Johnston and Turner bordered ON
the sensational and robbed the
home folks of sure enough hits.
Joe Engel got away poorly. His avn
wild heave and couple Of hits gave
the enemy o runs in the first
inning Joe was invincible during the
remainder of the time he WAS allowed to
stick around, and would have finished
the game but for the fact that pinch
hitter replaced him at bat in the Ma
tionals' eighth.
Tom Hughes twirled the Nationals

Of slams yielded many runs. but this
made little difference as to the ultimate
result Tor those two markers obtained
off Engel in the opener were enough to
nut the visitors on the winning end of
the score.
Mitchell In Form.
The Nationals could do little against
Mitchell for the reason that except in
the ninth he refused to allow liberties
when danger threatened.

but he gave one decision at the plate on
the attempted double steal of Turner and
Graney in the fifth that awakened the
derisive outlaws from the, Washington
fans. Terry had home plate packed
away. but Hildebrand waved him out and
then submitted to the laughter of the
home fans over his total absence of
sight.
The Maps wasted little time in putting
the game in the cache. Leibold swung
at the first ball pitched and broke a
dandy double to right. Chapman laid the
ball down. Engel came in, fumbled the
sphere, and then hurled it a mile over
Gsndirs head. Leibold easily made the
plate, and Chappie skipped along to Sec

single to right-center scored Chappy.
There was a dubious tinge to the out
look when Mitchell passed two men, and
a single had filled the bases in the first
with one man gone. Willie steadied like
a clock and made Morgan hit into a
double play, Chapman to Larry to
Johnston. In the second the Climbers
loomed dangerous again when Willie <
desire to see parade made him pass
two other pilgrims. But he soon stopped
any chances Of scoring by striking out
Engel and Moeller, and choking of any
chances of runs.
There was nothing doing for either
side until the ninth. Mitchell was rout-
ing his opponents in the effective one
two-three order. and Engel, until the
eighth, was regaling the local fans by
bis work in the breach.

tale. and Mitchelrs pitching suppressed
readily and nicely.
In the ninth Graney opened off Hughes
by potting the ball to the fence in right
for a double. OMEN missed three
sOngs, and then Mitchell, to help along
his work established an epoch by getting
his second hit of the day, a single to
right that scored Jack. Liebold Lamp

Mitchell to third. Chapman popped to
Mcbride and Jackson walked. The old
r. monarch of second Larry was again on
deck with his usual hit a single to
center that scored Mitchell and Liebold
and placed Jackson on third. The latter
scored shortly afterwards on a passed
ball that got away from Henry.
Washington's lone run came in the
ninth on Williams single and McBride's
