Nationals Take First Game of
Series, 2 to 0-Moeller
Also Plays Against Us.
By WILLIAM PEET.

Walter johnson held the Cleveland In
dians TO three scattered hits, only 90 men
facing him, and Washington won the
opening game of the series here yester-
day, to o.
Opposed TO johnson was our old friend
and former toIler. Joe Boehling, who
gave a creditable exhibition. Southpaw
Joe allowed seven hits but five OF these
were punched in two innings and the
home folks made the most of opportuni-
ties presented.
Three old Washington players appeared
IN Cleveland livery, Joe Boehling, Chick
Gandil and Danny Moeller. The last
named held down second base on account
OF a slight injury to Wambsganns.
Besides pitching good ball. Boehling
came across with one OF the three hits
credited the Indians-a smoking line
drive to the score board in the third in
ming after two had gone.
The game was played in the remarka-
bly, short period of one hour and twenty
nine minutes, principally because the
Indians were taking a wallop at the first
ball pitched and invariably hitting 1t
into the dirt Eddie Foster had ten as
sists and Joe Judge fourteen put-outs.
Clyde Milan came across with two hits
and as many stolen bases. His single
and steal in the first inning after two
had gone. another safe hit and stolen
base in the fourth, was the nearest the
Nationals came to scoring until the first
tally splashed over in the fifth.
Judge opened the fifth with a safe
swat to right, going to second on Nc
Brides sacrifice. A short passed ball pu.
Judge on the far corner and he scored i
minute later on Henrys single to center.
The Nationals added another run in the
sixth. Smith singled to center after MI
Ian had been retired, and when Shanks, in
response to the hit-and-run signaI,
jammed the ball past Chapman, Smith
pulled up at third. Smith and ShankS
then success fully ,hgineered the double
ssC3I,. Smith SEQ ing. Judge ended the
inning by hitti into a double play.
Boching retired the Nationals as fast
as They c..!ne to bat during tire two re-
manning chapters.

closed. They are nineteen in num-
Der. and include two fixtures, both of
which are handicaps for the timber
toppers. For 3-year-olds and up

been provided. at various distances,
while there are two hsndicaps exclu-
sively for three-year- r-olds. For
Juveniles there are four closed events.
ranging In distance from FIVE and a
half furlongs to mile. while sched-
uled for all ages are five fixtures,
from six furlongs up to a mile
The response by horsemen to these
hxtures has been greater than in any
season since the present management
has been in charge. due, in a great
measure to equitable conditions and
liberality in the monetary offerings.
Each and every feature is of the
added money sort, ranging from $1,000
TO S2,5oO-plus all subscription and
starting fees. which. to a horseman's
idea of things material, is an improve
ment over the guaranteed brand of
