The Washingtons punched their hits on
Petty In the first inning of yesterday $
game. while the Browns got theirs together
In the last two. The latter combination
was the better of the two, the visitors WIN
ming out by the score of : to >. For eight
innings Charley Smith pitched a splendid
game holding the Browns down to five
scattered hits one to an inning. and then
In the ninth a measly little error crept into
the game Stone had led off with single
to left and Yeager hit nasty bounder to
left that Cross gathered in all right. Per-
rine was q little slow in covering second,
and as a result Cross throw went wild and
the ball bounded out of the second base
mans ungldved hand. There should have
been an out If not double play. but in
stead there were TWO on bases with no one
out.
The mishap apparently ratified Smith. as
he then sent In a wild pitch that moved
both runners up a base, and Tom Jones
followed with single to right that scored
both runners and tied up the game. O'Con-
nor followed with a sacrifice. but Petty
flied out to Ganl~y and Hartsel popped TO
Cross.
This good piece of luck put life into the
Browns. and they went after Smith like a
pack of hungry wolves in the tenth inning.
PICKERING tore OH a IIIp4t illlc leiN lISlu
and HemphiH soaked a double into right,
Pickering scoring. Wallace hit roller to
Smith and Hemphill was headed on at
third and run down on the line stone
flied to Charley Jones, but Ieager ham
mcred a double along the left-field foul line
and Wallace trotted home. Tom Jones then
made his third hit, long single into right,
and YcdEer dashed over the plate. OCon-
nor wound up the inning with line fly
over Smiths head. which the latter pulled
down with one hand in the most sensa-
tional style.
Petty had improved after the first inning
and in the last four turns at the bat the
Nationals didn't make anything that looked
like a hit. In the first inning Ganley led
off with single to center, but Charley
Jones popped little fly to Petty in trying
to sacrifice. Cross followed with a roller
to Tom Jones and Ganey was forced out
at second. Hickman was passed to first
and AltZer singled into center, scoring
Cross. Anderson drove out beauty single
to left and Hickman IimpeG over the plate.
AltiZer then played too far off second and
Petty by a quick throw to Wallace put
him out, closing the inning.
From then up TO the ninth inning it was
a pitchers battle between Petty and Smith,
and from the way the latter was steaming
the ball over the plate the outlook was
most pleasing to the enthusiastic fans. "
Then came the heart-breaking ninth and
crushing tenth. and another defeat was
charged up against the Nationals.
ON account of the good pitching there
were few feature plays. Perrine making a
remarkable stop back of second base in the
third inning and HartZell getting one back
OF first in the second. being the most note
worthy.
The game marked the return to the hit
ting ranks of two men who have done
little for the Browns this spring, Tom
Jones and Stone, the former getting three
singles and the latter two. Two of Jones'
hits scored three of the visitors runs.
Notwithstanding the defeat of the Ma
tunals Wednesday another large crowd
turned out yesterday. but 1t was a sad
congregation that filed out of the park after
the unexpected defeat.
