rANnING "a THE cIrRs - II ~

Mr. Bob Spade. who formerly wore
Cincinnati uniform and who has vic
tory to his credit against the Nationals
in ST Louis was sent in to twirI by
Manager O'Connor yesterday in hopes
that he would repeat. What happened to
Mr.. Spade in the brief space of five
minutes was crime. Milan. Lelivelt,
and Schaefer all got on the bases in the
first inning. and Doc Gessler banged one
up against the center field fence for
three-bagger Mcbride came along with
another nifty little hit and 1t was al
over. No more spades for O'Connor-
He shuffled the deck and pulled cut
diamond in the shape OF Ray. Incident
ally. the Nationals won, to ?. and Bob
Groom only allowed the crowd from Mis-
souri, three hits
From the fans viewpoint, this game
was crack-a-jack. It seemed refresh
ing for a home twirler TO NOV down the
opposition almost in order during the
nine rounds, and stin more refreshing to
ste the locals sting the ball when hits
were needed.
Errors Prove Costly.
Errors by both teams figured in the
hunt for runs. Grooms careless toss 10
the plate in the first chapter let in
nun for the visitors. Wabbles by Wal
lace and Newman helped the home folks
faffen up their score in the fourth and
eighth innings
There were several pretty running
catches by Milan and Hoffman, also a
quick-thinking play executed by Red
Knnfer. all of which added TO the enjoy
ment of the occasion.
Yesterdays victory makes the series
stand three TO one in favor of the Ma
tionals. The final contest will be pulled
of this afternoon. and as Walter john
son is slated TO twirl. another home VIC
tory may be expected.
Kid Elberfeld is suffering from a pair
of bunged-up mitts and Wild Conroy

ness Of his young son, so tt IS up 70
Dutch Schaefer 10 cover third. Gabby
Street viii catch Walter Johnson to-
day, and in consequence Beckendorf sup
ported Groom yesterday. Schaefer looked
mighty good on the far corner, while
Beckendorf put lot of ginger into the
game behind the bat.

do was to toss the bail 10 Beckendorf
Instead. he tried to bounce 1t to him,
with the result that Wallace was safe.
The final half of this round was q cake
walk for the Nationals. Milan opened
up on Spade for clean single. Lelivelt
cut one through Wallace and Sehaefer
drew a base on balls. Gessler put the
business end OF the bludgeon up against
the sphere and everybody scored as the
ball shot past Hoffman like mauser
bullet. GessleT pulled up at third and
came home a minute later on Mcbride S
safe clout to left This nit shower put
Spade out of business. and Ray took up
the burden. stopping further slaughter
with little trouble.
