ed by local fandom.
Because of not being able to stage
the second game of the twin bill yes
terday the Old Fox has ordered q
double attraction for today. The rain
which fell during the past two days
warranted Umpire Hilderbrand's ac-
ton in calling of the second game
yesterday. Walter johnson is slated
to work in the opening game for the
Nationals today, while Doc Ayers will
do the mound work in the nightcap
Connie Mack is up against it for
pitchers. His selection will no doubt
be made from a trio Of youngsters,
either Adams. Shea or Watson draw
ing the duties. Scot Perry may enter
the second fray II the Nationals get
away with the honors in the opening
battle.
Foxy Grifr pulled a bone in the
eighth inning after the Nationals had
tied up the count. With Lavan on
third and johnson at second, Ain
smith crashed to center field. Lavan
had easy romping to the plate. Wal
ter came up from the midway sta
ton and turned the far corner. He
slipped in getting his footing at this
corner and attempted to turn back
10 third, hut the Old Fox stepped T."
and showed him toward home. Wal
ter made the plate easily, but Capt.
Larry Gardner put in a protest for
Grin touching Johnson and Owens i'm
mediately ruled him out
clyde MiIan's fielding was Of the
sensational order. In the seventh in
ming he saved Frank Hansen by
racing back to the bleecher In center
field and pulling down George Burns
clout while on the run. Again In the
ninth inning he rushed in on Jamie
sons short fly for the final put out.
Jake Munich, the Atlanta Club cap
tain, who is It present an under
study for George Burns. made his
first appearance in the lineup here
today when he batted for Dugan IN
the ninth inning. Munich forced DR..
Johnny Lavan to pull one of the
prettiest plays Of the day when he hit
i slow grounder his way in the ninth.
Johnny gathered in the pill on q run.
and by a quick underhand throw.
nipped Jake at Judges station by a
step.
Morgan obtained the only extra
base hit of the fray, although many
OF the balls were hit hard enough for
doubles and triples. Morgan's double
rolled outside Of the foul line in left
! field. giving Ray time enough to
reach the midway bag before the re-
turn could be made.
