CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. Swell.
we must have been lot of dubs to let
that Cleveland bunch beat US today.
This was the manner in which Cap
tain Delehanty treated his teams &C.
feat when Cleveland. after trailing dur
ing the entire game, came up on even
terms in the eighth inning, and in the
tenth pulled out and won the game, af-
ter everyone thought that the hone
team was hoplessly beaten. If .here
is a team that deserved TO be beaten,
x was the Clevelands, for they played
very amateurish ball in the early part,
making a present of five runs right at
the start.
A youthful twirler by the name of
Hess, who was picked up by Armour
while the team was in Columbus on
Sunday. was put in the box. as he was
the only one left.
Hess Winning Work.
He is lefthander, and pitched good
game when his support is considered.
He was a trife wild at times, but when
he got the ball over the plate. the Sen
ators had trouble in finding it. But in
that first inning. he started all the
trouble when he threw to the score
board on Ryan's attempted bunt, Ryan
going to third. Then to help matters
along, Lajoie, Flick, and Bay allowed
Doyle's pop fly to fall safe between
them, Ryan scoring.
Then Delehanty hit long fly to left
center and Bay, after a long run. was
able to get under it. but allowed the
ball to get away 1t was hard hit
ball. and Del was given credit for two
bases.
Keister came along with a terrific
smash to left field for two bases, and
three runs we're scored in all.
After that the Senators kept bunting
the ball to Hess, as they saw he was
nervous, and they were rewarded later,
when he made another throw to the
score board. Then Bradley and Wood
assisted in getting the bunts. and Hess
was soon able to find the place to
throw the bail.
Nevertheless the Senators made a
record for sacrifice hits, making eight
in all. and still they could not win out.
The Senators were able to get men on
bases in every inning. while Cleveland
was just as fortunate, with the excep-
tion of one inning.
Ryan Assisted Cleveland.
If there is one man on the Cleveland
team that deserves credit for the VIC
tory, 1t is Gochnauer.
Patton allowed himself TO get in a
bad hole in the seventh. when. with two
out. he gave Hess and Bay free passes.
Bradley sent long fly TO center. which
was misjudged by Jimmy Ryan, and
proved to be good for three bases, scor-
ing Hess and Bay. This brought Cleve-
land within two runs of tleing the score.
In the eighth inning. with two men
on bases, due to a wild throw by Patton,
Cochnauer caught one OF Patton's slow
ones and sent it up against the left
field fence, while Flick and Mccarthy
came tearing home with the tieing runs.
In the ninth inning Delehanty sent a
screecher down to deep short. Goch-
nauer MADE a wonderful stop and throw
OF the ball, and Del was caught by three
feet
1t was in the tenth inning that Goch-
nauer again appeared. After Mccarthy
had flied 20 Lee. Gochnauer doubled TO
left field. Wood followed with a slash
ing one toward short, which Ely threw
wild to first, and Gochnauer came home
with the winning run.
When II IS knov-r that Cochnauer
played with a broken finger since the
third inning when he tried TO stop Del
ehanty's terrific liner, his playing is
marvellous.
The game was uninteresting until to-
ward the close. when the crowd woke up
at the same time that the Washingtons
appeared 20 be going to sleep. Patton
can only blame himself for the defeat
and this was due to his over confidence.
His two free passes in the seventh in
ming, after two were out. netted two
runs, and In the eighth inning his wild
throw TO second 10 catch Flick also cost
two runs.
Ali in all. 1t was a bad day for both
pitchers. as Hess allowed the Senators
two runs in the fourth inning on 4 wild
throw and a Wild pitch.
Hickman's Remarkable Stop.
The best play of the game was in the
second inning, when. with the bases full.
Hickman made a wonderful stop of
Doyles grounder. throwing to the plate.
nipplng Ely. and Wood fired the ball
back 10 Hickman in time to catch
Doyle. 1t was fast playing. and got
Cleveland out of a bad hole.
Cleveland was able to get a couple
OF runs I'm the third inning. when Wood
doubled TO left field. Hess beat out
his attempted sacrifice. and when Bay
hunted, Wood scored, and Hess ran on
10 third by good sprinting, beating the
throw Hess came home on Lajoie's out
to Ely.
But. Washington got those two runs
back again in the fourth when Ely bunt-
ed and Hess threw the ball to the score
board, Ely going TO third. Clark singled.
scoring Ely. Patton sacrificed and on
