PITCHERS.

| an extra base and the other being a
! tumble of a batted ball that permitted
the beneficiary of the first misplay to
/ score.
But Reeves more than offset these
( errors by his fine fielding at other times.
| He accepted II of ii chances that came
/ his way, making putouts and 8 as
sists a big afternoons work.
| The third error in the inning was
committed by Zach. He picked up
| Harry Rice's grounder and threw the
| ball against the Tigers back. That
| gave Harry life, but indirectly result
| ed in the ending of the inning, for Jack
| Hayes retrieved the ball and cut down
Tiger who was doing piece Of fool
| iSh base running.
According to base ball critics here, the
| Tigers play all their base ball foolishly.
The club is being panned numerically
by newspapers and fans and yesterday
| played as though 1t felt the sting of the
! panning.
Moriarty's men were beaten off early
the Nationals taking quite a fancy to
Earl Whitehills left-handed pitching
after the second inning and driving him
| from the box in the fourth with Ave-
hit barrage, three of the shots being
doubles, before a man was out. This
was good for four runs, and three had
| been made in the previous inning in
which Whitehill was found for a single,
triple and pass.
George Smith, right-hander. relieved
Whitehill in the fourth with runners on
third and first bases. The only run
made off him during the remainder of
the round was due to Chick Galloways
error Smith hurled three more innings
and gave up three Safeties. two of which
were good for the Nationals last mark
er. Then Lii Stoner, also right
handler, pitched two frames and granted
nothing more than one single.
BIuege Paves the Way.
Ossie Bluege, who got three hits In
four batting trials, started the Nation
ais on their winning way. He opened
the third inning with single and con-
tinued to second when Easterling FUN
bled Ruel walked and Zach sacrificed
Sam RIce's triple down the right field
line chased two runs across, and Sam
crossed after Heilmann grabbed Hayes
hoist.
In the fourth session Goslin doubled,
Reeves singled, Judge doubled, Bluegc
doubled and Ruel singled before White
hill was called from the hill. The fusil-
lade was good for three markers. When
Galloway dropped Woodall's throw as
cended the mound, BIuege tailed with
a fourth score.
The Tigers first dented the plate in
the fifth Easterlings drive bounded of
Zach's glove to second base, where
Reeves made a hashly stop Bob,
though, chucked wildly by Judge and
Easteriing made second. Galloway's in
field erasure sent Easterling to the far
corner from where he watched Smith
fan Reeves, however. kicked Sweeney's
soft roller, and run was chalked up
for the home club.
The Nationals put over a run after
two were out in the seventh. Barnes
single and GosIin's double did the work.
The Tigers, thanks mainly to wild
streak Zach developed, came back with
two TALES In their half Of the session.

and Sweeney, walked IN succession at
the start. Harry Rices' loft to West.
