WASHINGTON, May 3, - First

NEWSPAPERS STILL BEST

Newspapers still hold front rank in
popularity for national advertisers wish
ing to put their product before the buy
ing market, according to a report sub
mitted recently at the annual convention
of the American Newspaper Publishers
association.
The report shows that during 1884
over is per cent of the national adyer
tisers dollar was spent in newspapers.
The balance was scattered in four other
channels.
Last year national advertisers paid
S163, 100000 for space in newspapers as
compared with S145, 100000 in 1888.
Their total budget for 1884 was S349,-
055,000, which was $51 900 above the
previous years figure.
If national advertisers spend that
much money in the newspapers, It IS a
certainty they get plenty Of return for
their money or they would not spend a
dime in the newspapers. And here
another if The local businessman can
get similar results from his newspaper
if he advertises in it. and if he doesn't
advertise, he is overlooking a sound bus
mess builder.
There is no sound argument against

tising medium. 1t is presented to the

Bucky Expects to Collect Hat From Ump
Frvto Question of He

saws Manager Harris. If the
batting they didn't do yesterday
has anything to do with Bucky's
decision, he might as well take the
job himself. Each went hitless
against the Dodger pitchers and
each struck out twice.
Both Powell and Larry, who in
terpreted training rules somewhat
literally while the Nationals were
~wending their way home from the
South, are in good again with
Harris. When his players show
the right spirit, Bucky is no harsh
taskmaSter.
Schultz couldn't hit the Dodger
pitching, but he did a mean piece
Of fielding. Five chances were
handled by him. His one-hand
catch Of Leslie's fly to deep center
after a long run in the second was
a masterpiece.
This catch brought about an odd
double play. Bordagaray, OF the
middle base, saw Schultz get the
ball, but the runner neglected to
60 back and tag the sack before
heading for third. So he went out,

PILOT SURE ROCK
WILL HURL WELL
Discounts Youngsters Loss
to Dodgers-Nats Clout,
but Field Poorly.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

r TE TOOK a beating in his first
- fling at a major league club,
but Henry Coppola is far
better pitcher than he ap-
peared against the Dodgers yesterday,
Manager Bucky Harris believes.
The pilot makes no effort to alibi
the 20-year- old recruits wild per-
formance that gave the Brooklyn
band a trio of tallies that started it
to 7-to-4 win, although it was the
first time in the exhibition series that
Coppola had revealed any looseness in
control.
Instead. Bucky declares he is pleased
in the main with the pitching done
by the Northeastern League product
as the Nationals made their first ap-
pearance of the year in Griffith Sta
dunn. Under ordinary circumstances
Coppola would have given a much
more worthy account of himself" the
manager insists.
In analyZing Coppola's long-deferred
test against major batsmen, Bucky
gives consideration to an umpire's
oversight that gave Frey, the second
batter up, base on balls when the
batter actually was struck out. The
umpire had failed to see Frey swing
at a pitch.
The manager also considers that
Ieslie's single that drove across the
first two runs would have been an
easy out on a dry field. Mired in left
field, Powell simply could not get to
the loft for what should have been
n soft catch

Bolton Heads Attack.

Cliff Bolton led the attack with
three hits and figured in both scoring
splurges. He singled in the. fourth
after hits by Stone and Kuhel had
put across run. Then Larry doubled
to tally Kuhel. With two on and one
out, Manush went up to swing for
Coppola. He knocked one high against
the right field fence, but the blow
was foul by a few feet He swung
again and popped to the third base
man. Schultz came along to watch
O third strike go by.
Munn's wildness aided the Nation
ais in the sixth, which Bolton opened
with a two-bagger. Larry Weaver and
Schultz walked to force Cliff over the
plate. Larry tailed as Myer drilled
into force play. Bolton was the
only National to get on the runway
thereafter. He began the eighth with
q single, only to be caught in dou-
bic play with Pinch Batter Kress.
If the Nationals are out of condi-
ton as result of their frequent lay
offs since breaking camp they did not
show it in their first exhibition at
home. They were somewhat of form
afield, but despite defeat they looked
fully as good as the Dodgers, who
never had an off day at their Florida
training camp and have been in 81
training tussles as against 13 fer the
Washington club.
Weather favorable during the re-
mainder of the exhibition series, the
Nationals should step to the starting
line next Tuesday prepared to put up
O good fight.
