Special Dispatch to The Star.


- Having found st. Louis hos
pitable, the Nationals TO-
night tripped on to Chicago
where they should have great
pleasure in a series with the White
Sox.
Today, in the third and final
of the series with the Browns, the
Griffmen, after Brown had re-
lieved McAfee in the box in the
fourth, had an easy time and
recorded their third straight VIC
tory by an impressive 1O-to-4
margin.
AS the Athletics defeated Cleveland
there was no gain on second place, puI
the Senators did use the three victories
here to get within game and nan
of the Athletics and now are four games
ahead of the Indians. With the Mack
men in Detroit-the Tigers are fairly
tough-Johnson's men have chance
to overcome the Philadelphia handlcap
in the next few days.
The Nationals collected IA hits to-
day, among them a pair Of doubles
bv Sammy West, triples by Myer, Man
ush and Bluege and lusty homer by
Joe Kuhel. The Browns were taking
liberties with McAfee, but Brown stop
ped them stone cold and allowed only
three hits in the six frames he worked.
TTHE Nationals were first to score.
l. getting a pair in the opening IN
ming on triple, two passes, dou--
BILE, an error by Ferren and a passed
bali. McAfee had squelched a threat
ened rally in the Browns half by get,
ting two men after he had walked
GoSlin to fill the bases with only one
down. Hadley continued wild in the
second and two passes and single by
Manush added one to the washington
count.
McAfee had plenty of trouble in the
last of the second and the Browns ham
mered over four runs, Levy's double,
single by Hadley and Ferrelrs two
Dagger with the bases filled being the
chief wallops. 1t was tied up in the
third when Joe Kuhel, first up, lifted
one which dropped on the roof OF the
pavilion in right for the round trip.
Campbell opened the last OF the
fourth with single, and after McAfee
had pitched three bad ones to Goslin
bTOWn went III 10 P4IC4 nA4o S1oPPCo
the impending rally.
WASHINGTON again took the lead
w in the fifth. West opened with
his second double and beat Had
1eys throw of BluegeS bunt to third.
Spencer's long fly to Garms let West
score and Hadley got the next two.
Hadley started the sixth by pass
ing Myer and Manush-his sixth and
seventh pasSes-and Cronin'S safe bunt
filled the bases. Also. it ended Had
ley's activity, Sam Gray relieving him.
Kuhel lined to Levey, but West singled
two runs over, after which Bluege and
Spencer flied politely to GoSlin. Two
hits and pass in the last half didn't
benefit the Browns any as a double
place
Again in the seventh, the Senators
used the double-play method to squelch
what might have been an uprising.
This one happaned to be their third
of the game, all coming at most help
full times.
Any doubt as to the result-if there
had been any-waS removed when the
Senators scored three in the eighth on
two triples and as many singles.
And that was all the scoring, which
any fair-minded fan will admit was
quite enough.
A LPHONSE THOMAS probably will
n pitch tomorrow in Chicago in one
Of the two games opening the
series with the White Sox. .Marberry
has reported tummy trouble and may
have a day or so of rest. st. Louis
fans hadn't had a peek at McAfee
since his days as a Boston Brave.
Series was an artistic but hardly a
financial success for the Senators.
About 5000 saw the st. Louis final,
most Of them woman guests. Hadley
ex-senator, has won II games as a
Brownie. .McAfee used his head in
filling the bases with one out in the
first by walking Goslin, for he got the
next two men. First two Brownies in
first and first three in second hit safe
1y. ;. .McAfee certainly uses a lot of
slow stuff when men get on, no matter
who the opposing batter is. Fans GER
tainly got plenty of action in the early
innings what with hits and runs and
passes and errors. Lots of men strand
ed. Senators had five and Browns
seven left in first three innings . All
the Browns hope Walter Johnson will
be in command of the Senators in 1898
