Glorious Day for Washington.

Apart from these diverting but terrify-
ing incidents IL was a glorious day for
our brave boys. Kitson pitched splen-
did ball. and the second inning was the
only one IN which he was hit twice. IN
the eighth round he eased up. and after
sIamming an inshoot into the anatomy
of Joe Yeager let Williams smash
home run to center.
Washington's fielding was brilliant.
Nil and Cross each made two highly
sensational stops and throws. which
drew the applause OF the New York
fans. When an opposing player does
that he is going strong. SChlafy and
St2hl were also on the job with both
feet.

NEW YORK, May 9.-In what was, in
some ways. one Of the finest exhibitions
on record of bum work IN a major
league by two good teams, Washington
whipped New York TO a standstin yes
terday by 10 3.
Washingtons mistakes were In base
running. New York in fielding In the
fi-st inning. Jones undertook to steal
home ana managed to get caught be-
tween bases. In the same inning An
derson went into a trance and was
nabbed between first and second. Mil
tried to steal in the second inning when
he had little chance and was easily
wiped out
Cross Knocked Out.
In the third round Lave Cross cracked
a double to left. then made the mistake
OF running into Chase's elbow at first
He fell as If shot, and many feared
that he had suffered heart failare. He
was dragged back TO fist and IL was
several minutes before ne could take
notice. 1t was an absolutely perfect
knockout blow, one that would make
the clean-hitting Fitzsimmons green
with envy. However. when Anderson
avenged he cruel jab with a double,
Lave scurried home in a surprisingly
energetic manner
Now comes the recital Of Kitscn's
wild performance on the bags. In the
sixth inning he whacked a triple 10
left, bot failed TO touch first base.
There was where Chase proved himself
Suileless. open-handed youth. In
stead of keeping quiet until kitsOn had
reached third and thea tagging him

roar right away. before Kitson reached

There stood Mil on the initial bag, and
our brave pitcher once more resumed
his often interrupted jaunt to second.
He isn't there yet. for Kleinow had time
enough 70 serve out couple Of larceny
sentences, recovered the ball and threw
out the bewildered slab artist. who
