won a hammer and tongs bout.
Howard Shanks, the talented left
fielder of the Nationals, ragged his way
through the game, playing havoc. With
a home run he batted in one run, with "A
single he drove the tying run over the
portal. and with IL two Dagger he opened
the gate to another run. In the second
inning he made fine running catch.
With these achievements he was not con-

In the game were hard hitting, scoring
in patches, crude fielding sharp fielding
and touch and 80 situations. Boehling
was driven from the box early and
Fisher had a bad day. Besides insecure
pitching errors counted extensively in the
scoring. The New Yorks CLEANED three
runs in the first inning on hits by Maisel
Cook and Walsh and Moellcr's error on a
hit.
The Washingtons went to the front In
the second Shanks doubled, Mcbride
singled and Henry doubled. Shanks's
double was m!sjudged and otherwise
