Strenuous Days Are
Coming for Griffnlen
Double. Headers Pile Up As
Result of Bad Weather and
Postponements. =
BY LOUIS A. DOUGHER.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. June a.
Evil days, strengous days, are COM
ing for the Griffmen. Not only have they
been continually prevented from getting
under way this spring on account OF
unfavorable weather or lapses in the
schedule. but doubleheaders are pilins
up. These doubleheaders are always
unwelcoms. They compel the regular
players to extend themselves almost to
the point OF exhaustion and they raise
ructions with the pitching corps.
One of the reasons for the failure Of
the Nationals to get away to a good
start this season has been the breaks in
their schedule. A ball club. to do Its
best work. must be in action almost
without interruption. After the opening
week of the present campaign the Griff-
men have been hindered in every way
from getting into their stride. On the
very first trip to New York a game
was postponed. On their recent long
jaunt around the circuit six more were
called off for inclement weather. Add
ing a Sunday in Boston and two sched-
uled vacation days in Chicago. nine days
in that month found the team without
any work to do. One day was lost
after coming from Detroit East and the
| next day rain prevented a game with the
Yankees. The first game here went
through all right as per schedule, but
yesterdays continuous downpour halted
| the team once more. Is 1t any wonder
| that Manager Griffith feels that even
Fate is against him?
The next long jump of the Griffmen
| will see eight extra games piled up on
| the Griffmen. ~NOne double-header will
| be staged in New York and then will
come serious situation In Boston,
where six games will be carded for
three days July will have morning
and afternoon games. while double
headers will be due on the two following
afternoons. Chicago will offer no
trouble. but six games viii be down for
the four-day stay in St. Louis and six
more in the four days in Cleveland.

NEW YORK. June 3.-Ruth. the Red

yesterday. and in the second inning he
dashed home run into the right field

the lead. The firmness. permanence
and otherwise immutable nature Of this
lead was such that the Red Sox stayed

The third Western team to appear in

The Windy City crew Is just now ont

will still be leaders when they show UP
at Georgia avenue on June II. for four
games. Tho Nationals have no par
ticular fear of them. though, for an
even break in four games marked their
battles in Chicago this spring.
The Detroit Tigers, considered by
many the class of the league this sea-
son. will be the last OF the Western
clubs to meet the Grifmen In the CaI-
ital. coming on June II for three games.
With Cobb, Crawford, Veach and Kav-
anaugh slamming the ball out of the
lot every now and then, the Tigers
ought to prove great attraction for
Washington fans.
The remainder OF the month will find
the Boston Red Sox and the Athletics
guests at Georgia avenue, five games
with the former and four with the lat
ter. Just where those teams will then

THIN WOMAN MUST RELAX
Too Much Nervous Activity 10 One of
the. Reasons for Her Not Putting
on Flesh.

The thin woman is usually nervous
and active, and nips her budding
pounds before they have time to add
the faintest suggestion OF a curve to
her figure. 1t is as important for her
to learn to restrain her activity. to
put, as It were, a brake on her move
ments, and to observe stated periods
Of relaxation, as it Is for Madame EN-
bonpoint to exercise her fat away.
II only they could change prescrip-
lions, what Joy there would be! For
the woman who weighs too much is
prone to welcome an easy-chair and
loungingrobe with ecstasy. while the
bony maid considers ten minutes Of
open eyed repose an ingenious form Of
torture. Yet there can be no swapping
of horses In crossing this stream.
The thin little maid who really
wants to add pounds of plumpness
must register q solemn VOW that she

finally the whole body should be made
