Delehanty and Clymer Kick
Themselves Out of
the Game.
FREEMAN HAS SPAT
WITH TOM HUGHES
Unseemly Contentious With I'm
pire and Among Themselves
Cause Nationals to Lose.
Rv THOMAS S RICE.


Looked like those stories Of troubles
among Canullons men were based on
something stronger than surmlse when
Cleveland beat Washington in Cleveland
yesterday By to 5.
The big feature was the biow-up Of
Tom Hughes in the seventh inning when
Washington had a lead of two runs.
Hughes simply went 10 pieces and was
allowed 10 stay on the job until the
Maps had pounded out enough TALES
TO cinch the game. The story that the
trouble began with a fuss between Free
man and Hughes because Hughes failed
20 cover first on a blow TO Freeman has
an unpleasant ring that indicates sore
ness. Also, the election of Clymer and
Delehanty from the game because OF
their unseemly remarks TO Umpire silk
OLOughlin may be taken as an evil
dence that everybody was in a bad
humOr and willing 10 relieve his feelings
at the expense OF the first victim who
happened along, umpire or fellow-player.
Keep Peace a Long Time.
The wonder is not that there is prob
ably friction in the club at this time. but
that it has not broken out before. Can
tillon has gathered together the great
est bunch OF scrappers and hard men
10 handle that ever dined at the same
table, ana IL Is really remarkable that
they have kept the peace so long. II
they Will only content themselves with
lighting the ball. instead OF lndulging
in the foolish tactics of trying 70 trim
OLoughlin and the other arbitraJorS
We may get more action out OF the team
than out Of a lot of mollyeoddles.
II is almost a Cincb that Delehanty
will be suspended for from three days 20
aaHr tan nd is a ia.t
likely TO draw a set-dOWn. That Will be
me business just at this time when the
hopes OF the fans were centered on
Delehanty and Clymer getting back in
TO the game TO boost the prospects that
doomed up when Bob Unglaub was
bought from Boston.
OIoughlin In Bad Form
All around the circuit there are COM
plants that OLoughIin is not as good
this year as he has been before. When
he last appeared here ne was so III he
could hardly ofhciate. but with Ban
JohnsoE's usual me discrimination silk
does not appear 10 have drawn more
than MS snare OF doubling up with the
reserv5 Jump, with the result that every
team in the league has suffered from
the Natural shortcomings of an invalid.
His work here was not especially good
at any time this year ana in spots IL
has been exceedingly raw. There may
nave been cause Tor DelehanIy and
CIymer TO make their roars yesterday
buC the outpOurings OF sJrong language
gained them nOLulng. and me club -
weakened by JneIr absence.
Throughout yesterday s game IL was
evident that the enure Washington
team was up in the air to lust aDOuC

over LaJOie's head trying 10 force Ed

Unglaub taxing third. Liebhardt' 5
error on Warner blow scored Unglaub.
Seventh Was Distressing.
The seventh was distressing. StovalI
singed and scored on Mig Clarke's triple.
Altizers single scored Clarke. Hinch-
man hit to Freeman and was safe when
Hughes did not cover the bag. A Wild
pitch naturally followed hughes con-
tentiOn with the first baseman ad-
vaucing the two runners. Liebhardt's
sacrifice yrsCored AlUiZer. Josh Clarke's
single drove in Hinchman from second.
Josh stole second and Tailed when the
unfortunate Freeman dropped Shipke' s
throw on Bradley's grOUuder.
Washington got two more in the
eighth Freeman singled took second
