LOSE TO MAPS IN
THE LAST INNING
Doc Johnston's Single, With
Two Out, Scores Winning
Run From Third.
NATIONALS DO NOT MAKE
BEST OF OPPORTUNITIES
Have Many Chances to Get Men
Across, But Something Al
ways Prevents.
BY J. ED GRILLO.

CLEVELAND. August Ga single
through the pitchers box in the ninth
with two men out and runner at third,
made by Doc Johnston. gave the Maps a
run and victory in the final game of the
series yesterday. IF ever there was a
ball game which the Nationals should
have won in common canter this was
1t. Opportunities for runs were so numer-
Gus that it is really marvellous that the
Nationals scored but twice. Time and
time again the stage was set for tallies,
but something always happened to prevent
them
1t was a typical Walter Johnson game.
in that his teammates failed to get him
more than about one-third Of the runs
that they corral for most of the other
pitchers. Blanding was hit much harder
than Johnson, but he had all the breaks.
In the first inning the Nationals scored
one run, only to be passed and led by
one when the Maps scored two in their
half After that, johnson was not scored
on until the final round, when the home
boys came through with the run which
brought them the victory.
Moeller opened the game with double
to center and went all the way to third
when Leibold made weak throw. Foster
popped up to the infield. but Mitchell
came through with a single to left which
scored Moeller. Gandil was thrown out
at first, but Shanks walked and stole,
only to be left when Smith famed.
johnson Hits Olsen.
In the Maps half Olsen was hit by a
pitched ball with one out. Jackson wal
loped against the right field wall for a
couple of bases. scoring Olsen and then
he came home himself when Chapman
hit a high bounder into the infeld which
did not come down until Jackson had
scored.
So far as the Maps were concerned they
had few chances thereafter. but not so
with the Nationals. Moeller reached third
in the third, which he opened with hit.
He stole second and third after two were
out. but was left there.
In the sixth the Nationals tied the
score. but the opportunity for batch
of runs was presented. Foster started
the round with hit. Mitchell sacrificed
him TO second. Gandil got an infield hit.
play was attempted. but Shanks good
bunt struck some sort of an obstacle and
bounded on foul ground Then Shanks
sent long fly to center and Foster
scored. Morgan was safe when Pezold
fumbled his grounder. and Mcbride was
passed filling the bases, but Williams
sent 2 sharp srounder to third on which
Mcbride was forced al second.

BODY WORK.-While the body
plays an important part in the
golfing stroke. it is best to let it
do so involuntarily. The body
turning at the hips in the back
ward swing comes back to the
starting point and goes about the
other way in the follow through.
This turn of the body gives add
ed power and force to the stroke.

you are very apt to throw the
whole driving machine out of line,
as it were, and become frightfully
uncertain of results.
In the game of many old men
who play well and very consist
emily you will notice how with
their shortened back swing they
get their bodies we'll into the

They do not permit their bodies
to do more than turn until the

Anecdotes,

Speaking of humorists brings us to
the fact that no man living can look
quite 80 solemn when producing hui
NOR as Irwin S. Cobb, the we'll known
comedian to the Saturday Evening
Post. When Cobb was on the staff
of one of the big New York newspa-
pers he did various news assignments,
some of them mighty serious and 9TH
ers that gave him chance for COM
edy. 1t was standing joke about
the Office that anybody could look at
Cobb as he bent over his typewriter
and tell which kind of yarn he was
writing. II his face was all wrinkled
up with solemnity like bloodhound's,
with sad look about the eyes such
as one rarely sees except in an under.
takers hostler, Cobb was preparing
something that would make hosts of
people laugh.

Woman Raises Rodents.

A correspondent of Table Talk"
tells of Massachusetts woman who
makes good living as a breeder of
rats, dancing mice and guinea pigs.
The idea was first started by the
purchase of pair of the mice for her
own amusement. They were very
prolific, and while at first she gave
away the young, when she found
there was good market for them
she began to find more orders than
she could fill.
With an invalid mother and in poor
health herself, the necessity for earn
ing livelihood faced her and she de-
cided to announce herself breeder
of fancy mice. After a while she was
asked SO often to supply rats and
guinea pigs for medical laboratory
use that she had to engage house
keeper to run her home while she
looked after her unique kennels.
This woman, Miss Lathrop, now en-
ploys several men to run her farm
to raise crops, the greater amount of
which go to feed her rats, mice and
guinea pigs.
