Nationals Badly Beaten by
New York Yankees.
WALKER KNOCKED OUT OF BOX
McAIeer'S Men Put Up Poorest EXhi-
bitiOn Seen Here I'm Some Time.
RalstOn Gets in the Game and
Makes n Good Impre~siOR-Chase
Makes Four Clean Hits.

York Yankees are up In the first division,
for yesterday they looked stronger than
any club which has been hero this sea-
son, and outolassed MeAleer's h0pefuls
IN every department. knocking Dixie
Walker out of the box in the second
inning and hitting Doc Reisling hard IN
the eighth. The score. S 10 2. shows Just
the difference between the teams on yes
terday's playing form.
Little Jack WARRIOR simply toyed with
the Nationals. Up to the ninth inning he
allowed but two scratch hits. and was
only once in danger. The Nationals got
TO him in the final inning for three hits
in a row and averted a shut-Out.
II was rather a singular coincidence
that Hal Chase. the great first baseman,
had only three put-outs. This was caused
by Warhop's subway ball, which puzzled
the home batters. most of the hits going
into the air.
Chase and Austin were the demon slug
gers. Capt Hal pulled down four out of
five times up. and Austin raped out
three, including a double and triple.
Poor Exhibition.
The home folks put up a poor exhibit
rors OF judgment advanced Yankee run
ners many an extra base. McAleer made
hit with the crowd by giving Ralston,
the Nationals new recruit from Akron,
a chance. Ralston relieved COnroy in
left field when the fourth opened. and
while he failed 70 hit safely, made a
good impression with the fans.
After Walker had disposed Of Daniels
Wolter drew a base on balls. Chase
whistled one 10 short right Gessler's
great throw got Wolter at third. Capt.
Hal pulling up at second. Knight singled
10 left. scoring Chase. Gardner was nit
IN the back. A single 10 center by Cree
scored knight. and Austin's slam TO right
sent Gardner home
Instead Of tightening up, Walker proved
less effective when the second opened.
Little Jack WARRIOR ripped a single
through Unglaub. Bert Daniels went out
-Elberfeld TO Unglaub-but Wolter drove
10 left for a two-bagger and Warhop
scored. Chase singled over second, send
ing home Wolter. and incidentally driv-
FMS Mr. Walker 10 the tall tirnbers. Doc
Reisling then took up the flinging bur
den and stopped the slaughter.
During the next FIVE innings Relsllng
held his own and was running neck and
neck with WARRIOR for twirling honors.
but in the visitors eighth somebody cut
the strings, and up went the balloon.
The Yankees grabbed three runs they did
not need.
Knight gave Milan an easy fly. which
the latter dropped Gardner singled to
right on the hit-and-run play. and
Knight did not stop until he crossed the
plate. Gessler's throw to Beckendorf was
a beauty, but the big catcher dropped
the ball Cree hit to Mcbride, who forced
Gardner at second. Austin cracked the
ball to deep left for a double. sending
Cree TO third On Sweeney's grounder to
KilHfer. Cree was caught at the plate.
but pulled off a nifty trick when he
stopped short of the pan and allowed
Beckendorf to run him back half dozen
feet into the diamond. Austin had turn
ed the corner at third and saw his way
clear 20 dash home. He shot by Becken-
dorf like a flash. The latter made a
desperate attempt 20 touch him with the
hall. ending up with a short throw TO
Reisling who was covering the plate
Resling dropped the ball and Austin
was safe. Warhop laid down a bunt.
and the Nationals pitcher slammed the
bail into the crowd, Sweeney coming in
from second with the Yankees eighth
run.
Nationals Finally score.
Gessler. Mcbride and Elberfeld all
singled in a row in Washington's ninth.
Unglaubs roller forced Elberfeld at Sec
Ond. but Gessler came home and Nc
Bride followed suit minute later when
Lelivelt, batting for Beckendorf, went
OLt-Austin 10 Chase.
Manager Stallings is greatly worried
over Jim Vaughn. the Yankees big Twill
er. Vaughn spent yesterday in bed. with
a high fever. and may not be able to
leave with the club tonight The at
tending physician fears that the player
has an attack of malaria or a mild case
of typhoid.
The Score.
