The second game of the season, played at
American League park between the Ma
tionals and Athletics. went to the Quakers
by the score of 3 to g.
When ball team fails to hit an oppos-
ing pitcher the aggregation looks bad, and
the Nationals certainly appeared very
''punky'' yesterday in seven of the nine
innings Manager Mack sent young Dygert
to the box to twirl the game, as the cold
wind was too much for Coakiey, whom he
thought of sending in. and the locals got a
good start as a result. scoring two runs on
base on balls and two singles The
Quaker managers nut factory" began
working at once. and he quickly substituted
Waddell for Dygert. and then the troubles
of the Nationals began. They got single
in the second. another in the fifth and
double in the SIXTH which resulted In a run.
At other times 1t seemed to be a continuous
procession of the players from the bench
to the plate and back again. Waddell
seemed to have all his old-tlme speed and
curves, and when this eccentric boy is In
hrst-class shape he Is conceded to be the
premier twirler of the country.
Sudhoff began twirling for the locals and
for two innings Wee Willie" looked very
good. but in the third Schreck and Hart
sci plastered him for doubles and Manager
Stahl jerked him off the rubber and sent
kitson to the firing line. The ex-Detroiter
appeared to have plenty of speed, but he
could not get the curves to work right,
and he was hit pretty hard. the hitting look
ing more formidable ON account of the
weak attempts of the locals in facing the
''Rube.''
Back of the twlrle-s the visitors went the
route without a miShap, while the only
error of the locals was a wild throw to
nv "a fcha Foil
grasp high bounding roller from NJ Cross
bat. but as the runner was at first when
the ball got to the shortstop. the latter is
given a hit. There was almost a total
absence of sensational fielding the one
bright spot being a double play which was
pulled off in Jig time by Mil, Schalfy and
Stahl. Lave Cross played another nice
game at third. and in addition, his single
IN the first inning sent Mil over the rub
Der with the first run. From present ap-
pearances the veteran will be worth his
weight in gold to the Nationals this sea-
son.
The batting of Schreck WAS again the
feature OF the Athletics game. the big fell
low hammering out double and two SIN
giles. and he also caught masterfuI game
