(Continued from FJrat Page.) the ball for all the lilts and runs of the contest. It Is. quite Impossible to diagnose beforehand the particular sec-, tlon of tho batting order which be the most dangerous. A Tale of C. Walker. "The spirit of this team Is the best t ever saw," 'M.y Griffith. ''I benched young Walker because he was weak on eround'aalli. I told htm why I benched tfclm, and did he aulk? Not a bit of It. He is out there every day now, making oomebody hit him grounders so that he may overcome his weakness. That's the spirit I like. In a youngster, tho willing ness to admit faults and the earnest ness to try to overcome them. "Look at nay Morgan. That boy Is Kolng to make a grand hitter somo day. lie is 'fast an his feet, picks out good balls to hit and Is making good at sec ond base. But he has a weakness, taking throws at the bag, I told, him, about this "weakness and no Immediate ly asked to bo alldwed to take all the throws In practice so as to overcome KTs weakness. McBrlde, one of the grandest fellows I ever had on a team with me, volunteered at once -to teach Morgan all ha know himself, and there they are every- day, working their heads off to strengthen tho team, for that's how they look at it." The acquisition of "Chick" Gandtl has proved the making of the Infield. KaBt on his feet, tall enough to atop high pegs and with telescopic arms to get the wide ones, high, low or out to one side, Gandll Is playing, magnificent ball and is well worth tllo big prlca Klven for him. McBrlde, always a wonderful fielder, lias Improved fifty per cent with Gan dll on first to take his hurried thrown. .Away from tho hammer-throwers at Florida avenue, McBrlde is a etar in tho ahortfleld. ranging all over It and out Into short left and short center. There Is no better man for the Job to day on any team in the league than McBrlde. Foster a Sensation. foster has created a furore every where he his played, the midget prov ing of big league caliber In. every de partment, fielding, hitting and runnlnc. Windy City fans will never forget his resounding drives for triples at tho AVhlU Sox park and his ability to work the hit-and-run with Moellor on the cushions. Ilowaid Shanks' fielding game Is magnificent. Now he runs to the fenca with excellent Judgment for a long, high fly and again ho darts in as far ns the Infield for a low one. All the Ecrlbes In Chicago wanted to know all about him, where he came from ami who he wbb, who discovered him and how tho Nationals got him. The boy Is In tho garden to stay. too. Moeller player right Oeld In Roches ter and Is at home tliero. Tho Roches ter rambler makes hard chances look asv In tho field, so smooth Ib his style of playing. At tho bat and on tho base a he Is a terror to the opposition, Ho can hit anything and ho la particularly skillful when he "lays 'm down." So -jreat la hla speed that he will almost nlways score from first on an ordinary double. He Is living up to all John Oanzcl predicted for him at Charlottes ville last March. The Nationals of 1J12 may not win any pennant, they may even Iwrr to fight to stay among the flret four, out they will make that fight. Nationals' ienth Victory Is Result Of Weird Playing DETROIT, Juno 10. The tenth suc cessive victory of C. Calvert Grif fith's Climbers was a crude affair in nine chaptors, ending with the Nationals irlnner by a 4 to 3 score over HugHey Jennings' Tlgera. Not a run wM cored but was aided and abetted somewhat by an error, either of omission or ' qommlHslon and it is aemarKable that no more tallies were made during the course of the diamond Irgument. Though outhlt by the Tigers, the Na tionals made their bingles count heavily Jn the final results and jut noaed out ihrough the cool and cratty twining 01 Tomasso Hughes, the scar-faced vet- Iran of the hill. Tomasso was stung iadly only in one chapter, but Old Kid Luck came to hla assistance and the Tlxcrs got but one run. Edgar Willett, Jennlngs' choice to stop the mad rush of the Climbers, was futiously wild until the sixth chapter and Griff's lads were quick to take ad vantage of his weakness. Toward the i lose of the argument he managed to f-nulre control of his underhand shoots cnd held tho Climbers hltlqss. Jlow tvci, by that time tho deed had been done. The Nationals had copped their Hist battle In the City of Straits. Musser Starts Poorly. Musser didn't get tinder way very well and, with one gone Davy Jones was rasged. Cobb singled to short right and Jcr.es wert on to third with Ray Mor gan holding a perfect throw from Moel lor. Ray had Borne cotton wasto mixed Mpfjwlth the wheels about then. Sam Crawford'a healthy drive to mldlleld ent -Jonea acioas. Faddy Bauman hit into a doubln play nn the big crowd lad to be content with that lone tally for that chapter. Kach team scored a run in the second. GHiidll spanked a safety to center lo start tho Climbers' half, only to -be forced by Howard Shanka. The 'Voungs tonn BUr rushed to third when Ray Morgan jolted safely to right. McBrlde bounced to Louden, and Morgan us hrffe at second on Bauman's fumble of the tossi, Shanks scoring. Henry forced McBrlde and stole, but Muser Is a pitcher, not a hitter, and he rolled to Bauman. The Tigers quickly went ahead In ,holr half, though, when Morlarty spanked a double down tho left field foul line, took third on Louden's deft sac rifice, apd when McBrlde tossed Onslow's roller to the grandstand, the big Tiger had no trouble whatever In crossing the platter. The next two battor hoisted, and the Climbers still had a, chance. Climbers Tie Score. In the third chapter the Nationals caught up with the Jungaleers. greatly to the amusement of Herman Schaefer, the German prince, coaching at third, ' Dare-Devil Dan" Moeller shot one to Ruth, who Immediately flung It Intq tue Nationals dug-out. Moeller reached wrtrt A MMt ON CASE IN TMe NIHTH- OUBtC AH VWUPTT fuMMCUEO TMC VHWUT.tr ATMOSPHEBE. the midway station on the awful heave, and went to third when Louden was tossing out Foster. Willett thought he would get Into the Joke right here, and made a wild pitch to tho grandstand, Moeller tallying and tlelng the ncore. The fnto of tho Tigers was decided In the fourth, the Nationals making two ru n b, just enough to win tho contest. It was well they got them In there, too, lor after that session the big twliler developed an amazing stinginess with his bingles, and hla team tuntej lust their feat of tho enemy Colli) got under Shanks' long flv, and then he held Hay Morgan to a single on a wicked drive over the midway cush ion. McBrlde whaled the pill to right, putting Morgan on third. Crawford thought to got the Baltimore boy sit third, but hurled the ball Into the TlKcrs' duc-out. Morgan scoring, and McBrlde going all the way to third Again Willett went Inuane and, after walking Henry, he pulled another wild heavo that lot tho Climbers' captain tally tho fourth run. Held Tigers Down. With ono gono in tho lillh Foster was hit, and Milan bounced a blngie to center, but the noxt two died, Louden robbing Shanks of a clean hit by a lightning dive Into the air for his liner. Never again after that did the Na tionals have a chance to score, and they contented themselves with holding the other fellows. Tomasso Hughes went Into the box In the third and did well until the sixth, when a convocation of three hits, a poor throw and a walk gave the Tigers a lone run. Fast work kept them from making" at least tv.'o more, the kind of fast work that is characteristic of the team. Cobb bounced a hot one at 1'ostcr and went all the way around to thlid when the midget hurled the ball to the pavilion In right tlcld. The "Georgia Peach" went over on San Crawford's sturdy double to right. Hughes loat his cunning momentarily, walking Bau ntan, a weak hitter. John Henry was wide awake, and When Morlarty dropped one In front of the plate waH on It in a flash and naited Crawford at third by an eyelash. Pafldy Bauman strayed a woo bit too far from second and was caught. This sent Jennings into a rngo and Faddy now knows several bunting phrases un known to him before that time. The costliness of that move was shown when Louden loed a single to center, putting Morlarty on third. Onslow sent an outfielder' delight jo Mouller, and the line chunce of tne Tigers to tie tho score, if not go uhead, Had gone up the spout. Failed to Worry Hughes. The huge crowd started In Its cease less unison clapping In the ninth, but Hughes, veteran of many hard battles, worried not In the least. He swung In his best curves and the best Morlarty could do was to roll a tender slioot to the box for a death at first. Louden awoko the echoes for miles around with a punch to the left field corner, Shanks' faBt fielding keeping him from going to eecond. Now was the time for the Jungaleers to hammor out their victory, and stop the upwind climb of tho Nationals. Jean Dubuc, pitcher and pinch hitter extraordinary, Btrodo to the pan to measuro strength with Hughes. The veteran was too much for htm, and he succumbed' to three fast, wldo curves. "Win your own gnme," they roared at Willett when he followed the Beau Garcon to the dish. Willett was un equal to tho tusk demnnded, and ho, loo, waved his war club three times be fore rushing to tho club house and the shower bath. Tho Nationals had cleaned up their tenth successive victory. Following Is the score In full: WASIIINOION. AD HO A K UBTKOIT.

Those Mho admire the high juinplns or :)v Cnllforn'an wonder, George Hor lnc, do not know how near the sur geon's knife came to ending tho athletic career of the Stanford man. 'Two or three years ago Ilorlne twisted his knee and in doing this a minute por tion of the ligament was broken off. Occasionally this bothered the jumper and about eight months ago he went to the doctors for atlvlce. Nothlrg would satisfy them except an opera tion and Ilorlne went to Dad Moulton, his athletic mentor, to tela him that he was to undergo an operation on his knee. Ilorlne was liberated, but shortly afterward the knee worried him again and he went to an osteopath for treat ment. 'Then began a long siege, which resulted In the Injured member being entirely cured after about ISO had been expended on It. Whilo tho professors of osteopathy were working on the Jumper's leg thev took great Interest In the wondetful sinews that devel oped so much spring.
