President Wilson. accompanied by his
daughter Mrs. McAdoo, DIR. Cary Gray
] son and secret service men, attended the
game yesterday. II was the first time
! this year the Chief Executive had visited
National Park and he appeared 10 he
enjoying the hard fought battle.
Mr.. Wilson frequently applauded good
plays by hand clapping. This was noticed
in the fourth inning when Milan made
a pretty running catch OF Veach's liner.
Had the Nationals been content to pur-
sue a watchful waiting policy In the first
inning yesterday the chances are that
a big lead could have been established.
The entire first chapter is composed OF
Ifs" and the second guessers and
grandstand managers worked overtime

For instance IL Moeller had not been
caught on first base he would have
scored on Fosters triple. Had Foster
been content to stay on third base. he
would have crossed the plate on Milan's
savage grounder to Kavanagh which the
last named was able to handle as the
infield was playing back and which had
the infield been in close would have
whistled past .kavanagh a mile a min
ute.
Instead Of all this, Moeller allowed
himself to be caughband run down. FOs-
ter took a chance stretching a triple into
home run. and Milan's grounder did not
go through, as Kavanagh was playing
deep.
oh yes, it's nice to sit in the grand
stand and tell how the game should be
played after the plays have been made

capacity. The growing interest in prize
fighting among fashionable women is ex-
pected to result in about 1900 members

and neither one OF the light-weights is
as handsome as the big Frenchman

that the contest goes the twenty rounds,
