Boehling. Ayres, OF course, was not re-

the youngster was taken out. But it did
not seem good policy 10 allow -ayres, be

out and sent IN BoehlinS. No one in the

Inasmuch as errors are part of base
ball and just as apt to creep into a game
as are base hits, there Is no occasion for
showerirg abuse on players who happen
TO offend in this way. The severe crit
icism and jeers snowered on the local
players when they were making lot of
mistakes in the seventh inning were abb
Solutely uncalled for. There have been
few games this season in which the Ma
tonals have booted away chances to win
In this respect the team has probably
made az good a showing az any in the
country. But such innings as the sew
enth are apt to come to any team and
matters are not helped by having the
spectators heap abuse on the players.
Fortunately. the average player Is fa-
milan with the fickleness OF the fans
who laud him to the sky one day and de-
naud his release the next. That is why
few players ever acknowledge applause,
knowing well that q moment later they
may be Jeered for some mssplay.

Doc Ayres debut was a success. not
withstandiuG the fact that the game was
won BY the Browns. But il was not
Ayres' fault that a victory was not
scored. Ilc pitched well enough TO win
most any game. but his support faltered,
and il was because of this that the
Browns rolled five runs over the plate in
one inning.
Ayres seemed TO have a lot of stuff. and
while he gave q couple of bases on balls,
both of which developed into runs, he
really should not have been scored on,
errors being responsible for every one Of
the tallies.

With the Athletics assured Of this year
pennant there remains but one contest to
interest the fans, and that is the strug-
gle for second place between the Ma
tionais and Maps. The tie, which existed
between these two teams up to yesterday
when it was broken by the Maps victory
over New York and the defeat of the
Nationals by the Browns, still remains a
most interesting struggle, in which Cleve-
land is leading by single game. The
Maps play their final game In the east
with New York today. and then go west
to hook up in a five-game series with De-
troit, while the Nationals go to New York
for a three-game series
The chances are that the outcome Of
these series will come pretty near to de-
,,iding which of the two teams Is to gain
the honor of being the runner-up in the
present race.
The Browns also bid farewell to the
east after the final game with the Ma
tiunals this afternoon Griffith will pitch
either Shaw or Groom, while Hickey Is
expected to send either WeilInan or Roy
Mitchell to the stab Both Of the Browns
sitbrnan have been successful against the
Nationals on more than one occasion this
season. This is particularly true of
Mitchell. who has Yet to lose a game to
the locals. Tie finished the game for the.
Browns yesterday. but only worked one
inning SO could come back today if he is
wanted.

tine worlds series will open two weeks
from today, so that Mack will have am
pie time to get his team in shape for the
clash with the Giants. who, while not vet
absolutely certain of the National League
flag. are not in the slightest danger Of
being beaten to the wire
Mack's principal object during the next
two weeks Will be TO prepare the two vet
eran pitchcrs--Bender and Plank-for the
crucial series. and if he can round them
into their best form they will be suffi-
GENTLY capable to give the Giants hard
struggle.

Up TO that seventh inning the Nationals
played some brilliant ball. and because OF
this gained what appeared to be COM

help Ayres out of trouble by two brilliant
catches and throws which resulted in
couple of double plays. In the hfth in
ming he caught McAllister's ny and whip

he undoubtedly prevented trouble by max
ing similar double play at first base.
Shotten had walked to start this inning
and on the hit-and-run play he'd started
for second when Austin popped g. little
fly to short right field. Moeller came In
on q hard run. C. ught the ball. and with
out ever stopping to steady himself threw
to Gandil. the ball getting there before
Shotten could return to the bag. Pratt
followed with a two-bagger which would
have proved productive but for Moellers
good play.
Gandirs steal Of home in the fifth was
q clever piece Of base running. After two
were out In this inning Foster hit safely
and stole second Gandil walked and
Morgan hit safely to left. sending Foster
home, while by a good run Gandil went
all the way to third on the throw-in.
Gandil took advantage Of Leverenz's wind
up and made a dash for the plate. reach
ing there safely while Morgan went to
second on the play. Henry. however. fail
ed to help Morgan along, for he struck
out.
A decision at first base by Umpire
Sheridan. By which he declared Pratt
safe on a grounder hit to Mcbride, who
got the ball well toward his right and
was forced to make a long throw, played

beaten Pratt full step. but Sheridan
called him safe and as there were two out

But for this decision the Browns would

Nationals who played In Binghamton

| Manager Hickey of the Browns made
quite a change In his lineup. His most
surprising switch was the playing of
Pratt at first base. Ever since Pratt
has been q member OF the Browns he
| has been played at second. where. how
| ever. he has never been star fielder.
| His change to first may be a splendid
move. for with experience he may learn

| Hickey played Wares at second. where
he showed to good advantage. and he
used Williams In left and played a young
! ster named Sloan in right. The Browns
are hustling for Hickey as they never
