Nationals Take Series From St. Louis-T cam Now

pended list Just before the game was
called yesterday Manager Griffith re-
ceived telegram informing him OF the
suspension of Schaefer. 1t was Umpire
Connolly who brought this about. In the
game Monday there was lot of stallng
to give the changed pitchers chance to
warm up. Schaefer was told by Griffith
to go and tell Engel to take his time. and
Schaefer did this-an offense for which
Connolly had him suspended. Roy
Mitchell. whom Connolly put out of the
game the same day, also drew banish-
ment of indefinite duration
For the purpose of setting his players
a good example and to show them that
even an inveterate smoker is not slave
to tobacco, Manager Griffith has quit
smoking for an indefinite period. In fact,
he says it Is doubtful If he will ever
smoke again. There are several cigar
cite f1ends on Griff1th's team, and he is
trying to persuade them to quit the
habit.
Dan Moeller was in evidence again yes
terday with his stick; besides getting two
clean hits, he walked once and sacrificed
on another occasion. Moeller lately Is
playing the best ball of his career as
National and is proving of the utmost
value to his team.
Ray Morgan seems at last to have
struck his normal batting stride. He is
now hitting as he did last season, and if
he keeps up the present pace it will not
be long until he will be up where he was
year ago.
James pitched one inning. the eighth,
and he struck out the side. Hoch had
walked Morgan and Mcbride, and Will
liams had hit safely. scoring Morgan.

If Mitchell's work is not flash in the
pan-and there is no reason for thinking
so-Grifith says that he Is playing Just
in Cincinnati-it is hard to under
stand why the National League clubs
waived on Mitchell. He seems to be
every bit as good player now as ever
in his career, and if he keeps up the
pace he will prove a splendid pickup
for the Nationals. He is a seasoned play

Eel Direct and Grand Opera were
close up to King Couchman nearly all
the way in the first heat OF the Cham
ber of Commerce. Entering the stretch,
Thistle Patch came from behind with
a fine show of speed to get second
place from Eel Direct. The first four
horses were lengths apart at the wire.
In the second heat Thistle Patch was
the contender all the way, but never
had a chance to get alongside the ny
ing King Couchman. The clip in the
last half of this mile was too hot for
the majority of the starters. and only
six of the original thirteen were left
for the final heat, which King Couch
man won in 2.05N. the fastest time of
the race. He had plenty of So ed in re-

have done considerably better. A stin
wind which the horses had to breast
on the back stretch prevented record
time being made.
