the Nationals Yesterday when
they won out d game III which
up to the ninth they appeared
hopelessly beaten. The score
was tied i'll this inning. and two
rounds later. the eleventh, saw
the team which but few mo-

defeat leave the field in triumph.

T. John Henry With two men

run which tied the score. and two
innings later his bat was respon-
sible for the run which won the
game. Again there were two out.
aud Laportc was purposely passed
10 get Henry up. Having driven
IN the tying run, it was not figured
possible that he could do more
damage, but in this the visitors
erred. for Henry again came
through with the much wanted
hit and the game was won.
1t was remarkable game OF
ball in more ways than one. No
game could have been harder
fought, and before Griffith was
through he had used about every
man at his command, barring the
Cubans and Bob Groom. Seven
teen OF his charges were in the
battle. and he was about at the
end OF his resources when the end
came. For a while everything
seemed to be going Boston's way.
They got their hits when they did
the most damage, and aside from
the fourth inning, when the locals
tied the score for the first time.
Bedient was apparently master of
the situation.

Another Home Run.
With the score tied Speaker brought
home two runs. and this lead grew
greater in magnitude as inning after in
ming passed and Bedient refused to as
much as create hope. Pot the home run
ended Hughes career for tue day and
perhaps saved the daE, for luck was not
with him. The veteran Altrock took
his place and for three innings held the
champions in check But il was found
feasible 10 take Nick out u let a pinch
hitter swing. and then Joe Engel was
brought into the game. though there

without any trouble. Not SO with Bedi-

Tits IN eight innings, his chances looked
good indeed, but before he had retired
