two bases.
Milan got a nasty whack on the left
shoulder by pitched ball This did not,
however, prevent the speedy center gar
dener from swiftly purloining second
Herman Schaefer's short hit to right
not only brought in Cunningham and
Milan, but netted the comedian two
bases Germany scored a moment later
on hit that LeliveIt placed in the same
spot.
Ball made a pretty stop of Lelivelt's
hard smash in the fifth that looked good
for a hit.
Doc Gessler's two-bagger struck the
cement wall in left field and rebound
ed fully fifty feet.
Mcbride batted one down to Turner In
the sixth that nearly took the little third
baseman of his feet. He quickly re-
covered and got Mac at first, Gessler in
the meantime taking third.
Street placed a beaut hit down the left
field foul line in the seventh. and while
Graney was endeavoring to pick up the
ball Gabby took second.
Graney placed one down to Schaefer
that enabled the Teuton TO make a quick
double play, getting Easterly at second.
Krapp's shoots were somewhat wild
at first.
Cy Young was on the coaching line and
kept considerable sun OF the field.
Cunningham went to short center field
to gather StovaIrs high fly in the ninth.
He eats 'em alive! Only pitcher who
can swallow the ballw This from an
ardent fan, as Knapp held the ball close
to his face preparatory to delivering a
splitter.
The game opened fast, with snappy
double play by EIberfeId. Mcbride, and
schaefer. Graney, and Olson losing on
the play.
Jack Graney received a purple shirt
when he went to the bat in the first for
his homer OF Tuesday. He Immediately
singled to center.
''Elberfeld, not Elberfeld." said a fan
to the announcer: and quickly came the
retort: IT can't say field
Dutch" Schaefer set a good example
to his mates in the first. when he beat
out a slow grounder. Had he Jagged
he would have been out.

first six chances, Mcbride, EIberfeld,

ers to first for outs
No need to worry about first base as
long as Schaefer holds out. At the bat
he's there, sending in the first two runs
yesterday with single to right.
Jackson showed he has some arm
when he made a fast throw to the plate
of Schaefer's hit, failing. however. to
nail the runner.
"Gabby" Street made Jackson look
cheap as a base runner when he caught
him standing up trying to steal second.
For portwheeler, Mitchell was
steady, Street getting the first pass in
the fifth.
"Gwanone," said Perrine to Olson
when he hit into the bleachers in the
sixth. Ole still wonders what Perrine
meant.
Its a regular daily event now for Doc
Gessler to swat for at least one extra
sack, yesterday hitting to left for two
bases.
II Ball hits as he felded the past three
days. his stay in major-league circles
would be indefinite. Although he bingled
yesterday, he looks weak at the bat.
StovalPs bingle in the seventh yester-
day was his first in five games.
Again it must be reiterated, there is
no need of a new first sacker with
Scnaefer in his present form. His double
play with Mcbride in the eighth was
fast work.
Every one of the Maps, save Turner
and Mitchell, found johnson for a safe
hit.
jackson didn't find johnson easy, get
ting lone bingle in four times up.
snappy playing like yesterdays will
mean a greatly improved position for the
Nationals.
johnson looks little like his old self
at last
Two out Of three is going some.
Elberfield has added much strength to
the team by hts all-around work
