piously yesterday from the fountain Of
youth, and, twirling in a manner unex-
ceIled here this season, lead the Maps to
victory over the Nationals in the final
game Of the series, by score Of to 2
As much as the fans wanted to see the
Nationals win, there was feeling Of sat
isfaction when the last Of the locals was
retired in the ninth and win credited to
"Cy." When the veteran started his
game, IT looked as if he was about to
deliver his valedictory, two bits and two
runs being scored or him in the open
ing round. But thenceforth the old fell
low was fnvincibIe, and the Nationals
were moved down with regularity. But
six scattered hits were made OF Young,
and these were wholly ineffective after
the first inning, save in the third, when
a classy throw by Jackson from right
to Smith doubled Milan at the plate.
Cy Young really won the game in the
very first inning, when a base on balls
to Schaefer, Lelivelts two-bagger, and
Elberfeld's triple had scored two runs.
Doc Gessler was up, and II the dentist
had added another safe smack at this
stage it would have been dollars to
doughnuts that Young would have gone
to the stable and somebody else sent in
TO pitch. Unfortunately for the hopes of
the home fans Gessler struck out and
Mcbride, next up, was easy.
Double Plays Rob Nationals.
Double plays in the third and fourth
robbed the Nationals Of runs. Milan
took a desperate chance in the third
when he tried to score on Lelivelts ny
to jackson. The throw was perfect, and
Clyde was easily caught Gessler found
himself doubled up at the hot corner
in the fourth on McBride's grounder to
Turner. as StovaIl slammed the ball back
to Olson, and the husky outfielder was
nailed. These were the only chances out
side of the first chapter where the Ma
tionals had a ghost of show.
Superb fielding helped Young greatly.
jackson, with a throw to the plate in
the third. starred defensively, Milanr the
runner. being beaten to the slab yards
by the ball. Olson was busy at short,
while Graney made several clever catch
es in left But one error marred the
Maps playing. Birmingham throwing
wild to Stovau in the third to catch
Milan mapping, Zeb going to third on
the heave.
Groom lasted but five innings before
the Maps, nine hits and five runs being
made off him. Hughes, who. followed,
worked his old charm on the Maps, but
Ofensively, Graney, Jackson, and Sto-
vail were most prominent. Graney con-
nected- twice, Jackson went him one bet
ter and StovaI bingled for 800. Two
fast double plays by Jackson, Smith. and
Turner and Stovau and Olson, each Of
which prevented runs, featured the Maps
work.
Young was given announcement IN the
first inning when the Maps scored enough

poled to right for two sacks, going tC
third when Groom threw wild TO catch
him mapping, Olson taking second on the
heave after getting first by being hit. 1t
was up to Jackson, but Groom worked
the corners and the General famed.
StovaH produced the goods with a single
to left, Graney and Olson tallying, the
manager going to third when Lelivelt's
throw to Street struck Olson. Birming-
ham sent Stovall home with a single to
center, but Birmy was doubled at third
on Turner's grOunder to Elberfeld, the
Kid relaying to Schaefer, and the latter
tossing TO Mcbride, who nailed Birmy at
third.
Maps Again Score.
1t wasn't until the fifth inning that the
Maps scored again. With two down,
Jackson made his second hit, a single to
third. Stoval followed with a double.
and both scored on Birmingham's single
to left, Birmy dying at second on Leli-
velt's throw in, Groom tossing to Gun
ningham for the out Hughes took up
the burden in the sixth, and the Maps
were held runless, two singles in the
ninth, their best effort of Hughes, being
unproductive.
For an inning it looked as IL the bell
would be rung on ''Cy," for the Nationals
went after him savagely IN the first
round. After Schaefer had been passed
with one down, Lelivelt doubled to left.
Both scored when Elberfeld lined to the
fence for three sacks. Gessler and Nc
Bride were unable to find "Cy," and the
danger was passed.
During the remainder Of the game, the
Nationals never were dangerous, two
double plays cutting them of when they
looked threatening.
Young was unusually steady, passing
but one man, and striking out eight.
At no time beyond the first inning was
he in trouble, a clever change of pace
working havoc with the local hitters.
Judging from his work yesterday about
seven clubs in the American League
will claim Young II waivers are asked
on him.
