lowed the Nationals to tie the score
against Jack O'Connor's bunch from St
Louis in the final game of the. series
here yesterday afternoon. silk dehber-
ately called Bob Unglaub safe at third
bas4. when Sir Robert was out mile.
Then followed a boot" on the part Of
Wallace. and Unglaub crossed the plate
ip the eighth inning, placing the figures.
Nationals. I: Browns. 1.
OLoughlin finally called the game after
two Browns had died In the ninth. Storm
clouds began TO gather during the sixth
inning. and when the seventh opened II
was pouring down cats and dogs. Play
ers on the St. Louis bench yelped long
and loud for a cessation Of hostilities,
but O'Loughlin couldn't see IT, When
washingtons eighth opened. with Bob
Unglaub up. the imp waved everybody
of the field. but recalled them after a
ten-minute respite.
In the visitors ninth when Truesdale
had singled. and was thrown out at sec
ond, another terrific shower broke, and
the imp again called Time" A longer
wait ensued. during which the diamond
was beautifully soused and the base
/ paths were ankle deep in mud.
Game Proceeds Again.
The aggravatlng arbiter insisted or
further play. and the game proceeded
| for a second time. Allen was at bat FOR
the Browns, but Walter Johnson's speed
was too much for him. He famed &c
/ the accompaniment of another wicked
down pour. O'LoughHn this time called
/ the game on account OF darkness.
/ Now. for few words about the battle
itself. Walter Johnson was in the box
and famed fourteen OF the visiting swat
tiers. He also inserted a couple of wild
pitches into the fray, and came aeros:
with a CHASTITY heave on a ground ball
and these errors put the Browns in tbs
running.
Manager Jacks O'Connor introduced a
his slab artist a big husky flat-footet
lyoungster. who rejoices in the name o
Crouch, recently obtained from the vii
mington, Del, club. Crouch got hi
first taste of big league baseball yester
day, and although he gave six bases OF
balls and made three large juicy errors
he seemed TO have something tucked u
/ his sleeve which the Nationals could no
damage to any great extent. The scor
shows only four scattered hits, and tw,
OF these were inheld hunts. Pretty nift,
work for a young fellow from the coun
try trying TO make good with the cit
folks.
Two Runs for Browns.
