By SENATOR"

Two little Dutchmen did it. With
Gabby Street standing like a conquering
hero on third, waiting to be brought
across with the tieing tally, the robust
and bubbling Heinie Schaefer, known to
- thousands as the man who invented the
crooked bat, ambled carefully to the
pan, dismissing Jack Lelivelt and taking
his place. Then he did it,
1hings were breaking bad right about

and they continued for a while. He
didn't take a peek at them. as is his
custom. Schaefer cracked the first BEN
der like a rocket between Williams and
r Larry Gardner. for a merry bingle. And
ne laughed, ha, ha, as he saw Gabby
street on his. way to the bench with
the score tied UP.
Then the Other One.
Then came the other little Dutchman.
Norman Peppcrbox ElberfeId. startling
thirdsacker of the Nationals Warren
: Miller, another Dutchman, too, bv the
way, and Zeb Milan were roosting on
- third and second, respectively, when
Elberfeld caught one right on its little
cohk and sent 1t on crescendo out to
the lef:-feld bleachers. 1t dropped on
rooter from Iowa and made him sore,
Tor he had been roofing for the visitors,
though an industrious reporter was un-
able to find out Why. ElberfeId sat on
second, and those two lads, Miller and
Milan, went over to the bench and sat
down. So those two little Dutchmen.
Herman Liverwurst Schaefer and Nor.
man Pepperbox ElberfeId, are no friends
OF Patsy Donovan, manager of the Red
Sox. They proved It yesterday.
John Henry was the bright particular
star of the Nationals on their first an
pearance in the new park, and the Am
herst boy proceeded to get into the good
graces of the fans by doing some gym
nastics at his corner and then marching
mp to the plate and polling out a couple
of real bingles. His first waIIop was q
daisy to right center, in the fourth
With one down in that memorable sixth.
Henry banged another beauty to right
that even the flying Hooper was unable
20 reach.
A Marvellous Stop.
One of Henry's stops was marvel of
speed and grace. George Mcbride hur-
rted his throw on Engle's bounder. and
it went wide and low. 1t didn't feaze
John Henry, though. The boy reached
out as far as he could. and that's some,
too, and scooped that ball in with never
the suggestion of failure. All in all.
Henry should have been a Dutchman
Yesterday. He played pretty much like
the other two.
The 5000 or more fans wanted TO see
a victory and they were given Just what
they wanted, and they got it in one solid
Ruopathic dose. Few will ever forget
that sixth inning when the Dutchmen
got busy with their clouters. With Cess
Ter out of the way, John Henry horned
IN with a bingle to right. and George
Mcbride was safe when Capt Charlie
Wagner fell all over his little teaser.
The fans were murmurlng a bit: yes,

nevermore, for the Red Sox leader was
having a rather poo. day of it. The
Bride was in. One more tally and the
score would be tied. Milan singled to
left and the cushions were loaded when
the Dutchmen got in their work.
Tieing the Score.
Schaefer's crack to right tied up the
score, and then Elberfeld's mighty drive
put the Nationals ahead, while several
fans went insane out in the left field
bleachers. Five runs had been made,
but Jimmy McAleer was pulling for at
least one more, and he got it. Bill Cum
ningham, who had whitfield only three
times out of thrice up, became phleg-
matte and walked. Karger, who had re-
placed Joe Wood with Lelivelt standing
at the pan, couldn't get his benders
working properly and plunked Doc Cess
for another run, Germany Schatfer being
forced IN with the sixth tally of that
inning. In the eighth Doc Gessler was
responsible for another run, the last
one made by the Nationals. Kid Elber-
field poled double TO right center and
came In when the doctor banged out
another to right.
r. Joe Wood and Dolly Gray looked good
when they started. They rapidly took
q change for the worse. Gray seemed
afflicted with stage fright, and this dis
ease being tied up with couple of
sweet hits proved too much for Dolly.
The southpaw held the ball instead of
throwing II, issued a couple of walks,
and had wild pitch all in the fourth
session.
Joe Wood was bit wild but Wagner's
many boots and yellow heaves were
responsible for his undoing. The Kan
sas lad didn't look so bad. Karger, who
followed him, started in wobbly man.
ner, but finally came down to earth.
Dixie Walker, following Dolly Gray
TO the slab, had to be held up continual
" by Gabby Street. The Alabama kid
didn't seem to like the going at all, and
In that final session he was doing a lot
of shivering.
No, 1t wasn't exactly a ball game. Ger
tainly IT wasn't a good game, but the
Nationals won. That excuses whole
lot. And don't forget those two little
Dutchnen. They did it. !
