nate Nationals came in for another dou-
bic dose yesterday afternoon. They drop
ped the first game. 8 to ., Dolly Gray
working against young Woods. and the
second game went to q. with the new
milwaukee, accession, Pape. in the box
against Groom.
As the hour for beginning the first game
i4pproached It did not look bit as II
there would he a game. the skies were
overcast and IL began to shower. Not
f,vithstaudipg the crowds began to gather.
lRud after tine game had started the rain
ceased and tho sport proceeded without
interruption and WAS much enjoyed ny
'ihe S.oni people who turned out.
The Heaving Was Grand
They saw some mighty good ball play
1nc The pitching was first-class on both
'sides, and there was some fine work In
the field hy both teams. too. The Ma
'-ionals were certainly in very dilapi-
dated condition. Browne has been obliged
10 remain out of the game, owing to his
'ismeness, which is still most pronounced
and he had To leave the game In the thfrd
inning of the second contest. Bianken,
ship took his place Conroy mas itmped
Through the visit here. and he was all In
in the second game, so Ungiaub was sta
toned at third and Lelivet went TO rlSht,
Milan going to center.
The Nationals ascribe the loss OF the
first game TO a decision of Umpire Egan,
who refused to allow an out at first on
hall that Delchanty threw low TO Dononue
in the fourth inning. Donohue claimed he
hold his hand against the ball while 1t
was on the ground and was entitled to
the decision. However. he did not get 1t
and that decision gave an opening that re-
suited i'll tho scoring of three runs by the
locals.
IT was costly for the Nationals, for
everything went against them I'm that in
ming. Street was unable to throw the ball
with his usual accuracy and the locals
stole three bases in the inning.
Almost-But Not Quite.
The Nationals tried very hard to close
rp the game and by good hitting made
two runs I'm the next inning, but that was
au After that they twice had man on
second
1t was very much the same kind of
story with Boston, for after they rolled
their three runs they could not add to
their score and after that one man saw
first up TO the eighth. when with men
on first and third and one out they could
not get to the rubber.
Bob Ungiaub played a fine game in right
I'm the first contest and Mcbride and Dom
ohue acquitted themselves with credit,
while the fact that the Nationals were
kept off the bases was due in no small
measure to the splendid work of Lord,
Wagner and Stahi, while Hooper did great
work in the outfield. one of his catches
being the star play of the day.
Lelivelt was the only one of either side
who batted safely twice.
Both sides retired in order in the first
round. Lelivet registered the first hit IN
the second inning, but was doubled by
Del on the latter's bounder to wagner.
In Boston's half Gessler landed Texas
jeaguer in left that both Mcbride and
Milan chased. the former getting one
hand on the ball and dropping it. Wagner
tried bunt and forced Gessler. Stahl
was easy for Milan and Wagner was
caught trying to steal.
Both sides had the end of the batting
order up i'm the third inning and no one
reached first. In the fourth, after Milan
had hoisted to Hooper, Conroy took sec
ond on a low throw of Wagner. Unglaub
walked and was forced by DonOhue Con-
roy reaching third where he was left, as
1elivet famed.
Got Three Big Ones.
Three runs were the portion of the To-
Gals as their half OF the fourth. With
one down, Lord was passed and stole
second, Street dropping the ball. Cess
Ter stole second. and with Niles out to

DeTs low throw on ball that bounded
off Gray. Lord scoring. Then Wagner
hunted and double steal worked, Street
throwing low TO third. Stahl was pur-
poselv passed, but this worked poorly
