Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-10-02

NEW YORK, October 2.-Several hum
dred of Gotham's dyed-in-the-w fans
visited the Hilltop yesterday afternoon to
welcome home the Yankees from the glo-
rious pennant- killing occidental trip and
were rewarded to the rare treat of High
land success. With Manager Kid Elber-
field, who viewed the edifying struggle
from box because of his run-in with
Silk O'Loughlin, the faithful saw the trail
ers take fall out of Washington in de-
cidedly scrappy argument by the score OIL
= to i. Victory was dOubly sweet to the
plaided clan. for in slowing away the YER
dict the home brew handed Walter john
son his bumps. the first time such has
happened on the home lot this year This
star yOungster of Cantillon's stable on the
last visit of the Nationals, thrice shut
out the Yanks in as many days. New
York's tally in the third inning was con-
sequently the first the Tabasco Kids toll
erS were able to crowd over on the big
fellow in thirty innings.
The decision might not have been a IA
vOrable one but for the gallant perform
ance of the Yankee colts who helped ma
terially in the teams fine showing in the
west The presence of Gardner and
ORourke about the keystone bag seems to
have strengthened the inf1eld 80 per cent.
Each OF these youngsters appears fast,
heady and accurate, and their defensive
exhibition was all that could be asked.

Gardner. especially, looked all to the
good. He started fast double play at
q critical moment by tagging runner on
the lines on a neat pickup and showed
the way in the clouting of Johnson with
two fancy doubles down left foul line.
One of these he converted into the
first run. Cree. the new gardener, was
less fortunate with the ash, but he saved
the game from overtime by one of the
most sensational catches shown about
these parts this year 1t robbed Clymer
of home run, or triple at least and as
Freeman followed with a safe rap shut
off what would have been the tying run.
CHESHIRE pitched a mighty fine game, but
ike his opponent, was wild This wild
ness got him into several bad holes from
which heady pitching and strong support
alone saved him. AS an Illustration, in
the fifth inning four batsmen got on with
out hit and none scored. Moriarty's
error, a hit batsman and two passes fur
nished the setting for the triumph. Mo-
riarty muffed Chesbro's toss on Streets
bunt to open the round and Jack hit john
son on the arm. When Milan raped to
Gardner. the youngster tagged Johnson
and doubled Milan at first. Then Ches-
bro filled the bases with passes, but Gard
ner again got Clymer's warm lick to first
in time. On couple more occasions
things were ticklish for Chesbro. Street
doubled down the first base line with one
out in the ninth. Pickering batted for
Johnson and soaked hard low liner to-
ward left center. which ORourke neatly
gathered close to the carpet and chucked
to Gardner for double play.
Clymer Starts Trouble.
Washington broke the ice in the second
inning. Clymer walked and stole and
came in on McBrides hit to center after
Freeman ballooned. Street also singled
but kleinow got both Shipke and johnson
on weak taps in front of the pan. Free
man got to second in the fourth when
his third strike got through Kleinow, Nc
Bride was safe on O'Rourkes muff of
liner in the sixth and Freeman singled
with two down in the eighth, but none
could make che passage.
The Yankees had great chance to
score q bundle of runs in the third. but
could effect only one. Gardner doubled to
left and Kleinow walked, both advancing
on Chesbro's sacrifice. McIlveen also
strolled, filing the bases. Mcbride could
not hold Conroy's warm lick and Gardner
Tailed. Cree hit to Freeman, who choked
Kleinow at the plate. and Hemphill boost
ed to center.
The winning run came in the seventh.
Kleinow walked to start 1t and ChesbrO
again sacrificed. McIlveenS clean single
to right brought home the tOw-headed
catcher The score:
