BOSTON, May 2-Dat fela dey call
Hack Engle, he maka da bigga disapa-
point for da Nationals wild Jimmy da
Mac, and Jimmy da Mac lose da game
by one run.
That's a fact; II Hack" Engel hadn't
pulled off a circus stop of Bill Cunning
ham in the first of the ninth. getting
him at first on a magnificent heave to
Alva Williams. the chances are that Kid
Elberfeld would have continued around
third and tied UP the yarn by sliding
over the platter. AS It was. Eddie Kar-
ger, pitching a good game, received a
deserved victory by score OF to 2.
But that stop of Engels was a regular
red-skinned pippin of the best variety.
The Red Sox were ahead by that one
run when Elberfeld waited out for four
wide boys. Once on the bag he did his
best to rattle the Texas policeman. but
getting him at first. and then famed
locomotive John Somerlot as Elber-
field did the Annette KeIlerman into sec
ond. The fans, shivering in their over
coats, yelled loudly for Karser to fan
Rubber Shirt Bill" for the third straight
time.
on the hit and run Bill piled into one
close to the outside corner Of the dish.
The pill danced madly toward the third
bag. Engel also danced madly toward
tween them. Elberfeld was dashinz for
third, expecting to 20 right on; Cum
ningham was dashing for first.
What Taylor Did.
But what was the use? The lad that
John Interference Taylor denounced as
not being worth his salt on a club rep
resenting a leading grocery store. got
his fins on that pill, whirled around
from the impetus of the shock and
then, true as a die, shot II straight
across the diamond to Alva Williams,
the man who walks like house. just
a fraction of a second before Cunning
hams feet hit the bag the ball landed
in williams glove and Jimmy McAieer
groaned, for he had slipped below the
800 mark.
The nifty and nervous Nationals got
an early lead and Bobby Groom was
twirling that article Of ball that made
some place famous. With Milan out OF
the way, "Wid" Conroy. Lelivelt. and
Elberfeld came up in z row and sprlnkled
singles in Patsy Donovans garden.
Hurrah, the bags were jagged and Con,
Iov came across when Mcbride hoisted
a sacrifice to Speaker. Engle slammed
out Somerlot. One run.
In the third another tally bloomed for
Jeems -McAleer. With two dead by the
side OF the road Jack Lelivelt. sort OF
a hitting kid of the day biffed 1t on the
proboscis along the left field foul line
for a couple Of sacks. Kid Elberfeld
took a reef in his trousers, remembered
his wife and children at home, and
scored Jack with a pretty drive to left
field.
Karser, not to be outdone when It
came to winning his own game, whaled
cne of Groom's twisters over the gar
den wall in left for a homer. the sixth
ever made in that place on the grounds.
That was in the third. and 1t didn't
rest well on Groom's little tummy, for
in the next round he tottered, giving
three hits, mixed up with wild pitch
that gave the Red Sox two runs and put
them iii the lead.
Iris Speaker was in the hole when he
drove his single to center. and he scoot-
ed to second on Lewis duplicate to left
Then came the insane heave advancing
both men. Speaker came in on Engle's
long sacrifice sailer to Milan. but Steve
Yerkes, sub for Heinie Wagner, step
ned into the pellet and smote it on the
thigh for two buttons, Lewis coming
over. Milan got the kallooners Of the
next duo having all three put-outs for
the round.
"Steamboat Bill" Otev relieved Groom
In the next inning, and rolled along very
we'll after getting away to n bad start.
