Yesterdays National League Games.


The Nationals played another good game
yesterday afternoon. and In an exciting
finish defeated the Browns by the score of
to 1.
Not to be outdone by Hughes Sir Will
liam Wolfe gave a masterful exhibition of
the twrler's art, allowing the Browns but
three hits. We give them Understanding
titles when they win and call them other
names when they lose. In addition to
pitching well, Wolfe got in front of two
line drives and checked the speed Of the
ball just enough to allow Col Cassidy to
run over scoop up the ball and nail the
batter at first. Glade also pitched beau
tiful game for seven innings, striking out
the opposing batsmen with such regularity
as to make his performance monotonous.
but in the eighth he blew up. and the
Nationals won the game right there and
then.
Back of Wolfe the Nationals played SEN
sationally, missed roller by Mullen being
the only misplay But this misplay looked
as big as a mountain for time. as 1t re-
suited in a run for the Browns. and for
long time this lonesome tally was in a
fair way to win the game.
The sensational fielding started in the
first inning when Mil and Heyden chased
over to the Nationals bench after Van
Zant's high fly and almost collided. the
first named finally. getting his paws on the
ball and holding on to 1t. 1t was a nervy
exhibition and gained rounds of applause
In the fifth inning Stahl had play Of the
same sort, but without interference. He
chased Sugdens high foul clear to the
Browns bench and caught the ball while
%ho hnte rGh
about the ground. In the seventh Huels-
man chased away in toward second after
Frisk's short fly, and finally closed on the
sphere about foot from the ground
In the closing inning two swell plays
bobbed up, Knoll chasing Van Zant's long
fly a block and finally pulling down the
ball as it was sailing over his head. Then
KOehler hit fierce liner directly over
Wolfe's head. Sir William stuck up both
hands broke the force of the ball and then
Cassidy dashed in. picked up the sphere
and fell on second. making the third out
of the inning and closing the game.
For the Browns there was nothing doing
in the way of sensational fielding, II Wal
la ce's bad throwing to first can be excepted
He had five chances to throw batters out at
first and made three wild losses, one OF
which resulted in a run
Neither side scored In the initial four in
nings and the Browns were the first to
break the ice hanging up their solitary tally
in the fifth inning. With two out Wallace
hit "a bounder toward right that Mullen got
in front of but the ball rolled between his
legs into right field. Gleason then tore Off a
line fly into right center for two bases and
before the ball could be returned Wallace
had scooted over the plate.
In the eighth the Nationals got busy with
their bats and did some of the most timely
hitting of the season. Wolfe. the first man
up, was given a groan as he struck out
Mil did better, sending a line single into
left. and Jones followed suit. Stahl fol
lowed with a roller to Wallace, but the lat
ter threw wild to Van Zant and Mil crossed
the plate with the tying run, Jones going
to third. Knoll. not to be outdone. hit a
beauty single into left and Jones crossed
the plate. Glade was on tenterhooks by
this time and pulled off wild pitch that
moved Stahl and Knoll up base. Gen.
Huelsman then walked to the plate and on
the second ball pitched smashed line
single into left that sent Stahl and Knoll
over the rubber. Mullen flied out and Sas-
sdy died at first on his roller to Wallace.
1t was a great rally. and the 1900 specta-
tors were on their feet throughout the in
ming. cheering like mad.
