made it three out of four had he worked
the same combination all through the
series that he tried today In the first
place he found that Hickman is altogether
TOO uncertain for a first baseman, and he
FOUND In addition, that it is out of the
question to play Anderson in left field. The
big fellow lets enough fly balls drop around
him to bury him. 1t is not quite so bad at
first base, because he doesn't have so much
ground to cover and he can back into high
throws better than Hickman. who is out
classed in that sort of thing
Patten was put in the box for the Ma
tlonals, and while he had to travel ten
inning heat to win 1t is sufficient tsfac-
ton to him to know that he did win and
on his merits. Furthermore. he pitched
good ball, and he pitched good ball as well
IN the first game. No wonder that the
Hlghlanders have been trying to get him
Tor the last two years! Without exception
he seems TO be the most reliable left handler
III the American League at the present
time, and the entire Washington team
plays back of him with the utmost conf
dence. Hogg, who has been troubled with
sore arm for some time, was put in the
box by Griffith He pitched "A fine game of

beat the Washingtons. The best that he
could do was to leave the game tied IT
was not a very wise move in this instance
for the Washingtons had taste of Keefe
Friday, and when they got at him in the
tenth inning today they hammered him for
keeps, and Schlafiy, who had been batting
all the series in rather hard luck began the
trouble that landed Washington in the
lead.
The Scoring.
The first run of the game was scored by
the Washingtons in the second inning AL
tier, who in spite of the wind which has
been prevalent all this week on the high
grounds of the home team has played
center field fairly well and has batted bet
ter, cracked a single to one side of Elber-
field Jones sacrificed and Perrine was
put out of the way by an infield play.
'Old Jack" Warner, a warm favorite in
New York, hit to center field for base,
and Altzer scored.
The Hghlanders tied the score in the
sixth inning. Elberfeld walked, as Patten
was a bit wild, and scampered around to
third base on wild pitch. Chase hit to
Perrine and died at first, but Elberfeld
managed to get home and tie the score
In the ninth the Washingtons became
busy again. Jones started with a hit to
ltll llGlu. ttIIIile SdCilIlctu, ana warner
got base on balls. Patten fouled out,
but Ganley. who has been a Trojan with the
stick in New York, smashed hit to CEN
ter, and Jones scored.
1t looked bad for the Highlanders but
the crowd got 10 its feet n few moments
later when they again tied the score.
kleinoW started the inning with a hit to
right field. Griffith put Hogg down and
Thomas batted for him. The best that he
could do was a sacrifice, and Conroy fol-
lowed with fly to Jones. Keeler, the
handy man, hit safely to left field, and
when kleinow came home with the tying
run all New York was up in the air
and shouting. Elberfeld flied out
keefe, who took Hogg place, was easy
from the jump. Schlahy hit to left field
for a base and Cross raped a single to
right field. Anderson forced Cross out but
Schlafy got to third and came home on
AltizerS single 10 center The best that
the Highlanders could do in their half was
to get man as far as second tumble
by Cross and sacrifice, but they couldn't
tie the score again. Score:
