We" IOhh, august S1.-SOmebOdy re-
marked two or three centuries ago that
young blood will tell. but probably he had
not notion that his axiom would so patty
fit that double bill affair up on the hilton
yesterday. when the Yankees put 1t over
Washington In both collisions, 8 to O and Q
to 8. 1t surely was the day Of the Infant
phenoms." even though "Cy" Barger, new
est of the babes, did weaken and ask to be
excused. He was doing pretty good work
at that. but he wasn't used to fast COM
pany and had a bad attack Of stage fright
so that he was relieved In the second in
ming.
Joe" Doyle. who distinguished himself
when he made his big league debut the
other day. he'd down the slab against the
Senators In the first engagement. and du-
phcated his triumph. He had the husky
Washingtonians guessing all the time, and
the sum total was two little singles one Of
which was scratchy" one. More than
mat his smashing drive past third in the
Fourth inning carried in two runs and help
ed much toward the final reckoning.
Three singles were negotiated of Barger
In the second affair. but two misplays in
the infeld conspired with them to bring In
three runs. whereupon the youngster said
that his hand was sore and he went to the
bench. Willie" Hogg relieved him and was
touched up for three more tallies a smash
Ing home run by Jones bringing them in
He was hit again In the fifth, but the Yam
KEGS also had their sticks with them and
1t didn't matter so much. as the sequel
proved.
Great Work by Chase.
Hal" Chase was the particular hero of
the day in both affairs. It's getting mo-
notonous to say that so often. His field
work was excellent. as it usually is, his
wild throw in the last round costing moth
ing. but the things he did with the bat
were fearful and wonderful In the cur
tain raiser he laced out three singles and
scored one of the runs. and in the second
session out of five times at bat he negoti-
ated no less than three triples and a
double and scored two runs. 1t was Con-
roys lucky hit in the tenth. when the
score was tied. that did the trick. how
ever. about which We shall have details
presently.
For the variety that makes base ball
the great game 1t Is. the second game was
a wonder Business began at the very
start. The Senator's passed away easily
in their part of the first. and Stahl opened
for them by fumbling Conroy's hit
WILDLY then stole second and scored on
had died at first. Chase then emerged
with his first three-bagger. but it did no
more execution. as Anderson pulled down
Delehantys fly. leaving Yeager alone on
first with his free pass
In the second inning the Senators got
real cross and knocked out six runs which
made it look as if it was all over. but
Oh. 1T wasn't by long shot Anderson
was safe on Elberfeld's tumble. Hick-
man singled to center. and Stahl beat out
an infleld hit. filling the sacks Wakefield
grounded to Chase and Anderson was
nailed at the plate. but McGure's throw
to first for double play was wild and
Hickman scored. Hogg then took Barger's
place and walked Kitson. again crowding
the cushions. Mil lifted a fly which both
Conroy and Keller raced for. Conroy got
II. but, fearing a collision. muffed 1t, and
Stahl crossed the plate
At this particularly critical juncture
Jones caught the ball squarely on the
nose and sent 1t all the way to the score
board. Before II had been located to eff
feet Jones had made the circuit of the
diamond and all the rest of his colleagues
who were in the situation had preceded
him. AltiZer and Cross died natural
deaths. but a great big went up on the
which Disguised them much when they
learned what transpired thereafter. Three
singles and base on balls gave the vfsi-
tors two more in the fifth. and 1t surely
did look as II there was nothing more to
II.
The Yankees Rally.
With the score s to 1 against them the
Yankees pulled themselves together and
began to catch up. Chase opened the sixth
with another triple and scored on Yeagers
fly to Jones. Del singled to right and
so did Moriarity Mcclure chose the other
side Of the garden for his. scoring DEL"
and Hogg brought Moriarity in with
smash to right. Smith then relieved Kit
son and Warner went behind the bat. but
1t wasn't all over by any means. Hogg and
Hoffman who ran for MCGUIRE, worked
a double steal, and Hoffman scored on Con-
roy's grounder to Stahl. Keller died at
first. however. and New York was still
three shy.
In the unexpected base ball fashion they
came In the very next round. Elberfeld
opened with a smash to center. and Chase
tripled for the third time. scoring him.
Yeager put one In center and Hal came
in. Delehanty sacrificed and Moriarity 5
single brought Yeager in with the run that
tied the. score.
1t stood tie until the tenth inning. and
not Until the very finish did anybody really
hope for a victory as II was growing SO
dark that everybody expected to hear the
game called. The Nationals had been re-
tired without difficulty. when Moriarity
walked and Thomas advanced him with a
sacrifice Laporte batted for Hogg. but
filed out to Hickman. and then Conroys
single brought Moriarity in with the one
thing needful.
