CALDWELL Is A PUZZLE
Slim Twirler Allows but Six Scattered
Hits and Nationals Are
Lucky to Score.
By WILLIAM PEET.

Ray Caldwell proved the Nnsurmount-
able barrier yesterday, and the Nationals
lost the first ball game on the home
park since returning from the West The
score was.6 to !.
Manager Chance instituted a general
shake up In his batting order, putting
Mullen, late of the Western League. on
of Daniel Boone. and dropping Cook %
right field for Eben Holden.
The change worked out nicely. Mullen
looked like a real first-sacker. little
Boone came across with three hits ani
Holden scored a couple of runs.
Figuring that Jack Bentley. who had
shown a lot of stun In practice was
about ready to start and finish bal
game, Griff ordered the Sandy Spring
youngster to the mound.
The breaks OF the game were against
Bentley. He pitched better ball than the
box score indicates. Because Grin
ordered Alya williams TO pinch hit for
Southpaw Jack. Harry Harper was on
the mound when the ninth opened, and
finished the contest
Getting right down to brass tacks, the
Griffmen found Caldwell mighty slim
picking The toothpick twirler yielded
but half a dozen safe blows and kept
them beautifully spread out over the
nine frames.
Nationals Avert n Shut-out.
The Nationals assumed the lead in the
second inning. but New York came back
in the third. knotted the count, scored
once more In the fifth and from that time
on were never headed.
washington's lone tally cropped out in
the second when Smith started the in

Morgan shot a line drive TO left field.
With one down in the Nationals fifth.
Morgan doubled to right center, but
neither Mcbride or Henry could send him
across the rubber.
Two were gone in the Nationals
seventh when Shanks dumped a three
bagger TO right field He was left
stranded. as Peckinpaugh threw out Nor
gan, retiring the side.
George Mcbride opened the home eighth
with a two-base blow, but Caldwell i'm
mediately put on the screws, and the
three succeeding hitters died in order
II was a simple matter for the New
Yorks to break the existing tie in the
fifth. Successive singles by Holden and
Nunamaker with Boone's double turn
ing the trick.
Three More for Yankees.
Bentley was also hit hard in the seventh
when three more hostile runs clattered
over. a pass TO NunSmaker. Boone 5
scratch single. Caldwelrs lucky double.
just inside the right field foul line, and
Maisers single TO center. doing the bust

Harry Harper. who twirled the New
York ninth. did not escape with a whole
skin. He started in badly by walking
Holden. Nunamaker's out. Foster to
Smith. put Holden on second and Boone's
ringing single to left scored him.
Ollie Chill the fearless ump was not
molested yesterday. Catchers Henry and
Nunamaker made a few feeble protests
on certain strike decisions that looked
to be wide, but otherwise the indicator
handler had smooth sailing.

printed in German. This will
provide every person with a
copy. If this amendment be
adopted, the city may amend It's
charter without useless expendl-
ture Of large sums Of pubic
money.
OPPOSING ARGUMENT.
The reasons given by the OPP
ponents of Amendment No. 8
why it should be voted down are
as follows:
This amendment should be de
feated, if for no other reason,
just to show those who would trl-
fle with the organic law Of the
State that it is useless to "clutter
up" the ballot with matters OF
small moment. What difference
does it make to people Of a city
greater than 100000 whether for
NAL notice Of a city charter
change is published thirty days
in three newspapers or three
weeks in two newspapersi Or
whether the German paper re
quired to be used shall be daily
Or whether affirmative action
shall require "three-fifths Of the
voters voting on the PROPOSE
tiOn?' This is not quite tweedle-
dee and tweedle-dum, but it is so
near that it furnishes a beautiful
Illustration of hunting for mos
quitoes with a cannon. The fire.
quency with which cities are
changing their charters in these
days of fad legislation furnishes
proof sufficient that it is all
ready easy enough to amend
charters without further reducing
the restrictions fixed by the
founders of the State.
