THE CARDINALS WIN
Exciting Game Played by the Claren-
dGns and the Home Club Yesterday
in This City.

The loyal Alexandria fans who
iourneyed to the north Alfred street
baseball grounds yesterday to see
the Cardinals and the Clarendons in
the championship series were well
repaid for the time thus spent by
seeing the Cardinals win in the ninth
inning by the following score: Car
dinals, a; Clarendon, 8.
The game was exciting from start
to finish, with every player on both
teams trying hard to win for their
club. The Cardinals outplayed. the
Clarendons in every way by a s:ignt
margin.
The Cardinals used 'Iron Man"
Jack Risdon as their pitcher, and
that lad held the hitting Boys
from the county in check, backed up
by fine catching by Mcbride. The
success of the home team is due to.
the grand batting and fielding Of
every player in the lineup, VIZ:
Merchant, first base; George Aliens
worth, second base; Hill, third base;
Owens, right field; "Jeff" Williams,
left field; Strunkle, center field; De
vers, short stop; Risdon, pitcher;
Mcbride, catcher.
The Clarendons battery was COM
posed of Pfeil and Won Heroulis,
pitchers, with Tommy Degnan be-
hind the bat and all played well. Stew
art, Bolen, Watt, O'Donnell appeared
in the star roles for their team.
Next Sunday the Cardinals will
play the Athletics in the Columbia
Park, Washington.
A Washington paper published the
following item Yesterday in relation
to the games between the Cardinals
and the Clarendons: "The olive
branch has been waved over the
Cardinal Athletic Club in Alexandria
and ethe Cardinals will continue the
series for the amateur title with
Clal endon, Rex Athletic Club and the
Cardinal players explained to
President. Breen4 how they got INTO
the series, and that if they withdrew
at this time they would be accused
of quitting. The players said they
would abide by the presidents de-
cision, and having talked over the
matter at a meeting last week :'e
cided to continue to play"

Will Grow Fleshy.

Occoquan, Va, Aug. 2O.-1n spite
of the fact that the six suffrage
pickets are eating very little of the
prison food, Superintendent W. H.
Whitaker predicts that they wi!
gain both in health and weight dur,
ig their incarceration.
He declared today that if they re,
main here the entire month of then
sentence, each will weigh from five
to fifteen pounds more when they
return to Washington.
Although they have no intention
of going on hunger strike, they
are finding it very hard to accuston
themselves to the prison fare. AS
there is no forcible feeding here
nothing will be done about 1t
whether they eat or not.
