Jameson Has Good Day.

JAMESON Has Good Day
Jameson, the youthful left fielder
of the Indians, contributed in the de-
feat of the Nationals, not only with
q couple Of hits, but by superfine
fielding. He made three wonderful
catches, which cut of extra base
hits. Twice Charity was the vic
tim. and on the other occasion the
sufferer was Sam Rice. Gharrity's
hrst blow was a drive within a
few feet of the left field fence, but
Jameson ran back and took il over
his shoulder. His other two catches
were only a fraction less sensH-
tional But for his splendid work,
there is little doubt that the de-
cfsion would have gone to the Ma
tionals.
In the second affair the Nationals
had a runaway. They greeted Slim
Caldwell with a salyo of hits and
scored tn rec runs in the opening
round. In the second they Knocked
Slim right of the mound. and also
drove Chle to cover. This inning
saw seven hits and brought in nine
runs. After that Erickson took it
easy, but his mates counted three
more on Facth and four off Myers
in the final inning.

drew four bingles apiece, and Judge
had a perfect average at bat with
three hits in as many times up. He

came all the way home when Wamby
tried to turn ROth's fleIder's choice

Errors allowed the tribe to score
two in the third after Jameson had
singled. Chapman beat out a bunt.
Speaker also bunted and was safe
when Zachary made a bad throw to
Harris. In passing first iris hand
slapped Harris in the face, binding
him and Jameson scored before the
ball could be recovered. Gardner

Revenge in the Second.
Sweet revenge was gathered in
the second tilt when the Nationals
induIged in a wild orgy Of hitting
Three runs in the first was merely
I starter. In the second they went
wild and fourteen batters went to
the plate before the side was re-
tired.
As the Nationals raped out hits
the Indians developed a bad case OF
butterfingers and booted the ball
around the lot when they should
have retired the side. This weird
fielding continued during the game.
The four errors charged to the home
team fail to indicate the atrocious-
ness Of their work. They looked
like anything but a pennant con-
tender.
One Of the bright shots of the
game was a beautiful shoestring
catch by Shanks in the seventh
Inning when the Indians had the
bases filled after having already
scored four runs. He picked john
