NEW YORK. Sept. SIN the con-
GLIDING game of the series with
the Athletics, the Nationals had about
as much of a chance as an insur-
gent at a standpat Republican rally.
The club from Taftville got away well
enough and with a substantial Lead.
Before it was all over the men of Nc
Aleer had been completely routed end
lost by 10 to L. Harry Krause has not
done anything this year up to yesterday
that would entitIe him to a niche in the
hall Of fame, but against the Nationals
he really pitched wonderful game,
barring that poor start. Before the
slants and shoots of Krause the Ma
tionals were so helpless after the first
two innings that they DID not even get
hit, not considering the matter OF
forcing a man across the plate. The
control Of the young man with the Ger
man name was not the best, but when he
did get them over he had so much stuff
on the ball that his foes were utterly
helpless. Up to yesterday Krause had
been considered more or less of a joke
by the experts, but the opinion was free
ly expressed last night that II Krause
can continue along the pace which he
started yesterday. he may be honoreG
by being ordered to start a game in the
worlds series which every one seems 10
think is now aSsured-with the New
FORK Giants as opponents.
Cashion and Becker.
Against Krause. getting away poorly
but soon pitching like a house afire.
Cashion and Becker, the Nationals Of
fering, were simply unable to stop the
men who have the championship bee
in their top hats.
Honest John" Henry, the WASH
ington backstop, who has the least
experience, was sent behind the bat to
receive Cashion, who is one of the
youngest pitchers on the club. 1t Is
well known that Cashion's greatest
weakness is his lack OF control, and he
was unable to control the ball yester-'
day. Finally, after the inning in
which the Athletics took the lead by
scoring four runs. Charley Becker took
up the going.
Becker was quite an Improvement, but
he was behind the form which he show
ed at Washington, ana the Athletics
garnered a half dozen counts while he
was performing. In the eighth inning
Murphy tore OF a terrific drive through
the pitchers box which, 1t was thought,
would cripple Becker, but the navy yard
product came back smiling and finished
the game, asserting that the blow had
not injured him in the least.
Our old friend, Clyde Milan, pulled off
a couple of pretty running catches, but
aside from this the general work was
without Importance only the per-
formances OF Eddie Collins shin
ing. Milan opened the game by
beating out bounder in the in
field, and Schaefer following with
a single. Both paraded a base when
Elberfeld laid down q perfect sacrifice,
and then came Gessler with a hit which
drove in a couple OF counts which look
ed mighty big against the Athletics.
Gessler went down on the throw. IN, and
when Lord booted Walkers drive into
left field the doctor crossed the plate.
Henry Scores In Second.
In the second Henry walked, was sac
rifced to, second, moved to third on
g passed ball and sprinted across the
plate when Milan singled through short.
This made the Nationals look mighty
good. but In the next session the Mack
men 9ct 81 busy that they tied up on
base on balls. MorEan's error and
four hits. This finished Cashion. and
Pecker took up the going. He locked
good enough IN the fourth. but in the
fifth. four hits and q Wild pitch netted
the homers four moro runs and II was
all or.
They got the Others In the sixth and
