with Hartzell on second Newman singled
to left Lelivelt fumbled the ball slightly:
HartZell. of course, is fast man, ana
yet after making the tumble Lelivet
foolishly threw to the plate. thus allow
ing Newman to go to second. putting
him in a position to score on single,
when If he. had been held at first. as ne
should have been, Schweitzer's hit would
not have allowed him to score.
Lelivelt has been in the game long
enough now to at least have this simple
play figured out, but he errs on 1t nearly
every time it comes up.
The ak fell on Hardy and Foreman
yesterday. Hardy has been willing
worker for the team, though his abllty
was not sufficient to allow him to break
into the game. Foreman never gave
promise of being of major league CAMPER.
There is never much to do for the
outfield when Johnson is in form: Yes
terday but one fly was hit out and Milan
captured this off Hoffman's bat
1t is remarkable how a player can de-
teriOrate in a very short space of time.
Last year there was not more valuable
man on the local team than Bob Unglauo
Not only did he hold his own in the
field regardless in what position he was
played, but he was by far the most can
gerous man on the team with the bat.
In fact, he was the cleanup man for
the Nationals and most of their vic
tories could be directly attributed to his
good stick work.
For some unaccountable reason, unless
it is the loss of nerve. Unglaub has been
of little value in any way to the team
this year. He started poorly with the
stick and this fact seemed to unnerve him
SO that his fielding and general playing
McAleer cannot figure on Bob as his
first baseman in the future. He must
find some one to take his place and that
is not an easy matter. Cngiaub may
come back to his old form next year or
even this fall. but confidence in him has
been shaken for the reason that he has
allowed his batting slump to affect his
general playing.
In rebuilding the Nationals the precau-
ton must be taken not to let any OF
the present material get away until 1t
has been clearly established that as good
or a better man has been found for each
place. That is the principle on which the
team must be reorganized. To make
changes simply for the sake of satisfying
the disgruntled is not the policy of NC
Aleer. He proposes to know that he mas
bettered his team every time he makes a
change, and this is the only scheme that
will ever prove successful.
Here is how that tie game happened
yesterday: The. Browns scored a couple
Of runs in the third. which Stone opened
with a scientific hit past johnson. He
took second on a wild pitch. Hartzell tried
to move him up with a sacrifice. but
Johnson got the ball and had plenty or
time to force Stone at third. but threw
wild, and Stone scored, HartZell taking
second. Wallace singled, scoring Hart
zell, but Johnson then struck out
Schweitzer and Hoffman.
In the fifth the visitors got two runs on
a pass to Hartzell, his steal and singles
by Newman and Schweitzer.
The Nationals runs came in the fourth
and eighth. In the fourth passes to Cess
Ter and Mcbride, Killifer's sacrifice and
Crouch's error. together with hits by
Street and Milan, Melted three runs. In
