The defeat in the last round in the
previous game was a sad blow TO the
peunant hunting Maps. and they made
every effort 10 bag yesterdays contest.
and time and again it appeared as though
they were due TO score. but the Nationals
arose 10 the emergency and by pulling
off some circus plays. sent the disguised
larrupers to the deld without a run.
The Nationals were outbatted, but be
cause Of the effectiveness of Charley Smith
when the bases were occupied. and the
sensational fielding Of the whole home
team, an Of Clevelands' bingles went 10
waste and il remained for the locals 10

two had been put out and the crowd had
settled down for a tenth inning With

who tagged the pitcher. Jones imme-
di8tely stole second. from which point he
scored when Anderson smashed a fast
liner TO Bradley and StovalI dropped the
throw. II was a rather poor ending for
a good game, but the Nationals won, so
there was no dissatisfaction among the
515 fans who went out to look over the
mighty Maps, not dreaming that the Ma.
tionals would repeat the trick Of Tues
day. and take successive games from
J. joies band.
4 Pitchers Duel.
Both Smith and Bernhardt pitched great
ball, and either one deserved 10 win. but
the goddess of chance smiled on Smith.
and he scored a victory over the team
which he likes 10 defeat above all others.
While the battle Of the pitchers was
not particularly thrilling to the fans. the
game abounded with brilliant fielding.
Altizer, Ganley. Delehanty. and Flick
carrying of the individual honors. In the
second inning Delehanty ran from his
position at third to the visitors bench
and bagged foul fly which ordinarily
would have dropped without being
touched. Ganleys best feat was a pretty
running catch Of a wOuld-be Texas
Lacquer by Laj0ie. which, by the way. was
the nearest smash TO safety which
Larry has gotten since he arrived.

q Washington standpoint was a stab by
AltiZer i'm the NINTH with a man going
from second To home StOval lifted a
short fly toward left, and it looked good
for hit, and would have netted a score.
but Altizer succeeded in getting within
reach, and grabbed the ball just as 1t
came over his shoulder
In the fifth, after Altizer had doubled
and had reached third on an out. Warner
drove a long fly 90 right, which Flick
caught. and by making a bee-line throw
70 the plate, retired Altizer.
Bill Bradley's slowness in sizing up the
situation and then making a none too
good throw 90 first, which StovalI
promptly muffed, was responsible for
the only run of the afternoon. Charley
Smith opened the final half by hitting 10
left. and he was safe at second on Can
ley's sacrifice. Jones b0under went into
Bradleys mitt and he tagged Smith.
Jones stole second and Delehanty drew a
pass. Anderson tore off a wicked liner
70 Bradley, who handled the ball cieanly.
but hesitated about throwing 10 first or
touching Jones. Jones ducked out Of
reach. and when Bradley whipped the
ball to first TO get Anderson. Stovau
dropped it. and Jones raced across the
rubber with the run and the game was
over.
