NEW YORK. June II. : Washington
scored two runs and earned them. There
was only another inning in which Wash
lngton hal IN opportunity to score, and
If Milan hal been smart enough to hit
the bail safely perhaps the Washingtons
would have added another brace TO their
totals The HiGhlanders scored their
first two runs without earning them, and
the third wasn't so credtable as it might
have been. and yet the Hishianders
might have made other runs if the
Washingtons had not played one inning
with as much style to it "a any that has
been played in New York this year. In
fact. there is doubt whether there has

How Walker got up TO the ball Is the

at 2 o'clock. Also there will prob

or Tuesday.
Walker wasn't satisfied with one
marvelously good catch. He ran to
the left field fence. which is some
chase, and pulled down sure three
base hit by Cree. He didn't seem to
be able to bat Quinn with much ef-
fectiveness until the last time UP. Then
he cracked one into HartZell. which up
set that young man. Ainsmith was on

In the first inning both Schaefer and
Elberfeld seemed to beat out their hits,
and both were inclined to believe that
Connolly was wrong. Also there were
others in the throng who were with
the Washington players. What's the

you're down, and everybody knows
about it.

do something with the bat, Washington
might have got in with both feet
