The closing game Of the series between
the Nationals and Clevelands. at American
League Park yesterday afternoon. was an
other easy win for the visitors, the score
being 7 to IN their favor
Case Patten began pitching for the Ma
tionels. but he had little speed and the
Clevelands hammered the ball all over the
lot. getting FIVE hits. which resulted in four
runs. Manager Stahl then ordered Mr..
patten to the bench and young Adams took
up the work of trying to hold the score
within reasonable bounds. The Texan did
lis best. which at least Is commendable
and the result was but three more runs for
tie Blues in the next eight innings. In ad-
dltion to pitching well, Adams laced out
two nice singles.
The massive Bernhard was on the rubber
for the Clevelands and working in his usual
easy style, held the Nationals safe all the
way. The locals secured eight hits, but it
appeared to the spectators that majority
Of them were secured through the good
graces of the big twirler
Back OF the twirlers, the Blues ffelded
perfectly, going through the nine innings
without an error. while the Nationals slip-
ped up four times, one being a fly ball
knocked out of Anderson's hands through
hickman colliding with him. no one having
brains enough to call out which PLAYER
should take the catch
outside OF Turner's all-around work AZ
snort, there was nothing brilliant pulled off
by the Blues. while for the Nationals Cas-
sidy. Hill and StahI made exceptional
plays. Hunter Hill chased to the stands
ntck or third and. leaning away over the
T rs pulled down high foul from
bradleys bat In the sixth inning In the
second inning Cassidy stopped a grounder
from Jacksons bat. back of second that
resulted in force out of Bernhard at sec
ono. and Stahi made several oue-handed
catches of badly thrown balls that saved
errors for Hill and Hickman All these
plays We're heartily applauded, notwith-
standing that the contest was a tiresome
one from local viewpoint.
The Clevelands got away in splendid style
IN the first inning, five hits. an error by
Hickman and a base balls resulting in
four runs. Adams retired the visit"-s ~
order in the second, but two hits and an
error In the third added two additional
runs to their score. Bradley hit toward left
and Hin made a nice stop. aGt threw wild
to Stahl and the batter took second.
Turner sacrificed Bradley TO third and
Cars single To right sent him over the
plate. Carr took second on Stovalls out at
first. and then rushed home Wilson'S
single to right.
In this inning. Heyden plunked clean
single into center and Adams followed suit
into left. Cassidy struck out, but HIS
line single into left drove Heyden home.
The visitors seventh and last tally was
recorded IN the fifth inning. Turner was
Lit by the pitcher and was promptly sacri-
feed to second by Charley Carr. Stovall
then laced a single into center and Turner
scampered over the plate. But two hits
were made of Adams in the last four in
uiugs and ciphers were hung up by the
Blues in regular order.
