legs and bounded into right field. Gun
i ningham ran several feet behind Schaefer

/ feet.
There was every sort of a battery error
| In that double-header. but John Henry
carried off the real prize. John establish
ed what is probably base ball record.
He had four passed balls in eight in
nings. If John Henry catches a few
more games he'll give Washington first
place in the league for the total number
OF passed balls. To date Cleveland catch
ers have thirty-three. and Washingtons 8
backstops rank second with a total of
twenty-seven.
Cashion is a conner. Had Cashion been
able to get control yesterday he would
have shown some real box work. But
Cashion was wild as jimmy McAleer
said it was possible for him to be. He
had toNslow down when he wanted to put
| them over. and he couldn't get them
over for five men in five and one-third in
nings. He struck out three and Detroit

the afternoons entertainment would
also have been incomplete without a
demonstration by Clyde Milan. He did
nothing remarkable in the opening COM
bat: but in the fourth inning of the Sec
ond game he was playing deep, when
Schmidt hit a dinky fly that had all the
appearance of dropping safe behind sec

on the grass while going at high speed.
1t was tiresome job marking up the
errors in the first game. 1t was some
wnat or a recompense to see Walter
johnson give an exhibition of real pitch
ing. Walter gave the Washington club
part of that 5000 worth. Walter was
right.
Detroit did not have a scoring chance
against him until Washington had
