Ianders in Sunday Battle.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 16.-Before
Joe Boehling ordered his breakfast from
one Of Booker T. Washington's favorite
pupils and slapped the matutinal egg a
crack on the chest, he should have Of
fered up a little vote Of thanks to
Messrs. Mcbride, Gandil, and Henry, for
their pefarious work here in our midst
on the pinch Sunday occasion that we
observed some $4,000 of our first and
last families saw the Nationals kick the
everlasting splinters out Of three twirl-
ers and a part Of a fourth, while Mr..
Boehling was yanked from falling over
the precipice by the aforesaid trio. d.
Lest we forget, 1t might be stated that
the fans were disappointed. After read
ing the tales that came from Sleepy
Hollow during the past three days, our
fans and fanettes were prepared to mas
ticate Griffith's au gratin. When the
Nationals showed our three and one-half
pitchers the blistering boot. the $4,000
odd rubbed their eyes, wiped their necks,
slipped through their collars and col
lected their wits.
However, let US to the master efforts
of thre three guardsmen. John Henry was
certainly-"my 10" for Joe Boehling
He slammed the leather about the field
with an abandon that was merciless,
and note a whit behind him was that
scion of slug. Chickering Gandil Both
chisled three hits a piece. and 1t was
this offensive work that riddled Kahler.
Cullop, and Blanding-the three pitch
ers-and Dave Gregg. our hurling resi-
due.
One lugubrious inning-for Napland-
settled the hash Of the hurlers and the
fate of the game. II was the seventh
cIept about this neck of the forest as
the lucky seventh like Patrick Henry.
If this be the lucky seventh there are
1900 bugs and bugines praying for
death around here.
And such a seventh it was. Kahler,
who has been tabled the Big Moose
was moving along as swell as moon
light ride with the bestest skirt and
for six innings he had the washington
coterie dining from his digits: Then
came the seventh. 1t was nightmare
for Cleveland and a symphony OF swats
for Griffith. 1t started propitious. we
wot that. John Henry combed blus-
tering single that Turner couldn't find.
Joe Boehling. plain and unassuming'
spilled the beans right here.
Kahler lobbed up one of his spongiest
shoots. Joseph Just laid his mighty
weight against the ball, there was
splintery shock, and one oeheld
double gamboling to the right field null
titude.
MoeIler kept the merry jig jigging.
He steamed one that passed through
Kahler's props, evaded Larrys clutcn
and saun,--Sd to center. henry. OF
course, scored, while Boehling moved
to third. You couldn't lose Ray morgan
for his part the shower OF hits that the
Nationals emptied. Moellers slam was
the signal for Kahler's exit, and one
Nick Cullop was called to the mound.
Nick labors under the disadvantage
of a happy smile, the reputation Oh pc
ing appraised at $1,000 and curve that
looks like Gaby Deslys wrapped into lin

as we were TO remark, into LETT and
Boehling romped home. This was the
second button counted on the wire.
This fusiIIade palpably made the snil-
ing Mr.. cuilep Q trtfie ,perturbed He
thought that the plate was movable. and
in his distress couldn't locate 1t for
Milan, Clyde walked. Gandil hoisted
a fiy, with sacrincial tendencies and this
scored Moeller. There were raucous
cries of .sTK'H'm OUT blended with
the familiar -Gitapitcha. but Birmy
kept Nicholas working away IN the
sweltering heat.s Laporte was the next
chap. He met one squarely on the seam.
