ten-strike by the st. Louis fans.
Harry Harper pitched a splendid
game of ball He struck out nine men
and allowed but eight hits. few of
which were productive. He always was
master of the situation, and after he
got his lead there was not chance FOR
the White Sox. Harper for a time ap-
peared to be badly hurt, when Williams
hit him. 1t was on the left arm. for
Harper swung at the ball which MT
hinl. and 1t came fast. It was this mis-
hap which started the inning In which
tine Nationals got five runs, and Har-
per demonstrated there was nothing
wrong with his arm by the impressive
manner in which he finished the game
Rowland used six pitchers. and Cicotte
was the only one who escaped with
whole skin. Wolfgang started the
game, but II was evident that he was
not in shape, for he was hit unrierct-
fully hard right from the start. though
no runs were got at h.s expense. Milan,
for instance. started the game with a
line drive at Weaver which was hit
Foster singled. and after Moe!ier was
out Rice singled. but no runs came
through because Williams could not hit
the ball safe.
But Rowland was convinced that
Wolfgang would not do and sent Will
liams TO the slaughter. Though Morgan
started the second with a single Will
liams escaped being scored on. IN fact.
he escaped until the fourth, when sin
gle run was scored. But the hitting of
Harper and a double in the fifth sent
him to the bench. and then Benz was
pounded to fare-you-wel1. until the
five runs had been scored. the final two
runs being the result of hit by Henry
off Russell. Cicotte was next used, and
after him came Danforth, who finished,
and he. too. was given a lacing while
he was on the mound.
Rowland is believed to have exhaust
ed all his pitchers in the second game,
and he may find it hard matter to dig
one up for today.

gustedly. But suddenly-crack, crack,
rata tat, rat-a-tati. The orders to
the infantry have not been counter
manded, and the quiet of the night is
roughly shattered by a long line Of
viciously cracking rifles and Lewis
guns. to which the Germans reply.
1.-The gasmen move about uneasily. 1t
is not for themselves they fear, but for
those pipes and cylinder heads lying bare
and exposed to the hail of flying frag-
ments. Well they know the danger of
bursts and of trenches filled with gas
and no wind to move il. But they can
not bag up without orders. and so they
detail one of their number in each bay
to watch the cylinders while the rest
gather behind the traverse. as being a
slightly safer spot.

LONDON, July 15.-Before the big
