Johnson Defeats Warhop in
Lengthy Duel on Mound,
6 to 5.
BY SENATOR"

Four innings of kindergarten baseball.
discouraging and disgusting to the few
fans ranged around the diamond yester-
day, at the Florida avenue park, were
followed by a dozen of the greatest ex-
hibitions ever seen anywhere. With two
gone in the sixteenth frame, Ray Nor
gan punched a solid single to center,
bringing Foster across with the winning
run of a 6-to-5 score, and Walter John
son had defeated Jack Warhop in one OF
the prettiest duels of the season.
When Ray Fisher bent his head in de-
his place and. though he had worked
but two days before, proceeded to puz-
zle the heaviest hitters of the Nationals
with alarming success. He weakened a
trife in the sixth, allowing three runs
to come in and tie the tally, but from
then on till that last inning he was In
vincible. wiggling out of tight places
with marvellous skill putting the brakes
on the fast-traveling Nationals. and
choking off all thei rattempts at bring
ing over the winning run.
Joe Engel. wild as any young hawk,
was yanked from the melee In the
fourth to let Walter johnson save the
day, and johnson swung along inning
after inning with his own true skill and
strength. For five innings he held the
Highlanders hitless, and then, when
the enemy landed on him, Foster and
Mcbride came to the rescue and. by re-
markable fielding, kept the Highla nders
from showing the needed tally over the
platter.
In the final four innings Johnson took
on added strength and again held the
Highlanders powerless with the speed OF
his hooks and benders On the other
hand, Warhop was always in trouble
though managing to escape the reward
/ Of his crimes until the sixteenth ses-
! sion was nearly concluded.
! The Nationals tied up the score in the
sixth and then both teams settled dowr
to great fight for that extra run
Inning after inning passed and wher
the extra frames began to be chalk ed
! up the fans waXed hilarious. They
were watching one of the best baseball
battles in the history of the game, and
knew it. Even Jimm Saffell displayed
interest once in a while.
The Washington times., 1912-07-06

Down the line went both teams. dght-
ing valorously for that extra run. Now
the Highlanders got a man on first,
showed him to second. and saw the
others behind him fade away before the
speed OF Johnson. Then the Nationals
would pound out a single or double,
only to have Warhop step in and freeze
all efforts at scoring.
And so it came do %n to the sixteenth.
The rooters were getting hungry, but
they remained. Dutch" Schaefer an
nounced that the Climbers would play
all night till they got that one run. He
said the New York train did not leave
till 1880, and there vas plenty of time.
But hardly had he finished his pronun-
ciamento when Moeller punched a single
through the box to midheld, and cheers
broke out in a storm.
Foster followed suit with a crashing
safety to left field, just escaping the
wild leap of Wolverton. Milan had a
chance to be a hero. but Warhop
pounced upon his attemptN sacrifice
and tossed out Moeller at third. 1t was
up to Gandil He dropped teaser in
front of the plate and Sweeney got him
at first by several strides. There were
now two down and Ray Morgan, who
had yet to make a hit, stood at the
plate. the personification of GOODNESS.
