A great. perspiring crowd at Nationa
Base Ball Park this morning did everything
but Kill the umpire. The spectators fired
crackers all over the stands. threw then
onto the field and yelled like Indians
throughout the battle between the Ma
tionals and Highlanders. The only thing
necessary to make everybody happy was
victory for the home team, but the WIS.,
itors took a splendid brace and won Out
handily by the score of to 1.
Manager Elberfeld shook up his batting
order just previous to the struggle, and II
resulted in great good, as the team played
without an error and punched hits in two
innings, thereby securing sufficient runs
to win. Elberfeld again ran things from
a box close to the New York bench. and
through his head work in quick changing
of pitchers probably saved the game for
his team. In the seventh inning. with
three Nationals on the bags and only one
out, Elberfeld pulled Manning off the rub
Der and substituted Lake. Manager Can
tillon sent in Clymer to bat for Mcbride.
There was great deal of wig-wagging by
Elberfeld. as Lake had pitched two bad
balls. and the game was finally halted I'M
til Newton was brought in from the club
house.
Cantillon couldn't recall Clymer. and
Newton quickly struck out the Lebanon
lad, and then did the same with Gates.
who batted for Kelley. A hit by either
of these men would probably have put
the Nationals in the running. but Elber-
field saved the day with his quick per-
ception. 1t is against the rules for a
suspended manager running his team
from a private box or the stands. and 1t
is not clear why neither Hurst nor Egan
enforced.
Kelley Accorded a Welcome.
Bert Kelley was on the rubber for the
locals. and he was given the glad hand
by everybody when he walked to his po-
sition in the center of the diamond. He
did we'll for six innings. but blew up in
the seventh, when the Highlanders made
five clean hits and scored four runs Tom
Hughes finished the game. and allowed
only one hit in the final two innings.
Manning was on the rubber for the
Yankees, and was SO effective that not
more than one hit could be garnered in
an inning. 1t appeared as though he
seventh inning. and but for the clever
maneuver of Elberfeld he might have
suffered the same fate as Kelley.
The crowd began gathering at the park
gates were thrown open at O'Clock there
was an immense throng waiting to secure
the choice seats. When the game was
called at 1925 o'clock the bleacher seats
and pavilions were damned. while the
grandstand was almost filled. The sun
was at an awkward angle for the specta-
tors who had front seats and they had to
go through the game with Old Sol doing
his best to cook them to a deep brown.
Kelley got bad start in the first in
ming and as a result the New Yorks got
under way with one run to their credit.
Hemphill worked a base on balls. was
sacrificed to second and scored on Mortar
ity's clean single into center.
Tie the Score.
The Nationals could not do anything
with Manning, but in the sixth they tied
the score by a base on balls. a sacrifice
and Clyde Milan's nice double to right
field. Mcbride was the man to get the
pass to first and Kelley quickly put him
down with a neat sacrifice. Milan then
hit into short center Just out of reach of
the in and outfielders, and Mac dashed
home while the batter reached second.
Kelley had been wasting a great deal
of strength throughout the six innings
throwing to the bases and it began to
tell on him in the seventh. Stahl. the
first man up. was turned back on a roller
to Altizer. Conroy singled to left and
Kleinow followed suit. Kelley tried to
catch Conroy off second, but made a bad
throw to Mcbride and the runner took
third. Blair placed a single into right
and Conroy raced home. Manning con-
tinued the fusillade with single over
second and Kleinow scored. Hemphill
then forced Manning at second on q roller
to Mcbride. but Willie Keller laced line
single into right and Blair crossed the
home plate.
Populace Groans.
This batting doubtless upset Kelley
nerves, for he then pulled off wild
pitch and Hemphill dashed over the rub
Der with the fourth run, amid the groans
of the populace. Moriarity shut of further
trouble with fly to Ganley.
While the battle was apparently lost
the Nationals never lost heart and kept
right after the opposition. In the same
inning. after Pickering had persisted on a
roller to Manning. Street laced a beautiful
triple to the center field fence and Free
man was hit by pitched ball. When
Altizer worked Manning for a pass bed
lam broke loose. as the bags were
crowded with only one out. Lake was
rushed to the rescue and then Newton.
Clymer famed and Gates followed suit.
Newton had all his speed with him and
the locals were never dangerous in the
final two innings.
Following is the official score:
