Special Dispatch to The Star
CLEVELAND Ohio, May 13.-Remarl-
able was the welcome given Garland Stahl
and his team mates at Durham Park yes
terday, and although the visitors lost the
game through Jacobsens wildness in the
ninth, they were vociferously cheered as
they marched through the gates to their
bus and again by departing crowds on the
streets. With the possible exception of
the greeting given old Cy Young, after ten
years of splendid service here he returned
as the champion pitcher of the Boston
team, no player ever received so tumul-
tuouS an ovation as was accorded Manager
Stahl when he first took his place at bat
The entire crowd rose to him, and from
grandstand and bleachers went up such a
shout as might have hailed home captain
on the last day of campaign in which he
had led his team into first place. The
same spirit of cordiality prevailed through
out the game, it asserting itself most We
hemently when the visitors took the lead
in the fifth inning and again when they
tied the score in the eighth. 1t was much
in evidence when on his second time at bat
Capt. Stahl reached out for one of Joss
curves and drove the ball high and dry
over left field fence for a home run. Two
magnificent one-handed stops and throws
by Hill were cheered to the echo. The ex-
element which had prevailed from the
time the first ball was pitched reached it's
highest pitch in the ninth. with the leader
ship of the league depending on the result
of the work of both pitchers, who were at
their keenest tension. After Stahfs men
had been retired in the ninth and Jackson
had been retired Bay raped out a clean
double. Flick s out put the fast little man
on third Then up came Lajoie, and, as
expected, Jacobsen purpoSely gave him his
base. On the first ball pitched to Bradley
Larry started on a dog trot for second

the fieet-footed Bay to glide home from
third. kittredge refused to be enticed into
the trap and held to the ball He also sig
nailed Jacobsen for wide ones and Bradley
walked down to first. Turner had done
nothing with the stick, and an easy out
was expected, but Umpire Mccarthy. be-
hind the bat, kept up his singsOng Ball
one, Ball two Ball three"
The visitors were shouting objections and
half the visitors were joining in the same
cry when the fourth ball came up. 1t cut
the plate but may have been little high
Ball four bawled Mccarthy, and Bay
scampered home with the winning run. 1t
was an unfortunate ending to a thrilling
game and 1t is safe to assert that a vast
majority of the crowd would have preferred
a Washington victory to a game won by a
forced-in run, especially when the umpire's
judgment was so generally disputed. The
mighty welcome given the visitors seemed

ing on to third when Nil muffed Hils
throw. Flick walked ana stole. Larry was
easy. but Bradley's double which Huelsman
frmbled scored two. Stahls great home
run started the visitors scoring, and they
passed the Maps in the fifth, when Knolls
fine hit was followed by Kits sacrifice.
Jacobsen's double and a smashing hit to
center by Jones. Cleveland moved up along
side in the sixth when Carr tripled over
Jones' head and scored on Buelow's single.
In the seventh Flick's triple and Lajoies
long fly to HuelSman put the Maps in the
lead The cheering that greeted this run
was forgotten in the roar that went up
when doubles by Stahl and Huelsman in
the eighth once more put the visitors on
even terms in the eighth. With Mil out in
the ninth, Joss hit Knoll with the ball. but
Kit flied to Bay and Knolls attempt to
steal was fatal Cassidy made vigorous
objection to one of the strikes on which he
was called out in the sixth. Mccarthy ar
gued with him for while and then ordered
him from the game. Nil was switched over
to short and Mullen went to second. Aside
II ON its unfortunate termination it was
magnificent game and was magnifcently
played. The Washington players were WIS.,

ception. and despite the three errors show
