outstanding achievements in the
seven-game battle show that Harris
was more consistently conspicuous
than any other player. His fielding
was the sensation OF the second and
fourth games. both OF which Wash

mightiest in the pinch. was the most
potent attacking weapon In the VIC
torious uphill fight that the Nationals
waged in the last two games.

it is true, but he slams the ball
with terrific speed between infielders
or over their heads drives long
flies to the outfeld ,ng fv meant
sure run with Frisch on third. SO
Johnson deliberately set about the
task of striking out Kelly. He was
not intending to let him meet the
ball IL there was anything left in
that old right arm that could strike
out batter. He shot through three
each one In almost the same place,
three of the kind that made Kelly
sweep wide and hard, and not one
or the three was met by Kelly in
his desperate swings at the ball
Ihat was one of the most admir-
able plays that Walter Johnson ever
executed in all his base bali career
because if Kelly had got away with
anything that rcsembled IL hit or a
sacrifice, or if the WASHINGTON team
mad been given the opportunity to
, tumble, muff or throw wild. that run
was over the rubber. which meant ad-
vantage for the Giants in the ninth
Then Meusel was thrown out at first
and the agony was over.

had found himself in that critical mo-
ment in the ninth and he was merely
adding to his triumph.
Inc end came quickly in the
twelfth, after Miller had been thrown
out. Ruel crashed a singing double

the old but usually reliable Hank
dowdy mad had n chance to retire him
on his high foul. Bentley WAS ill at

up and smashed the ball Straight at
young Lindstrom. 1t struck the
ground in front of the third baseman
and shot high in the air over his
head, just as Harris hit in the eighth
that tied the score previously had
gone over his head.
Ruel Takes No Chances.
Ruel. with all the speed that he
had in his catcher's trilbies, ran to
third, stamped 1t hard to be sure
that he touched it and then scamper-
ed home while Washington went
crazy.
To make history, Walter johnson,
who had been cautioned time and
again to be sure he touched second
base, ran down to the bag and stood
on it, and as far back as the farthest
tier in the stands, a smile of joy
could be seen spreading slowly over
his features. Then he started for the
clubhouse, but the fans nearly
wrecked him before he reached there.
The actual playing of the game did
little to change the impressions that
had been previously had of the Wash
ington team as a whole, but the work
of johnson from the ninth on was the
reincarnation Of a pitching master
and great soul, who stands stronger
today than ever in his. life as an
athlete who will never be forgotten
IL he never pitches another game in
his life.
