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

has been bought by the Cleveland

Another Cy Young will probably enter
the big leagues next year. This will

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

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

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.

Twenty Thousand Fans Pay!
Homage to Boston Twirler.
Marvel of the Age.
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

PAPKE EASILY WHTPS
PADDHI I AMn M A MTETI I
? 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.

championships in lawn tennis doubles on
the courts of the Crescent Athletic Club
at Bay Ridge. Deals C. Wright of Boston
and Raymond D. Tattle of New York, the
eastern champion, defeating Hugh Whitehead
and Jatnes Winston of Norfolk. Va
the southern champions, in straight sets.
Several hundred tennis enthusiasts witnessed
what proved to be a matcli with
many interesting features, not the least
of which was the brilliant form displayed
by the easterners, both former internationalists.
Wright played his usual good game,
almost invariably counting on his hard
smashes. Little displayed that form
which has characterized his playing all
season, his aj*sistanre in team work being
a marked improvement over that of
last year on the same courts.
The summary:
Wright and Little defeated Whitehead
and Winston. ??<>. ?>?.'i. ??1.
This afternoon Wright and Little will
play the western champions. Nat "Emerson
of Cincinnati and L. H. Waidner of

in mi \j I a u i\bi\
The reason W. L. Douglas
$3.50 shoes are worn by
more men in all walks of life
than any other make is be*
cause I give the wearer the
benefit of the most complete
organization of skilled shoe*
makers in this country, who
receive the highest wages
paid in the shoe industry and
whose workmanship cannot
be excelled.
The selection of the leathers
and other materials for
each part of the shoe and
every detail of the making
is looked after by specially
trained experts in every department.
If 1 could take you into my
large factories at Brockton,
Mass., and show you how
carefully W.L. Douglas $3.50
shoes are made, you would
then understand why they
hold their shape, fit better,
wear longer, and areof greater
value than any other make.
