By WILLIAM PEET.

again yesterday, and gave the fans a cor
rect imitation of the best pitcher In the
American League. Hughey Jennings
Tigers, two-time champions. went down
IN game fight by l 10 0.
The good-looking johnson boy allowed
only four hits. famed seven, gave Cobb
a base on balls Intentionally. and. with
gilt-edged support behind him, not a
single Tiger reached third base.
Killan, the visiting southpaw. was in
vincible in the clinches. He was hit
freely enough. but kept the seven swats
well scattered. Bush at snort and O'Leary
at third were the busy twins all right
while George Mcbride. for the home
folks. put up the grandest exhibition of
his career IN the Capital George ae-
cepted ten chances without the semblance
OF an error, and how that boy did shoot
'em over TO first. He killed Ty Cobb and
Matty Mcintyre with lightning-iike
slams, as these gentlemen do not let the
grass grow under them while sprinting
down the flrst-base path
DOnOhue's Great Catch.
The most sensational stunt came in the
second. when Donohue grabbed Conroy's
Wild throw with his gloved hand a frac-
ton Of a second before O'Leary dashed
across the sack. The big crowd almost
yelled itself into a hoarseless heap.
"Jigger'' was a hero for the time being,
but the same tickle crowd called out
sarcastic things to him in the fifth, when
he singled cleanly TO right and ''Ty''
Cobb whizzed the ball to Moriarity ahead
OF him "Jigger" evidently thought he
had plenty Of time to complete the jour
ney and did not hustle.
It looked mighty bad for we'uns in the
first round, when Mcintyre led or with
healthy single. took second on a sacrifice,
but was killed in trying to steal third
on Streets perfect throw. Crawford, the
man IN the batter's box at the time,
smashed out q two-bagger. and Cobb.
next up. was purposely walked. Moriar-
ity sent Mcbride a grounder, and the
ball went to Delehanty ahead Of Cobb,
forcing that worthy out at second, retir-
ing the side.
Detroit was never dangerous after that
In the fourth Crawford started of with
hit, but never saw second. and the three
succeeding runners went down in turn.
Nationals Winning Tally.
washingtons only run, the winning
tally. came IN the third. Street drew a
base on balls. and went 20 second on
Johnson's grounder to OLeary. George
Brownies sharp single to right advanced
Street 20 third, and Wild Conroy smashed
a ripping grounder at young Mr. Bush.
who stopped the ball all right, but slip
ped as he was balancing for a throw.
This little slip-up cost the Tigers the
game, for Street scored from third and
Conroy was safe at first Wild was
forced at second a minute later On Dele
hanty's grounder to Moriarlty and DON
ohue ended the inning with liner 10
Cobb. which the Georgia Peach caught
without being forced to move out of his
tracks.
In only three innings did the Tigers
have men on bases. Walter Johnson had
beautiful control and fine speed. sam
Crawford connected safely for two hits
but the mighty Cobb was easy picking.
Claud ROssman. the big first baseman.
on whom the Detroits have asked waivers
and for whom the Nationals have made a
bid. is still with the team. He was or
dered to hit for Bush in the ninth, but
died on grounder 70 Mcbride.
Bush a willing Worker.
Both teams played errorless ball. Bush.
the visiting shortstop. showed his will
ingness TO go after everything that came
his way. Yesterday was his first appear
ance in this town. and he possesses the
earmarks Of one of the leading short
stops in the American League. The good
things said OF this youngster were verified
yesterday.
The same teams are scheduled for a
game this afternoon. Manager CantiIIon
