form, striking out nine and keeping
Plainfield's seven hits well scattered
The Nationals had good day in the
field except for the eighth inning. when
| two errors assisted Plainfeld in max
ing three Of their runs. Silver had III
strikeouts to his credit, but was
touched up for the 10 hits, the Ma

things in the first with three runs on a
base on balls, two errors and single
by Hall, and made four more in the
second on a fielder's choice, hits by Ira
Gross and Shepard, and two errors. In
the third inning Shepard scored when

the fourth and fifth, but two more
runs came in in the sixth on Leddens

in four times at bat, one of the hits
being triple. The Nationals executed
one double play, Ira Gross to Pecue to
Hudson, in the first. Anson Barber was
fast on the bases, stealing second three
times. Brown stole in the ninth and
carried away the second sack, bringing
it back in his hands to the regular po-
sition.
The game was about three quarters
of an hour late in starting, owing to
the fact that the Plainfield players
came in several cars. In spite of threat
ening weather there was a fair at H
tendance. The wire netting on the first
base stand proved its usefulness sew
eral times when it stopped wild heaves
In practice. "Dick" Cullen started as
umpire on strikes and balls. BE went

a Plainfeld man taking strikes and
balls, and they changed again near the
end of the game.
G. Hudson of the Plainfeld team is
not a brother of Henry Hudson Of
the Nationals The lstter's brother
was expected to play, but could not
make the trip.
Forgue was a new man in the Ma.
tionals' lineup in right field. Henry
Hudson put up an excellent game at
irst, making ten plftouts and one as
'ist beside scoring a run. One of his
,utouts was made on a low drive by
Byron which put one Of Hudsons fin
yers out of commission. Pecue. at sec
md. covered his territory well, with
