But Mats Big Rally Wins

Victory; Johnson in '13 Form in Second
And Wins Easily.

BOSTON. July s.-The Nationals
made another cleanup of a double
header with the Red sox this after
noon. winning the first game after
1t had seemed lost. by a score of
to 5. and the second by 4 to 1.
Incidentally, II was the fourth
double header the Boston club has
lost in the last four playing days,
and they will have a chance to lose
another one tomorrow. when the two
clubs come together for their final
meeting before starting on the
Western trip.
Haying won with southpaws yes
terday. Mcbride came back with an
other in the curtain raiser this aft
ernoon. but Mogridge was not there,
and after working one inning, dur
ing which the Red Sox scored four
runs on five hits and an error by
himself, he made way for Miller to
bat for him in the second inning,
and this Miller person made good
again in the pinch.
sehacht Gets Credit.
Schaeht then took up the burden
with the score TO against him,
but he too made way for A. johnson
to bat for him in the seventh, but
when the game finally came to Shaw
the Nationals were in the lead,
to S, SO Schacht Is entitled to the
credit for the win
The Red Sox made only two hits
against Shaw in the three innings
he pitched. Pennock. VINO was on
the mound for the home club, had
two bad innings, in each Of which
four hits were punched against him,
mostly by the tail end of the batting
order, which includes Miller. who
was kept in the game after his
double in the second, being played
in right field in place of Smith.
waiter Johnson and Elmer Myers
were stacked against each other on
the mound in the second game. and
except for giving more passes than
he used to, the veteran seemed to
be just about as good as ever, and
would have had a shutout. but for
a couple of foozles by ORourke,
which gave the Red Sox their only
run
Myers was the only Boston player
VINO COulu . 49,
he nicked him for two singles and
a double. Walter returned the COM
pliment. however, by getting a
couple Of singles himself, scoring
one run himself and driving in an
other.
6Rourke played a fine fielding
game and continued his timely stici
work.
Shanks and Rice did some CLASSY
work in the outfield, and Smith b!
a fine throw nipped a runner a
the plate.
Derrin Pratt sprained his ankl'
yesterday and will probably be ou
Of the game for a week, and so thu
chances of the Nationals cleaning
up the series of three double
headers are better than $3.50. -
