New York, May Sl.-Among the rooters
there was some fear and trembling when
Walter Johnson went into the box for
the Washingtons to-day The fear and
trembling was more pronounced at the
end of the first inning, for the Washing
tons made a run in theh first. and the
word was passed along that one run look
ed abnormally big with Johnson pitching
The Highlanders themselves did not re-
gard the presence Of Johnson as a
blockade that could not be run. and be-
fore the game was over they had polish
ed off that puissant boxman. IN fact.
to-day's victory was the easiest of the
three they took from the Nationals. They
made more hits than they did off Ober-
In and Groom, yesterday pitchers OF
less renown than Johnson.
The errors Of Red Killifer hampered
Johnson, however, and the New Yorks
would have been harder put 10 it If KILL
fer had not made a costly mun. sun
they would have won, for Jack Quinn
pitched a superb game, surprising John
son in effectiveness. and the Washing
tons never being anywhere near the
plate. save in the first inning. when
they made run in an unusual way.

spectators shivered through a cloudy,
chilly, cherries afternoon.
Quinn Handy with stick.
It was not altogether cherries. Quinn

eIinehed his own game with a plunging
three-bagger, which found two men on
the bases and effected a timely cleanup.
Birdy Cree was pummelling The ball with
vigor, too. Early in the season one OF
Johnson's fast ones hit Cree in the head
and laid him low. but the remembrance
Of that coup de grace did not make Cree
bit shy to-day. for he enjoyed an att
ernoon OF castigation. He made triple,
a single, and a sacrifice fly. The New
Yorks gave Quinn timely support, partic-
ularly Laporte and Roach.
Having sent the first two men to the
bench in the first inning, Quinn issued s
pass TO KiIIifer. Gessler singled clearly to
left and put KiHifer on second. McBride
