Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-08-12

In the second game there was nothing
notable turned UP until the fifth inning. as
both Patten and Sudhoff were performing
brilliantly on the rubber. The fifth inning
is worth a description, as the Nationals got
out of a big hole when the Browns were at
the bat, and scored their first run when
they had their turn with the willow. Koch
Ter led off with fly into right that Hick-
man and Anderson permitted to drop be-
tween them for fear of Il collision. They

Jones' Timely Single.
For the locals, Anderson and Huelsman
persisted at first. Stahl hit roller to short
and reached second as Wallace made an
other bad throw to first. Charley Jones
tore off a timely single into center and
Stahl scored.
All the play of the game centered in the
sixth inning, and it was enough to leave
a bad taste in ones mouth for several
days Sudhoff was safe on Cassidy's tumble

flying out to Stahl and Jones respectively.
A Great Batting Rally.
Nothing daunted by this good lead of the
Browns, the Nationals came right back
with a batting rally that sent Sudhof to
the stable and fell just one run short of
tieing the score. After Kittredge had died
at first, Patten was given a pass to first.
Cassidy then singled to right and Hill tore
off a timely double into left. both Patten
and Cassidy crossing the plate. Buchannon
then appeared the firing line and Hick-
man proceeded to make him uncomfortable
