The Washington fans who were able to
| attend the early game at American League
| Park yesterday afternoon between the Ma
| tionals and New Yorks witnessed most
celebrating contest on account of the heavy
| batting. the locals winning out in the last
| inning by the score of to 5. On account of
| the game being started at o'clock the at
| tendance was kept down very materially.
In the opening game of the series with
New York last Tuesday 1t was thought the
great CHESHIRE was given about the worst
| drubbing of the season, but yesterday the
Nationals did even better against the spit
ball artist. getting thirteen safe hits for
total of seventeen bases, fast and clean
fielding keeping the score down. Hickman
and Huelsman led the batting, with three
singles each, and Mil was the only local
player who failed to get hit. Even Case
Patten laced out a double and single.
After the Highlanders had tied up the score
in the ninth inning Griffith went on the rub
ber but he had to face the big four and
the necessary run was pushed over the plate
with only one out.
Stahl, Cassidy and Heyden made star
plays for the locals while Chesbro and Ell
berfeld were the leaders in the field for the
Yankees In the third inning Heyden turned
back both Keller and Yeager. who were
trying to pilfer second. and his throws were
so accurate as to make the runners look
foolish In the sixth inning Yeager hit
high foul that was coming down in the seats
back of first base, but Manager Stahl
rushed over and. Notwithstanding that he
bumped into the railing with a thud, pulled
down the ball with one hand as 1t was about
to alight on the head of one of the specta-
tors. 1t was one of the star catches OF the
season, and the beholders cheered Justify
for several minutes. In the same inning
Chesbro rushed almost to the third base
line and captured a pop fly from Stahl's bat
with one hand. Notwithstanding that both
Mcclure and Yeager were only inches from
him on the dead run when he completed the
play. In the eighth Stahl had another
hard-luck story. as Elberfeld ran over back
of second, picked up his grounder and got
it to first ahead of him. Both these turns
at the bat should have resulted in hits with
little luck which would have given Stahl
four safe ones on the day.
In addition to batting timely, Hickman's
second-base play was the feature of the
afternoon, accepting all of his twelve
chances without an error, several being ex-
tremely hard.
Jacobsen was on the rubber for the Ma
tionals when the game started. but the

Patten then came to the relief. holding the

hits that tied up the score for few min

that gloom as thick as cloud held over
the park.
