Kahler wabbled to a two-run tune in
the sixth, and then in the seventh the
Nationals opened their hickoried JAM
boree. They fell upon Kahler and
pounded him into ruins and subsection
The Moose was picked up from the hill
and Nicodemus Cullop sent In as a relief
stabber. Nick's release came when Birmy
sent In a pinch hitter for him, as he was
accorded a welcome hotter than the cop

banished Nick, and he lasted long enough
for Birmy to annoy the box score with
several additional pinchmen of varied &C.

The rotund Boehling was in hot water
after the sixth. Prior to that time he
had wiggled along admirably and ably,
but in the seventh he began to show
signs of wanderlust. His optics refused
to focus the plate, and his walks loomed
dangerous to old fox Griff. Joseph man
aged to escape the hook in this notch,
however, and then in the eighth he tried
to take the game by the slack OF
breeches and throw it into the heap.
Griff derricked the southpaw and shot
in the lanky Tomasso Hughes to save
the day. II was Toms day for life
saving and he did il, holding the Nap
men in the hollow of his pliable fists.
Thirteen BfngIcs.
Washington pummeled the allies as
sortment of twirlers that the Maps rung
into the fracas for thirteen solid safe
and smashing singles. Five of these
coming in rotation in the seventh tossed
the combat into the consomme for CIeve-
land. while it salted away the game for
the lads from the National Capital.

ond started the fireworks when King
Larry was toying with the club. The
Gaul man handled high one that looked
like a fence buster. Danny, however,
backed with the ball and nearly picked
il from the fence.
Olson smothered the rally in the sixth
by a catch with his garbed fin that was
a beauty. The Nationals had just started
TO feel Mr.. Kahler out, and the Swede's
effort put the gas to a cloutfest. Shanks
had doubled, and then Mcbride spun a
torrid sheet straight on the line for left.
1t was a sure double IL not apprehended.
Olson turned like a top, and just stuck
his attired mitt in the path of the ball,
the sphere stuck. and the National at
tack subsided.
Ole also robbed GandiI of a hit by a
rattling stop and throw in the fourth.

a hit from Moeller by spraddling across
around the ball. George Mcbride yanked
Boehling out of trouble in the seventh

bag.
Naplnnders Score.
Cleveland started the scoring in the i
second. With two down, Graney SIAM

through perfectly with blazing double |

the pill doing a hop just as it reached |
the waiting fielder. Graney. with a full |
head of steam on tap, easily scored.

the trail via a pass. Henry tapped a

to Johnston. whose throw to Turner
forced Henry. Mcbride hustled to third
