CLEVELAND, Ohio. August 21.--So far
as victories the Nationals and Napoleons
divided honors yesterday but in the way
of glory Stahl's men were many points
ahead of the erstwhile league leaders. 1t
is doubtful If on the Nationals own
grounds Tom Hughes was ever given as
enthusiastic an ovation as was accorded
him at the end of the first game. which
Stahl's men won by the topheavy score
OF . to a. and in which Long Tom allowed
the Maps but two tiny singles, both from
the bat of Jimmy Jackson.
As the game went on and Nap after Nap
was sent to the bench the cheers for
Hughes increased in volume. until on his
final appearance at the bat the 6 S62 spec
tatOrs arose and cbeered him as enthusi-
astically as If he had been on Lajoie's
payroll and had just waited the hated
Athletics into dreamland. Only three OF
the NapoleOns reached first and but one
got as far as second
Jackson opened Cleveland's half of the
first with a scratch hit. but left at
the post. Not another man had a chance
to get Chummy with Stahl until the
eighth. when Bradley walked He, too,
was left. as Turner struck out. Carr foul
ed to Knoll and Buelow flied to right
Jackson beat out an infield rap in the
ninth after Hala had flied to Jones and
took second on Cassidy's high throw, but
there he remained. while Bay fOuled to
Kittridge and Flick flied to Stahl.
The visitors won the game before it was
five minutes old. Cassidy hit the second
ball offered up by Otto Hess and drove it
over the left field fence, one of the long
est hOmesrun hits ever made on the Dun
ham avenue grounds. The take him out
element became boisterous. but Larry,
who was on the bench, shook his head.
Hill got lucky hit and Hickman a bad
one. BradIey's tumble of Anderson's
roller filled the corners. Hess then passed
Knoll, forcing Hill home. Stahl raped
a beautiful single to center. scoring Hick-
man and Anderson. Bay muffed Jones
fly. Knoll scoring.
Hess gave the distress signal and Halla,
the Oklahoma recruit, replaced him. Flick
made a startling catch of Kites liner and
Hughes famed. but Cassidy's single sent
Stahl over the plate. Cassidy stole. but
Halla threw out Hill. and the score-card
boy hung up the figure for the first time
liz many days.
With one out in the fourth Anderson
walked and scored on Knoll's fine triple
into the right field pocket. Stahls second
hit of the game sent Knoll home. The
visitors ninth run was in the fifth. With
two out. Hill passed and got around
on singles by Hickman and Anderson.
When the second game began, there was
almost universal demand from the
stands that Tom Hughes go in the box
again for Washington. So vocferous was
the crowd that Manager Stahl seemed in
clined for the moment TO yield He held
little whispered conversation with Tom and
the ball twirler appeared willing enough,
but a moment later started for the dressing
room and was soon in street attire watch
ing the game from the grand stand.
Townsends work in this game WAS good
but Bernhards was better. Larry's chum
appeared to better advantage than he has
before this season. although the Nationals
one run in the first doomed large on the
score board until the seventh.
Cassidy began the game by an infield
drive which Bernhard felded in fine form.
Hill shot a safety to right. only beating
F'lick's throw TO the base by the fraction of
a step. Hickmans single to center put
Hunter on third and he came home on An
dersons long fly to Jackson. This proved
To be the Nationals only run Anderson
singled in the fourth but persisted pill
fering. In the sixth Cars muff saved
Townsend and CasSidys artistic sacrifice
put the pitcher on second, but Hill was
easy for Stovall and Hickman fouled. An
sacrificed but Stahl fouled TO Carr and
Jones to Bradley. The crowd groaned
when. with the score tie, Hill was passed
in the ninth. but there was no cause for
fear. Hickman forced Hunter, Bradley to
Turner. Anderson flied to Carr, and Knoll
to Flick
Although. as in the first game. Jackson
opened with Il single, nothing happened on
the Napoieons' side until the seventh then
Flick shot single over second. Stovall
tried TO kill the ball and flied to Jones.
Eradley's safety put Flick on third and he
scored Turner'S hit 20 left. This run
tied the score and was the Napoleons' first
run in twenty-six innings OF play. Lucky
George StovaH began the ninth with
slashing double. With Bradley at bat Hey
don darted back few feet for a passed
ball and then threw over HIS head Sto-
