NATIONALS APPLY DOUBLE COAT OF WF1ITEWASF1.
MAPS UNABLE TO SCORE IN EIGHTEEN INNINGS.

The same old story was wired to Cleve-
land last night. with the addition that
after playing eighteen innings the Maps
had been unable to score a run. while
the Nationals made two in the first game
and eight in the second. 1t was the same
Iistless bunch that faced the locals yes
terday afternoon. and from start to finish
the Nationals simply played rings around
the Maps There was a snap and go to
the locals work that was most pleasing
to the stanch followers OF the club. and
even when they made errors the authors
OF the. misplays looked good In compari-
son with their opponents.
Tom Hughes was on the firing line in
the first battle. and with Addie Joss
working in opposition a close game was
predicted and came true, but there was
nothing to it but the former in the pitch
Ing line. as like his teammates. the local
twirler pitched big rings around the
celebrated visitor. Three scattered hits
were all the Maps could place on record.
and there never was minute when
Cleveland was in it. In six OF the nine
innings the ClevelandS went out In order
and the way Tom kept steaming them
over awed the Maps into submission
The spectators quickly realized that
Hughes was on the top of his gan.o and
repeatedly cheered him for his efforts
joss was effective and his game would
be called frst-class but for it's compari-
son with that of the local twirler. In
only one inning did the Nationals get
more than one hit, but then the bingles
scored the first run. and it was earned at
that. The second tally was the direct
result Of Stovalrs error. but the damage
had been done before this misplay re-
suited. But four hits were registered on
Joss. but In five of the eight innings the
Nationals had men on bases.
Locals Errorless Game.
Back Of the pitchers the Nationals went
the route without a misplay. while the
Maps transgressed into the error column
on three different occasions. Mcbride
and Delehanty pulled of ringer plays for
the locals. while I.ajoie was the star of
the Cleveland outfit.
Manager Cantillon tried Cnglaub at
third and Delehanty at second in the first
game but when the locals gained q lead
bf two runs he recalled Bob from third
and sent out Shipke. so as to be better
equipped for defensive play. In the sec
ond game Unglaub went to second and
Shipke 70 third. but the latter was badly
hurt in the second inning and Delehanty
had to again take his old place while Bob
went over to third.
Neither side scored in the first two In
nings. ai,nough Clymer hung up the first
base hit in the second round by beating
third inning, Josh Clarke hunted safely
which was the first hit OF Hughes. but
when the Nationals came to the bat in the
same inning there was something doing to
please the fans"
Hughes Started Things.
Hughes was the first man up. and he
surprised everybody with a clean single
70 left center. Pickering followed with a
roller to Perring. and Tom was forced out
1t second Ganley then caught one of
loss fast ones on the end Of his bat and
lined 1t into right. Pickering scampering
all the way to third. Ungiaub followed
with a slow roller toward third. and as
Pick had made an early start for home.
Bradley had to get the batter at first
while the feet-footed Ollie dashed over
The rubber.
In the sixth the Nationals second and
last tally developed. Delehanty reached
first when Stovall dropped Bradleys SEN
sational assist. Clymer went out. Joss to
Stovall. while Del went to second. Free
man followed with a beautiful single into
light, and Delehanty came all the way
home.
After that It was one two three for the
tocals, as Joss was at his best, but the
damage had been done, and the game be-
bnged to Washington.
