may of the multitude Donohue was also
passed. Davis then sent both men along
with sacrifice. and Manager Cantillon
ordered out Burns and called Tom
Hughes from the clubhouse to go on the
rubber. On the first ball that Tom
pitched Tannehi,l hit on line fly to
Ganley. Dougherty, on third, watched
the ball strike Ganley's hands, and then
with the speed of the wind dashed for
home. Bob was also right on the play.

the ball bounded into Streets hands and
the game catcher was waiting with the
sphere for Sir Patrick to slide into his

again the spectators yelled praises and
satisfaction.
AS fitting finale for the great game
in the sixteenth inning with one out. The
infield closed in. and on Donohue's bound
er to Altizer the soldier boy made a fine
return. and Dougherty once more hit the
dirt around the home plate with fruitless
results The bounder was a hard one,
and Altizer certainly deserves great praise
for his end of the play.
In the Nationals last turn at the bat
Freeman reached first on Tannehills err
ror after two were out, and after Altizer
had flied to Dougherty the umpire called
out: Game called on account of dark

cold dinners.

The great interest of tine day centered
on the international team match, in
which competition the Americans came
off with top scores for the three ranges.
These comprise the first half Of the con-
test. The concluding three ranges are to
be shot today, and the winners of this
competition. in addition to securing the

Yesterdays SlXteen-1nning battle was
the longest of the season in the American
League, and undoubtedly the longest in
the city since the present league has been
located here.
Manager Jones had few minutes of
great anxiety in the sixteenth inning after
First Baseman Donohue had stolen second
base. .Jiggs'' slid into the bag feet
first and his left foot struck the stake in
such a way as to almost sprain his ankle.
He tried to get up and had to drop Oack,
but after a little rubbing and limping
around Donohue announced that he was
all right and the battle was resumed. 1t
would be a very hard piece of hard luck
for the Sox to lose '.Jigger' for even a
short time. for such a thing as sprained
ankle would simply mean the death knell
to all of Chicago's pennant hopes, as the
team needs him almost as bad as 1t does
Manager Jones.
The news that the Washington club had
purchased the release of First Basean

ed with a great deal of satisfaction by the
army of local fans" and everybody
agreed with Manager Cantillon that Bob
will strengthen the team in whatever po-
sition he Is placed.
announced without authority that Unglaub
would leave that city last night for
Washington. 1t may be a few days be-
fore he reports here. Unglaub has been
anxious to come to Washington. but he
is one of the ball players who never over
looks bet when 1t comes down to money
matters. Just soon as Bob learns that
he will be given the same money In
Washington that he received in Boston 1t
will not take him long to shake from his
feet the dust of the City of Culture. He
has his family at housekeeping in Bos-
ton and it will naturally take some time
for him to straighten out matters SO that
he can come to this city.
There were three errors charged up
against Umpire O'Loughlin and they were
all of the costly sort. the Nationals hav-
ing the game safely tucked away but for
the mistakes. In the first inning, Hahn,
who was on third when Clymer caught
Dougherty's fly. had left the bag fully
yard or more before the ball struck
the outielder's hands. Clymer's throw
to the plate was a good one but Hahn
beat it out by just about the start he got
off third. Capt. Ganley and several of the
other players protested on Hahn's illegal
start, but silk majestically waved them
aside. In the fifth inning he missed two
strikes that resulted In the second run
and also in the Punishment of Jack War
ner. who couldn't keep quiet under the
