Walter Johnson looked good az the

reellg--fn work. only ten Of the home
players going TO bat in that time. Cess
Ter. il the second. got a hit. but with
this exception the other batsmen we're
retired as fast as they came up.

Golden Opportunity Lost.
How the Nationals made their one run
II the seventh has been described. but
how they failed TO make runs in the
second inning. when they had a grand
chance TO sew up the game right then. Is
another story. They had three men on
bases, with none out. and yet they could
not work one Of them across the rubber.
Delehanty led of with a pretty single.
Clymer followed with another lust ike
Il. and Chech passed ConToy.
Cantillon was on the coaching line.

as II there was going 10 be something
doing in the way Of rUns- The best that
Milan could DO was a bounder to Chech.
and Delehanty was forced az the plate.

Up at first. but the umpire decided that
he was safe. The bases were still fun

complexion OF things by tanning Street
johnson was third out on an easy ground
ef. which Mcconnell felded 10 first. Thus
was the golden opportunity lost, and the
Nationals hopes went a-giimmering.
