The Nationals turned the tables on the
White Sox yesterday in as clean-cut
manner can be imagined the score at
the end of the game being to / In favor
of the locals. The weather was pleasant
for the players well as the spectators,
and it is to be regretted that larger
crowd was not present to see the sport
The greater part of the credit for the
victory belongs to Jesse Tannehill. who
was almost complete puzzle to the ex-
champions, as he allowed only four scat
tered hits. and would have scored shut
out but for a bad throw to first by Capt.
Ganley. Bob was anxious to make a
double play after completing wonderful
catch, but his throw got away from Free
man and bounded into the pavilion. the
runner going all the way home. Tame
hill worked very much on the style he
displayed while with Pittsburg. when he
was considered one of the best pitchers
in the country. He had almost perfect
control and served up slow curves IN

The support given Tannehill in the field

Canley's throw was costly. but In pat
ting way the Nationals backed up the
twirler to the queens taste. Jerry r rec

singles to his string. Jack Warner got

The third inning was another juicy az

:, This was enough for Manager Jones
and he signaled for Manuals recall. and
Owen walked to the rubber. Owen had
nothing to brighten old boy Warner. and
he laced a clean single into left that sent
Ganley and Clymer flying over the home

The seventh inning turned out to be a
lucky one yesterday, as the Nationals
chased their final, two tallies home in
that round. After Shipke had perished on
a roller to Isbell Ganley worked base
on balls and chased to second on a wild
pitch. Clymer then tore of his third
single to center and Ganley scored. War

Freeman fumbled his fast bounder to
right. Donohue then sent fly into short
left that Ganley captured. after a hard
run. about two inches from the ground.
Dougherty thought the ball would fall
safe. and was nearly to second when
Ganley caught it. He Immediately turned
back. and Bob. thinking he could head
him off, threw to Freeman before steady
