says he heard. Larry Gardners solid
safety to right put over Madden and
Collins. Yes, 1t was painful
Two were down in the seventh when
Engle ambled, stole second, and scored
! on Williams hard drive 10 center. In
the final mix-up the Red Sox got an
other just for luck on Engle's single to
| right, a wild heave putting him on
second and Williams hard double to
right sending him over. No, the Red
Sox didn't make any more runs.
End of the Trouble.
The Nationals looked like busy busi-
ness in the second and might have got
away with it but for Williams, whose
wonderful one-hand stop of Johnson's
tiendish drive and consequent doubling
Mcbride put an end to all signs OF
trouble. Henry had led off with a pretty
single to left and Yerkes' bungle gave
Mcbride life. Ainsmith laid down a
beautiful sacrifice to Madden and they
both went up one. When johnson
showed up at the pan applause was
ooZing from all sections Of the stands
Walter caught one on the handle and
shot It straight for Williams brain
works, but elevated about four feet
above it. That pill was breaking all
speed records, too, when the big first
baseman loosened his springs, went up
into the air and stopped the ball with
his gloved hand. Then recovering him
self he shot Ii to second, where George
Mcbride was murdered in his tracks
trying to get back to the hassock. It
was star stop for friend Williams.
There wasn't a thing doing for the
Nationals after thar until tho Sauanth
when they coaxed a run out of Collins
Bill Cunningham waited for four, ad-
vanced on Miller's out and Tailed on
McBrtde's double. There was something
almost heroic in that double of Macs.
The big crowd was pulling for the dandy
captain of the Nationals, and he re-
sponded by driving hard one right
down to that left field corner Of the
fence. With any other outfield he would
have reached third, but he did not dare
take a chance against the wonderful
throwing of those Red Sox gardeners.
Busy In the Eighth.
In the eighth. with the big crowd
roofing hard for action. the Nationals
got busy once more and counted-just
one. kind friends, and even that came
hard. Engle's poor throw gave John
son a chance to hang around that first
corner. Gardner made easy work of
Milan's pop, but Germany Schaefer,
with memories Of those olden, golden
days in the jungle, measured a fioater
as 1t fioated in his direction and sent II
careering on its way to the extreme
border Of the mere in left field. Twas a
most heroic wallop and the Hessian gall
loped all the way around to third, land
ing there with one of those Kelierman
dives that would earn him money on
the stage. But there wasn't anything
more coming in the line of runs
Ray Collins pitched heady ball. but
was aided much by the swell fielding of
Clyde Engle, Williams, and the out
fielders and by the lack of polish dis
played by the Nationals. johnson
started well, but seemed to let down
toward the end. Engle's general all
around fielding was excellent and Will
liams' clouting was most impressive
Warren Miller tore of pretty catch
in the second Off Tommy Madden, nail
ing the drive over his shoulder, while
streaking it for the corner of his gar
den.
Charlie Conway played right in the
last half of the final session, Gabby
Street having hit for Miller, but the
big fellow had nothing to do.
There was good crowd out to see
the fun and the Nationals should have
won. IL only to please those fans who
rooted all the way to the very end.
But they didn't, did they? No, they
sure didn't They appeared afflicted
