but when that club refused to pay him
more money than he was to have drawn
from Washington he refused to sign,
and went to his home. He has not been
heard from since.
Grover Land. who on three different
occasions has been brought to the
Maps from Portland, has been returned
to major league caliber, and he has no
doubt had his last chance in the big
leagues.
Ever since Joe Engel made his last
appearance on the rubber he has been
in Manager Griffith's personal charge
on the ball field Griffith has instructed
him for an hour or so before every
game. and the effects OF this tuition
| were plainly visible yesterday. Engel
looked more formidable than he ever
has before, and Griffith is convinced
| that he will be a winner after this. He
| Is to be given a chance here in st.
Louis. and Griffith wants to wager
cigars that he proves winner. Engel
allowed but one hit in the game yestef-
| day, and Jackson made that. He had
ball was unhitable. He came very near
putting Jackson out of business when
he sent his fastest ball right at the
Maps sluggers head. He dropped to
the ground and did not display any de-
sire to stand near the plate thereafter.
In Cleveland they started the story
that Boehling's winning streak was the
result Of luck, that he had nothing and
was just lucky to get away. There will
probably be change of opinion on
that point, since Boehling pitched that
ninth inning yesterday. in which he
struck out two of the three men who
faced him.
Whether Boehling will be given credit
for yesterdays victory is doubtful. He
| went into the game with one run TO the
good, and that lead was obtained
during the time that Engel was pitch
ing.
After the two runs had been scored in
the ninth Schaefer was sent up to bat
for Engel, thus putting him out Of the
game.
Three hits. two of which We're legiti-
and Engel, the former being charged
with two. Boehling escaped without all
| lowing hit. showing plainly that good
| cation like the Maps.
Falkenberg started as if he intended
| to continue his winning streak, striking
out Moeller, Foster and Gandl in the
| first inning. Milan was given a life
when Johnston made a mess of his
| grounder. Both sides scored in the sec
| walked and he scored all the way from
| first base when Henry hit into left for
| two bases.
| This lead was short lived, however for
a wild pitch by Groom allowed the
Maps to tie it up in their half. Jackson
was walked to begin with, and while he
was stealing second, Groom uncorked d
+, wild pitch which let him go all the way
| to third. He scored on Lajoies out at
| first. and then Groom disposed of the
next two batters. Matters were on even
| terms until the fourth, when the Maps
took the lead.
Groom started trouble for himself
when he walked Chapman. Turner sac
rificed him to second. and Jackson got
| a scratch hit over Groom's head, which
sent Chapman to third. Then came
Lajoie's grounder to Morgan, which the
latter allowed to get away, and Chap
| man scored, while Jackson went to
| third and l.ajoie to second. Ryan was
out on tap in front of the plate. and
then Graney and Carisch were walked,
| forcing In run. Falkenberg ended
the round when he hunted to Groom,
and Lajoie was forced at the plate.
! The fifth brought the Nationals an
| other run, on Ainsmith's hit, a sacrt-
| flee. a put-out and a clean hit by La
| porte. There was nothing further do
| ing until the ninth. when the game was
| won. Morgan. the first man up, reached
| first when Turner fumbled his grounder.
Shanks famed trying to sacrifice. and
| then Mcbride came through with a
three-bagger that scored Shanks and
