sTANDING ONE YEAR AGO TODAY.

Not content with grabbing Tuesdays
dOuble-header against CanulOn's tribe.
the philadelphia Athletics came back
yesterday stronger than ever and re-
peated the dose. Scores, to l. and
TO 0.
With a succession Of timely swats or
Groom. the White Elephants blazed their
way to victory IN the opener. Every
misplay by the Nationals helped out In
the hunt for runs. Eddie Plank had his
south side curls working nicely and Ike
Dygert and Bender on Tuesday never
gave the locals much of a chance TO do
any punching, though his delivery was
damaged nine hits worth.
Tom Hughes, who. like Aviator Wright
took a trip skyward in the first battle
Tuesday, was matched again yesterday
against young Harry Krause. tOuted as
the sensation Of the season IN American
League circles. Krause mad all the best
OF the duel. and his team also snatched
oil the runs.
Hughes started out finely and Il looked
as II the visitors would at least get a
run for their money. but the fifth saw
q weird bit Of work on the part Of George
Browne, which. with three timely swats,
put the game away beyond recall as far
as Washington was concerned.
OF the double bill the only feature was
the box work of Krause, the little south
paw proving beyond doubt that he de-
serves all the good things the newspapers
have said about him. Krause allowed
only four hits. and but one home player
saw third base

was wide. Mcbride took advantage Of
the error and crossed the plate A min
ute later Livingston got a nasty clip on
his meat hand and had 20 retire In favor

Groom settled down and blanked the
foe in the fourth. but in the fifth Baker

proper shape. Not a hit or a run did the
Athletics get off his delivery.

Hughes certainly had the best wishes of
the rooters. but after four rounds had
transpired, It was painfully seen that he
