NOTES OF THE GAME.

This is the fourth straight game Wash
lnston has lost to the Tigers at Detroit
this year, and all OF them were by a one
run margin. The Nationals haven't won
in Jungleville yet
The feature play OF the afternoon goes
70 Witt, the Detroit third-baseman In
the second Baker made a wild heave to
third and it promised to score both Noel
Ter and Foster. Witt dove for the ball
and knocked it down in spectacular fash
Ion. moment later Moeller stole home.
The game was very slow. 1t took an
hour to finish three innings. After that
the contest spun along merrily.
The Tigers ielded much better than
the Nationals, who had an off day. One
OF the nice plays was staged by Young
In the fifth he made a fine stop OF
Shanks grounder. tagged Rice on the
line and then threw out Shanks
Another double play that nipped Ma
uonaI hopes came in the seventh. jamie
son had walked Foster fouled to Burns,
who stepped on the bag while jamie
son dozed.
Moellers muf in the fourth played
havoc. Two were out and Heilman was
pertshing on first. far from home The
two runs in the first were just as bad.
had not Rice and Milan allowed Wits
ny to drop safely there would have been
no scoring then and the Nationals would
have had an easy victory
James showed nothing Of the class
which he displayed in Washington a
couple Of weeks ago. He didn't have a
thing on the ball The game he pitched
in Washington he allowed only two hits
in the first eight innings.
Wildness played as big a part in the
Washington defeat as did misplays on
other than batterymen. A wild pitch
made trouble in the first, and the rally
in the sixth started with a stroll for
Heilman. Had he been retired, there
would have been no scoring then
Gallia wasn't scored upon in the eighth
but he had a narrow escape Young
started the round with a single and Baker
sacrificed him to second Fortunately
Witt hit to Mcbride. who started a prett :
duplex killing via Foster.
The day was very hot and murky and
only about 1900 fans turned out That
is small crowd for Detroit
1t was tough day for the Eastern
clubs. None OF them won their game
Cobb did not play against the Nationals
He was spiked in the hand at Boston
Saturday and has been out ever since.
Jennings was not around either He is
serving an indefinite suspension for "sas-
sing Umpire Nallin Sunday.
Mitchell Is expected to pitch for De-
troit Wednesday and either Boehling or
Johnson will work for Washington.
Interest in sport here Is being divided
between baseball and grand circuit rae
ing. Wednesday the NJ. and M trot, pre-
mier harness racing event in this coun-
try, will pull the bugs away from the ball
park

Those of US who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a
daisy by opening the sluices of the sys-
tenn each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag

Everyone. whether ailing, sick or
well. should. each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in II to wash from the stonn-

hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully In
vigorating. 1t cleans out all the sour
fermentations, gases, waste and acidity
and gives one a splendid appetite for
breakfast While you are enjoying
