and 1t was clear case of Charley Smith
first and the others nowhere.
Four scattered hits were all the Napoleons
could make In nine innings. and when the
batting ability of Lajoie, Flick, Stovall.
Congalton, Rossman, Jackson and Bemis is
taken into consideration the work of Smith
classes up as sensational. Charley worked
his usual cool game. taking his time In
moving around the box. and the shooting of
ducks was a continuous performance for
the visitors. In addition to pitching a mas
terfui game Smith had the honor OF making
the first hit registered Off Bernhard and
through him the batting rally was started
in the sixth inning.
Bernhard also performed well, not a hit
being made In the first five innings by the
Nationals. but in the sixth and eighth his
delivery was safely located and all the runs
scored. But five hits were registered of
Bernhard, but unluckily for him they were
punched in two innings. A passed bail. a
mum by Jackson in left field and wild
pitch also helped along the Cleveland's I'M
doing.
Back OF the pitchers the fielding. for the
most part, was of the regulation order. very
few hard chances developing during the
nine innings of play. The throwing of War
ner to second and his support given there
by Altizer had a nice look to the specta-
tors. and the only sensational play of the
game bobbed up in the eighth inning with
two out. Bemis hit a fierce grounder to-

first in time to head OF the batter. The
drive would have carried the ball to the
fence had 1t gotten by Cross unobstructed-
The spectators were not slow to give both
Cross and AltiZer the glad hand.
After both sides had hung up rows OF
ciphers for five innings, the Nationals got
busy in the sixth and chased three runs
over the home plate. Smith led Off with
nice single into center and took second on
Mills neat sacrifice. Jones followed with
O line single into left. but Smith played
1t safe and pulled up at third. Jones
quickly stole second. and then Altizer was

with slow bounder to short. and while
Turner was throwing Lave out at first
Smith dashed home. Bemis then allowed

the passed ball Jones scored and AL

a nice fly into left that Jackson muffed and
AltiZer scored. Hickman closed the in
ming by forcing out Anderson at second on

closed the inning with a fly to Jackson.
The only time the Clevelands had a
chance to score was in the second Lajoie

a sacrifice and then to third on out at

Stahl and there was nothing doing in the
run-scoring line.
