Pickering laid down a rather fast hunt
toward third, was thrown out by Per
ring without trouble, and GaRIey stuck
by his base without a chance to score.
Hereafter it would be a good idea to
let a messenger boy deliver Pickering
a telegram stating the number out
whenever he goes TO the plate.
AltiZer pulled or the other Thought
less Theodore stunt, when he threw
Bradley's Offering to the plate in an
effort TO nab Thielman IN the fifth in
ming. Thielman WIS almost over the
pan when Altizer let go. and there was
no earthly chance to get him. The prop
er play was TO first which Bradley
reached in safety, despite the fact Brad
ley never scored and no real harm was
done.
But don't let us forget that very nifty
double play that practically saved the
Gay in the second inning. With one out
Perring on third and StOvall on first
Thielman hit to Mcbride. who tossed
TO Altizer at second. who lined 70 Free
man at first. eXtinguishing Stovall and
Thielman, and retiring the side Perring
was over the plate before the play was
completed. and a slip up would have
changed the whole complexion OF the
game.

FallSenberg was the real hero yester-
day and deserved a world of credit He
has been roasted hard here of late for
losing games into which he was chuck
ed at critical moments. Instead Of let
ting that get his goat he seemed nerved
by the hammering and gave a high-class
exhibition on the slab IN the first, sec
ond. and eighth innings he had excel
lent chances to wObble and throw the
game away, but refused them and stuck
by his guns in proper fashion.
That he is a good pitcher under GER
tain conditions has not been denied
or doubted, but he iIas been used with
poor judgment this season. Both Larry
Lajoie and Jimmy McAleer think a lot
OF his work, and New York bankers for
him. With either Cleveland or ST.
Louis he probably would go well, but
with New York he would hardly be the
goods. He was touched for two earned
runs yesterday and is always likely to
receive sudden wallOpings- What he
needs is a team behind him like Detroit
or st. Louis. or like Washington was
yesterday. that can be relied upon to
hammer out a few runs on its own ac-
count
Failed in a Pinch.
The trouble has been that the Wash
ington club has been so lacking In ag-
gressive strength this season that FaI-
Kenberg knew in his heart wher he
got into a pinch that If he should weak
en- for a moment the game would ALMOST
surely be lost. That lack OF confidence
IN his team and sense Of responsibility
upon himself has taken his nerve and
been responsible for the weird exhibit
tons he has given on a far greater
number Of occasions than would appear
from his record as compiled according
to the absurd system in vogue in the
big leagues.
The man who can take the harpoon
and come back IS the one who makes
the big splurge in professional sports
where he is getting a large salary for
his work. and If FaIkenberg can always
take a roasting and come back as strong
as he did yesterday he. will yet be
a great pitcher.
Washington's playing yesterday Eaz
marked by two foolish plays. neither of
which show on the score sheets In the
fourth inning. after Ganley had led of
with a triple. Pickering won a leather
medal He thought there was one out
and gave Ganley the sign for the
squeeze play.
Naturally Ganley was looking for
nothing Of the sort, and did not see it..
