the local outfit. as they played good ball
In both games. the veteran Cy Young hold
Ing them safe in the first. Young Falken-
berg went wrong in three innings of the
second, and that was enough to hand the
contest over to the champions. The
Nationals are charged with but one error in
the two games and that was on a hard
grounder by Cassidy. and was not costly
MT. Cyrus Young has pitched many good
games in this city. but it is doubtful
whether he ever did as we'll as yesterday

appeared to be using his head altogether,
serving over great speed for the Youngsters

for the siuggers. The slow ball made
hickman: Anderson, huelsman and Stahl
look foolish.
Delaware Jack" Townsend also pitched
