Special TO The Washington Herald
Columbus. Ohio, April g.-Washington
was lucky 10 get away with that game
with Columbus to-day by Z TO 6.
So many errors were made by the tour
lists that il is a wonder they were not
smothered with runs. The breaks. how
ever, We're largely excusable because Of
the intense cold. Every time man re-
ceived a ball thrown with force enough
to reach him he thought from the way his
fingers stung that he had been handed
a red-hOt coal. The harder a man hit the
bali when at bat the more ne suffered.
a base hit meant pain, and a double
was agony. Nobody went beyond that.
Mil ana Jones made doubles. and said
afterward they wished they had struck
out
There were about 800 human ieycles on
hand 10 see the game and Joe Cant.llon
He seemed 10 be personally known to all
the bunch, and they kept up a continuous
line of running comments. In the last
inning when only a little luck saved
Washington from having the score tied.
the calls for Joe reminded an observer Of
the mention Of the name OF "a peerless
leader at convention to nominate
constable.
T. Hughes, who had been especially
groomed for the game in Cincinnati that
was not played. was first in the box for
Washington. He was all right for four
innings. and was a decidedly frosty propO-
sition for the Columbians; but after that
he thawed out, and in the fifth round
two singles a sacrifice. and two more sin
giles caused all fear of him TO melt from
the heart Of the Columbus bunch.
Case Patten in Boz.
Hughes was succeeded by Patten. who
was all To the good until the ninth, when
a double, single. and two errors by Nil
gave Columbus three runs.
The encouraging feature for Washing
ton was that one Of It's men got a nit in
every inning. and at times the hits were
50 nicely punched that the runs were
scored. The old timers seem to be get
ting back their batting eyes.

a telegram from Milwaukee calling up
on Cantillon for help caused him to de-
eide to-day to send Pitcher Wilson there
instead of to Des Moines Wilson and
Goodwin will leave for Milwaukee to-
morrow.
Cross is by no means i'll. but Cantillon
thinks there is no use taking chances
with such a valuable man and keeps him
out Of the game.
