Strunk purchased his home with his

On Sunday the Nationals go to Jer-
sey City for an exhibition game

ith closed the deal for this game sew

club gets a big guarantee for making

BY WILLIAM PEET.

Philadelphia, May 5.-Today's rain,
which made 1t necessary to call Off the
game between the Nationals and Ath-
letics, found the Old Fox in anything
but a pleasant frame of mind.
The Nationals are going so nicely,
winning with such regularity, that
Manager Griffith grumbled when it
was decided to postpone the game-he
does not like postponements when his
club is hitting the high spots and tear
ing along at championship clip.
The official weather forecast for
tomorrow announces plenty of sun
shine and warmer, which means that
Harry Harper will toe the slab for
the Nationals and probably be opposed
by Bullet Joe" Bush, whom it will be
remembered defeated the Nationals in
the Capital last week.
Bert Gallia, the ailing pitcher, re-
Joined his teammates this noon. He
declared that he felt so much bet
ter that he wanted to be with the club
rather than hang around the National
Capital.
Sam Cuttings. the Washington boy
who was with the Nationals for spring
ark club of the International League,
and ordered by telegram to report at
once.
Owner Jim Price, of Newark, got into
communication with Griff last night,
asking him If he could spare one Of
his pitchers and the Old Fox recon-
mended Cuttings, who has been ac-
cepted.
There is a question whether Cuttings
can make good in such fast company
as the International League. He posses
ses the stun all right but lacks expert
ence.
Philadelphia baseball writers today are
loud in their praise OF Walter johnson,
claiming that the speed king this sea-
son looks better than at any time he has
been with the Washington club.
The Evening Ledger comes out with
a strong statement to the effect that
with Johnson's curve ball which has been
developed to a high degree he is easily
! the best pitcher in the world.
Fred Ford, the baseball expert on the
Evening Bulletin, had a long interview
with the great pitcher this mornin and
quoted Walter as saying that the Ma
tionals have a fine chance this year
to win the American League pennant.
Grifith only smiled tonight when his
attention was called to the fact that the
Cleveland Indians had defeated the Chi
cago White Sox again and were right up
| close to the Nationals in the fight for
the flag.

gentleman wrote him that in his neigh

circulated that ths National Liquor
Dealers Association had paid him
$4,000 for the insertion OF the zone
quart" shipment permitted in the

The failure to pass genuine State
wide prohibition bill for the state OF
Maryland was attributed by DR.. Can
non very largely TO the influence OF
the Baltimore Sun. which paper he
said should be held responsible by the
prohibition people for tho position II
took in the fight in the Maryland
Legislature on the prohibition bill.

one of the most sweeping and care
