Charlottesville, Va, March 1+-Ten in
nings to a tie, l to l, quitting only because
there were no more pitchers available,
was the score OF the first Washington
interteam game here this afternoon.
The regulars figured they ought to have
won in the sixth inning, when a pair of
doubles and a legitimate home-run smash
should have but did not yield marker.
Those Yannigans, with RIppy Williams
on first base, put up the stIffest kind of a
fight, and are very Chesty tonight pre-
dieting what will happen in future COM
bats
Both sides played errorless ball The
regulars gathered eight safe hits off Git
tings, Rice and Sloan. while the Yanni-
Eans touched up DumOnt, Boehling and
Ayers for seven. The pitchers, with the
exception Of Sloan and Ayers, worked
three innings each, the last named tohng
one more round.
Make Double Plays.
Not only was the fielding remarkably
Clean-Cut, but the game consumed little
more than one hour. The regulars pulled
off two snappy double plays; the Yanni-
Eans one.
Joe Judge was the clouting demon, with
& triple. two singles and base on balls
out Of four times up. The Milan broth
ers, specializing in three-base wallOps,
were directly responsible for both the
runs
With Sam Cuttings on the mound for
the Tannigans. the regulars grabbed
a run in the first inning. Clyde Milan
jammed a triple between Jameson and
MOeller. Foster popped to Charity,

Lose Opportunity.
The regulars lost golden oppor-
tunlty to put the game on ice when
Milan, facing Sam Rice in the sixth
inning. opened with a single to cen

run. but Rice Outguessed Eddie,

and again Rice pitched high. Foster

Judge crashed over MoeIler's head,
the ball rolling to the cinder path
This wallOp looked good for a home run,
but the relay from Moeller to Schwab

by inches only.
'iriff would have kept on playing
until a decision had been reached but
for the fact that he had sent all Of
his extra pitchers to the showers and
feared to work Ayers and Sloan more
than four innings.
Heavy rain last night left Lambeth
fnlH
morning. and Grif decided that he
would hold but one practice ordering his
youngsters out at 1870 o'clock
Everybody is IN such grand shape for
this time Of the year that I feared to
take chances. The ground being heavy
always proves injurious to leg muscles
while wet feet often breed colds or the
grippe. that's why kept my men off the
field this morning" said the Old Fox
Following the ten-inning ball game Grin
put his players through a stifr fielding
drill for half an hour or so.
Indications for tomorrow point to clear
weather and it is hoped that the Ma
tiOnals can play an intercIub game in
the morning, also tackle the University
Of Virginia in the afternoon. Griff was
undecided tonight just who he would
pitch against the collegians, but Coach
Ryan, of the Orange and Blue, announced
that he would work Hager, Rixey and
Mccall using the same batting order in
vogue last Saturday
Carl Sawyer, the infielder, who is trying
to grab himself a regular job with the
Griffmen Is being taught to change his
style Of batting.
Grif SAYS he believes Sawyer can be
taught to hit. because the youngster is
fearless at the plate and possesses a
good eve. I'm going to have Sawyer
try shorter bat. then have him choke
a longer stick, to see if he cannot do
better, vouchsafed the Nationals
boss.
The catching Of Ed Charity was a rev.
