out by to ). AS usual, the two teams
played another sensational game. many
catches. stops and hits being directly re-
sponsible for the stopping of runs or the
making thereof. Centerfielder Jimmy Ryan
couldn't stand prosperity or the praise
| showered on him for Thursdays work may
have unnerved him: at any rate, he had
three misplays. all of which were costly.
AS Ryan had covered almost all of the out
| field In Thursdays game ne was allowed
to come almost into the infeld yesterday
for pop fly that Coughlin should have
taken. and as result he dropped the ball.
But THIS IS the uncertainty of the game, and
Ryan will have to lose many games and
drop numerous flies before the Washington
fans will desert him.
Jack Townsend was on the rubber for
the Senators and the lad did good work for
seven innings. In the eighth Townsend
seemed TO lose his effectiveness and as a
result enough hits We're made by Cleveland

sensational order. while Pickering Brad

phenomenal order
Both teams scored in the first inning, the
senators getting two. Ryan and Wolver-
ton had been retired when Wright decided
to pass Delehanty to first on balls, pre-
ferrlng keister to pitch to. This decision
proved fatal. as the Baltimore lad whipped
