a lay-off. However, what followed
the Nationals 15-to-11 victory over

some penalty upon Bucky after

That some hot-tempered. loose
headed fan should leap from the stand
and take a punch at Umpire Holmes
after the game was over certainly
was no fault of Harris, who was off
the field at the time, but Johnson
may take the view that Harris con-
duct melted the one-man riot. The
fighting fan came out second best
in the attack, for he inflicted only a
scratch upon Holmes cheek and took
good wallop from Umpire George
Moriarty, who. with Second Baseman
Chick Fewster of the Indians, came
to the arbiteTS rescue.
The actual slam-bang exhibition
was over quickly, for the rabiu par
tlsan was grabbed by police and hus-
tied to an exit, where ne managed to
wrench himself from the grasp of the
officers and disappear in the depart
ing crowd. However hundreds of
fans swarmed on the field after the
incident, but they were not in bel
1igerent mood and it did not take the
cops long to convince them it was
Game Was Real Riot.
Really, the only mob business of
the afternoon was staged by the con-
testing clubs The Indians supplied
fourteen actors and the Nationals
only one less. and a riot in nine
scenes was offered. Eight of the
thespians were cast in pitching roles,
and none succeeded in distinguishing
himself to the satisfaction of his
stage manager, except Frank Brewer,
erstwhile National, who lately has
been first base understudy for the In
dianS, and Allen Russell
Frank slipped from his first base
role to the pitching part in the sixth
scene after the Nationals had all but
dubbed several other Tribesmen to
death and played to the end superb1y.
George Uhle, Watson Clark, Luther
Roy and Virgil Cheeves. All told, the
Nationals raked this quintet for
eighteen blows that totaled twenty
five bases and were given free trans
portation to first base four times
Fred Marberry, Paul Zahniser and
Russell assumed the pitching role for
The Nationals in the order mentioned
Fred gave up only four hits in five in
Dings, but one was a homer by iris
in the fifth, and he also added five
passes. Zahniser. sprained wrist and
all, then toiled until two were out in
the ninth, when he filed the bases
with trio of walks. Here Russell
took up the burden and Joe Sewefl
ended the play by kindly lifting to
Sam Rice.
War Clubs Are Welded.
The Nationals lost little time get
ting under way, scoring two runs in
the first inning after having blanked
The Indians through the assistance of
a neat double play by Harris. Peck
and Judge. With two gone, Harris
slammed d double into left center
aud came across Immediately on
Goslin's double to the score board.
Judge then landed Goslin at the plate
with a. neat single to center
Marberry set the visitors down in
order in the second round, but the
Nationals were in a hitting mood,
and, driving Uhle out of the box, reg
istered three more runs. Peck sim
gled and Bluege sent him along with
a neat sacrifice. Tate singled to
short right and Peck stopped at third.
Marberry forced Tate, Peck scoring
on the play. Rice then biffed a triple
into right center, scoring Marberry,
and scored minute later on Leibold's
single.
A five-run lead generally sews up a
game, but the tribe as we'll as the
Nationals was in a savage mood
which was quickly demonstrated in
the third when MdrDerry became "1iQ
and passed three batters. These
walks mixed with singles by Myatt
and Jameson, netted the opposition
three runs.
In the fifth, the Indians tied the
score and the Nationals at once un-
tied the knot.
with one out, Jameson doubled to
right, Speaker lofted the sphere over
the right field fence for home run.
Griffith batted for Marberry in the
Nationals portion of the frame, but
flied to Fewster, and Rice followed
with a fly to Speaker. But singles
by Leibold and Harris and double
by Goslin meant pair of taliies.
Sixth Settles Scrap.
In the sixth the Indians showed
a pair of runs over the rubber, again
knotting the count for a minute or
two. Brewer walked and Fewster
singled Lutzke laid down a sacri-
flee. and Clark came through with
a nifty single to center that regis
tered Brewer and Fewster.
Then came the blow-off for the
Nationals, who put! eight runs, over
the rubber In the melee there were
three passes and six hits, Judge get
ting a pair of doubles and Peck two
singles That ended the run-getting
of the Nationals, but the Indians con-
tinued their clouting and with walks
recorded three runs in the, seventh
and one in the eighth. They merely
threatened in the ninth.
