Sensationalists in the Game.
The game was replete with sensational
plays. even more so than on the day
before. Jimmy Williams tried his best to
get into the hit column in the first inning.
but Kid Milan duplicated Stones catch
of the former game when he ran into left
center and speared Jimmy's drive with
his bare hand.
Then along came Mr. Danny Hoffman.
The old expression Of HE who hesitates
is lost" doesn't apply to Danny. In the
Nationals half Milan sent up one Of those
teasing Texas Leagucrs into short center
Everybody went after it but Danny
BY and by he figured he could spear the
pellet and made dash for 1t. He had
a good way to go. but reached the elusive
sphere with his left mitt and the crowd
gave him the hand.
And, by the way. such q crowd. Only
about 600 of the faithful on hand.
The Browns were tied in knot so far
as getting runs were concerned until the
eighth inning. The Nationals started
right off the reel and in the first cor
rallied q run on three hits and base on
balls. In the second. that eccentric in
dividuaJ RUDE Waddell struck out Altizer
and then gave Mcbride base on balls.
All confidence. the Rube chucked a
straight one over at Gates. and he sim
enough to let Mcbride take third. Milan
sent out short fly to Hoffman. Shipke
singled to left center and Mcbride and
Gates ambled home. Ganley closed the
inning by fouling to Spencer.
Rube Waddell Retired.
Both sides went out in order in the
third and the Browns duplicated the
trick in their half of the fourth. Not so
the Nationals. They had taken a liking
to Wa1delrs service and proposed to
make the most of it.
Altizer was out. Williams to Jones, and
Mickey Mcbride tripled to right cen
ter. There was an immediate conference
between the st. Louis manager and him
self and the Rube was benchcd, Petty
taking his place.
But the locals had their batting eye on
the ball. Gates swiped the first good
one that came over for another triple and
Mcbride walked in. The illumination was
over for this inning. for Milan went out,
Williams to Jones, Shipke with his base
on balls in his pocket being left when
Ganley flied to Stone
Pickering started the Nationals half of
the sixth with a single, Street sacrificed
him, Freeman showing him to third on a
grounder to Wallace. Altizer was there
with a nifty single and Pickering scored.
Everything WdS quiet along the fOIO-
mac until the first half of the eighth.
The Browns started to do business. Petty
got single. Stone. who had been do
ing stunts in the field, but little with the
bat, came to the fore with two Dagger
and Mr.. Petty pulled UP at third, tired
but still in the ring. Williams sent long
sacrifice fly to Milan and Petty came
home. Wallace ended the inning by fly
ing out to Ganley.
Two More in the Eighth.
The Nationals cornered a couple more
runs in the eighth. And twas Well they
did so, In order to make the game GER
tain. Altzer, the first man UP, tripled
over first base. and Mcbride put another
of the same caliber in the same spot,
Altizer scoring aud Mcbride drawing. up
at third. Gates sent a long sacrifice fly
to Hartzell. and Mcbride came In. Milan
was out Williams 10 Jones, and Shipke' S
