Clvde's good health and regular
habits are exasperating. II he had
orlv taken the afternoon off Caldwell
would have pitched a no-hit game.
OF the two hits made by Milan only
me was above reproach. The first
which came in the fourth inning. was
nothing but little boUnder above the
head Of Caldwell. The pitcher stretched
Tor II. but il wriggled out Of his hand
possiblv somebody or other might
have started a movement 70 test the
VALIDITY Of that particular hit. but for
the fact that in the ninth OIyde
Sracked a clean smash to right
Caldwell passed three men and three
CO, 10 base on errors. His only really
troublesome inning was the nlnth'
when an error. single and pass put
three men on base with two out. Nor
gan ended II all with a foul TO Swee-
ney ,,r
Like the conspirators who stabbed j..
Cesar. almost all the Yankees insisted
upon taking a poke at Johnson. but
Hsrtzeu hacked the hardest. He hit
safely three times. Peckinpaugh fur
rished the surprise of the afternoon
by driving home three of the four runs
scored by New York.
Washington, which is the place
where the diplomats live, may do its
best 10 suppress the news Of what
happened to Johnson, but such an at
tempt is hardly likely to succeed. as
there was O good deal of publicity
connected with the affair Of yesterday.
Some eighteen thousand roOters saw
the game, and everybody agreed that
it was the best show Of the year.
Besides handsome hero and q
happy ending there was lot of comic
relief. Nick Altrock attended TO that,
and he made every one except Clark
Griffith laugh. Clark is the manager Of
the Washington team and he deserves
10 be excused for not laughing. He
sees Nick's antics every day, while it
is only very rarely that he has an op-
portunity TO watch Walter Johnson
lose.
JOhnson's catcher was a man whose
name appears on the Washington po-
Ice court records as Edward Ainsmith.
IN spite Of the fact that every one
knows he punched a motorman he
seems 70 be still at large. However, he
stayed we'll within the law yesterday.
Il Is understood that Clark Griffith is
treating him with the methods of
thomas Mott Osborne, and hopes to eff
feet a cure by often allowing Edward
70 get out into the open to play base
ball. One rOoter seemed to notice a
reformation already. When the catcher
struck out in the fifth it was this fan
who shouted "Hey, Ainsmith. you don't
hit anything but motormen, do ycs ?"
The Yankees were much different.
They hit almost everything, and they
wasted no time in starting. Hartzell
singled in the first inning, but went out
stealing The second was passive, but
IN the third Donovan's men threatened
the plate. Boone began with a hit
through Foster, and took second on
Sweeney's sacrifice. Caldwell drove a
clean hit to left, and Boone, rounding
third, tore for the plate. Rondeau sped
the ball in the same direction, and
Boone was overhauled and put out.
In the fourth runs were scored:
With one out. Cree drove the ball
against the right field wall for a single,
Walter Pipp put the sphere just out
Of the reach Of Morgan, and Cree went
70 second Cook raised a fly for
Rondeau, but Peckinpaugh shot a
drive TO centre Milan threw 10 the
plate beautifully TO head off Cree. j
was close play and in the mix-up
Ainsmith dropped the ball. Better than
that, the ball rolled away from him and
when Pipp dashed for the plate Ain,
smith made poor toss to Johnson and
permitted the big first baseman to
score
After a lull Of one inning the Yam
KEGS went at il again in the sixth:
Hsrtzell singled clearly TO centre and
after Cree had flied out Pipp doubled
down the first base line. Cree reached
third. Cook hit TO Morgan, who threw
late and wildly as well to the plate,
and Cree scored. Pecks single to right
scored Pipp.
Even the day was fine.
