FIRST GAME.

Three singles and a sacrifice fly net
ted the Maps two runs in the first in
ming at the expense of Doc Ayers, and
this lead seemed sufficient to decide
the opener, for Mitchell, the Maps star
twirler, was on the rubber for the home
boys. But Mitchell did not seem to
have a good day, yet he was getting
away with it until the fifth. when a
three-base hit by John Henry with the
bases full gave the Nationals the runs
they needed
Mitchell was in trouble in the second.
Gandil hit safely and died stealing.
After Mike Mitchell had been retired,
Morgan got scratch double, while
Henry was hit by pitched ball. but
no runs resulted. In the fifth, with one
down, Foster singled. Milan flied out,
but Gandil got a hit. Foster and Can
dill worked a double steal successful
ly and then Mitchell and Morgan were
walked. filing the bases. At this juno
ture John Henry hit to left center for
three bases, clearing the bags. In the
ninth Milan's hit and steal, followed
by a wild heave, sent him over the
rubber with the. Nationals fifth run.
The. nearest the Maps came to scor-
ing again was in the eighth. With
one down Engel walked Chapman.
Johnston's hit sent him to third, and
then Shaw broke into the game. Both
Lajoie and Graney popped up to Foster
on the first ball pitched to them and
the inning was over.
The score:

SECOND GAME.

1t did not take the Nationals long to
get in action in the second game, scor-
ing enough runs to win in the opening
inning. Moeller drew a pass, but was
caught stealing. Then Foster walked,
and Milan's grounder to Bowman re-
suited in poor throw to second which
moved both runners up. Gandil then
doubled. bringing both scores home.
Shaw went five innings without al
lowing a hit. In the sixth, Smith
hit safely, but the other batters could
not help him around. There was
another hit in the seventh by Lajoie,
but he. too. was left because of the
inability of the other batters to con-
meet with Shaw's fast shoots
In the sixth the Nationals scored
again. Hits by Milan, Mitchell, Nor
gan and Mcbride netted two runs.
Their final tally came in the seventh
when Milan doubled with two out and
scored on Chapman's error.

Even If the Braves slump badly

Wanted Her Chance.

T TITLE PAULINE lived up in the
II neighborhood Of the Thomson School
She enjoyed a reputation of being ex-
ceedingly sympathetic. and she would weep
over the delinquencies of her erring big
brother. who had a weakness for tyir2,
cans on dogs tails and Sticking cats
around the corner.
One summer she accompanied her
mother brother and a small masculine
friend to the mountains and while there
adopted tiny black and white kitten.
1t was her constant companion. living
night and day in her arms. But one
morning the two boys began to amuse
themselves by tossing it into a mountain
rivulet that trickled before the door.
One boy would give it a pitch. watch it
crawl out on the bank mewing, and then
the other would take a 'go.'
Presently Pauline fled to her mother
bathed in tears. "Oh. mammal she eX-
claimed. brother and Billy are throwing
my kitten in the creek!"
The mother went out front and proceed
ed to deliver lecture. But just as she
got to the most impressive part her elo-
quence was quenched by Billy, who piped
up:
"'Deed. now, Aunt Ada, there amt
nothing the matter with Pauline except
we did not give her any turn to throw
in the kitten herself"
Evening star., 1914-01-25

this acquaintance ripened into close
friendship Hill started out to build a
railroad from st. Paul to Winnipeg. 1t
was Donald Smiths financial backing
and loyalty that made this a success.
At one period. had Smith unloaded his
holdings of Hills stock on the market at
great financial profit to himself, Hill
would have lost control. Smith stood
fast and Hill was saved to go on to still
greater achievements in railroad con-
struction.
Then Donald Smith dreamed the dream
of building a transcontinental railroad
across Canada. Relatively speaking. it
was a bigger undertaking than the Cape
to-Cairo railroad. that subsequent link
in the empires chain of transportation.
The late Sir Charles Tupper once de-
clared that but for Strathcona the Cana
dian Pacific railway never would have
been constructed. 1t is of record that
Smith was the dominating force behind
that work, that it was due to his efforts
that the money was found and due to
his persistence that governmental back
ing was given.
Once while i'll England on the COM
pany's affairs in construction days, the
company in Canada wired him in despair
ing tones. New difficulties had arisen;
the scheme seemed on the point of dis
solution. He wired back one word. 1t
