Oh, my! Two in a row.

Oh, my! Two in a row!
Who said our heroes couldn't swat the
pill? Two homers in one afternoon.
Back up, you knockers!
And maybe that hit of Gessler's didn't
travel some. Ask Mr.. Butcher, of the
Maps.
The pill went so far it took Mr..
Butcher out of the game.
And, not speaking too strong. Bob
Groom just about twirlet- as good a
game as a slab artist is capable of.
Bob had control. speed. and good bend
ers. That's all.
No use talking, our athletes are go
ing some at the present time. To-mor-
row Becker or Johnson will be on the
mound.
And Walter Johnson or Buck" Beck
er (most likely Walter) Tomorrow.
Then back with long Tom, and the
series ours.
The mighty Larry started the first
game since his illness. During practice
Latoie put up great game and looked
to be as good as ever.
When Larry stepped to the plate in
the first. quite a little applause greeted
the king Of swatters.
Neal Ball, Who was shifted TO third
when Larry went to second, pulled of a
IN he
grounder. The pill crashed over the bag
but Neal grabbed and threw the Reach
with the same motion.
Umpire Parker was again on the sick
list That bad ankle is too much for the
plucky arbitrator.
Sid Smith Shad passed ball in the
third that resulted fatally for the Maps,
ed the pan when Elberfeld singled
There are few first basemen who are
hurt as much as George Stovall In yes
terday's game he was hit by the pitcher,
spiked by runner, and was hit twice
in the chin by thrown balls that took
peculiar bounces. The condition of the
new infield makes the judging of ground
balls almost an impossibility.
Old "Cy' Young only lasted three in
nings. but in that short stay on the rub
Der the Nationals gathered five hits,
which, with a pass and a passed ball,
put 'Cy" out of commission. Blanding
went into the box and twirled fair ball,
allowing the Nationals only six hits the
remainder of the game.
"Gabby's" arm was sure in working
order. In the first he had jackson stand
ing. but Elberfeld dropped the perfect
throw.
In the second "Gabby" caught Ball
with room to spare. Some arm, believe
me.
1t was the first game that Larry started
since May %, when he was hurt.
Billy Evans limped around and had a
great deal of difficulty getting the plays.
But this young Indicator handler Is one
of the best in the country. and his work
this series has been of the highest Or.
der.
And "Gabby'' came across with that
timely single in the SECOND, scoring Nc
Bride with the first run Of the game
Well, We can hit at that
But Bob Groom famed as usual and
that lonely run was all we could coax
in the second round. But, on the level,
that helped some.
CS Young gave a good exhibition of
a steam roller in the third, and only a
close decision saved him from being
doubled at first.
Mcbride lost a great chance for a dou-
bic in the third. when he fumbled Gra-
ney's grounder. but he caught Cy at
second. -.'
Graney tried to hide Olsons bounder
from Mcbride In the third. but our CAP
tain was-on The job and nailed Ollie at
first.
"Dorf'' Ainsmith put lot of pep into
the game from the coaching lines. Eddie
and John Henry are always in the game
Kid Elberfeld was the sweet boy in the
third. AS Milan started for third, the

Then our noble Doc Gesser, the swat |
