Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLEVELAND. Ohio, August 25.-Those
forlorn hopes. the fallen Nationals and
the slipping Maps, clashed here yesterday.
The Maps won the decision. z to 0, thanks
to the clever pitching Of the ex-Nationai,
Cy Falkenberg. and the heavy batting OF
Perring. Lajoie and Easteriy.
The result was never in doubt. The
Nationals started out in sleepy fashion
and kept 1t up through the contest. At
times they displayed little flashes of wide
awake work, but not frequently enough TO
make the game interesting.
So listless was the Washington play and
SO sturdily did Falkenberg pitch the Can
tillonites never threatened except in the
third, when Stovalls throw nipped Tn
glaub at the plate.
seHairpin" Falkenberg pitched one OF his
best games of the year. His drop ball
was working to perfection. In only three
Three hits were all Cantillon's workmen
could make of Cy's drop delivery. In the
fourth Unglaub singled to left, stole sec
nnd and took third on Lelivelt's scratch
infield single.

aIinchman starred. Both teams played
errorless ball. Hinchman pulled off the
stellar fielding play In the fourth when

sensational play OF the game.
Mcbride put up q classy exhibition
IN the field, saving Witherup twice by
fine stops and throws.
The Washington outfelders made
three assists. Browne threw out Per-
rinr and Hinchman when they attempt
ed to stretch hits. Lelivelt. also. with
Shaefer's assistance. slammed out Per-
ring when he overran first In the n1tn
inning.
Perring, who replaced Bradley at
third in the second. was the CHIEF
stumbling block in the way OF the
washingtons. He made 2 single dou'
ing in the first three runs. and later he
scored a run himself.

Interest in base ball here is at low
ebb. The game yesterday brought out
one Of the smallest crowds Of the sea
son. The newly appointed Cleveland
manager, Jim Mcguire, expects to try
put as many Of the youngsters as pos pos
kible during the remainder OF the sea
son. All hope Of Cleveland finishing
better than the bottom OF the first di
Vision is gone.
