All the hungry past should be forgotten
since our Nationals have glutted the tally
market IN the course of single after
noon. In four spasms and one convul-
sion Of nature Ike unto an earthquake,
CantiIon's braves trimmed the Detroit
Tigers, 6 to . As this is the second VIC
tory in a row over the champions. the
patriots should set of few rockets or
open up keg OF pickles.
An outburst Of healthful exercise with
the bat brought about the new sensation
at National Park yesterday. "Knuekle
Bali Artist Summers got his bumps
proper. Thirteen real drives fell to the
tribe OF Cartillon. and then Little Pee
Wee Suggs took Up the burden for one
inning. after the slaughter had been COM
pleted
Singer No. 2 was broken OF IN the
league champs by the aid OF Groom's fine
twirling- Detroit was held powerless be-
fore his sweeping curls and quick-break-
ing slants. The Tigers never had better
than a passing look-in at the money.
Five Hits on Groom.
All Jennings strategy failed 10 bring
results. Runs cannot be scored unless
men are on the bags. and Groom did not
allow the visitors many privileges. The
Tigers grabbed FIVE hits OF the lanl1y
youth from the Coast, while fast work by
Mcbride and two snappy double plays
added to the general confusion and utter
rout Of the Michigan wonders.
While the Nationals consistent hitting
aided materially in the run hunt, It must
not be forgotten that Detroit's errors
helped some. while fast work on the
bases by Milan and Mcbride account FOR
two tallies.
Catcher Schmidt was the hard-luck kid,
and had to retire in favor OF Stanage in
the sixth. after receiving q spike in the
head and later crack on the end OF the
fingers from foul tip of, ,Unglaub's bat
Groom's pitching was the big scream of
the afternoon He was steady as a
clock and effective. striking out Ty Cobb
twice and Wahoo Sam Crawford once.

their clouting instead of whiting

COnroy sliced through Schaefer and stole
second. Delehanty fled to Mcintyre, but
Jiggs Donohue placed a pippin out OF
OLeary's reach at third for two bases,
and Conroy raced home.
Nationals Add Another.
Nothing happened for two innings.
but in the fourth Washington added
a chalk mark Milan. first I'D. popped

but dropped the ball. and before II
could be recovered Clyde was perched
on second. Unglaub sent OLeary a
sharp grounder. and while the latter
slammed the ball to first Milan sneak
ed around TO third. Mcbride was up
and somebody ordered the squeeze
play. Mac failed to bunt, and Milan.
Schmidt, and the ball were enveIoped

Umpire Egan. "Robber," cried the
fans. but according 10 Hoyle the fans
were overruled. Mcbride sent a slow
teaser down the third-base path. and
beat the throw. On the next ball
pitched he started for second, and kept
on running until home plate was
crossed. as Schmidt's throw to Schaefel
landed IN center field On the relay
the ball landed high in the catcher's
mitt, and Mcbride slid safely under
Score. Washington 2. Detroit 0.
Three more large. juicy tallies came
Washingtou's way in the sixth. Milan
led of with clean drive 10 center. but
was smOthered at second on Unglaub's
grourder TO Schaefer. McBride's single

skipped a beauty through Bush and
Schaofer, scoring Unglaub. while Nc.

The throw was high. and Browne reached
second and Street came home. Conroy
flied to Summers for the third out. Score
Nationals, 5; Detroit, 0.
Detroit Finally Scores.
The Tigers saved themselves from a
