Wichita is much faster and better in
erery way than the Texas League
teams. Washington has been playing
the way home. but the Nationals paid
no attention IL that in the hrst few
innings. They did nothing ia the open
ing round. but in the second made four
clean hits of a good minor league pitch
er, took every advantage of two rank
errors, and rolled up six runs. run
was batted home in the third inning,
and two more We're added in the sixth
on good batting and wide-aWake playing
Wichita had managed to bat in two
runs, and the goose hung high, but here
fate got busy Goodwin, who has been
showing fair form In practice and was
thought 10 be ready for thorough trial,
went over the clouds IN the seventh, and
five hits. two passes, and two errors
materialized into eight runs Ia that one
round, and the game was lost BY
dropping a throw from Perriue, Cross
became responsible for four runs He
had his foot on the bag and the ball
in his hands, but a slight collision with
the runner caused The ball 10 fail 10
the ground.
uere IS another peculiar working or
baseball luck Cross is one OF the great
est third sacIlers in the country, and
goes days and days without an error,
yet this enc little misplay yesterday
caused Washington TO be beaten by one
run IN a game apparently already
