CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 15.-Over a dull,
drear, dismal waste Of featureless
innings, punctuated here and there
with an occasional decorating double
death or screaming crashing bingles,
the Naplanders wandered to a fourth
and final victory over the Nation
ais by a score of to l, at Cleveland.
yesterday. Uncle Cy" Young, the
youngest old man playing ball, was
easily master of Dixie Walker, and
never for a moment was in danger of
losing his honors in the struggle with
his more youthful opponent
Old Cyrus had everything working in his
repertoire and kept the enemy ceasely
swinging their fails to no avail from
beginning to end. He was equally stingy
with his passes and bingles as he is
said to be with his dollars, and romped
home an easy winner, the field being
fair in the rear.
Early in the combat, however, it was
a pitchers battle. and three dizzy, daz-
zling double plays slaughtered the we'll
meaning Nationals even as they stood.
Two of them started with strikeout,
Fisher taking the final heave and get
ting a man on the bases. The last one
was of the regular type. Turner getting
1t under way and numbering Schaefer
and EIberfeld on the paths.
Walker Digs Own Grave.
Dixie Walker. sometimes dubbed tho
Alabama beauty by the unknowing, dug
his own grave in the opening session,
when, with one down, he passed Olson
and Jackson. John Henry's magnifi-
cent? throw to third spiked Olaf in an
attempted double steal, but Jackson
scored from second on Stovall's hot
drive over Dixies head to center.
Though the Naplanders had several
runners leaping about the paths after
that, not till the sixth did they manage
to get another run. Bill Cunningham's
latest style of harem panties did not
permit of his stopping Jackson's roller,
and the Southern whirlwind scooted to
second on Stovall's sacrifice. 'Birming-
ham hoisted to Milan but Ball chose
one of Dixie's very best and hammered
it to left for two hassocks, sending
jackson across the pan.
Two more hits. coupled with Nc
Brides painful error, allowed the Nap
landers to get two more runs in the
seventh. After Clarence Walker had
against the beams of the afternoon sun
Mcbride fooled with Cy Young's offer
ing and the old man elephanted his
way safely to first. Mcbride made a
valiant try for Graney's smash near
third, but II went as bingle.
Tally For Uncle Cy.
The Nationals captain tossed out
Olson, but Dixie Walker tied himself in
a bow-knot to escape sudden death when
Jackson hammered one back at him.
The ball went to center and Uncle Cy
Tailed, closely pursued by Graney.
Young had faced just twenty-eight
men till the ninth. and none of them
had been able to do much, with his as
sortment of slants and shoots, but in
that last spasm many fans received
their moneys worth. The sIeepers
awoke to see Graney lose Schaefer's fly
in the sun. and the comedian reached
second. Then they saw Kid Elberfeld,
the little fellow who never quits, poke
q safety to left.
With Doc Gessler at the plate, II
looked like trouble for the veteran
hurler, but he frightened his belt and
forced Gessler to swing thrice and hit
ting but the sweet afternoon breeze.
Clargence Walker, the rookie gardener,
was the right lad in the pinch, though.
and his teasing little fly to short left
fell safe close to the line Schaefer
toddled over with the Nationals one
