Walter Ji NATIONALS CLC TRIP WITH Johnson Cleverly Outf and Street Dtoa 0? f/\ VX1 IV . BY J. ED GRILLO. Special Dispatch to The Star. ST. LOUIS, June 20.?With a splendid clean-cut victory the Nationals yesterday closed their first western trip of the season, which has been one of the most successful in the history of the team. Fourteen games have been played against the western teams, and seven of them have been victories. Counting the four games played in Newi Tork before the team came west, the games now stand eight won and ten lost a showing of which any team might well be proud. Before the team returns to its own stamping grounds it must play five games in Boston, and there is a good chance for it to take three out of these five, providing the good work which Mc A leer's men have shown in a majority of their games since leaving home continues. Yesterday's victory was made possible by Walter Johnson s good pitching. For six innings he did not allow anything that resembled a hit. but in the seventh a couple of scratch hits netted the Browns a run The big pitcher was in fine form, and as inning after inning rolled by without the Browns getting a base hit, the crowd began to yell at McAleer to take Johnson out and give the Browns a chance. Getting an early lead, Johnson hurried the game along. He pitched without any hesitating or posing, and his terrific speed had the locals standing on their heads, figuratively speaking. Lake, too, was effective, but the Nationals were fortunate enough to get their hits at the right time. No player on the team deserves more rredit for the good showing the Nationals have made on the trip than George McBride. He has played his usual grand defensive game, and in addition to this has been the most timely hitter the Nationals can boast of. He was there again yesterday with a two-bagger in the Hirst inning which scored two runs. It h?? been so in almost every game,the team has won. Whenever a hit was needed and McBride was up he has delivered and that too notwithstanding his reputation of not being able to hit. With an average that does not look very attractive. McBride has been the best hitter on the trip because he has made his hits count for runs. The Gessler-Unglaub combination again failed to do anything effective yesterday with the stick. Both of" these players are taking their batting slump* very much to heart. It is of course only a question of time when they will sttlke their stride and when they do many more games will he won. The present trip has been a successful one and that without the, batting aid of the team's two supposed best hitters. Gessler and Unglaub, a showing which is most remarkable. Had it not been for the threatening weather there would have been an immense crowd out yesterday, but it looked like rain all day, and only 5,000 ventured out to the park. v? hac no rMsnn to feel d is i UVUQU I1V nwu - couraged, for his team has made a much better showing this year than at any time during recent years, yet McAleer is ambitious to give Washington the best ball team pcssible. He realizes that as the league is now made up it is not a difficult matter to get a first division team if he can be lucky enough to pick up a few hard-hitting youngsters. Batting strength is what the Nationals lack, and McAleer proposes to leave nothing undone to better " this condition. The search for ball players is going to be an expensive one. There is hardly a day passes* that McAleer does not receive a dozen tips by mail or wire on ball players in different sections of the country. He does not propose to take any chances of overlooking a good man by simply ignoring these tips, so he has his scouts going from one end of the country to the other to look these players over. Most of them, of course, are passed up, but rather than take a chance of overlooking a single man, he is having every tip investigated. No club started its scouting earlier than the Nationals this year, and it will be continued until fall. "We must compete with the other fifteen major league clubs for material, and we must therefore not overlook a chance to get a good player," said McAleer.

Boston. makes no difference to me for what position a player may be intended; if he shows anything -we will get him, If possible, though the position he fills may apparently be well taken care of at the present time. If we have any luck in picking up material we will have a much stronger team next season." There are several players who were dropped by the big leagues last season end sent to the minora who are sure to come back this fall. The American Association is harboring most of these veterans, who seem to have" taken a second lease of life, and already major league clubs are negotiating for their return to fast company. Pitchers I.iebhardt and Rhoades, late of Cleveland, are pitching such exceptionally good ball that they are sure to come back. Jimmy Williams can get a major league job tomorrow, and there are several others who will be drafted or purchased this fall. The youngsters who nave laaen me places 01 mese piayers have not shown the form expected in most instances, and the major league clubs believe they can strengthen themselves by giving the players who have been up and were sent back for another trial. If proper arrangements can be mads the Nationals will do their spring training at Hot Springs next year. Manager McAleer is now negotiating with President Taylor of the Boston club for the use of the grounds which the Boston club has leased at the Arkansas resort, and there seems to be every indication that the deal will go through. The Boston club has made arrangements to go to the coast next spring and will therefore not use its Hot Springs plant. McAleer has been in communication with President Taylor and the matter will be finally settled when the Nationals are in Boston. McAleer considers Hot Springs the ideal training place. He thought well enough of Norfolk, but he is doubtful if a team can be gotten in first-class shape there because of the cool winds which blow incessantly. making it almost impossible for the players to be benefited by their aweatouts. It is his intention to follow the Pittsburg team's plan of training, going first to West Baden for a week to drink the water there and then spend three weeks at the springs. Charley Street, who of course knows Walter Johnson like a book, having caught Ijim in nearly all his' games since he broke into the big league, tells some interesting things about the Nationals' star twtrler. According to Street, Johnson has more nerve than any pitcher he has ever handled. "There is no such thing as weakening In his make-up," says Street. "The tighter the pinch the better Johnson likes it. Whenever anything goes wrong behind him he walks up to me and says, T>o*rt let that bother you, Gabby; we'll set the next feller.' "You know when Johnson uses his greatest speed? Well, whenever you see him with both hands on his knees leaning over right after he has delivered a ball, then you can bet that he has put everything he has on the ball, but it is only in pinches that he does that. Johnson is easy to catch when he has control, but if he happens to be wild it is worth one's life to be behind the bat, for the balls shoot so that it is impossible to follow them with your hands, and there is always danger of being hurt." While there is no doubt that without exception every; member of the Washington team is pulling for Lajoie to lead the league in batting so that he can win the automobile which Is offered to the best batter, yet most of them doubt Larry's ability to beat out Cobb. This because of the many hits Cobb will get by reason of his speed, which would be outs for Lajoie. "Cobb looks to have the better chance to lead the league." said McBride this morning. "Larry will get the most cleancut hits, but Cobb, because of his speed, will have an advantage. There is no denying Cobb's ability. I often wonder if any of the players one hears tell of who were great stars years ago were really in Ty's class. To me he looks to be the greatest ball player that has ever lived, for there is nothing he cannot do."

Mich., June 20.?Boston has offered a big price for the services of Charles O'Leary and, falling in that, bids well for "Chich" Lathers Neither player will be sold.

A base hit by Lelivelt after Milan had been retired, his steal of second and*a pass to Elberfeld gave the Nationals a start in the first inning, bu Gessler failed to bring either man home, though his out moved them up, and then McBride hit for two bases into left, which scored two runs. In the fourth they scored two more. McBride was walked in this inning, and on the hit-and-run with Conroy he went to third, while Conroy took second on the throw there. Unglaub forced McBride at the plate, but reached second himself, and with Conroy scoret a moment later on Street's single.

If any clubs are to be aided either St. Louis or "Washington will derive the benefit. Mr. Navin has promised Washington the use of a catcher for a time if Street's rheumatism comes on again, but he will not aid Boston or Philadelphia.

The race in either league, however, is still far from being settled, especially in the American League, where New York. Athletics and Detroit are all bunched, with only sixteen points separating the first and third teams. The Chicago Cubs have a comfortable lead in the National League, gained by their fine showing on tne trip Just nnisheu, and with the team playing In Its old-time form and a staff of pitchers all working In good form the Cubs will be a hard team to dislodge from the lead. BASE BALL NOTES. The Red Sox were the only Eastern team to win two games in a series in Detroit. Second place again for the Athletics. But they get a chance at New York tomorrow. Ed Walsh defeated the Athletics twice durinfc the series In Chicago. He allowed them only three hits yesterday. James Dowd. the star pitcher of the Holy Cross nine, has signed a Pittsburg contract. The Pirates need twlrlera. How have the mighty fallen! With two out the other day Drucks passed two batters and then Honus Wagner came i up and struck out.

Pretty good start that Spade, the Cincinnati castoff, made for the Browns. He won his game for them, and for a pitcher to win with the Browns behind him is a feat in itself. News comes via California that Jim Vaughn is being reserved during the cold weather and that he is absolutely no good unless it is hot. He has won nearly all of his games in cool weather. The apt expression "bonehead" originated with ball players, just as has all the other expressive slang of the diamond. New National League Umpire. MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 20.?Mai Eason, former Eastern League umpire and working at present in the Southern Association, has been appointed to umpire in the National League, according* to announcement here. Southern League President Kavanaugh has offered Eason's vacant berth to Bill Hart, the old-time Pittsburg pitcher, who has been pitching in the Southern League for several years, being a member of the Chattanooga team now. SOLDIERS IN WARM GAME. Local Engineers Defeat Fort Washington by One Run. FORT WASHINGTON, Md., June 20.The Washington barracks aggregation of ball tossers, accompanied by a number of charming lady friends, were presented with the game here Saturday by Third Baseman Johnson of the Fort Washington team, by making three wicked throws of the first three ground balls hit to him in the first inning. After the smoke of the battle cleared away Washington Barracks had five runs on three errors, two singles and a two-Dagger. Drummer Ditched good ball after the first inning, Enid In a them down to two runs. Moore s catching and home-run hitting helpf Fort Washington up to within En a run of tying the score. Fort Washington fought hard right up to the bu? With two men on in the ninth and none out. Fort Washington could only get Tn one run owing to the good pitching of Fisher and catching of Webster. The five run-lead seemed too much too overcome? but Fort Washington died game in the ninth one run behind. The score: vv B R H. O.A.E. Ft. W. R. H. O.A.E.

A double header was played at Fort Washington yesterday between the 17th Company and the 44th Company, and the 119th Company and the 143d Company. In the first game the 17th Company stopped the 44th Company in her runaway in the post pennant race in a hard i fought battle, score 5 to 4. Errors, bad judgment in trying out a new pitcher and not being able to hit when hits would mean runs lost the game for the 44th Company. A good pitcher and good luck helped the 17th Company to win. Hayes" delivery was so easy that he only lasted while the nrst four men were facing 1 him. Hickey, who replaced him. was a puzzle to the tatters. With a handicap of three runs and none out against him when put in the box, he pitched a winning game and deserved a shut-out to his credit instead of a defeat, only four scat- 1 tered hits being made off him. Bros- '1 trom pitched good ball after the first i inning. . In the second game the 143d Company j put the llPth Company back into last j place by driving two pitchers out of the , box and making ten runs in "the first < four innings. Storm pitched good ball , for the 143d Company. The scores: 17tb Co. R.H.O.A.E. 44th Co. R.H.O.A.E. ' Wlll'ms.lf 1 1 0 0 0 W'db'go.ssO 0 12 1 i Chartler.ss 1 0 3 3 O Howald.o. 1 1 8 0 0 !
