| another victory for Washington by to A.
His fielding once more shone out brilliant
ly and was a potent factor in sweeping base
runners off the lines and preventing Mack s
men from winning. With an even break
in the fielding and two hits more than the
visitors to their credit, it was somewhat
difficult for the 1929 spectators to realize
just why Washington should secure two
runs more than the White Elephants. Those
assigned to holding a post-mortem over
the contest were equally in the dark until
they dissected Cassidy's playing. Then it
was case of giving honor where honor was
due. and Joe Cassidy got it.

Hoffman. Thus one run was saved.
Twice in the earlier innings Cassidy made
great one-hand catches of throws by Hey
don. and by quick turns put out men who
were trying to steal second base. One of
these plays also prevented runner from
scoring.
AS there was no such remarkable playing
or the chance for such when the Athletics
were In the field they lost Hedley twirled
for six innings and five runs were made off
him. One Of the tallies was a home run
into Columbia avenue by Huelsman, who
later made two singles. and the other four
were largely contributed on the southerners

A little shower at this stage threatened to
stop hostilities, but a rainbow appeared just
