high throw error by Fritz Ma!sel
in the thrteentR inning OF the ball game
al the Polo Grounds yesterday set the
door ajar for the Washingtons, and before
they ceased advancing three men came
through the portal. These three tallles
added to what they had made four. and
they beat the New Works In a long
pitchers combat by score of 20 l.
Malsel's error was made on the frs,
man up, and II Is very doubtful II the
Washingtons woult have scored II he
had thrown his man out az he had plenty
OF time TO DO fielder's choice and a
force followed, which might have been so
handled as to prevent scoring had Malsel
disposed of the lead on batter
Carroll Browns pitching was so meri-
torious that he was entitled 10 divide
honors with Walter johnson. and John
sons was so good that II scarcely could
have been better. The New Works had
only the thinnest OF chances 10 score a
second time OF Johnson. therefore an In
finitesimal chance to win the game but
they had an even chance TO get q draw
with Brown holding his own with the
Scandinavian star as he was doing.
Tho rival hillmen carried their erfec-
tiveness pretty evenly over the long stretch
OF thirteen periods. but wherein Johnson
was more valuable to his team than
Brownie was in his versatility. Big
Walter was the most effective batter on
his side. He made two timely singles.
two-fitths of the Washington output made
two runs. and without his hitting his team
would have lost. Not only was 1t one
OF the best games he ever pitched In New
York--it had 10 be to offset Browns work
but it was still more Johnson victory
because OF what the pitcher did to re-
cruit az well az 10 repel runs
Maisel's mspay was the only damag-
ing one. and the fielding ran TO the spry
and dashing sort. Dock Cook was in
