Delivers the Goods.
Schoolmaster Ray Fisher was In the
box for the HighIanders and he'd the
Nationals to five hits, three OF which
were beautifully punched In the seventh
and produced enough runs to land the
game. Both Fisher and Engel were
backed up by errorless support. which
was remarkable on account OF the sogsy
turf, due to early morning showers.
1t was a lucky hunch that caused
Griff to give his club another slight
shaking up. Frank Laporte held down
second in place OF, Ray Morgan. and II
was Franks healthy wallop in the sew
enth that showed the way to the big
end OF the score. Bill Kenworthy con-
tinued to pastime In left and the Denver
Daisy shot over single at the right
time, scoring a marker, besides cutting
OF a runner at the plate with dandy
throw to Ainsmith. Altogether 1t was
big day for our two new ball players.
Vastly Improved Club.
The Highlanders looked something like
major league club yesterday, in direct
contrast to their appearance here last
month. Jack Leliyelt. the former Ma
tionaI. who played center. and Tommy
Mcmillan, at short, seem to have added
a lot OF strength Leliyelt got In one
of his deadly hits and Mcmillan played
a whale of game In the short field.
In only three innings did the Nationals
get men on the bases. A couple OF safe
blows behind a base on balls in the Sec
ond failed to bring forth fruit. In the
sixth, Engel, led of with a walk. but
never reached second. all of which shows
that Mr. Fisher had something on the
ball.
The seventh frame saw the rout Of the
Highland clan. Gandil ushered in the
joyous proceedings with a pop fly to Hal
Chase. Laporte brought the crowd TO
its feet with a double along the left field
foul line. Fisher became ratified and
uucorked a wild pitch. Laporte pulled
up at third. Kenworthy. with the count
two and three. shot a single to center.

lowed this up with a steal of second.
going to third when McBride's grounder
was too hot for Mcmillan to handle
properly. Ainsmith sent a slow roller
to Mcmillan and was thrown out at
first, Kenworthy crossing the plate on
the play. Engel ended the frolic by
taking three swings.
Wolverton has put a lot OF fight into
that Yankee team, and several times
during the game trouble was scented
The Highlanders had more chances to
score than did the Nationals, but a slip
up in the sixth and a sensational stop in
the ninth by Foster snuffed out two we'll
laid plots for runs.
Hiphlanders Score Run.
With Chase out of the way in the
visitors fourth, Daniels singled to left
and stole second, scoring on a sizzling
grounder which blasted its way through
McBrides paws.
Luck was decidedly with the home
folks in the sixth when Daniels was on
second and Lelivelt smashed to left for
&. clean single. Daniels slipped on the
wet turf half way to the plate, meas
uring his length, and when he finally
scrambled to his feet Ainsmith was
" aiting for him with the ball. But for
Daniels high and lofty tumbling act the
score would have been tied and the bat
tie waged into extra innings
With one gone in the visitors ninth,
Paddock doubled to the left field score
board and reached third on Lelivelt's
out. Simmons drove a ball at Foster
that nearly tore off a hand-it looked like
a sure single. and how Foster was able
