working their way toward victory
After being defeated In the opening
game. Canullon's men succeeded in ty-
ing up a ten-inning contest yesterday
with the Highlanders. to 4. and contiuu-
ing at the present clip the locals are due
10 come out with the long end of the
score tomorrow.
In several respects tie weather was
even worse than on the opening day.
There were no warm rays. and toward
the close it got so cold that tire three
thousand fanatics sat shivering while
each of~the teams made desperate efforts
10 pun out a victory Although the con-
ditions were anything but propitious,
there was plenty of enthusiasm to stir
tae fans. and. taken all in all, very
pleasant afternoon was spent.
Nationals on Wen.
Washington got good start by scoring
one in the FIRST and two in the second
inning, but Clarke Grihith's band kept
plugging away until they succeeded in
getting a lead of to in the first half
Of the sixth. Their advantage, however.
was short-lived, for in the second period
of the same round the Nationals came
back and evened up the score. For four
more innings the teams toiled, but their
efforts in the way of run-getting availed
them nothing. for at the end of she tenth
inning Umpire Tommy Connolly decided
that it was too dark and cold to continue.
and hostiiities We're called of.
Twenty-Five players took part in the
game, and SO frequent were the changes
that one was reminded of a football
game, in which substitutons are made
more frequently than in any other branch
of athletics
The hrst shift came in the opening
inning.
after two Of The Highlanders had been
retired, Kid Elberfeld came up and Gra-
ham got two strikes on him. The next
bali the Kid claimed had hit him, but the
ump refused 70 see IL that way and ruled
the scrappy shortstop out on strikes.
Elberfeld yelled murder, and so strenuous
we're his objections that Connolly finally
put him out of the game. There was
some little delay, during which several Of
tine visitors took occasion to tell the
arbiier what they thought of him, but
finally Elberfeld went out, got his glove.

he could not convince himself that Mr,
Connolly was in every way qualified to
handle the indicator in Ban Johnson's
happy family COnroy went in at short
ana Brocbett took Conroy's place in left
field
Graham Unsteady.
Joe Canuuon trotted Oscar Graham,
his pitching recruit from the Pacific
Coast. on to the mound to make his
initial appearance before the local fans.
For two innings the southpaw made
most favorable impression, retiring the
visitors in one-two-three order; but in
the third he suddenly became as wild as
The proyerbial hare. With one down. he
passed two men in succession. the third
got a hit, and the next batter was hit by
pitcher.
After he had served up three balls TO
the next batter, Graham was beclIoned 10
the bench and Falkenberg took the going.
The daruing needle worked his way out
oC the hole fairly well. but in the next
session the Yankees made another tally
ON two hits and a sacrifice. He worked
through the fifth afl right. bat in the
sixth New York made two runs on a pair
of singles. a sacrifice. and two wild
heaves by Bob GGney who threw wide
OF the mark in trying to fiag the runners
at the plate.
Billy Hogg. who started OF to serve
am up for New York bad trouble in To-
eating the plate. and after he had signed
half a dozen free passes and hit one bat /
ter in six innings, he gave way IN favor
of Walter Clarkson. The former Harvard |
captain was in unusually good shape, !
despitc his reputation of being a warm
weather pitcher and he let the Nationals /
have only one measly single IN four in /
nings.
Mig PerrIne Stars.
Little Mig Perrine again stood out as
the star of the game from a Washington (
point Of view He led the team at the 1
bat with brace Of singles and a sac /
rihce, and in the field pulled OF the pret- /
test play of the day. With three men on
the bases Jimmy Williams ripped of a
liner over second. which looked good for 4
a safety. but Perrine nabbed it on the 1
bound and whipped the bali to Hickman /

side. Later in the game he worked the I
ball trick on Conroy much to [
tae disgust OF one Clarke Griffith.

Graham was so exhausted after his long
run around the bases that he went to /
pieces in the third, and allowed the visi- (
