NE\\ YORK, January 8 —The Chicago Nationals have entered the hunt for pitchers, which is the all-absorbing task just now in the senior circuit. They have taken Jacobs and Blake from Seattle Perhaps they had them lined up all of last season, for it would not be very hard to take anything away from the guardianship of a Killefer. when one of the family manages Scattle and the other bosses the Cubs. Now and_then a breeze waited from the northwest has told of a good _game pitched by Jacobs, but there hasn't been so much boosting for him as there was jor Kremer, who was grabbed by Pittsburgh from Oakland. Kremer won 25 zames aud lost 16 in_his circnit.
