the Nationals battery, Groom and Street,
did most of the labor for the winners.
They kept outguessing the Yank bats
men. Groom famed eight men and al
lowed only six hits. On the other hand.
Ford pitched we'll after the first session
and let the Nationals down with only
four hits. 1t was a good pitching battle
Gabby Street was a whole host in him
self back of that plate. He had the
Yanks helpless on the bases. Gripping
no less than five attempts at theft.
Ford's bad peg in the first inning cost
the run that tided the Nationals over to
the finish. Milan, first up, slashed a
single to center on the second ball pitch
ed. With two strikes on him. Schaefe-
put one in the same place, sending Milan
to the midway. Ford chucked Elberfeld's
bunt to the right field bleachers and
Milan scored, Schaefer sprinting to third.
Cunningham was thrown out ~ Ford on
an easy roller. and the remaining two
died when Schaefer was nipped at the
plate on Millers roller to Knight Nc
Bride popped to knight.
With two gone, in the Yankees half
Hal Chase bumped a single to left field
and moved to second when Hartzell s
drive caromed off Elberfeld's toes. Chase
took third on a wild pitch and died there
when Knight popped a fly to Mcbride
There was no sign of a score in the sec
ond, but in the third, with one out VOL
ter doubled to left only to be cut down
by Street stealing third.
Nationals Threaten in Fourth.
Cunningham drew a pass to start
Washington's fourth and was sacrificed
to second by Miller. He reached third
on McBrides fly TO Hemphill, but John
Henry was an easy out, Knight to Chase
Washington again threatened in the
fifth. Street stroliing and going to second
on Henrys bunt. Milan died at the hands
of Knight and Chase, then Schaefer
crashed one down to Hartell Chase
grabbed the throw with one hand after
long leap just as Street tore across
the plate.
Another lull in the sixth inning. the
only bright spot of which was Mulan's
great runpins catch of long fly from
Chase's bat. Bailey was sent in to bat
for Ford in the eighth, after Sweeney had
famed. Groom famed Bailey. Warhop
opened the ninth in place of Ford and
famed Cunningham and Miller. Mcbride
popped an easy one to Knight
The Yanks' last call availed them moth

Elberfeld's foozle. Hartzell few out to
Milan. Chase stole second, but knight
failed again, his best effort being a soft
roller to Elberfeld.

GEORGETOWN TAKES
FIRST GAME FROM
PENNSYLVANIA, 20
Hilltoppers Outfield and Ont
hit Quakers.
o'CoNNoR TwIRLs GREAT GAME
Hold. Red and Blue Nine to Three
SafeffeS and Fans Eight-Fury
Again Stars Behind Bat for Blue
and Grny-A1so Cracks Out One
third of His Teams Hits.

With O'Connor in the box and twirling
great ball, Georgetown took the first
game from Pennsylvania yesterday on
the Hilltop diamond, to 0.
Up TO the seventh inning "Wabby"
O'Connor held the Blue and Gray nine
hitless, and then allowed only one bingle
in each of the remaining sessions. His
work was of the highest order. only
twenty men facing him in the first six
innings In the sixth, ''Wabby'' struck
out the entire side. His splitter was
working to perfection and he had speed
to burn. Taken all together, yesterdays
exhibition was the best that O'Connor has
shown this spring.
Fury, the crack receiver of the Hill
toppers, caught another excellent game.
He has been working in major league
style the past couple of weeks and has
been singing the ball hard. Fury ac-
copied eleven chances yesterday and had
an error charged against him that was
partially a wild pitch. Besides doing his
duty behind the bat. Tug" was there
with the willow. cracking out two safeties
out OF three trips to the plate. This was
one-third of the hits credited to the Hill
toppers.
Billy Cogan was the fair-haired lad
In the fielding line for the Georgetown
aggregation. Cogan handled his eight
chances without the faintest semblance
of an error and smacked out a long
single to right center.
One of the feats that brought the crowd
to its feet, was the spectacular catch of
Coryelrs long fly by Hunt. After getting
hold of the ball, Hunt could not keep his
foothold and crashed against the right
field stands. This was a pretty piece of
work at the hands Of the heavy hitting
gardner.
Errors Hurt Inlay.
Inlay was on the mound for the
Qrakers, and with better work behind
him would have made a much better
showing Errors by Donovan and Alden
differ together with singles by Murphy
and Fury, lost the game for the Phila-
6elphia box artist.
The playing of McNabb at the initial
station for the Quakers was the best
that has been seen on the Hilltop dia-
mond for many moons. McNabb plays
the bag with a natural grace that has
rarely been equaled on the Georgetown
Field.
Georgetown did not score until the
third. when two tallies crossed the pan.
Cogan, the first man up was safe on
Donovan's tumble of his grounder. and
OConnor sacrificed him &c second, from
where he counted when Murphy singled
to center. Sitterding grounded out. Inn

NOTES OF TIE GAME.

Hats off to Bob Groom.
Two shut-outs in a row is not so bad
Yesterdays victory ties US for second
place.
Should the rest Of the pitchers display
higher still will our hopefuls climb.
Groom struck out eight New Workers
and Issued three scattered passes.
Most of the safe swats gathered by
our ~oys came In the first inning. and
maybe they didn't help.
Russell Ford's wild throw to first was
the only error of the game.
The .,ationals played an errorless game
for the first time this season. Let US hope
they continue to fight shy of those harm
full things.
Capt. Mcbride had several difficult
chances and handled them all in his own
inimitable style
Manager Hal was the only man on
either team to land for more than one
hit. Chase succeeded in polling two bin
giles to unguarded territory.
Hits were scarce, the youngsters on the
Nationals team failing to connect with
Ford's delivery for any of the four made
by the team.
Gabby Street and his pegging whip
really defeated the Yankees. The crew
of Hal Chase do not believe in the hit
and run game from first base. but to-day
they didn't try to sacrifice the runner
along. Instead they thought they could
gain greater by pilferinS. They are
much wiser lot of young men tonight.
Five times were they killed off.
Milan, Eberfeld. Schaefer. and Street
were the only Washington men able to hit
safely. Streets was the only extra base
hit of the quartet.
Warren Miller covered right and didn't
have a chance in the field. At the bat
his best was a sacrifice.
Bob Groom had everything on the pei
let. His curve ball was breaking a foot
and had the Yankees swinging like a
crazy gate in a windstorm. The veteran
Hemphill, who is supposed to have an
excellent eye, famed the first two trips
to the plate. He didn't even foul the ball
on either occasion.
Kid Efberfeld displayed his gameness
in the ninth inning. Chase hit liner
down the third base line that was tagged
three bases The Kid realized he couldn't
field the clout, but fairly threw himself
into the ball. He knocked 1t down with
his shins and Chase could make but
o base as the result.
Henry made bowling hit with the
natives. He fielded his position in regu-
lar Chase fashion. The New York man
ager, by the way. said after the game
that he believed ]. Henry would develop
into wonderful guardian Of the opening
sack.
Street made the longest hit of the day.
It was a steaming two-bagger to the
score board in left field. 1t came in
the seventh inning after two were out.
It counted for naught. however, as Groom
left him stranded at the midway.
Street made wonderful peg to Nc
Bride IN the fourth when he caught
Hartzell on q pilfer trip. Groom had
heaved one very wide to knight and
Gabby made q dandy catch of what
looked like a sure wild pitch. Street
was forced down on one knee to spear
the ball and he didn't have time to get
to his pedals to make the throw. Int

lay to McNabb. Murphy crossed the
plate when Aldendifer made a mess of
Hunts slow roller. Fury followed with
q hit, but fast fielding held Hunt on
third. This ended the scoring Of George
town and of the game, as O'Connor held
the Quakers safe the remaining six in
nIngs.
To-day Pennsylvania win try to regain
its lost laurels, and will put forth every
effort to land an even break.

FORT PIERCE RALLY
DOING MUCH GOOD

The first definite result OF the o's
East Coast good roads rally at for'
Pierce December 6, called for the pur'
nose of settling upon the route OF 'ne
southern leg of the MontreaI-to' Mann
highway, are becoming apparent.
A letter from Stanley Ktching' a
morcbant at Stuart who has taken a
deem interest in the project, to Ilau1e
Nolan, of jacksonville, who was chalr'
man Of the subcommittee on the rahS
from the good roads committee OF Tue

final survey for the structure Wlthih d

The construction of a bridge at
| Stuart settles the controversy over 'oe
change of route so as to cross the river
at Sewalls Point. 1t will be recalled
that this point was warmly contested
| for some weeks before the rally ana De-
fore the subcommittee Of which Mr.
Nolan was chairman. This committee,
however. could do nothing more thah
collect information and lay 1T before
/ the meeting.
/ The big rally at Fort Pierce did much
to stimulate Interest in the proposed
highway, and the first move toward
the selection of the northern leg of the
highway, from New York to Montreal
is being awaited with much interest
President Douglas, of the Miami Auto
mobile Association, has been very busy
since the rally and will probably have
some definite announcement to make
within the next few days.
There has been much activity among
officials of counties through which the
highway is to pass, and information re-
ceived in Jacksonville is that the route
is in fine shape to travel. Machines
are leaving Jacksonville almost every
day for the trip to some point down
the East Coast. Not few of them
come down over the entire length OF
the national highway to Jacksonville
and from there continue down the East
Coast. On the day Mr.. Kitching's let
ter was written six machines had pas
sed down over the highway, and two
went over it the day previous.

those who have machines will in all
probability bring them for the winter.
1T is known" said Claude Nolan,
that Florida has some fine roads,
many that are safe and comfortable
and few that are altogether bad and
for automobiles. Wealthy
people in the North who have been &C.
customed to storing their machines
through the bad weather of the winter
months are bringing them to Florida to
use this season. The weather in this
State never gets so bad that it is i'm
possible to operate automobiles with
ease, and with the road improvements
that have been made in all sections of
the State during the past twelve months
there is no reason why Florida should
not become the winter paradise of the
