ball AS the following play turned out
Miller hit to Pape and Leliveh was an
easy out at third Mcbride closed the in

other chance where the Nationals could
have scored on hit was in the fourth
when Killifer was on second and Lelivelt
on first with one out, but Yohe was called
out on strikes and Miller forced Lelivelt
at second.
You have to hand 1t to young Pape. He
has an easy delivery and apparently lays
the ball on the bat, but the locals found
it extremely hard to land, especially when
hit was needed. It's the same old story
of a pitcher having nothing, but not be-
ing hit.
Bob Unglaub did little quick thinking
yesterday and as a result probably shut
off q run and surely robbed Jake Stahl
of a triple. Jake soaked one almost to

flash, Bob called to KERN to watch the
big fellow turning first. Jake missed the
bag by foot; Bob called for the ball,

out for not touching first. The drive was
a beauty. Lelivelt was away down the
field and ran with the crack of the bat.

be given credit for taking the chances.

George Mcbride was certainly the star
