In his effective manner.
But In the seventh 1t really looked as

Foster had started this inning with a
hit, and after Milan had flied out Gan
Dill got Johnson in a predicament, and
it was thought advisable to walk him.
Which was done. Then johnson got back
to work and disposed Of Morgan and
Shanks without much trouble That was
really the only time during the game
that the youngster was threatened
though Foster also started the ninth
with a double. but was left on second
while the next three batters were retired
on infield plays.
1t was in the seventh that the Sox
scored off Walter Johnson. Speaker
started this inning by getting single,
which bound through the box and could
not be reached by the tielders. Lewis
flied out and Janvrin was famed. Yerkes
then popped little, weak fly to short
left. Shanks set sail for it, reached it
while on a hard ru,l and the ball fell
from his hands as he tried to catch it
near his shoe tops. There being two out
at the time, Speaker, of course, had
never stopped running from the time the
ball was hit and he scored easily.
More bad luck came for Johnson in the
eighth Cady started matters with
clean SINGLE and Rankin Johnson, in
trying to sacrifice. popped up a little fly
close to the right field foul line. and not
more than fifteen feet from the plate.
Gandil tried to reach it. but could not,
and Rankin was safe. Then Ainsmith
tried to catch Cady mapping off sec
ond. but his throw was wide. and the
two runners advanced. Hooper followed
with a single, which allowed Cady to
score. but Johnson was held at third.
He tried to score on Engels tap to Nor
gan, but vas thrown out at the plate.
Speaker. flied to Milan, and it looked
very much as If the one run would end
the visitors rally when Lewis lifted a
long fly to center. Milan had hard
time keeping up with the flying sphere.
and 1t finally evaded him enough to pre-
vent him making a catch. The two
runners. of course. came home, for
again there were two out and both were
running when the bali was hit.
The final score in the ninth came as 4

and a hit by johnson. The score:

1t remained for a nameSake to outpitch
Walter johnson. Rankin Johnson is his
name and he is q young member of the
Red Sox pitching staff. He was unknown
when he made his appearance on the
slab yesterday, but before the game was
over he had i whole lot OF folks inquir-
ing about him.
A more artistic exhibition of pitching
than Rankin displayed has not been seen
on the local grounds in some time. The
young man not only had the satisfaction
of winning from his famous namesake,
but he did it in a most decisive manner.
allowing the Nationals nothing that re-
sembled a run, while his teammates gath
cred a cluster Of five.
When the batteries were announced,
Just prior to the game. many got the i'm
preston that Manager Carrigan had de-
cided to pitch some recruit named john
son as it was foolish to waste one of his
good pitchers against Walter johnson.
How could any one expect green hand
TO pitch winning game against Walter,
and on opening Gay 1t that. 1t really
looked as IL the crowd was destined to
witness the slaughter Of an innocent.
But pitching ability seems to be born

the rule.
Rankin started out like q whirlwind.
as so many youngsters do. and the
crowd felt satisfied that it was only q
question of time when his undoing would
be recorded. But inning after inning
went by without Rankin showing the
slightest signs of weakening. and sud-
denly it dawned that the Nationals were
up against pitching which came nearer
TO being invincible than anything they
had faced III some days
Only once OF twice was there j chance
for them TO score. ana OH such occasions
the youngster was at his best In fact,
there were only two members of the Ma
tional team who seemed not to be bas-
fled by his delivery. Foster and Ainsmith.

hand. But luck soon began to break
against him when the visitors developed
a habit of placing the ball through vari-
Gus openings. where the felders could
not reach them. So it was that the Sox
gathered five large runs. which, Of course
were many more than Rankin johnson
needed to get the decision.
There is little to tell of what the Ma
tionals accomplished in an offensive way.

Manager Griffith contemplates a change
in the Nationals outfield The fact that
Dan Moeller is not getting into his bat
TO the team and Griffith is anxious to
have some one in right field who will do
some hitting. He is not yet satisfied
however. that Moeller will not get to
going in due time, hence has decided to
come. in tie hope that he will get into his
stride. Moel1er has some splendid quail
itics aside from his hitting ability He is
a fast man, good fielder and thrower
and gets on the bases very frequently.
If he improves he will continue to play,
but in the meantime Griffith is preparing
both Acosta and Paul Smith with a view
of having one or the other ready in the
Moeller rest.
Either of these young outfielders stands
a chance to make good. Smith is one of
the fastest men on the team and shows
ability at the bat. AS for Acosta, 1T is
only a question of time when he Will be
a great ball player.
1t is; hoped that Moeller will show bet
ter form, for when he Is going as he
should he is one of the most valuable
players on the local team.
Griffith will not decide which one of
his pitchers he will use this afternoon
until a few minutes before the game
is called. He will have Engel. Ayers
and shaw warm up and make his Sc,

the Red Sox. His performance against
them in Boston last week was of the

This was largely confined to batting
practice, of which the players appear

While it is true that Walter Johnson
was hit unusually hard by the Red Sox,
the visitors also had all the luck against
him. OF the ten hits charged against
Walter at least four were rank scratches.
For some unaccountable reason he was
not in his usual brilliant form.
Having had four days rest, it was ex-
