The Nationals made three runs in the

to left and Judge followed with dou-
bic, which scored Shanks. Scratch sim
giles by Jameson and Henry, a walk
to Mcbride, a long fly by Moeller and
fumbles by Baker and Peckinbaugh

Nationals scored again in the third

crossed the plate on Henry's hit.
In the first half of the fourth Gallia
led off with a clean drive to center

sent in at this juncture to take Fishers
place he was met with such a cordial

MANY Pitchers Are Used.

The game was not much of a pitchers
battle but il was one in which many
pitchers we're used. Griffith picked Gallia

could not maintain the lead given him

Love. AS soon as Harper went out Don
ovan changed his tactics and substituted
Bauman who bats from the other side
of the plate. Bauman came through with
a double. too. in reward for his man
ayers confidence in him.
The Yanks got busy again in the sew
enth and scored two runs. When the
eighth opened Walter Johnson was on the
mound. and the only time a score was
made against him was in the ninth. when
the home club tied the count as a result
of a missed third strike. Johnson famed
High, but the ball got away from Ain

preferring to take chance on Magee.
The former Fed. though, refused to be
dismayed by the apparent reflection on
his hitting capabilities, and drove a
scorching single between short and third.

Donovan had four pitchers on the
mound. Fisher started but the Ma

rate. Then Love was selected as the one
to pull the game out of the fire. This
choice was Just as unfortunate for the
Yanks as the other. and it was not long

The catchers in the amateur leagues
are not doing good work in preventing
stolen bases. In nearly every game
there are seven or eight men who pilfer
sacks. and sometimes the count runs up
into the teens. In one of the contests
of yesterday, that in the Rosedale
League. there were thirteen stolen
bases charged against the two back
stops
This is due to two factors, in the
main. and does not imply always a lack
Of natural ability on the part of the

The short fences on the Polo grounds

Though Judge stoS two bases and

a total of three bases he was taken out
of the game just as soon as Love,
Williams took his place because he bats
from the right-hand side of the box.
Williams did well, but there was
no good reason for taking Judge out
of the game and thus weakening the
team. The supposition that left
handler cannot hit left-hander is not
correct. There is a certainty that If
the left-hander Is never given chance
to try to hit a southpaw that he will
never learn. Judge was credited with
being the best hitter against a south

average amount raised by the school
each Sunday was $14.24, a total Of
