SPLIT EVEN WITH CLEVELAND.
Unfortunate Errors and Timely Hitting
Were the Cause.

Abbey pitched for the Washingtons in the
first game with Cleveland yesterday afternoon
and he pitched creditably, but the only one whom
he sent to first on balls scored, and this one run
was Just enough to defeat Washington. Cleve-
land made another run off Abbeys tumble,
which let a runner reach first. The local hits
were very scarce. Clarkson was in the box and
was very wild. sending six TO first, but hits
failed to follow and none of them were scored.

killen pitched mastery game in the second
contest and had good control OF the ball One
OF those given first on balls scored. The other
run was obtained through Hoy's misjudging
Cuppy's fly. Hoy complains that the local
center field is hard place to judge balls. He
says: 'All the visiting players complain loud and
long about the poor grounds here. Other out
felders have misjudged fly balls repeatedly"
The eun shines in his ewes and hits cannot
be judged as they can be from the press box,
where ones eyes are away from the sun.
Hoy is one of the best FEEDERS i'll the country
and if his complaint is just certainly it should
be remedied before he is subjected to continual
nsgging.
Richardson put up grand game at short and
the whole team played with snap and life.
There is no reason whya whole basketful of
victories should not be garnered
