ATHLETICS BARELY
BEAT NAT |ONALS
Plank and Patten Pitched
Puzzling Game.
P NIX HIT DECIDED DIT
Murphy's Pop Fly Back of Twirler Was
Responsible for Only Run of
the Game
P uNK HIT DECIDED 1T

That fatal bugaboo, inability to hit the
uonals yesterday Score, Athletics, /;
Washington, 0.
Two left-handed singers, Plank and
Patten, were pitted against each other.
Both of them had the batters guessing,
and only a hit of the punkiest sort per-
mitted the Athletics to score the only
run of the game. That came in the
fourth inning. After two were on,
Beef Trust Seybold clouted one out to
right field that rolled far enough for
him to get to third. Then came Muir
phys sneaky, onery little pop fly that
won the game. The ball fell between
Patten and Mullen, where the second
baseman could not quite get to it in
time. He made a beautiful one-hand
pickup, but the throw was made from a
difficult position and was too low. How
ever. it is probable that Murphy would
have beaten out the throw. During
these happenings Seybold crossed the
plate.
The Nationals would have scored in
the seventh inning but for fast double
play by Cross. Murphy, and Davis.
Knoll led off with clean single, but
HuelSman hit to Cross, and both rum
ners were doubled up Mullen followed
with double, which would have scored
Knoll
Notwithstanding the fact that there
were four errors, some fast fielding was
done by both teams

Matches and FIGHTS
In Boxing Circles
Storm Broke Up Carter-Lewis Scrap
Tommy Lowe and Kid Stein-Managers
Should Be Careful

Alas for those who thirsted for gorel
The fight between Rube Carter and
Danny Lewis, which was scheduled to
take place at a resort down the river
on Monday night, did not take place. In
stead lot of water, lightning, wind and
generally tempestuous and uniting
weather kept the good ship upon which
the gladiators were to sail until a late
hour, and the sports of the countryside
who were to furnish the incentive to the
CORY spectacle with their loose change
stayed at home.
Also, Eddie Crowley did not have n
chance to take punches from the mys-
terious mauler who did things to Danny
Lewis the week before, and altogether
it was a sore and disgusted crowd
When Carter and Lewis will meet IS
unknown at present, but they expect
to get together in the near future
When they do Lewis will probably get
the money, as he is a much more ex-
perienced man, but Carter has been
learning from hard knocks, is thorough
ly game and always ready to fight
therefore those who are next to the To-
cation and see the scrap will get a run
for their money.
Tommy Lowe is looking for matches
and will fight anything from a heavy
weight to case of malaria Johnny
OConnor. his cheerful and optimistic
manager. says he has matched Lowe
with Kid Stein and that horrid specta-
Gle will be witnessed by the enthusiastic
masses of East Baltimore in the hall of
the Nonpareil Athletic Club. Lowe is
keeping himself in good condition, and
While Stein is quite a handy youngster
he will have to hump himself to get
the decision.
Most of the Washington managers go
off about half cooked when it comes to
arranging the business details of their
matches. and when they get to the bat
tie ground do not know what style of
fighting is to prevail. Johnny O'Connor
and Ristie Leonard have both been
against this proposition, and the next
time they sign their men for a scrap
should have the style nominated in the
bond, so to speak, along with for
felt that will prevent some galius club
manager changing the whole thing at
the last moment.
Most of the Washington boxers are
husky boys who dote on the one-arm-
free game, and when they get against
the shifty, clean-break boxers from
somewhat at sea. This is due to the
fact that there is little fighting around
this city and they do not have much
chance to get the practical lessons of
nents go into real contests every week
or so. It is to be hoped that this in
fighting proposition will be more care
fully remembered when Lowe, Lewis,
Crowley, Baker, and the other ambitious
youths OF oUr fair city are pitted against
outsiders who can outbox them but
probably cannot stand the gaff as well,
and will insist upon the infghting be-
ing barred.
