There is no getting away from it
things broke badly for Walter. Take the
fifth inning, for example, when after he
had struck out three men. Boston showed
a tally across the plate. Can you beat
that?
In the sixth. the Beaneaters collected
three runs A miserable error by Ain
smith stood in the pathway of three per-
fectly good outs, and in the seventh and
ninth. more ragged work helped the WISH
tors roll up the score.
Southpaw Collins had something up his
sleeve that did not aid Warren Miller,
Thursdays smuggling star. on his path to
a big league batting average. Miller
played right field in place of Gessler, and
hit for 600 out OF three times up.
Germany Schaefer and George Mcbride
We're the boys who made possible the
Washington runs. both coming to the
rescue with savage drives when men were
on the bases
The visitors played much better ball
than in the two preceding battles. EnSle
had a great day at third, while Will
liams and Speaker were the demon slug
gers. Duffy Lewis in left field pulled
uoNH d Couple VI lldlu mes right up
against the stands. while Clyde Milan, as
usual. gave the crowd a run for its
money.
Counting up the hits. Washington is
credited with six against Collins, while
Boston ruff1ed up johnson for eleven,
three of these being very much TO the
scratch.
Johnsons recent trouble with the ball
club did not hurt him a bit in the eyes
of the fans. according to yesterdays dem
Cnstration. 1t is estimated that 5000 per-
sons parted with their good coin to wit
ness the third battle. and Johnson was
continually cheered, as he pulled off bits
of fancy knitting. Walter made eight of
the Beaneaters take the shortest route to
the BENCH. Collins only struck out two.
Red Sox Score First.
Boston was held runless until the fifth.
In this chapter Collins. first up, famed.
Gardner also whitfield three times, the
third strike getting away from Ainsmith
and the ball rolling to the grand stand
Hooper struck out. but Gardner stole sec
ond. Cunningham muffing Ainsmith's per-
feet throw. Speaker trundled pretty
two-bagger into deep left and Gardner
chased home.
The Red Sox total was boosted to four
in the fifth. Engle opened by flying out
to Milan. Williams rolled a hunt in front
of the plate, which was fielded by Ain
smith, who threw up into the air instead
of straight at Henry's outstretched claws
Yerkes struck out. Williams stole sec
ond. and came home when Madden slash
ed one over second. Milan got the ball on
the bound. but could not choke off Will
Jams at the plate. Madden reached sec
ond the throw in and came home
when Collins dinky fly got away from
Germany Schaefer in short left. Collins
stretched the blow into a two-bagger and
dashed across the plate on Gardeners
singing single to deep right.
1t was not until the seventh that Wash
ington could push a runner over the
plate, although Williams alone stood in
the way in the second by his wonderful
stop of Johnson's liner.
Cunningham led off washington's
seventh by drawing a base-on balls.
Miller died. Engle to Williams. and
Henry flied out to Engle. Mcbride
cracked beauty over Duffy Lewis head
in deep left. Cunningham scoring.
Hits Are Lacking.
The Nationals gave the home fans a
chance to root in the eighth, and missed
an opportunity TO creep up on the fiery
hosed bunch because hits were not forth
coming
Walter johnson, first at the plate,
reached the initial sack when Engle
fumbled his hard-hit grounder. Milan
popped to Gardner. SchaeferN, made the
longest hit of the game, a triple to deep
left field. the ball rolling to the corner
of the fence. where the grand stand
abuts. johnson ambled home. Elber-
field drew a pass, but Cunningham struck
out, and Street, who was sent in to bat
for Miller, hoisted a little fly to Engle-I
and the crowd groaned.
Boston added mark in their seventh
after Speaker and Lewis had persisted
A base on balls was handed Engle. The
chunky one Immediately swiped second
and counted on Williams single to CEN
ter.
AS a parting shot the bean brigade
pulled down another tally in the ninth.
