deed royal greeting that the Nationals
received at the Goth street park today. and
It was indeed a splendidly fought game.
The Cantilon men lost to the Maps by the
score of 5 to 4. An eXcusable error by Al
tizer. the only misplay of the game, started
Hinchman around the bases in the ninth in
ming with the score a tie. Turner esSayed
sacrifice, but beat his bunt to first by fast
sprinting. Then Jackey Thielman laid down
a sacrifice and SaucY single by Flick,
who has come to be regarded DIS Cleveland
hckiest and timeliest batter, completed the
work, and Hinchman scored the winning
run.
There was round of applause for Joe
Cantillon when he let his men on the field,
and there were separate and distinct greet
ings for Hinchman, Cross and Smith.
Rhoades Knocked Out.
Lajoe sent Rhoades into the box and the
visitors wish that the Maps commander had
left Dusty there. Cleveand's winning pitch
err of 1905 and O6 has been bright and
shining mark to the opposing teams this
year and Washington kept up the pummel-
ing today.
1t was in the fourth inning after Ander-
son had laced a beautiful double to right,
that Larry listened to the tremendous jeers
from the stands and sent Rhoades to the
bench. Thielman came to the rescue and,
his curves being quite new to all of Cantil-
Ions men except Ganley, he stopped the
bombardment quite effectually. BY the way,
Ganleys batting was a bright particular
feature of the game. All of his three hits
fiukes.
The game was made memorable by play
that probably has not been duplicated this
year 1t happened in the third inning. Gan
ley began it by beating out bunt. Jones
walked. Lave sacrificed to Stovall. the in
ming being thus far, an exact duplicate of
Dustys opener. Hinchman took Hickman's
high fly away out by the subway and both
runners actually scored on the out, Jones
running all the way from second base be-
fore Turner's relay reached Clarke. The
crowd gave Jones a noisy ovation as he
came sliding over the plate. Dusty threw
out Altizer.
Ganley who is new to Cleveland twirlers,
got three balls, then two strikes, then
nice hit over second. He stole second.
Dusty failed to get them over for Charley
Jones. Lave Cross got a rousing welcoming
hand and sacrificed to Stovall. The ap-
plause increased as Cheerful Charley came
to bat. He persisted, Brad to Stovall, Gan
ley scoring on the play.
In the second Hinchman robbed John An
derson of triple by a great running catch
in deep left center. Rhoades handed MIL
q pass, but Heydon lifted to Hinchman and
Smith fouled to Clarke.
Altizer's Great Play.
In Clevelands half Clarke popped to
Cross and Smith hit Birmingham. Then
Altizer made a surprising catch of Hinch-
mans fly in left center and by beautiful
throw to Hickman doubled Birmy.
1t was in the fifth that the Maps drew
alongside. Smith assisted Birmingham out.
Hinchman dropped a safe one in left. Tur-
ner forced Birmy on the first ball pitched to
him-Smith to Mill. Thielman walked.
Flick's sizzling triple into the right field
pocket scored Turner and Thielman. Brad
ley cuffed pretty one to center, Elmers
run tying the score amid wild yells from
the populace.
Washington moved ahead in the sixth.
Larry whipped out Cheerful Charley. AL
tizer pushed double to the far subway.
Anderson hit past Larry, Altizer scoring.
Brad threw out Mil and Anderson was dou-
bled up trying for third.
Cleveland Goes Ahead.
Cleveland quickly tied the score. Larry
put two-bagger far over John Anderson's
head. Mig duplicated Larry's smash, the
king scoring Birmingham famed. Hnch-
man was out. Cross to Hickman, and Mig
doubled trying for third. Here the hit
ting and running stopped, although the
wonderful fielding went until the last
half of the ninth, when Alters stop be-
gan the trouble and Flick's third hard rap
