After losing the morning game by allow
ing New York 70 make three runs without
Il hit, the Nationals came back in great
shape IN the afternoon and enjoyed a bat
ting matinee at the expense Of two Of the
Highlander pitchers winning by 10 2.
That the Cantillonites did not pile up a
bigger total was due TO the fact that the
game was called at the end Of the sew
enth inning TO allow the visitors 10 catch
a train for Boston.
Although nearly 5000 fans were out TO
see the morning show, nearly twice that
number was present in the AFTERNOON, the
crowd extending all the way round the
field. making a two-base ground rule
necessary from the beginning.
Griffith trotted out big Earl Moore TO do
the twirling. but the ex-Nap lasted only
two innings. In fact, he did not last that
long, for in the opener the Nationals got
three runs. but Griffith did not see fit 10
change tWirIers until the beginning of the
third, the Nationals having added an
other tally in the second on three clean
singles BroCkett was sent out to turn
the tide, but the locals lost no time in get
ing familiar with the former Eastern
League phenom. and in his first round Of
service two more runs were added TO the
Nationals column. In the fourth and
fifth he escaped without being scored
upon. but in the sixth Washington made a
trio Of runs on three hits and two bases
on balls.
Held to Four Hits.
Fred FaIkenberg. the lightning rod. did
service for the Nationals, and he per
formed his duty most nobly, holding the
Gotham sIuggers TO four singles. two Of
which were of the scratchiest variety. In
the third Jones and Altizer allowed a pop
dy, back of second base. to drop between
them. and In the sixth Chase beat out
hunt toward first base. The other two
hits Of the visitors were clean drives over
the heads Of the indelders.
In the fourth the Yankees scored with

grounder toward second. which Nil threw
to the stand. Chase going 20 second. Con
roy's fly and Williams grounder worked

and Altzer nine. Both had several diff
cult opportunities which they handled
perfectly Hickman saved his team
mates several errors by digging low
