By WILLIAM FEETNot since the

days of Jake in JS05 have theNationals won three games in a rowwhile on a Western trip but the victoryover the Chicago White Sox yesterdaystakes the third straight and at therate the boys are hitting the pace nowhome fans have high hopes of tuckingaway a few more wins before Boss Me

Aleers henchmen return to the CapitalIn New York during the fall of lOOT

when tbe Highlanders were going poorly the Nationals under Cantillon dueprincipally to some wonderful pitching-on the part of Walter Johnson coppedthree straight but no such record hasbeen hoisted in the West for five years

When the Nationals started away fromthe Capital last jnonth after a fine burst

f speed at home and won the first gameagainst tIle New York Yankees everything looked bright for a great tripThen came three straight defeats andthe scene shifted to Cleveland where buttwo games were played Washingtonlanding one of them The Detroit Tigersgrabbed three out of four but Fridayanti Saturday McAleers hopefuls van-quished the White Sox

Counting up this means five won andseven oat on the present trip with sixmore games to come against the tailenders The Nationals hook up with theWhite Sox and tomorrow andthen they journey to St Louis for aseries with the Browns

On form the Nationals should capture-at least one out of the remaining twofrom Chicago and unless the St LouisBrowns take a big brace three victoriesout of the four should come our waywhich will give us almost an even breakfor the Western invasion Then comesfour games in Boston against the RedSox and only best quality of ballwill enable McAleers tribe to break evenin the city of beans

The foregoing Is of course all dopebased on the way the team is showing atthe present thn yet it seems reasonable-to the writers way of thinking provid-ing of course no illluck hits the team

Everybody was glad to see Doc Relsling get away with his game yesterdayThere isnt a Jiarder worker on the clubthan Reisling nor a more popular playerThe dentist promises to be one of ourmost useful citizens before the final season closes More power to him

In another column is published the firstlocal picture of Doc Moyer theYoungstown twirler and Alnsmithcrack New England League catcher bothof whom will join the Nationals whentheir respective league seasons close

Mike Kahoe in speaking of Ainsmithdeclares that he the best minor leaguebackstop he has ever seen and Mike hasbeen in baseball for more than twentyyears

Kid Elborfeld during his enforced absence due to a split finger has acted inthe capacity of scout and McAIcer senthim to Youngstown Ohio from Cleve-land last week to look over Doe Moyerthe twirler Elberfeld reported thathad seen the young man in action twiceand urged to grab him at onceas ho Moyer is ripe enough forfast company Needless to say all arrangements were completed yesterdayand Moyer will be given a trial late thisfall and also taken on the training tripnext winter
