70 the amazed Hughes. and waved
grandly 10 his henchmen TO proceed with
the game. Both Hoffman and Brouthers
were safe as Government bonds
Ninth Inning Rally.
In the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth
innings the Nationals went out in tho
one. two. three order, so fast that they
couldn't keep track OF whose turn II
was TO bat This was most discourage

Stahl got his near-hit in the seventh.
and Derished miserably on second. which
he stole when Theoretical Jones famed
the air.
1t was in the ninth round that they
got openers and bettered them. and YET
quit loser. Cross started the excitement
with a swat 10 Monte Cross. which the
Athletic couldn't handle because of its
speed. Anderson followed with another
drive 70 Monte, which that veteran could
Rave assimilated, but didn't. and there
were two on bases. Stahl tried TO kill
the ball. He only MANNED II. His drive
went sizzling TO the right Of Murphy,
VINO made great off-side play and nail
ed Stahl at first, but both Cross and
Anderson moved up a peg Jones re-
peated him great imported novelty act OF
cutting three wide slices out OF the same
air in the same ball yard, each slice be-
ginning and ending at least three feet
from the center of the ball, and at no
point endangeung the rotundity OF the
sphere.
Heydon, Hero.
Here entered Heydon. He had been
lunging at the ball like an automaton
with rusty cogs. He had understudied
Jones tanning act so closely that he
couldn't be told from the original, and
the 1882 rooters began to move toward
the exits. That was where they were
mistaken. Heydon connected with one
that just suited his style, and drove it
into the left-held crowd for two bases
Cross and Anderson scored. Great ex-
citement ensued, and the plate printers
hit the tom-tom a time OF two as an IN
spiration TO the next batter.
Tom Hughes has a reputation as a
heavy sticker when he sticks Yestcr-
day his sticking was of an airy, ethereal
kind, which was not appreciated by the
rooters or Manager Stahl. He was given
the Indian sign. and Stanley was sent In
to bat for him that critical ninth. Stan,
ley WAS there all right with the earnest
intentions, but was shy on executive
ability. and Danny Murphy absorbed his
blow SC easily the crowd didn't know
what had happened We lost. What's

Started on the Level.
Washington started brashly enough
in the first inning by making a run
which put 1t on the level with the Ath-
let;cs, but II was phony start in the
end, for from that time until the ninth
inning 1t never really had a chance.
Mil got two balls and then drove a
liner to Monte Cross. He was out.
Schlafiy drew a pass and Cheerful
Charley Hickman made the first hit Of
the year for the Nationals by sending
one to Brouthers too torrid to take.
Lave Cross hit to right and scored
Schlafiy from second, but Socks Sey-
bold was right onto the job OF return
ing the ball and by a great throw nail
ed Hickman at third. Anderson was
Oslerized, second to first
Tom Hughes gave Hartsel, first man
up for the Athletics, pass. Hoffman
boosted Hartsel along with a sacrifice.
George Mil. the man with the pecul-
lar motion in getting EN- TO first,
jumped into the limelight at this point
