The Washington herald., 1911-06-25

New York, June 24.-Hal Chase's select
circle Of sluggers gauged the pitching OF
all the men Manager McAleer trotted
out to-day. pounding them all with i'm
partial fervor and acerbity, and batting
their way to two victories. 1t is the first
home double-header for the Highlanders,
and on their side the afternoon was con-
gested with runs. The Washingtons
were left a good way behind in each
game, though in the first they had a lead
for mile and the New Yorks had TO
play an uphill game to win. In the
second they sailed along in smooth
4 waters the whole voyage, and fished up
the runs in cumulative quantities.
The four hours of baseball which edi-
fed the populace provided stomachful,
but on account OF the rampant hitting
and the fact that the locals had the
better of it in that regard, the games
did not PAIL though they supplied an
ample suficiency of the national pastime
for one afternoon The Washingtons
did as well as any team could do be-
hind pitchers who couldn't prevent
steady fusillades of base hits.
Both Clubs Slug Ball.
Both teams punished pitching in the
first game, but the Washingtons could
hit but scatteringly after Caldwell went
in. Vaughn was batted out in the third
after bouncing the ball OF the Wash
ington bats for vicious waIlops with
great success. Caldwell pitched good
game and struck out nine men in seven
innings. The removal of Hughes did not
stop New Yorks hitting. Gray and Otey
were handled just as harshly.
Sherry was slammed for clusters Of
hits in the second game, whereas Brock
att was an able workman on the knoll.
The king doesn't get many chances to
go through e full game, but here was one
in which he showed real quality.
Daniels, Hartzen, and Cree organized
themselves into a league of ball-breakers
and slugged with unabated Yigor from
luncheon till sundown. They planted
themselves at the plate and tunneled the
ambient with long-distance liners. Dan
iels made five hits, including two doubles
and g. home runI Hartze1 seasoned his
pot-pourri of wailops with two triples and
a double and Cree was connected with
six hits, including triple and double
Cree wasn't feeling very well and last
time he was up he hit a ny which drop
ped into Milan's hands UP near Fort
George.
The Nationals made a run in the first,
inning OF the first game on hit by
EIberfeld, the Kids steal and a two
-bagger by Lelivelt which Fitzgerald
misjudged.
Daniels whaled a two-bagger to CEN
ter in New York's behalf and was
promptly caught ne sping by Hughes
and Mcbride. Fitzgerald died at first,
but the Highlanders weren't discour-
aged. Hughes pitching looked soft to
them, and after HartzeIl had laid down
e hit, Cree sloughed a triple to left.
Birdie tried to stretch his hit, but Nc
Brides fine throw put the copper on
Birdie at tie plate.
Triple for "Red" walker.
"A walk, a sacrifice, and Hughes sin
gle scored Mcbride in the second, and
in the third EIberfeId and Lelivelt
Jared Vaughn for hits. and Walker
cleaned up with a triple. Mcbride
punched hit on Caldwell and brought
walker through, but from that on
Caldwell gave the Washingtons va
riety of shoots they couldn't fathoIn.
Daniels doubled in the third and
batted in Caldwell, who had made an
infieId single. Daniels, effort to stretch
his hit was a stupid play, for the bali
was in range of his vision all the time.
and he might have known his rush for
third was foolhardy. Milan and Nc
Bride ferried the ball to third ahead
of the wild-running Daniels. He lost
two or three runs for New York by his
injudicious zeal.
A wild throw by Elberfeld and two
outs gave the New Yorks q run IN the
fifth, and in the sixth they tied the score
on the energetic hitting CT Hartzell Cree.
and Chase. Hughes tried TO pass Chase.
but Chase reached across the plate and
jabbed a hit to right. The New Ycrks
made eight runs in their last three IN
nings. Two IN the seventh were due to
a pass to Caldwell and hits by Fitzgerald
and Cree. The ordeal which Otey faced
in the eighth consisted OF a two-bagger
by Chase. two-bagger by Blair, an infield
Lit, by Caldwell, and home run to right
by Daniels.
Eslivelt tripIed in tho ninth. and after

scored LeIivelt. Hrking back to the
fourth inning, the New YOrks were
guilty of negligence ON a delayed steal
