New York. May THE Highlanders did
not seem TO have more than the ghost of
a chance after the sixth inning Of their
game with the Washingtons to-day. but
by pressing home inside play 70 the ut
most Of their ability. and with the valua-
BILE assistance Of errors by Mcbride and
Unslaub. they won a ten-inning game
from the visiting team. The two runs the
Washingtons made in the sixth inning
loomed up gigantically, considering that
the New Yorks had been able TO do next
to nothing with Johnson. Jim Vaughan.
while he was in. pitched a shade more eff
fectively than Johnson. but the strong
pitching on each side made II look as n
the side that scored the first run would
have enough 10 win. Two runs. there
fore. were all the bigger lead to over
come.
Johnson. however. did not go through
the game as invincibly as he conducted
the first six innings Of it. The New Yorks
made five Of their six hits in the last four
innings and scored one run in each OF the
last three. The three home tallies were
due in equal proportion 20 errors and base
hits OF the three circuit hikes, two
would not have materialized but for the
errors. and none would have been made
but for the base hits. Vaughan was partly
10 blame for the two Washington grand
tours. Two hostile athletes whom he IA
vored with passes scored, but neither
would have scored il Sweeney had not
made a bad throw trying TO FOIL a steal
The game bristled with ifs"
WARRIOR TNIrIs Good Ball.
Jack Warhop was right up in the class
with the other two pitchers in aversion
20 allowing base hits. Scientists and bugs
tell US that there IS no such thing as a
raise ball II that Is SO. Warhop didut
have one. but he had something that was
so much Ike a raise that Il was just as
good. both in doing business and as an
optical illusion. Five of the six batters
who faced Warhop went out on gentle
flies Roach. a new man. was at short
for the Highlander. and from first 20
last the rooters chanted welcome Lit
tie Stranger" Here IS Roach's inventory:
Two hits, one walk, one sacrifice one
put-out. and three fast and fancy as
sists Mr.. Roach entered the game un-
heralded and left IL a hero. a round Of
applause greeted the late distinguished
Gothamite, Kid EIberfeld. Mr.. Kid play
ed a good fielding game, but was a frost
with the bat.
Nip WoIter at Home.
In the first, third. fourth, and fifth IN
nings the New Yorks got the first man
up on base. but could not get him around.
Wolter was nipped between home and
third IN the fourth. On Austins sacri-
fee IN the fifth. Roach overran second
and was cut down by a double play.
Schaefer led of with a Highlander. took
second on a sacrifice. and located per-
manently at thu halfway house, the next
two batters hitting flies. Roach
threw the side out in the NTH. His third
assist was from remote short The ball
ran M his arm but he grabbed Il by
some deXtrous jugglery. and whipped IL
over TO first like a streak.
After Johnson had struck out in the
'aNAAir bflsI' VIZ hAilS were AlltQ OUT 10
Milan and Schaefer. This nimbIe pair
made a double steal Sweeney threw
high to third 10 stop Milan. and Milan
scored on the overthrow. Schaefer took
third putting the New York infield in.
and a tap toward first by Lellvelt. which
would have been eaten and digested by
Chase had he been playing back, eluded
Capt. Hal, and Schaefer scored on the
hit With two on bases in New York
half OF the seventh and two out. Engle
went In TO achieve pinch hit renown. and
achieved II, with reverse English. He
struck out
Gardner Singles to Left.
The next pinch hitter did better.
Gardner was the man. and he led OF
with a safe fly to left in the eighth.
Hemphilrs out at first advanced him, and
he took third on Unglaub's tumble OF

nun Of Laporte's fly started things in
the ninth. Laporte reached second on
the muF Roach sacrificed and Austin
bounced a hit along the third base line.
The only chance Elberfeld had for an out
was to throw home. He did that but
Laporte Slid over safely and thunder
ously-
Hemphill and Chase between them won
the game in the tenth with a squeeze
play. Hemphill hit to left center for
three bases. Wolter struck out. Then
the squeeze. Johnson, instead Of feeling
the other fellows out, put the first ball
over the heart of the plate. Chase slap
ped a grounder at Mcbride. and when
that player booted the ball he lost what
slim chance he had to throw home and
