Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-05-23


sr today finds himself in a select class
of twfxiers. There are only three in the
class besides Dixie but they don't stand
eny higher than Jimmy McAleer's right
hauder. In explanation 1t might be said
Mr.. Walker IS one Of the few pitchers
who succeeded In really stopping the
Tigers hitting this season. They made
six hits off Dixie but only three OF
them paere real first-class safe drives.
Walker pitched wonderful ball, oonsid-
ering the hitting ability shown by the
men OF Jennings this year. He had the
sBengals eating out of his hand all
through the game. Jim McAleer is high
~ pleased today. The showing OF Walker
against Detroit gives McAleer proof that
his hur1ing staff still has some might in
1t. And Washington hopes for better
fhfngs I'm the future
The Tigers were not entitled to more
than one run and they also stole couple
of hits. Clyde Milan had considerable
trouble with fly balls yesterday. A stiff
wind was blowing and il was hard work
judging the balls in center. One time
Clyde ran back about thirty feet for a
fly and had to come in again more than
twenty feet TO make the catch. Lelivelt
did the same SORT of sprinting under fly
balls Two of these flies got away.
Cobb's single in the sixth was a fly that
Milan misjudged and couldn't get to in
time, while Crawford's fell safe before
Ieiivelt- Jack had raced back to the left
field bleachers 10 make the catch and had
TO come back to the point from where he
originally started. and by that time the
ball hit the United States.
Washington is the first club to beat
Lafitte this year. One point where the
Nationals appeared weak was in base
running. McAleer's men. hitting like
f1endS. did not seem to show any ginger
on the sacks. Schaefer and Milan were
the delightful exceptions to these states
OF inactivity, and the Teuton by his
sprinting got a hit and then worked a
beautiful delayed steal on Stanage He
worked Ii so we'll that big Oscar made a
bad peg, and Herman went all the way to
third Batting left-handed got Schaefer
the hit. He beat a grounder to Bush by
an eyelaSh. feat which he could never
have performed had he been batting from
the other side of the plate. Early in the
game Schaefer secured Washington a
run by his kidding tactics. In the third
inning, with a heavy dust storm raging,
Lafiitte gave Milan base on balls. Two
men were down when the gift came.
Schaefer stepped TO the plate and made
@ speech to the people in the grandstand
1t was good speech. Lafltte didn't want
to hear 1t. and gave Schaefer two wide
ones trying to drown the words of the
Teuton clown. Then he got one over and
Herman received two more wide ones.
Ielfvelt bounded a scratch single to CEN
ter and Milan scored. "Schaef" had a
big day. After the game he held one of
those actor receptions on the infed.
Everybody who ever knew Herman OF
ever heard of him came over and shook
hands. AT first base he gave grand ex-
hibition and made a few e-handed
stops. just to show that he could out
Hal-Chase Hal Chase if he really cared
to.
The feature of the Nationals hitting
was furnished by Mr.. Mcbride The king
of the short field came near making as
many hits as the entire Detroit team. Nc
Bride pulled off the unusual feat of get
ting five hits out of five times at bat,
something which does not happen many
times in any one season. They were all
good drives, too The first one he shot into
right and next he planted one into left.
He sent one TO deep short at a mile-a-
minute and beat Bushs throw by a
couple OF steps, and followed this with
another drive to right and then came
back with a smash to left. This last
one would have netted him a couple of
sacks IL Gessler had proceeded to third.
Besides the heavy incessant firing George
hooked base.
Clyde Milan. who was down In Detroit
rs one OF the games greatest utfielders
also gave a notable exhibition of base
desperate attempt to score from first on
single, but in the third he showed how
big a lead II is really possible to take on
q recruit first sacker Milan took what
looked like an impossible lead. Laftte
whipped the ball to Ness and Ness had
Milan off. but he slid around him. He
repeated this performance five times and
then he stole. He collided with Della
hanty at second. The ball rolled on to
center field. but Milan was laid out. He
recovered and scored run.

Itrfs not a sportsmans game to kick on
the umpires. but OLaughlin and Dineen
Jet Delehanty get away with a raw trick
yesterday. II gave Detroit a run. II
was in the sixth. when Cobb and Craw-
ford each hit a fly for a single. With the
two on sacks Delehanty hunted toward
the box. Delehanty was rushing toward
drst, but Walker got the ball there ahead
OF him. Schaefer stood on the line with
the ball. and Delehanty spread his arms
and crashed into the German. He gave
Schaefer a lusty shove and knocked
himself in front of Schaefer, completely
blocking him. and Cobb scored from sec
ond. Walker also truthfully says that
anything he put over that was called
word. They had all to cut the heart of
the plate OLoughlin couldn't see his
way clear to give Dixie the corners,
Dixie" had the control, though, and
overcame the handicap.

Cunningham booted one across for the
Tigers in the fifth. Moriarty singled and
advanced after Henry picked Stanage's
foul of the grandstand bleacher screen.
LATTE hit an easy roller to Cunningham
and the infielder threw to the stands, Mo-
riarty counting.

Mcbride was caught mapping IN the sec
ond after hitting a single, but in the next
round Milan walked and stole and scored
