With two runs needed to tie the same
number out, second and third loaded, and
George Mcbride at the bat in the final
half of the ninth yesterday. 1t looked as
Il the Nationals would repeat their VIC
tory Of Monday. when the same George
put the game on fee with smoking drive
10 left field, but Mac only popped 10
knight. and it was al over. New York
won. 10 :. capturing the fourth game
of the series.
Although the Nationals did not deserve
TO win on account Of wretched fielding
behind their pitchers yet Umpire Egan,
had he rendered a decision in the ninth
according 10 rules, would have allowed
three runs to count, placing the figures
at nine runs each and giving the locals a
lighting chance. Killifer banged the ball
out OF Laporte's reach In left field for a
two-bagger. The pellet bounded out of
sight, and for that reason should have
gone as a homer. although fast work by
the FEEDERS held Kilifer at second UNI
pire Egan. IN spite OF the protests by
Manager AfcAleer and others, refused TO
concede the point, and IN consequence
was surrounded by an angry mob when
the game was over.
Visitors Are Outbatted.
The Nationals outbatted the visitors
connecting with Hughes offerings for
enough hits 10 win two games, but costly
throws and miserable fumbles at critical
stages let in enough Yankee runs 10 keep
them far enough abreast after the sixth
inning so they were never headed, al
though cheerful bat music in the ninth
kept the crowd in the stands until long
after the supper hour.
Three twirlers were used up by Man
ager McAleer, and of the trio young
Hinrichs. who worked the last three
rounds. gave the best account OF him
self. Doc Reisling started out and only
lasted two stanzas. then Frank Oberlin
worried along for four innings. when he
butted into a bunch of trouble and in
stead OF keeping hits down TO a mini
mum. played the part OF philanthrOpist,
and issued free transportation Just when
the Highlanders needed men on the bags.
Only one safe swat was made off Hin
richs during the time he was on the
slab and had his support not blown I'D
in the seventh, the yOungster would have
scored a shut-out
McAleer made shift in his lineup
just before the game started, placing
Elberfeld CD third and Schaefer at sec
ond The experiment worked so well
tina the change will be permanent for
the present.
Danger signals were in evidence from
the start OF the gun, when HemphiI, first
up for the Highland clan, banged safely
70 center for a single. WOlter was hand
ed four bad ones. Chase died, Mcbride to
Unglaub. Laporte skipped a bounder into

his return 10 hts first love by. slamming
the ball into the crowd, allowing two
runs TO score.
Nationals Score Three Runs.
This apparently safe Yankee lead did not
bother the Nationals bit, for they came
right back in the final half of the first
inning and scored three runs Milan
walked Lelivelt hitsone through Hughes.
Elberfeld's grounder TO Knight was too
slow for the lanky shortstop to field over
TO Chase. and the bases were full KILL
fer singled TO center. sending In Milan.
McBride's slam was fumbled by Hughes.
and Lelivelt came home. schaefer and
Unglaub went down in order, but Street
beat. out an inheld tap and Elberfeld
raced across the plate. Score, Nationals
8, Yankees 2
After Reisling had carefully tucked
away Austin and Sweeney IN the second. |
Hughes drove the ball over Milan's head
for three-bagger. Then, to add 10 the
misery, Reisllng made a wild pitch. on
which Hughes came home, tieing the
score.
The Nationals forged ahead one run in
the third Mcbride persisted, knight TO |
Chase. Schaefer banged a pretty two !
Dagger to deep left and reached third on |
Knights tumble Of Streets grounder. |
Then funny play was pulled off, which !
Melted the Nationals a tally. Sweeney |
caught Schaefer mapping with lightning |
throw 70 Austin. and the Teuton, instead |
OF trying 10 scamper back, dashed for |
home. He made a quick turn TO avoid |
Sweeney, and the ball went into left field, /
giving Germany q chance to scoot across |
the plate. Street tried TO score also, but /
was caught by six feet at home.
This run put the Nationals In the lead /

oberlin took up the reins when the third
opened. and for two innings WIS invinc- /

disposed of, Chase drove up a little fiv 10
Killifer, which the latter muffed. and Hal
