it is as hard for the Washingtons 10
beat as IL is for them 10 pass through
the eye of a needle. had one bad inning
against Jimmy McAleer's myrmidons on
the polar heights Of American League
Park to-day. He had eight good innings,
however, and the Highlanders won. That
is. he had good innings so Ear as his
pitching was concerned. Poor support
had him in tight corners several times
but the support braced in time 10 undo
the danger created by misplays The
New Yorks uncovered a cluster OF err
rOrs in the middle part OF the game, but
none Of the fielding errors left regret
in its train because none did any harm.
The offenders redeemed them by stand
ing UP sturdily in moments Of greatest
stress and putting up a barricade against
unearned runs. Five New York errors
did not affect the scoring as much as
one Washington error and an eXCusable
error in the bargain.
Oberlin pitched as well as Quinn. the
game taken in its entirety, but his bases
on balls were nOurished into runs. Two
Of them were. at any rate. The bunch
ing of hits of each was about the same
and also the way the hits were scattered.
Quinn showed strong comeback ability
after an inning which threatened 10 be
his last, so theoretically did the Wash
ingtons lam him in that one There
were changes in the Washington line

third Both did very well. Elberfeid
