wicked bounder close TO second and

| In the third stanza Gleason leaped

fast bounder for an out at first and
!. there was man on second at the
time. In the fifth Schang drove 4
| speedy bounder right through La
| Motto. but Peck was back of HIM
and got the batter at first by a long
and accurate throw. In the same

saved two runs in the seventh when

| From this il can be seen that 10
| takes more than good FIELDING to win
J ball games and the Grifs failed to
show enough on the offensive TO be
compared with that of the smuggling
! Yankees.
| Both sides went hitless and runless

of course. Pitcher Joe ambled home
with the second and final run of the,
game for the Griffmen.
With one down in the fourth, Peck
slashed d single into left, but La.
motte and Charity were easy outs
at first. The knock -of whistle then
blew, and the Griffs were through
with their offensive work for the
| day.
, Wits waliop Ties Ii.
The Yankees made two singles IL,
| succession in the fourth round. with
lao one out, but failed 10 score through
| Gieasons good pitching and nice sup

crepe hanger. one Mr.. Witt. Schans
was passed as starter, but was
| forced al second on Bush drive to
Peck. Witt then came to the bat and
Gleason made the mistake of getting
himself in a hole through trying To
| fool the tow-headed lad with three
| and two. The ball was sent over the
| plate. and Mr.. Witt met it square on
the nose, and away IT sailed among
| the outstretched hands of the specta-
grand stand. Milan said afterward
| that it would have been an easy ny
| on the Washington grounds.
Gleason kept his nerve and set the
Yanks down in order in the next

seventh. followed by clean single
and a sacrifice. resulted in the third

1900 Fans Brave Weather.
The Washington club was paid 70.
! a little over $4,000 spectators. which
| is a splendid showing when the dis
agreeable weather is considered.
| Joe Gleason will win many bali
games for the Griffmen this summer.
as there are few teams who can lace
| the pill like the Yanks. He is cool
! at all times and when he gains just
a trifie better control, hits off his
delivery VIII be few and far be
| tween.
Joe Bush held up the game for
+! five minutes during the second in
ming, on account of dust being blown
and had his optics fixed up by Tho i.
| trainer of the Yanks and then con-
| tinued pitching. Nick ,Aitrock re
marked that it was hard luck that
Joe didn't go blind just long enough
| for another twirler to be substituted
| The atmosphere warmed up about
| one degree today. but at that il looks
decidedly like more pleasant weather
/. for tomorrow. With the Yanks win
ming regularly, a large crowd will
surely witness the final game of the
series tomorrow.
| Manager Milan is at his wits end
on account of the condition of his
pitching staff, and says that he does
| not know whether to work Brill
| heart, Zachary or Courtney in the
final game tomorrow.
(! II guess I will have to renig on my
assertion that I would not pitch any
more left handlers against the
Yanks." said Zeb this evening. II
thought Walter Johnson would be
available for the final game, but nc
is not yet ready, and Woodward has
a sore arm. which covers my string
of rieht-handers. Phillips has Of

This pair may not be the best fielders
