not have been scored on had IL not been
for our old college friend. George Nc
Bride.
The mistakes Of Mcbride are best told
In the relating Of the scoring.
Nationals Start Well.
Washington got away good with
harvest OF three runs in the second
inning. Unglaub beat out drive TO
Rossmsn by a whisker. Clymer walk
ed. Freeman made a Dutch sacrifice
TO Summers. who threw out Unglaub

ed the Detroit inheld by making g bluff
to steal third. and then doing it sure
enough when Summers tossed TO
O'Leary TO make the runner behave.
Streets sterling triple to right scored
Clymer and Freeman. Hughes struck
out. but the last strike was a wild
pitch that sailed over Schmidts head.

thrown out by Coughlin.

by Summers and Rossman. but Nc

led 10 right, taliying Crawford. Ross
man walked, and Cobb came home on
| Schmidts fly 10 Ganley. as aforesaid.

when there should have been but one.
Mcintyre again started trouble when
he opened the seventh inning with
/ single. Schaefer sacrificed, and Craw-
ford was on the job with another sin
gle to put the run over the pan from

to the plate, but in reality making
quick pass TO Freeman. which put out
Crawford in approved fashion. Cobb
doubled 70 center, and was thrown out.
