Yah, E-Yah,' Ee-e-Yah. Yah...
Hugh Jennings and his band PERFORM
ed in the Nationals yard again yester-
day, but with the exception of few
blades of grass, which Hughey tucked
into his haversack, and large bunch Of
peonies, presented to he of the Yah,
1ahn by admiring friends. the visitors
carried away nothing tangible when the
contest was ended. The final score, Ma
tionals 8, Detroit ,, tells the story but
feebly.
Groom. who served up the slants for
the locals, tanned the voracious Tigers
TO the point of docility, and during the
whole nine rounds of the session at 7th
street and Florida avenue they rolled
over, played dead and executed all the
other tricks in their repertoire, obedient
to his every command. Groom struck
out Crawford the first time up, and
twice in the session he caused the
mighty Tyrus Cobb to whiff the atmos-
phere- Only by grace OF inserting a
portion of his anatomy in the path of
one OF the shoots did Bush start the
visitors toward their first tally, and
even then only one run would have re-
suited had not Milan and Browne mixed
their signals. SO that O'Leary's high fly
dropped safely between them, thus per-
mittins Cobb to make the circuit from
first base. scoring the second run.
Only four safe hits were made by the
doughty Detroit swatters. and while
they failed to shine with the willow
they also mixed several punches of
lurid fielding with no G,
teen hits. and the six runs which came
from the combination placed the victory
safely in Marse Joe'S strong box
Waiting for Mullin.
In every department of the great ma
tional game, and from the sound of the
gong until Moriarity ended the ninth by
flying out to Milan, the Cantillonites out
shone the league leaders, and ii the fans
had not been taught TO exoect disap-
pointment the ultimate result would have
been to them never in doubt. In fact,
the faithful rooter was SO impressed with
the showing made by the Nationals in
their two victories over the champs yes
terday and Friday that he is already
speculating on the possibility of the locals
putting crimp into Mullins unbroken
string when the latter mounts the slab
Monday.
Much might be written about the
stunts in inside base ball which Mr..
Cantillon's youngsters pulled off in the
course of the celebration. High bound
ers. low bounders, bunts and safetics
were dropped into the vicinity of third
base with such frequency that OLeary
might well have been in a daZe when It
was all over. In the fourth for example,
Milan pulled UP on second when Bush
failed TO assimiate his high fly in short
left field and he slid safely into third
while OLeary was throwing out I'm
glaub at first. And an attempt at the
squeeze play by Milan and Mcbride failed
only because Mcbride missed connections
with the ball and Schmidt literally ex-
ecuted swimming motions In the dust
over home plate in his haste to head of
the speedy runner. Again In this inning
Schmidt stopped a slide by reclining on
the plate when Mcbride came all the
way home from first on the catchers
poor throw to prevent the pilfering of
second and Crawford's error in center
but this time the runner was safe
Again In the sixth. after Schmidt had
been hurt for the third time by foul

to Stanage, Browne on first and Street
on third engineered coup with their
successful delayed steal. Browne drawing
the throw TO second while Street counted.
Fun Starts in First Round.
The fun began in the first inning. After
Mcintyre, Bush and Crawford had perish
ed in order and Browne, in the Nationals
half. had expired. Summers to Moriarity
Conroy hit a lively one through Schaefer.
stole second and came home on Jggers
screeching two-sacker along the left field
foul line.
The 6.3S4 fans who crowded the inclos-
ure howled mighty howl of derision in
the fourth round. when hit followed by
three errors In row. enabled Mcbride
to come home with the locals second run.
The hit which enabled George to reach
first base was of the scratchy variety and
when he started to steal second Schmidt
threw low to Germany Schaefer and
Crawford permitted the pellet to evade
him In center garden-and thus George
scored. Seven Washington batsmen faced
Summers in the sixth. Milan opened with
single to center. was forced at second
by Ungiaub. but the latter went to sec
ond on McBrides hit to left and counted
on Streets safety to center. Mcbride
pulled up third. only to register a
moment later on passed ball. This
same wobble carried Street to third and
after Browne had walked the pair exc
cuted a very pretty delayed steal. Street
scoring when his teammate drew a throw
10 second. The Locals last run came in
the seventh on d base on balls to Del,
Donohoes sacrifice and singles by Milan
and Cnglaub.
The Tiger tribe scored twice in the
seventh lush was hit by Groom and

while Cobb was forcing Crawford al
second and counted on Mcr:arity's sac
rifice fly TO Milan Cobb, who had been
held at first by the catch. made the cir
cult in safety when Milan and Browne
jointly tried to capture O'Learys high
fly and stopped just short of collision
to let the ball drop safely between them.
That ended the visitors chances. though
