NATIONALS D] After being on the cars for nearly twenty-four hours the Nationals arrived home last evening pretty well fagged out with the heat and tiresome journey, j Manager Cantillou . and the players 1 ist j little time in turning in for a comfortable snooze. Everybody was up eailvJ this, morning and reported on time at the park. 'A majority of the ho>s donned their suits and tossed or batted the ball around, but the work was onlv lt?*lit on account of i " the heat and double-header this afternoon. Everybody appeared to bt* in the best of humor and condition, and even Jim Delehanty. although a li'tle cross, was evidently relieved that President Johnson's suspension order had finally been m-idt known. President Noyes received an official letter from President Johnson this morning eaying that Delehanty had been suspended for ten days, fined $ "?' and barred from i the Cleveland grounds as a player and spectator for a year. The Washington club is perfectly satisfied with th? ten days suspension and fine, but cannot un derstand why the lor*! c'ut) should b? punished when if is the evident Intention of.the American league president to punish the player. As a ball player. Delehanty van be barred from the Cleveland grounds, but as a spectator it is claimed he has the law on his side, if he wishes to use it. It is the bad precedent that "has been set bv President Johnson, and is open to critieism The Washington club has four more games this season, and. in the natural course of events, will have twelve games next season with the Cleveland team on the latter's grounds. Should the Clevelands work their way up into first place on this trip it certainly would be a hardship on the l>etrolt and St. Ixiuis clubs for tiie Washingtons to face the Naps in a crippled condition. Next season the same situation comes up. In all . the twelve gam. s played in Cleveland ! the Naps are given an advantage which j practically penalizes the other six cluhs. i which had nothing whatever to do with J the trouble. President Johnson has always acted the part of the schoolmaster in tjie American League, and the club owners have seldom. if ever, "called him" for any action he has taken, but the chances are that at the annual meeting of the organization next winter the order barring Delehanty from the Cleveland grounds will be annulled. One of the Cleveland papers made a grandstand scream over Delehanty's actions on the field and carried ^*ith it eeveral of the club offlcals. It was probably a desire on Mr. Johnson's nart to placate these people that led to the order barring Delehanty from the Cleveland I Park. When "Del's" suspension runs out depends upon President Johnson. He was put out of the game at Cleveland August 4. so that the ten days are up today, but If the suspension is dated later than that ! the chances are that the second baseman will not resume work until Monday. The Chicago club also arrived in Washington last evening pretty well exhausted with the long, hot ride, llaro ?r Jones and Freddy Parent, who left the White Sox last Tuesday to take part in the game in Cy Young's honor in Boston yes- | terdav. arrived in town this morning. It I took both an hour to tell the other play- I ers about the great success of the benefit, and Fielder says the old boy will be given a check that will enable him to live the rest of his days in comfort if he so desires. The White Sox will have to present a somewhat crippfed-up team in the series with Washington, but at that they are al. ways dangerous opponents. Pat Dougherty and Frank Smith have been under the care of the physicians, while Nick Altrock and Jiggs Donohue were left at home. The latter has not yet recovered from the sprained ankle sustained in this city on the -last trip, and won't be able to resume work until the team gets back from the eastern trip. Nick Altrock has always been a handicap to the Washing? ton club, and the local fans will be glad to learn that he will nor face the Nationals this trip. Whether Nick is ill or only "resting'' the report doesn't say. Manager- Cantillon has not given up . hope of climbing still higher in the pennant race, and if the Nationals continue their high-class work displayed recently on the trip around the western cities; there is a big chance of many victories coming this way. Bob I'nglaub will probable be shifted over to third when Delehanty gets back, which will make the infield look pretty "nifty" in a batting as well as a fielding sense, something that hasn't developed for a long time. Although Ote Clvmer was ready to resume work in the outfield, it was thought that Manager Oantillpn would send Boh Edmbndson into right today, as it was expected that Harry White would pitch the opening and closing games of the series for the ex-champions. Bob is a right-hander, and the local "fans" will easily recall the splendid work he did for Jake Stalil in the fall of Ukh>. The "squeeze play" was an old play long before it became known as the "squeeze." It had been used in a desultory manner for years with mor^ or less success. Then, suddenly. Manager Clark Griffith of the New York Highlanders made a habit of it?and the "squeeze play" at once became one of the "discoveries" of base ball. Now comes the report of another "find" in the way of a "new play." This "find" is quite as old as the "squeeze"?but because it has never had a press agent it has not been given the prominence in the minds of the fans that it is certain to receive, now that the publicity bureaus of Ijase ball have taken it up and are booming it. Bill Phelon. the Chicago sage, who undoubtedly has seen this same play pulled off many times, without giving it more than passing notice, has been hypnotized into believing that it Is new. for he writes: "Jimmy Ryan says that the minor leagues have carried one base-running trick through to perfection, while the major leagues are just catching on?the s'eal en a bluff bunt, which the WashinRtons put over on the Sox "a few weeks \ ago. The play is clever and yet perfectly simple With men on second and first and none out. the third baseman expects a bunt, ar.d the plav is to bluff at the oncoming hail as If about to bunt it. In gallops the third baseman and the runner on second can almost amble to third, as there is no chan< e to return and get him. The defense is stung either way. for if the third baseman stays back, the bunt 1 can he made and beaten to first. The i only way to stop this play is to send the ! shortstop back of the third baseman, and ' tliis would leave a big gap where a fast i bail could he iiit through. It is strange that this trick wasn't thought out years ago. and the Southern I.eague kid who invented it was some general." It Is a good thing, nevertheless, that the play has been "discovered." The publicity it will now receive will cause it to be generally adopted by professionals and amateurs, with the natural result that the great national game will enjoy another improvement?another step forward.

Modern pitchers are studying up on aeronautics, too. The pitcher who doesn't snow how to navigate the clouds when he 'goes up"' will likely come down so hard the sudden stop will make Joe Cantillon ashamed to look him in the face. Briscoe Lord, who was with the PhjlaJelphia Athletics two years ago and has oeen playing with the Xew Orleans Peli?ans, has been bought by the Cleveland dub and will Join the Blues at tihe end of the present Southern League season. Another Cy Young will probably enter the big leagues next year. This will make the fourth twirler of that name to be playing in fast company. The Chi?ag'o Cubs have signed Pitcher Young of the Milwaukee Lake Shore League club. Weldon Henley, who pitches for the Priohoctor olnh n f the Rflctorn T.pq oh i p was on the slab against Newark Monday md let the Indians down with a single hit. When Henley is in form it is said that he is a Class A twirier. This showing would indicate such to be the case. It would appear that the new acquisition to the Philadelphia Athletics' pitching staff, Gus Salve, is somewhat of a find." While with the Columbia (S. C.) team, a weak hitting club, Salve won ten, lost ten and tied one game. He will probably join the Athletics about August 24. Newark has purchased an ou' fielder named Wagnon from the South Atlantic League. He comes with quite a reputation as a batter, bein^ well up near the .300 mark all season, but will not join the team until near the end of the season. Pete Cassidy, an old-time National League player, is putting up a snappy game at first for the Orioles. His batting and fielding have had muph to do with boosting Baltimore into first place. There is a possibility that with the dawning of the 1VHK) base ball season there will be another Cobb in the American League. It is rumored through the west that Paul Cobb, a brother of Ty Cobb of batting and fielding fame, is also a "wonder." The report has attracted the attention of the St. Lcuis Browns, and Jack O'Connor, their scout, has been dispatched to watch the playing of Paul and pass judgment upon him. If he apn#nr? worth it the Browns will rav tiw? $.1,000 asked for Cobb 2d. The younger Cobb Is at present playing with the Joplin. Mo., club. Wallace Clements, the speedy- left fielder of the Jersey City team, has been ordered to report Immediately to the Philadelphia Nationals. Clements was purchased by Murray last year, and now that the Phillies are In the thick cf the fight for the pennant he has been recalled. Clements won the prize as the speediest base runner at the base ball tournament held at Cincinnati last summer. . The first eastern team which Chicago will face on its return home will be Philadelphia. A resumption of stirring hostilities is insured for the Cubs the moment they begin to clash with their eastern adversaries. Pittsburg opens with Boston, and occasionally the Boston club gives the Pirates a hard fight to beat it. BIO TOURNAMENT ON. Tennis Matches Draw Crowds at Bedford Springs. CUMBERLAND, Md..

BOSTON, Mass., August 14.?A tremendous and far-reaching cheer hurst from the throats of over twenty thousand base i ball fanp at 2:4u o'clock yesterda> afternoon, when old Cv Young came on the field and began warming up for his game with th? All-Star team. The cheering lasted five minutes. It was Cy Young's day. and there was a vast outpouring of fans to pay homage to the old fellow. The gate receipts amounted to over $7,.Vn> ?all went to him. The crowd was so great that for the : first time since' Bos'on won a championship pennant benches had to be placed in front of the fifty-cent pavilion to accommodate the overflow crowd, among which i were scores of ladies. The All-Stars defeated th? home team by a .'5 to 2 score in eleven innings. The Red Sox were arrayed in grotesque j costumes. Manager McGuire ied the way, j dressed like Uncle Sam. Old Cy Young. | the hero of the day, came next, fitted out j like a typical farmer: then came Origer in a Weber & Fields make-up; Tlioney was an admiral for a moment; Sullivan wore a clown's suit: Burehell and Dnnohue were Chinamen. Gessler a country doctor, Wagner a Swedish comedian, Cicotte an Iri.-h comedian with pink whiskers, Stahl and Lord were cowboys, and Laporte, like Young, was a farmer. When the Red Sox were at the bat in ' the first inning the game was held up while the big presentation took place. Lieut. Gov. Eben S. Draper, accompanied | by President Taylor, marched out to the home plate, followed by the players of | both teams, and, after lauding the hero of the occasion, the mammoth silver loving cup presented by the fans through contributions sent to the Boston Post was j handed over to the only Cy. At the tame time a magnificent floral set piece, inscribed with congratulations of the Boston National team, was presented. In the I second inning there was another interruption while the big cup which the players of every league team contributed for was presented. Fielder Jones made a little speech. A traveling bag from friends was also handed to Cy. The score of the game; All Stars. R.H.O.A.B. | Bos'on.

M illl iff I I Hill U IVIHI1 II I I 1 BOSTON*. -August 14. ?JBillv Papke, the Illinois Thunderbolt, had little difficulty in carrying out his contract of disposing of two opponents in the same, ring on the same evening and inside twelve rounds, when he turned the trick in record time for the edification of patrons of the Armory A. A. last night. Indeed, it all was so easy for the clever westerner that all those who saw the milling are wondering if he could not have disposed of the two combined within the time limit. It took Papke but a few seconds more than two rounds to stow away Johnny Carroll and Frank Mantell. Carroll was the first to be offered to the sacrifice. He managed to last one round, though badly punished, but was knocked down early in the second with a terrible right to the jaw. He was able to get to his feet, hut the referee stopped the fight. Mantell took a beating in the one round in which he faced Papke and then retired. He confessed the game of the Thunderbolt was too much for his nerve. Papke's style was a revelation to Boston tight fans. He was as fast as chain lightning and seemed able to hit equally well with either hand. He just waded into his opponents and battered them down. The card was, in some respects, a disappointment. One preliminary fell through, and those that materialized were not very classy. This, combined with Papke's giant killing tactics, terminated the show in a hurry. COLUMBIA GOLFERS AT POLAND SPRINGS POLAND SPRINGS. Me., August 14.? W. C.
