The Washington herald., 1911-06-28


how the other fellow feels when he gets
kicked twice in succession in the same
spot.
It's about as funny as an autopsy.
First. J. McAleer's somnolent Nation
ais. who were supposed to be as harm
less as a bag o snakes to the Yanks. hit
us 5-to-2 crack Ouch!
. Then they gave US 6-to-s punch.
Ouch! Ouch! In fact, ow'witch!
How? Why in the most fubduberous
manner you ever saw. They just nat
urally came to life on a soggy day and
welted out funny little tunes on the
fenceboard with the baseball
It got TO be a scandal in the neighbor-
hood the way they picked on singles,
doubles, triples, &C. 1t was too hot for
much exercise, but the McAleer band
'reveled in the muggy going. Another
washington catcher was injured to-day,
this time the good. game ''Gabby'' Street,
who had to leave the first game because
Of broken finger, while taking of foul
tip. John Henry succeeded him, and
Johns work the balance of the after
noon was worth consideration. Ain
smith, another National receiver, was
badly hurt during this series!
Some may be inclined to suspect that
the twenty-five hits that the Statesmen
melted of Quinn, Caldwell, and Coakley,
against the ten acquired by the Yam
KEGS from Walter Johnson, the Kansas
express and Dixie Walker, had some
thing to do with the result to-day. The
visitors ran Quinn of the premises in
the fifth inning of the first game, after
they had batted him with amazing safety
seven times, and after Jack had swatted
the Unoffending DOC" Gessler twice
with the ball. Also Jack issued two
passes, and then String Caldwell oozed
thinIy into the scene, and held the Ma
tionals fairly well.
While all this was going on. Big Pay
Envelope Waldo was working himself
into a heavy perspiration turning the
Rock Riders away from the pan. They
collected eight hits, after much sincere
labor, of the Kansan, and builded them
into two runs, but two was several from
enough.
In the second game, the somber Dixie"
held the Hill. boys TO four sparsely scat
tered hits and was what you might call
master of the situation at all stages.
CoakIey, on his second comeback visit,
little break went against him from start
to finish, whenever there were any
breaks. sdu, a good many of the hits
which enter into the Washington total
were as clean as the proYerbiaI bugIe. |
and it SIS doubtful II the Yanlzs could |
have defeated the morose Walker even
IL they had been more favored of for |
tune
EIberfeId Delivers the Goods.
Old man Norman EIberfeld doddered
pitifully to the plate from time to time
throughout the afternoon. and all he did
was to get seven hits and a walk, to say
nothing-nothing at alE-of his theft of
home in the second game. He also had
four busy hours down around third base.
Doc" Gessler made glittering catch in
the second game out in right field, and,
all in all, those Washingtonians disported
themselves after the manner of men who
might have been chided over their pre-
vious showings in these parts.
In the first game Quinn getaway to a
shaky start, and.a double play saved him
in the FIRST inning. Three hits and bob
ir the third inning failed to net single
run for the visitors, a double play in that
session also helped Jack out of a hole,
although he figured in it himself.
Clarence ', allzer led of with single
in. the fourth inning and Mcbride sac
rificed him along Cunningham drew a
walk. knight got Streets bounder and
then tossed the BAN over Gardners head
on the play at second, Walker scoring
and Cunningham moving to third. Wal
ter johnson reached far out and clipped |
a wild pitched ball into right field for !
three bases, scoring Cunningham and
Street. He came home himself when
Milan hit through Chase's territory for
two bases
The other Washington run came In
the seventh, after much toll and turmoil
Priest could not reach EIberfeld's slam
down third base and Gessler smashed
puzzling roller to Chase, Elberfeld taking
third. Clarence Walker popped to Priest.
Gessler pulled a delayed steal, and
Sweeney threw a trife low to second,
enabling Elberfeld to score.
In the Yanks' end of the fourth Daniels
got the first hit OF Johnson, single.
woIter drove a hot one through EIber-
field and Daniels took third. Priest
bounced the ball OF Johnson's glove and
Daniels scored wolter took second and
went 10 InlEQ On EAl1BnI long ny, cree
also dying via the. aerial route in the
meantime. Priest stole second and
Chase walked but Gardner was unable
TO do anything more than foul to
Schaefer.
The run in the, sixth was due to VOL
ter's triple to the score board and Cree's
infleld out.
"Fitzr Nailed at Home.
Fitzgerald batted for Priest in the ninth
inning of the second game and led on
with a single. but was nailed at the
plate when Chase doubled to right field,
Gessle- to schaefer to Henry. Score:
