until he gave three men their bases In
the sixth inning and then yielded to
RYAN, who was hit so hard in the last
that he. too, had TO get down and out,
and Arelianes, who pitched the second
game as well, came in, and more through
good luck than aught else, succeeded in
escaping In that inning. Tannehill
pitched for Washington and was hit
very hard at times.

second game. and he furnished brill
liant article of ball. while Altrock start
