Philadelphia. Sept 13-Jlmmy Dygert
demonstrated conclusively to-day that he
IS more than n ''warm-up" pitcher by
holding the Washington team to four
singles and shutting out the Nationals.
70 0. in the last game they viii play at
shibe Park this year.
Dygert.s twirling'was the distinct fea-
ture Of the contest. The reserve finger
was cheered repeatedly at the close OF
most every inning for his clever work
For six innings Washington did not
make the scintilla OF hit. As a matter
OF fact. in the first five rounds the Ma
tionals only sent three men to bat per
inning. while only one more than the
legal number appeared at the plate IN
the sixth
The seventh round looked Ominous
e. Cunningham and Ralston, the first bat
ters up, singled Livingston made an al
most impossible catch OF Gessler's foul
right against the grand stand Then Nc
Bride raped another single TO center,
hut Cunningham was loath to take llber-
ties with Lords arm and did not go
much beyond third base. At this juno
ture a brilliant double play, in which
Collins handled the business end. pre-
vented the Nationals from scoring.
Pass Up Chance to Score.
Washington had a chance TO score in
the final inning. Milan. the first man up.
was passed. the second frank that Dygert
issued Cunningham made his second sin
gle to center. Ralston famed for the sec
ond time. and 1essler lifted fly TO Muir
ply, Milan advancing to third after the
catch Mcbride then hit an ugly groundcr
to Baker. but the latter handled 1t
cleanly, and by a perfect throw retired
the batter at FIRST anC ended the game
Dolly Gray was on the mound for the
Nationals for six innings While the left
handlers delivery was hit hard enough 20
yield victory. his support was far from
perfect. and the Macktes took every ad-
vantage offered by the Nationals indiffer-
ent defense. Seven hits were made of
Gray. three coming in the sixth. when
two runs came GtIoss that were pure
gifts. Gray retired after the sixth, and
was succeeded by Meyer. a youth to dia-
mOnd fame unknown. The youngster did
not do so badly. despite the fact that two
runs were scored on his delivery in the
seventh. 0ne being due to q wild throw by
Elberfeld
The game was far more interesting than
the one OF the day previous, many bright
fielding plays relieving it Of monotony.
Three fast double plays furnished fea-
lures. In the second Gessler led off with
a pass. and was sacrificed to second BY
Mcbride Elberfeld hit sharply 10 Baker,
who forced Gessler to turn back to Sec
Ond. and then Baker retired the batter
at first. Gessler made a dash for third,
when Baker threw 20 Davis, but the lat
ter got the bail back to third true and
fast. and Gessler was out by q yard.
Double Play Hurts Nationals.
A double play killed Washington's
chances TO score IN the seventh. With
the bases filled and one out EIberfeId hit
to Baker who threw wide to Collins,
but the latter made the out on Mcbride.
and then by a wonderfully quick throw
TO Davis retired Elberfeld.
Cunningham played a star game at sec
ond, two of his stops and throws being
OF the spectacular order Livngstone's
catch of Gessler's foul IN the seventh
was brilliant effort. Collins also played
splendldly.
Hartsel was franked in the first and
raced to third on Lords single 10 right.
On Collins sacrifice fly TO Ralston Hart
sci scored. Ralston threw home and
Henry relayed the ball TO Cunningham in
time 10 catch Lord trying to take second.
In the second. with Davis gone. Murphy
hit too hard for Elberfeld to handle Muir
ply stole second and came home on Bar
rvs double 20 right.
Collins started the sixth with a single
and stole second. Henry collided with
Gray and dropped Bakers pop. Davis
sacrifice advanced both men. Murphy
was out on an infeld play, but Barry's
single 20 left scored Collins and Baker.
In the seventh Elberfeid's wild throw
