CLEVELAND, Ohio. May 20--Both
teams displayed a surprising amount Of
ginger and fight when Cleveland beat
Washington here yesterday by Z to f.
Lajoie tried new batting order him
self abandoning the place Of honor in
the batting order. that of heavy hitter,
in favor of Lord. Briscoe got home
run the first time up, and probably that
drive Injected new life into The down
hearted Maps.
The acquisition of the Chicago trio,
and the fact that Captain Donohue was
in the game seemed 10 have a good
effect on the Nationals. for they were
up and doing at all times. In the face
of six-run lead, they did not despair.
but in the eighth inning hammered
Young's offerings for three runs.
1t was lighting spirit that even the
indulgent Nap fans were forced to ad-
mire, and they applauded the Nationals.
Donohue kept his men on the jump
from start to finish. and set them
good example both at bat and in the
field, starring in both branches.
Donohue looks ike the right man in
the right place fer Washington, and
with Cantillon to give orders and Jiggs
on the job 10 see that Lhey are executed
the Nationals should shortly start TO
increase their percentage.
When Greek meets Greek then comes
the tug-of-war. Probably the Iowly
and luckless Maps, and still lowlier and
more luekless Nationals can't be termed
Greeks in the true sense of the word,
but still they hooked UP in 4 tug-of-
war Wednesday. The Maps tugged TO
Keep their distance from last place,
while the Nationals tugged and tugged

tugged best and won, to 4.
Neither team has been blessed with
much good fortune this season. Luck
had TO favor one JT the Slher and the
Maps were the lucky individuals They
Gid not object 70 this advantage, but
despite the fact that they had a COM
paratively safe lead from start to
finish, LajOie's men were not confident
Milan, who made the twenty-seventh
National to be retired.
That only Gces to prove how much
luck has come the Maps way Both
teams played good ball. and if the Ma
tionals had had the breaks Of the game
instead OF the Maps, LaJoie's boys
would have had their seventh straight
defeat chalked against them.
Young and Smith were the opposing
pitchers; Both were batted often and
hard. Sharp fielding held the score to

olngles were infield rollers, and two Of
the Nationals ten swafs were of the
same kind.

FEELS THE SLUMP
MORE THAN FANS
Manager Totally Unable to Faith
ON Cause of Teams
Failure.
BY THOMAS S. PIcE.

Out West this spring Manager Can
tillon spoke on this wise:
Il feel that the Washington club Is
going to be a winner this season be-
cause every man on it is sure of his
position. de does not have TO wOrry
about making good, but can devote him
self exclusively to perfecting inside play
with his teammates. He will be fun of
confidence because he will understand
that If for any reason ! should get rid
OF him he would land another major
league BERTH" etc, etc, to column or
so.
Also, it is to laugh, in view of sub
sequent developments. Shipke, Kelley
and Freeman have already been shunted
back to the minors. Ganley was saved
from that fate because the Athletics
were the only club that failed to waive
on him. and clyde Milan is thought 60
be practically doomed. 10 say nothing
of the uncertain futures Of Tannehil
and Clymer, and the lending of Nike
kahoe to Minneapolis to take the place
OF Bill Rapp, who is nursing fractur-
ed thumb.
Greatest of Reversals.
Never in the history OF baseball has
there been such a complete reversal Of
expectations as is shown by comparing
Cantilion.s spring statement, which was
honestly meant and looked mighty good
at that time, with the feverish trading
and selling that has been going on
among the Nationals in the past few
days. InsteaR Of every man feeling that
his calling and election to a Washing
ton berth was sure. the entire team is
Il
with the exception OF Walter johnson
and Charley Street has the slightest
idea whether he wiz be wearing
Washington uniform tomorrow or be
speeding on his wey 10 a bush outfit.
The most bitterly disappointed man
in the entire miniature tragedy is Can
fillon himself. He had set his heart on
making great showing in the Amer
ican League. II would have been thg
cTowning achievement Of a baseball
career of about twenty-five years and
he could have retired from the major
circuit 10 look after his business inter
ests elsewhere with the feeling that he
had accomplished results and shown
himself to be a manager among man
ayers. The form for a showing was
there on paper. and he and his men
were full Of confidence.
Apples Of Sodom.
But when the season opened he found
he had been cherishing apples of Sodom,
which turned to ashes when he sat him
self down for the feast. Whether he
has wrought wisely with the material
at hand in his efforts to build uD a win
ner Is question difficult TO answer be-
cause OF the diSlnclination OF ball play
ers 10 tell their troubles TO outsiders,
but the supporters Of the club-the men
and women who pay the admission fees
Tnat keep the mare going-are dis
cOuraSed, not to saw diSgusted when
they see their visions dissipated and the
realization comes upon them the team
holds out no indications of doing even
manager is the favorite recourse of a
disappointed baseball public, and Can
fillon is getting his fun share of that
experience now. but IL would be as well
10 remember that he feels even worse
about IL than the most rabid fan in the
city.
