The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1911-06-04

No, it's a fact, there wasn't a thing
to 1t but the fat man from Detroit,
George Muchness MuIlin. He had
everything when it came to twirling
and his conferees galloped in ahead
with a score of to 2. Our own
peerless pitcher, W. Terrific John
son, tried his best. which wasn't
much, and-well, notice that score?
That's 1t.
With Johnson carded to do the
mound work the 1000 rooters figured
on some excitement from the very
start. They got 1t, but it wasn't the
kind they figured on, that's all. The
Tigers took a flying jump right off
the reel and bounced beautiful bin
giles off Johnson's slants for three
tallies. Huh, it was "crool," that's
what it was.
Davey Jones, general crab, belted
the pill past Conroy at express speed
and grabbed second as Jack Lelivelt
played pinochle with it off the ce-
ment barrier. Owen Bush dumped
a bunt between Conroy and John
son and the Widow" seized 1t and
let fly at first base. No, Henry wasn't
there, having shot in to field the hit,
and Cunningham was gyrating about
second. Jones went all the way
around and Bush landed at second
while Henry chased himself over to
the hoi polloi in right. A woman
back of the screen murmured one
naughty word under her breath.
Then Terrible Tyrus.
Then came the mighty Tyrus Ray
mond Cobb, Georgia peacherino. who
spattered the stitches all over right field,
sending the midget shortstop across and
reaching third himself before Doc Cess
Ter could tie himself up to the pill. That
woman nearly said 1t again.
"Rubbershirt Bill Cunningham made
a neat assist on Crawford's bounce, but
Jim Delehanty caught one of Johnson's
fast ones, and away it went to right,
sending Cobb over with the third run.
Then the woman did say ii, the same
word she said before. Johnson exerted
himself and famed Moriarty, Street i'm
mediately hurting the ball TO Cunning
ham, who caught the thieying Dele
hanty.
The Nationals got a run in the second
that was actually funny. "GabbY..
Street intercepted a bender with the
rear of his neck. Johnson then tore
off a terrific drive between Cobb and
Jones. ''Gabby" was under full steam
and-well, third looked about his limit.
But nothing like that. for the animated
steam roller just circled that corner
and was on his way home. He got
there, too, strange to say, Johnson get
ting two sacks on his drive
So the Tigers pinned on one more in
the fifth when Bush singled, took an
other on a wild pitch, and scored on
Crawford's double to left. Two more in
the eighth, too. Cobb bounced a bingle
to center. travelling to third as Milan
let the drive go through his pins. He
tailed on Crawford's single to center.
Ha. ha, here's some fuzzy work. Craw-
ford started for second, and would have
but-nobody covered the sack. Craw-
ford reached third.
A Couple of Singles.
Delehanty singled to right bringing
Crawford over. Moriarty also got a
single, the fourth in a row, off the
Peerless Pitcher, and that same woman
was getting all ready to say II over
again when Walter peaked up and
threw out O'Leary on his sacrifice and
whitfield Stanage and Mullin, two husky
maulers.
The Nationals corralled another run in
their half of the eighth. No, come to
think of 1t, Johnson did it himself. He
opened the session by driving the ball
