Pistoris Band, which played
throughout the game. 1t was the drum
mer with the wash boiler who kept time
for the boosters during the singing OF
the boosters songs. which were written
for this day by iona Sousa, and printed
by Charley Mcclure.
The song which found popular favor
was the parody on What's the Matter
With Father" The parody runs as fol-
lows:
- iEhnt's the matter with Bob Groom?
He's all right:
What's the matter with Mulling
Out Of sight.
EuseI and GaIlia bravely strive.
While Nick and Hughes are still alive.
Iiut what's the matter with johnson:
Hes all right.
The Real Roofing.
The real fireworks came in the sixth
inning. After Moeller had been retired,
Eddie Foster drew a walk. The boosters
started after Hurler Mitchell with a will,
fairly driving the Cleveland pitcher 10
distraction. Milan, Gandil, Morgan, and
Shanks singled in succession and while
Milan was caught at the plate. Howard's
crash showed over the sixth tally. The
boosters were happy-yes. real happy.
When Leibold. the Little Memo of the
American League. grounded out to Tom
Hughes, ending the game. the Boosters
Club gave a correct imitation of the
Middies' Snake Dance. Headed by the
band. playing ''There'n Be a Hot Time
in the Old Town Tonight" the Boosters
Club paraded around the field. Dancing,
waving arms, and shouting all the time,
the boosters showed themselves to be real
fans, and more than one member of the
Nationals swelled with pride while watch
ing the antics of the best boosting organ
ization ever formed.
More power to Bill Hoover and his
boosters.
