OVERTIME CONTEST
WON BY GR|FFMEN
Clyde Milan Scores Run in
Tenth Inning Which Beats
Cleveland, 5 to d.
SIX PITCHERS ARE USED
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

Fohl's Indians can lick the
stufing out of the Grifmen in
Cleveland, as their six victories
in eight starts there this season
attest, but doing it here is some
thing else again. They tried it
yesterday for the sixth time this
week and failed, as they did on
three other occasions.
1t was as hectic an encounter
as has been witnessed in the local
Enclosure in many a moon, and
when Milan registered the tally
that gave Washington 5-4
victory in the tenth inning the
3,OOO-odd fans left the park, after
two hours and thirty-eight min
utes of pastiming, satisfied they
had received quantity as well as
quality in their half-holiday base
ball dish.
When Milan came to bat in the tenth.
with the score tied at 4 all, he faced
Klepfer, who had famed Gallia and
Judge with much gusto. and caused
Foster to lift an easy fly the inning be-
fore, when he was injected into the
fray because his predecessor had made
way for a pinch hitter. Zeb had his
eye peeled for the main chance and
worked Klepfer for a pass. Rice's neat
bunt placed him on second and Shanks'
infield death permitted his acquisition
of third. 1t was up to Leonard. Joe
sent the ball back at Klepfer fast
the pitcher could not get his hand down
for 1t. 1t caromed off his leg directly
into the hands of Evans. whose throw
beat Leonard to first. Harris failed to
hold the toss, however, and Milan reg
istered with the counter that ended the
fray

Foil Uses Sixteen Men.

Fohl used sixteen athletes, including
three pitchers and as many pinch hit
tiers, in an effort to annex the victory
that would give him an even break In
the series, and twelve of the Grihmen
took a hand. making the total list OF
participants twenty eight.
1t was great day for left-handers-
hitters, not pitchers-all of the wallops
recorded by Washington performers

side, Sam Rice leading the artillery at
tack with a double and three singles in
four attempts. Judge and Milan each
collected a pair of blows and Menosky
contributed one Three OF the visitors
nine wallops were made by southpaw
Graney, the latter being a terrific wal
lop in the ninth, that struck the right
field wall and scored De Berry, who had
doubled, with the run that necessitated
overtime.
Foster was lucky to reach Chapman's
smash with one hand in the opening
round, but was officially charged with
an error and he reached second when
head him off on Speakers tap. With
Roth up Chapman sneaked to third
while Henry was arguing over a strike
with Umpire Hildebrand. Johns throw
dropped the ball. Roth then lifted a
fly to Rice that scored Chapman with

Judges Texas Lacquer to center,

infield hit enabled the Griffmen to tie
1t up in their half and they took the
lead in the next round by scoring with
out the aid of hit on a pass to Shanks

third and Menosky's slow roller to
Harris.
The enemy again hoped into the
lead in the third. two walks and a brace
of doubles giving the tribe a couple of
runs and sounding the death knel1 of
Ayers. A neat relay to Henry by
Shanks of Rice's throw prevented a
third run that round.
