made, he will block 1t IRON the
start by virtue of his territorial
rights.
After losing seven ball games in
a row the Nationals finally came to
the front and played the kind OF
ball they are capable of putting up.
Today's battle at Navin Field merely
demonstrated to the crowd that the
Washington club must be seriously con-
sidered as a pennant contender, despite
the fact that II occupies at present
lowIy place in the league standing. Wal
ter Johnson's home run may have been
lucky in one sense OF the word, but even
IL the big fellow had famed. Moeller's
long fly to Veach would have brought
home a tally which would have tied the
score. and with the other two runs snatch
ed in the seventh and ninth. the Tigers
would have been beaten. Even the most
loyal Detroit fan cannot possibly figure
where the Tigers had a chance to win
this afternoon.
Ty Cobb this morning had an X-ray
photograph taken of his injured hand and
II developed that the bone OF his right
thumb at the wrist was broken. Cobb
will be forced TO warm the bench for at
least three weeks
The injury to Cobb will seriously handi-
cap the Tigers, as the Georgia Peach has
been playing great ball and stood OFT
prominently as a feature in three-fourths
Of the games the club has won during
the present invasion of the Eastern clubs.
Acosta started the game in right field
today, but Grin took him out in the
third inning. substituting Danny Moei-
Ter. This move proved to be a good
one, as Moeller drew a walk, scored a
run with a single, and collected two
hits ou: OF four times up.
Eddie Ainsmith was badly on his
stride today, and in replacing him with
Alva Williams, Grifith made no mis-
take. Williams handled JohnsOn's
smoke from the fourth inning and not
Tiger attempted to steal on him.
For the final game Of the series here
tomorrow afternoon, Jim Shaw will
more than likely be sent to the firing
line. Griff was undecided tonight whether
to start Shaw or Bentley. for the last
named has looked fairly good against
the Jungalees. both in Washington and
at Navin Field.
Jean Debuc. the French-Canadian
pitcher, who beat johnson in the open
ing game of the series here, is slated
to work for Detroit.

WHITE SOX CAPTURES.

Special 70 The Washington Herald.
Chicago, June I.-The White Sox de-
feated their red hosed brethren, 5 to B
in a loosely played game today, errors
figuring in nearly all the runs scored
Hal Chase failed to report for duty
with the White Sox today, and 1t was
later learned that he was playing with
the Buffalo team at the Federal Park.
Fournier played first base IN his place,
ma king two hits and accepting thirteen
chances without an error.

...,. Ty Cobb Out.
Ty Cobb, who is nursing a broken
thumb as. the result Of his alteration
with a butcher last night, did not don
the spangIes this afternoon. This, Of
course, helped the Washington cause
quite a bit, for Cobb is always ready
TO start trouble even in a ball game.
True to his word. -Grffth sent Walter
johnson to the firing line, and Walter
opened in his modest way, that ''he
reckcned It was about time TO snow some
folks where they get on"
Opposed 10 Walter was George Boehler,
who put st. Joe, Mo-, on the map. in the
Western League, last year. Boehler had
one bad inning. He was not batted so
timely swats turned the trick for the
Grifmen.
Hit johnson Hard.
The Tigers hit Johnson hard in the sec
ond and third innings. five savage blows
scoring a couple of runs. On the other
hand. young Boehler was steaming along
at q fast clip. and for four innings only
one ball was batted out of the field.
The fifth chapter opened auspiciously
for Washington. Shanks drew walk
and Morgan was hit in the back by a
pitched ball. Mcbride hunted along the
third base line. the ball rolling fair instead
Of foul. thereby fooling the opposition.
Alva Williams was hit in the arm by an
inshoot forcing in Shanks. The count
was three balls and two strikes on John
son when Walter waded into a low curve
with a might sweep. The ball sailed
gracefully over the 20-foot fence in left
field and johnson trotted around the base
paths behind Morgan. Mcbride and Will
Jams. Score. Washington, 3; Detroit. .
This mighty wallop failed TO bother
young Mr.. Boehler who quickly regained
his bearings and blanketed the side
Detroit scored it's third run in the sixth
inning on singles by Veach and Burns,
and Moeller's muff Of high fly from the
bat of Oscar Stanage.
Good Base Running.
Good base-running gave the Griffmen a
tally in the seventh. johnson and Noel
ler were both passed Foster lined to
Veach. who threw past Kavanagh at
second to catch Johnson mapping, with
the result that Walter kept right on to
third, and crossed the plate as Crawford S
peg to Stanage was dropped by the
catcher.
Mcbride opened the Nationals ninth
with a clean single, and Williams sscri-
feed him TO second base. George took
third when johnson grounded to Burns,
and came home on Moeller's drive to
right center.
After the third inning the Tigers only
got TO Johnson for two hits. The big
fellow did not appear to be working
extra hard. but possessed that old conf
dence a pitcher always gets when his own
club is travelling under a comfortable
lead.

I have just come from the train
where / have seen the long pine box,
which contained all that was left of
the girl who died in giving birth to
Harry Symohe's babies, started on
its last journey whose resting place
will be. the quiet churchyard in the
little Southern city.
Dick thinks we got away from the
reporters, particularly as none of the
girls relatives appeared at the fun
eral. One or two men from the pa
pers looked in during the service, but
they seemed to think everything was
all right and left
Dick and / were the only mourn
ers, beside the girls father and sister.
Dick asked a young minister from
one of the nearby churches to say
a few words, and he told him the
children were doubIy orphaned. The
man talked on the beautiful bravery
of motherhood and the sacrifice that
every woman makes who brings a
child into the world and gave the
same old platitudes that strangers
say over the dead It sounded very
conventional, but wondered what
the girl lying there so cold and still
would have thought of it all could
she have known.
There were few curious people in
the Gttle\ fiat during the brief cere-
mony. I had a long talk with the
girls father before the funeral. He
seemed very decent old man, quite
dazed by the terrible tragedy that had
been so recently enacted in his
family.
81 was very bitter man against
the scoundrel who brought my
daughter to this, but when the lovely
lady came and I-knew she was going
to care for the babies 1 did what l
thought my daughter would LIKE

a feeling way down in my heart that

younger sister who had grown dim

her life with Harry.
