as if it would be hit when Donohue
knocked it down. but the ball. instead of

passed, as Street did not care to chance
a long drive. and Birmingham famed for
a second time, Street muff1ng the third
strike, but picked up the ball long before
Stovall could run in from third.
No Hits-But a Run.
The Maps got another run in the fourth,
this one without the semblance of hit
After Perring had rolled to Unglaub,
Street let Bradley's third strike leak
through his hands and roll to the grand
stand Ball then laid slow roller down
along third Conroy tried to make quick
throw to Donohue, as Ball is fast man,
and heaved wide and low. When Dono-
hue returned the ball to the infield Brad
ley was across the plate, while Ball was
resting on third. Young then hit to Nc
Bride who threw Ball out at the plate
Old Cy then surprised the Nationals and
every one of the 1901 fans present by
stealing second. Street was so surprised
and chagrned that he did not even make
the throw to second Flick flied TO Milan.
The holes in Grooms support were then
plugged up for d short time. StovaE and
Easterly were easy in the fifth, but I'm
glaub leaped about umsteen feet IN the
air to pull down Hinchman's terrific line
smash with his gloved hand. 1T was a
spectacular catch, to say the least.
With one down in the sixth Perring
bunted safely along third. The Nationals
called the turn on Bradley when he sig
nailed for the hit and run and refused to
be pulled out of position After Bradley
had flied to Browne. Perring pulled off
that copyrighted steal, the trimmings of
which have already been set forth above
The seventh brought to light another un-
usual play With two down, Flick con-
nected with the ball for a red-hot grass
cutter toward right Donohue and ing
glaub both made for the ball and by a
herculean effort Bob succeeded in getting
his gloved hand In the spheres path 1t
was impossible for Donohue to get back
to first to take the throw, but Bobby
Groom was on the job and received the
toss before Flick touched the bag.
'Twasn't Hovlick's Fault.
The Maps scored their second pair of
runs in the eighth. with Hovlick on the
firing line end Cliff Blankenship on the
receiving end. McByide got the youngster
In bad at the start when he muffed
Stovall's pop fly, the Nap first sacker
reaching second base. Easterly tried to
sacrifice and bunted to Conroy. Iinch-
man drew a pass and the runners ad-
vanced on the hit and run when Birming-
ham grounded to Mcbride.
The fact that the Maps were trying
the hit and run is the only thing that
prevented a double play. Hinchman slid
ing into second just when Mac was ready
to make the throw. Perring followed with
a long smash to right for three bases,
scoring Stovail and Hinchman, but died
on third when Bradley flied to Milan.
