the superior strategy OF Griffith
carried the day. the Nationals in
filcted a second defeat upon the
Red SoN today, score. ? toI. No
more brilliant game from a spec
tators standpoint has been wit
messed this season. and it was only
because OF the remarkable reserve
force iii the person of Walter
Johnson. whom Griffith had on
hand. that the game was won.
For six innings it seemed that
the one run with which the locals
had been presented by Joe Engel
IN the second round when he
forced red ilosed warrior over
the plate would be sufficient to
win the day. That one run gained
IN proportion as inning after in
ming rolled BY and the Nationals
were unable to score off Bedient.
It was d heart-diseasc game which
Engel pitched. lie walked ten
batters. hit another. but remark
ably enough did not allow a single
base hit or anything that resenl-
bled one. Finally III the seventh !
inning the visitors tied the score. /
thanks to an error by Englc and !!
timely drive BY Shanks. This !
having been accomplished, Crit /
nth decided to take no further
chance. so when Engel walked /
Hooper with one out in the Red |
Sox half OF this inning. and
Hooper after getting big lead
