Those fighting Nationals who. some
time ago. could have been referred 10 as
q strong team on paper. although at
times rather weak on grass. gave the St
Louis pen1ant aspirants g parting Jolt
yesterday by scoring a cIesn-cut shut
out
That old element Of yuck that played
such a conspicuous part in the only vic
tory the Browns were able 10 score in
the four games refused 10 interfere with
The proceedings yesterday. and as a result
1IcAleer's would-Lke-to-be champions
never had a chance While the National
had only two runs TO the good az the IN
ish. the score hardly shows the relative
playing Of the two teams. for in nine IN
nings not a single visitor reached third
base. and only TWO were able 20 keep
alive until they arrived at second
Bert keeley, ably assisted by BIZ
ShipIze, played the most prominent part
in the victory In most OF his games
previous 10 yesterday, Kelley was IN
fortunate in having one or two bad in
ninss. which have proven costly. but
yesterday the Chicago boy pitched in the
best form he has shown az National
Park this year For eight innings three
scattered singles. one OF which was an
i1aeId affair. was all the ST Louis slug
gers were able 10 co with Keeley's tan
raIizi-g twisters- In the ninth the young
ster let up somewhat and allowed a pair
Of singles but when the Browns threat
ened to upset the whitewash he tight
ened up and retired the side without any
scoring
Hit Bailey in Spots.
Texas BIZ Bailey. who pitched the
twelve inning tie. was on the mound for
the visitors. and while he pitched fairly
good bail he was not nearly as effective
as Kelley. Bailey was touched Up for one
or more hits IN each OF six innings and
passed three barters, one Of whom event
uaIly scored
With Kelley going IN grand shape. It
was BIZ S1ipze's trusty willow that
drove in the runs that won the game OF
the seven hits on Bailey three were made
by the dinlinU-lve third baseman and two
Of these were responsible for the runs
that gave Washington two out OF three
from the naughty Browns u addition
70 his timely c-Cuting Shipke played a
fast game ll the field and knocked down
two drives that had the ear-arIs OF
sareties
Tennessee" CLYDE Milan made the real
y most spectacular play OF the game
when he went almost 10 the cer-er-fieId
fence in The nth inning and made a cir
Gus catch of a drive from Williams bat.
while Williams go+ q round OF applause
tn the sixth when he copped a near single
from Gsuley's stick that was travelling
