It w: the same old holiday throng, ever alert for tip on a long shot, just longing to unload some of their Christmas money.

BURNS HUSTLES MATT HOGAN. rea A link of friendship apparently exists between Tommy Burns and Billy Ma- ane’s sprinter Matt Hogan. Matt will quit with other riders in the saddle, but not with Tommy. In a ding-dong battle with Jarreticre d’Or, Jim Hale and Esh- crin, Burns landed first with Hogan by h. 2 length. Orfeo, from the Macdonough stable, served ing hot at cven money, was the next favorite to go down.

AND PASTIMES LURE THOUSANDS OUT OF DOORS AMERICANS DOWN THE NATIONALS |Win Out by Making Three Tallies in Fifth Inning. Chesbro Strikes Out Eight Men, but Is Unsteady at Times. The Americans and Nationals operated against each other yesterday afternoon at Kecreation Park for the first time in this city. A rattling good ball game resulted vom this clash beiween the giants of the diamond, and the outcome was always liabie to change. As it was, the Ameri- cans just nosed out ahead and landed with the goods, 3 to 2. A big attendance took advantage of the fine weather and eomfortably fillel the stands and bleachers. Both teams presented rather a patched up front, and every avallable player was brought Into action. The Nationals had two of their pitchers, Donovan and Tannehill, in the field, while Tommy Leahy worked be- Lind the bat. The Americans were not so badly off. but they had no second baseman, so Johnny Burns of the local team was an- He played in fine form and secured a couple of difficult ones that looked lfke real base hits. Leahy was not quite so successful be- hind the bat for the Nationals. He had Just'a mild attack of some sort of mer- vous ailment and made two errors, one of which was good for a run. At the bat Tommy hit out one good single and stole | a base, later coming in with one of the Nationals' tallies. Joss and Chesbro oppesed each other on the slab, and both men pitched some ball. Joss was the steadler of the two, but Chesbro made up for amy little wildness by striking out eight men. Five hits were made off each twirler. They were kept pretty well scattered all along the route of battle. Tannehill, in right fleld for the Nation- als, was feeling {ll before the game, but as there were no more men on the bénch Pe was forced to get in and work: He could hardly move around in the field and dropped one fly, besides allowing several runners to steal bases whenever he did make a catch. The Nationals were the first to get a run. In the fourth Beckley drew a pass and Crawford sacrificed. Ritchie hit a torrid grounder at Cross, who allowed It to pass him, and Beckley came around to the plate. The Americans secured all their points in the fifth.
