ZEB MILAN STEALS HOME
Py WILLIAM PEET.

Splashing along a sloppy field and in a
| drizZle OF rain. the Grinmen snatched
to decision from the New York
Yanks yesterday. prodding the Gotham
ties deeper into the mire Of last place,
and gaining for the home guards a
closer look at the league leaders.
Conditions for ball game could moi
possibly have been worse, yet withal
the fielding was unusually sharp and
clean, while the pitching. considering the
moisture. was uniformity good.
Jim Shaw opposed Marty McHale and
travelled the entire route. McHale's
"spitball" refused to work properly and
with this weapon snatched from him, he
proved rather easy picking.
King Cole. former Chicago Cub star,
made his initial appearance in the Capt.
tai and was prOdded for three runs right
off the reel. Cole rs supposed to have a
lot OF "s'uf' but he must have tucked
1t away somewhere yesterday.
! Shaw registered his second triumph
over the Chance crowd this season and
the big right-hander, although allowing
seven hits, looked mighty impressive. y
Milan steals Home.
Clyde Milan furnished the sensation of
the afternoon. when he made a clean
steal OF home in the seventh inning. TAX
ing advantage of king Coles wind-up.
Every one of the home guard banged
the ball safely with the exception of
Howard Shanks, hut the MONAGHAN added
his little mite when a long fly to Daley
scored a run.
Ollie Chill. the fearless ump. was not
called upon to pass judgment on any
close decisions and outside of a few
protestaticns by the Catchers on alleged
missed strikes. Chill was let severely
alone.
The visitors jumped into the lead in
the second inning, when a run was scored
through the medium of a triple from
the bat of Pete Daley, followed by
Sweeney's single.
The Nationals quickly overcame this
advantage, chucked three markers into
the third frame. and from that time on.
were never headed.
Mcbride opened the third with a single.
Henry walked. Shaw famed. Moeller
crashed to the scoreboard for a triple,
scoring Mcbride and Henry. Foster
banged through the box sending over
Moeller. Milan singled to right, putting
Foster on third. but Wslly Smith struck
out and Hartzell camped under Shanks'
long fly, averting further trouble.
New York added a run in the fifth after
two hands had been retired. Maise!
pulled the trick unaided with a three
base blow to right center. On the relay
Morgan shot the ball past Foster and the
Gotham midget kept right on running un-
til he had crossed the plate.
AS a parting shot the Griffmen kicked
a run out of McHale in the other half
Of the fifth when Shaw singled. Moeller
advanced him with a sacrifice and Wax
looping Wally Smith came along latF
with a smoking drive to left field.
Things Happen to Cole.
King Cole was on the mound when the
Nationals came to bat in the seventh.
and about everything that possibly could
happen TO a pitcher was uncorked in this
spasm.
Moeller drew a walk. Foster and Milan
both singled, filling the bases. Smith
struck out Shanks flied TO Daley, the
out scoring MoelleSe Ray Morgan singled
to left. scoring Foster. George Mcbride
was hit in the back with a pitched ball.
Milan stole home to the utter astonish-
ment of Catcher Sweeney, who dropped
the ball in his haste to turn back the
speedy Tennesseean. Morgan was run
down at the plate, when he and Mcbride
attempted TO pull of a double steal.
With the score to 2 against them, the
visitors added two more in the ninth.

contributed a balk, and was touched for
a single.
