Fiction and Reality.

1t is simple truth to say that many
things happen in fiction which would
be quite impossible in fact. as any
censor knows. 1t is in failing to dis
tinguish between these two that many
artists and most critics blunder and
this error is in effect the same as that
of the ambitious actor who, having
once to play the part, for the first
time, of an intoxicated ruffian in a
certain melodrama. went to a neigh
boring tavern and intoxicated. himself.
He thought that this would storm the
house, but on the contrary he was i'm
mediately fred by the management for
fool-and rightly.-F. II. Martin. in

shortstop.
Later Somers said: THE Yankees
made a bid for some of my players, but
am not going to sell any of them.
Those l have left 1 am going to keep
for myself. I certainly won't sell Chap
man, Graney or Morton, for 1 intend

McInnis is still member of the house
Of Mack. Because the best first base
man in the American League has not

infield to some other American League
rival
c. Mack himself, however, denies
that he has sold McInnis. In a wire
to friends in this city yesterday he in
formed them that McInnis was at

! CHICAGO. August 27.-The Nationals
and White Sox established a new record
! in the American League for stubborn
! fighting in the series here. The three
| games were for extra innings and were
| forty innings long. The White SoX have
| played four games in succession that
were for extra innings. as they had to
play eleven innings with the Yankees the
day before the Nationals started here.
While the series did not provide especially
sood ball. the ga mes We're all very inter-
esting, as the scores We're close.
] 1t is seldom that a pitcher has an OPP
portunity to win two games in the same
series with his bat. but that is what Wal
! ter johnson did yesterday and the day
before
| He started the rally Wednesday that
| sent the winning run over the plate ana
it was a foul tiy from his BAT yesterday,
! coupled with :. bone play on the part
of Leibold. that enabled the winning run
to cross the plate for the Washington
! team.
! The Nationals left here last night for
! st. Louis feeling in very happy frame
of mind 1t was real pleasure for Griff
/ to put a kink into the ambitions OF the
! White SoX to win the pennant ]. was
i an easy thing to demonstrate to them
that their chances were very bad for cap
| turing the big flag.
| Joe Jackson has been big disap-
pointment since he joined the SoX. His
| Dad throw yesterday in the twelfth was
the cause of the game being won by
the Washington men, He played the
bail bad when he went after AIlan's
single in center He was right in front
! of the ball, which was nit hard. but he
: let it hop out of his glove after he got
hold of il. and then made wild heave
to the diamond to hold Milan on sec
ond. He could easily have stopped
Milan by running in with the bail, but
he threw it along the ground and it
| got away from Weaver. and Johns and
Russell, who were backing him up, and
rolled into the White SoX dugout. This
gave Milan an opportunity to score all
the way on his own hit.
i The wisdom of taking Third Basema n
Johns out Of the game in the twelfth
| inning was questioned by the fans after
| the game was over Leibold was sent
| to. the plate to bat for Johns after he
! had made two hits during the game.
| The bases were full and one out when
Mana ger Rowland made this switch
and Leibold was able to ring in the
| tying run from third on 4 hard rap to
