\ LOOKING lem OVER

known here as Duffy's Clih. named
for the Washington left fielder
Lewis was OF with the crack Of the
wagon tongue against the ball he
raced half way up the terrace and
then continued along II toward center
deld. No other outfielder In the
league can play that terrace with the
sure grace Of Duffy. and he was CIV
Ing peerless exhibition right then.
Just as the drive seemed certain to
fall safe and score Menosky and
leave Pratt on third base. Lewis
gathered 1t in and skipped gayly
down the terrace, tossing the ball
playfully to Sam Rice. That catch.
as remarkable as any Lewis ever
made In the old days when he was q
member of the Red Sox, brought the
fans to their feet. They cheered him
to the echo, and he had to dom cap
more than once on his Wy to tho
bench.
SAM JONES RESPONSIBLE.
As for the game. it was Sam Jones.
ever a thorn in the side of the WASH
ington club. Jones simply paraiyzed
the hitters facing him. Pat Charity
whacked d single to centr In the
third, and was doubled up promptly
by George Mogridge, Joe Judge bang
ed q single to right in the seventh
ly, became the one Washingtonian to
reach second base during the after
noon.
Yes, II was all Sam Jones. He fam
ned four Griffs and walked two. He
had excellent control of q xipping fast
ball and q dazzling hook. Then. too,
behind him he had Everett Scott. who
played q great game In the field In
support of his pitcher. That was q
combination which proved too much
for the Griffs and George Mogridge.
Washington's veteran southpaw
pitcher pitched clever article OF
ball all day. Indeed. had his mates
done any hitting. he might have won
his game. 1t wasn't his fault that his
supporters were helpless before Sam
Jones. That was merely bad luck.
The one run of the game was
chalked up in the second inning.
Stuffy McInnis doubled against the
fence over Lewis head. Shanks grab
bed SCOTS grounder and ran McIn-
mis- down on the line.
Then Muddy RuePs pesky little
roller along the third-base foul line
insisted on staying IN. although Hank
Shanks breathed on II and coaxed 1t
to roll foul. 1t just wouldn't that's
all. and so there were two on and one
down when Jones hit q hot one down
the line outside of Shanks and over
came McInnis. Witt sacrificed and II
looked like more scoring, but Menos-
ky lined into Harris hands and the.
scoring for the entire game was
ended.
The GYiffs never had q chance to
score. though they did get runners
on nrst four times and one as far as
second. Harris walked in the second
only to be doubled UP by Shanks.
Charity singled In the third and
was doubled up by Mogridge. Shanks
walked In the NTH and died stealing.
Joe Judge singled In the seventh and
went up ON MiIan's sacrifice. but he
wa: left stranded out there in mid
Frank Brewer. up for Mogridse in
tho ninth. rolled to Jones. but that
was better than Charity or Judge
could do, both Of them whiting. as
J ones appeared to gain in power as
the game progressed. Coming down
to cases, Jones was entitled to his
second successive victory over the
Grifrs, and George Mcgridge pitching
cleverly, was merely unlucky In
drawing Jones a. an opponent IN his
frst game in a Washington uniform.
NEW UMPIRE 10 WITNESSED.
After q light rain In the morning,
the sun came out and made 4 pleas
ant afternoon Of It after all. And
even then the crowd of the older days
stayed away.
Frank Wilson, Ban Johnson's new
est umpire. worked behind the bat.
He's a little chap. about the size OF
but seems to know what
he Is doing.
Stuffy McInnis. still on the outs
with Harry H. Frazee. got the glad
hand from the fans, and proceeded to
play q pretty game all afternoon.
Hughey Duffy Is popular here hav-
ing been a National League star years
ago with Boston. but there Is gen.
eral belief that Harry Hooper should
have been at least offered the leader
ship Of the Red Sox. On this account
the American League Is running
second to the National here.
With thirteen boxing clubs In
action, there Is more night lately than
