lambasted one into left center that both
Ganley and Jones were doing their best to
get under. Bob beat Charley to 1t and
pulled 1t in on the dead run In the final
inning Ungiaub gave Bob his second
chance to shine and the little captain was
right on to his job, getting the line fly about
a foot from the ground while coming in
toward 1t on the full run. Unglaub threw
up his hands in despair when he saw Can
ley straighten up with the ball in his hands.
Little Shipke opened the second game with
a grand stop of Barrett's sizzler over third.
and Delehanty captured a puzZling fly to
short center while running with his back to
the ball.
The soldier boy. Dave Altizer, was in
both games with his trusty willow, but his
good work was married by his over-anxiety

first game Youngs delivery fooled him.

making the third out. 1t was a costly
mistake, as there were three on the bases
at the time In the second game Prultt
caught him by quick throw to first. and
Dave was run down on the line.
But AltiZer played nice first base, and
with the stick was regiment in himself.
In the first game he got only one hit. but
1t drove in two runs and was made on
Young. the pitcher that nearly killed
Dave with an inshoot last year. In the
second game AltIzer hammered out two
singles and triple.
The box score of the second game has
peculiar look, as all the ten hits credited
to the Nationals were made by the first five
batsmen. Milan got two singles: Ganley
triple and double: Delehanty two singles;
Altizer two singles and triple. and Jones
triple The other four men were unable
to land safely on the ball.

glaub got in from his Pennsylvania home
in the morning and went on the initial
corner. Bob played a sensational fielding
game, but the best he could do with the
stick was single In the second game, off

Manager Cantillon has promised the
Washington fans good base ball for the
rest of the season. and his men certainly
made good start yesterday After win
ming the first game with Charley smith.
Cantillon developed a thirst for more. and
refusing to take a chance on Tom Hughes
sent in Falkenberg. Tom may have turned
the trick. but Falk is at the top of his
game right now. and can be depended upon
to make the opposing batsmen go some to
solve his delivery. There will be very little
experimenting from now on. and an I'M

knocked out of the box.
Manager Jim Mcclure believes that Bos-

Il wish we were in this fight said the
veteran today. Every one would feel SO
much better. Our boys have been drawing

We have done fairly we'll with a team
that started off poorly. and must
work out experiments for next season. We
have an army of clever young players, and
will not be caught short-handed next sea-

"Once the season is on you have no
show to get good one from even the
minors. you must have the boys planted
around and call them back when they are
needed
