ball Henry signaled for pitch-out
and then made a poor throw to second.
the result being that Lewis, who was
on that bag. went to third Then john
son wound up and shot one of his fast

but the ball got through Henry's glove
and rolled to the stand, Lewis having

run.
| 1t was an interesting. hard-fought
game of ball, which the Nationals
might have won but for Henry's slips
in the final round. Had he not made
not have scored on the passed ball.
Walter johnson was faster than he has
been for some time and he would have
held the check on the Red SoX beyond
question, for Barry was struck out FOR
| the second out and Cady would not
have proved difficult, while the chances
were that Shore would not have gotten
away much longer.
But there is no use to cry over spilled

the fourth, being replaced by Ayers
The Doc did we'll until the ninth, when,
after striking out Gainor, Lewis and
Gardner hit safely. Again Mcbride
made a change, putting Johnson in to
save the day and taking chance on an
extra inning game, but, OF course, TINS
did not come to pass, for Henry spilled
the beans. Neither side did much hit

the first eight innings. The game
started by Moeler beating out bunt

run play, putting single to left which
would have been a double play had not
Scott gone over to cover when Moelier
started for that bag. Milan hit sharp
grounder to Gainor. who took hop,
step and jump with joy, and touched
the bag, in the meantime Moeller run

when Boehling was taken out, this hap
pened after Scott had been retired:
! Speaker laid a bunt down the third
base line and beat it easily. Gamer
came through with a hit sending
Speaker to third. A double steal was
attempted, but McBride's return to the
plate had Speaker beaten fully three
