OBERLIN EXPERIENCES
GENUINE TOUGH LUCK
Allows Only Three Passes and All Become Runs-Wash-
ington Scores Twice By ManfuI Swatting When
Quinn Weakens-Chase's Running.
By THOMAS s. RIcE.

Pure tough luck. Honestly. there is
no other way IN which TO express an
opinion OF that game Washington lost
IN New York yesterday by TO ?
Here this unfortunate Oberlir person
goes TO work and pitches game on
an exact par with that Of Quinn re-
ceives better support than Quinn and
yet he loses. Il IS an unkind blow OF
fate that deprives Washington Of tne
pleasure Of winning when its pitchers
happen TO have a good day, but tlIere
is no known way Of putting the kDosn
on the hoOdOo.
Oberlin allowed six hits, same as
QUINN Cberlln gave three bases on
balls and Quinn four washington made
one error. which was rather excusabie,
and New York made four. nearly al
foolish All OF OberIin's bases on balls
grew into runs, and MiIau's mishand-
ling OF Chase's single that sent Hemp
hilI home from second IN the first inning
gave Chase an extra base, from wafch
ne scored on Cree's infieid out and la
porte 5 SCratChy hit TO ObeTiiu- Hemp
hll. by the way, had started his travels
on a pass Thus two runs for New
. York right of the bat With Oebrlin not
vastly 10 blame because ne gave q base
I ou balls 20 the first man up How
often does Milan make erroTs2 Very
seldom, but because Oberlin was pitcn-
. ing well Il was fated that he should
turn loose misc1le-
Another OF those bases On halls
started W-olter on his Journey IN the
third inning. a sacrifice by E-hase- out
[ by Cree and smash by IsapOrte through
ConrOy completing the jauut for nim-
It's like telling a nightmare, but IN
! the eighth inning New York got another
I base on balls and made another run.
| The recipient CT the pass was Chase
who stole second and went from sec
ond TO the plate on Cree infield demise
via Schaefer 10 Crooks That wild dash
for Two bags on small out was De
cause the out was the result OF the nit
and run going slightly aWTy. but We are
here 70 remark II at Chase deserves a
7 world Of credit Oh the race OF the re-
turns for his running He stole second
and got from there 70 the plate on an
( iufield death. Think OF that and weep.
/ How did Washington get any runs
I In the same old way-by manfuIiy ci0ut-
| ing the ball when the opposing pitcher
| weakened for a moment Two runs IN
I the sixth inning resulted from hits BY
+ CourOy, Gessler, and Crooks. and the
( only aid they received in this laudable
/ enterprise was wild pitch b. Quinn
I that advanced two men base piece.
I but probably did not affect the final re-
suit.
/ Think for a little moment that IN the
/ ether eight innings Washington got four
( men 70 first on passes, four on errors.
I and three others on hits. yet none Of
I them crossed the plate, while that poor
! DberIfl party gave three bases on balls,
I and New York with a total OF as many
I hits as WashiI gt0n batted them around
