The Nationals simply outdid themselves
yesterday by beating their seasons con-
secutive victory record. defeating Cleve-
land by the score of to >. which makes
three in a row. They have won two
games in rotation several times. but yes
terday was the first trio and everybody
filed out of the park in the greatest good
humor. On account OF starting the game
a 2:3o the sun was very hot and the
players suffered a great deal. but the 10
Gals apparently much less than the visi-
tors. The fact that the Nationals have
been playing very good bali of late and it
being the last opportunity of seeing
firSt-clasS game for over a month, served
TO draw out one of the largest crowds of
the season. The spectators Sweltered and
egroaned during that first inning. but
when luck came our way in the second,
the heat was forgotten and entirely disap-

Fred Falkenberg was on the rubber for
the locals, and it locked as though the
Napoleons had his measure in the first
inning. lacing out two singles and a
doubles, but after that he was the king pin
OF the outfit. permitting the visitors to
make single in the third and another in
the seventh, five in all After Falken-
berg ineffective work in the first inning
II hardly seemed possible for him to nG Ike
such complete revolution, but he did
and those who were jeerng him at the
Start-on remained to cheer.
Manager Lajoie trotted out left-hand-
er named baltimore and as the locals had
ca ptured two games. the prophets bobbed
up on all sides with their predictions for
a victory for the Blues. But baltimore
was given poor support and finally blew
up in the fifth.
Locals Fielded Brilliantly.
The game fairly bristled with brilliant |
plays from the Nationals but the same
cannot be said of the Blues. their three
misplays being unusually costly. as they |
let in trio of runs. Falkenberg made a +!

Turner was still out OF the Cleveland
lineup and George Nil. the ex- National
covered the position. Mil funbled his
first chance but did well therea fter while
Iajo.e threw the ball into the grandstard
