the season in Washington with the Ma
tionals yesterday afternoon and went away
runless the score being to o in favor of
the locals.
Tom Hughes was on the rubber for the
Nationals and he gave apt illustration of
a cat playing with a mouse. The Blues reg
istered ten hits off Hughes delivery. but
from all appearances the biugles were gifts,
pure and simple Time after time Hughes
would let up in his delivery and allow the
Clevelands to get one or more runners on
the sacks and then buckle down to work.
with the result that the batters flied or
struck out. Eight batsmen struck out and
ten runners were left on the bases. Hughes
had almost perfect control and his benders
were breaking just right. state of things
that put the tall boy in good humor and he
was joking with the opposing batsmen con-
tinually.
Opposed to Hughes on the rubber was
youngster by the name of West who halls
from the Three l League. He was wild hit
ting two and passing four and he mixed
these gifts up so disastrously with the bin
g,es of the Nationals that runs crossed the

scoring six runs on eight hits.
Back OF the pitchers. the fielding was of
high class, both sides pulling of sensational
stops or catches. Charley Jones turned back
Bay in the first inning when he tried to go
from first to third on StOyalps single to
center. the formers throw being of the
copyrighted-Jones order. Jones also cap
tured several hard flies. Turner did the best
work for the visitors. Joe Stanley's batting
divided honors with Hughes pitching, his
double scoring three runs and his single
pushing Mil to third John Anderson was
the unlucky boy yesterday, West giving
him terrific smash on the tnstep with
downshoot and he had to retire, Stanley
going into right and Huelsman back to his
old stamping ground in left.
Congalton and Barbeau, recently of the
Columbus club. played right and second,
respectively for the Clevelands. but neither
did work out OF the ordinary
The Clevelands started after Hughes in
the first inning most savagely, getting two
singles, but Jones' great throw to Mil kept
the runners from crossing the plate Tom
struck his gait thereafter and it was easy
sailing. In the second the Nationals got
three runs over the rubber. Anderson was
hit by the pitcher and Knoll ran for him.

his little roller. and both runners were safe

Stanley then caught an outshoot on the end
of his bat and it went to right for two
bases. Knoll Stahl and Nil scoring. Stan

homer of the day before but was not hit
with as much force. Stanley went too far
off second and Clarke nabbed him with a
good throw to Turner Heyden then struck
outand Hughes flied to Bay.
In the fourth the Nationals added another
run TO their score. After Huelsman had
flied TO Bay, Stahl got a base on balls and
went to third as BaFbeau threw Mis-
roller wild to first. Mil then stole second

Bay. Heyden died at first sensational
pickup and throw by Turner TO Stovall.

with a fly TO Jones. but Barbeau singled
10 left. Hess then struck out but Clarke
got a base on balls. West placed a clean
