Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 5.-Washington
signalized its final appearance Of the
year in this city by suffering an over
whelming defeat at the hands of the Ath-
Ietics at Shibe Park to-day. Hard hitting
in the middle innings yielded 10 to
victory in favor of the champions.
The Nationals gave the smallest crowd
that has assembled in Shibe Park this
season a considerable shock by scoring
four runs in the first two innings before
the White Elephants found their bal
ance The relative form of the opposing
pitchers at the start compared. it did not
seem tnat the Athletics had even small
chance for victory. But It only took one
third of the game TO reverse the pitching
conditions. Big Cashion started out like
a champion, while Krause began like
bush Lacquer. The former did not last
after the third round, while the latter
pitched a most remarkable game after
the second inning.
Three of the four singles gathered from
the delivery of KrauSe were punched in
the opening session. These hits were
greatly magnifed in run-producing re-
suit by two errors, just half the number
the champions made. 1t really took an
other inning for Krause to strike his
form. A pass, a scratch hit. and a wild
pitch were charged against the young
left-hander in the second, but thereafter
he was invInCible. In the preceding
rounds only five men reached first base,
three on passes, on by being hit and the
other on an error. Only two of these
runners proceeded beyond first, and not
one reached third. In a word, after the
second inning Krause held the Nationals
IN the palm of his pitching hand.
Cashion Pounded in Third.
1t seemed a coincidence that the Ath-
letics should open their batting eyes in
the same inning that Krause unlimbered
his best curves and speed. Up to the
third the champions had made only a
scratch single But in the third they
bombarded Cashion of the firing mound.
their net result being four runs. suffi-
cient to tie the score. Becker, who sue
ceeded Cashion, did fair work. His poor
est inning was the fifth, when the White
Elephants broke the tie by taking lead
of four runs. In the sixth, seventh, and
eighth Becker did better. but did not
escape being hit safely in any one of
the innings.
