dropped to the sixth hole.
Judge seemed right at home in the
1eadoH place for in four trips to the
plate he helped himself to double a
single and pass Not much hitting
was done by the others. but the Ma
tionab won. That was sufficient to
convince Manager johnson the new
order should be maintained.
THE 3-to-2 victory scored over the
i Indians yesterday was but the
second for the Nationals in the
last nine days. But it restored them
to the third position in the flag race
that had been wrested from them only
the day before by Pecks Papooses
win for Al Crowder during this trip
and the second beating of Yves Ferrell.
Tribal mound ace, by the Johnson
Band this season.
Crowder and Ferrell put on a snappy
pitching duel. Although the General
allowed nine hits and a pass while
Ferren gave up but five safeties and
one walk the former, outside of one
inning. was particularly effective with
men on the runway Ferrell, however,
slipped in two rounds.
The Nationals were first to score.
West opened the second session with a
for two bases. Bluege sacrificed. then
the Tribe shortstop picked up Berg's
roller and heaved to the plate too late
to nip Sammy
The Indians got back that run and
more in the fourth. With one Out
Sewell doubled and Kamm tripled A
real triple, a wal!op far over Vests
OF course, and Willie tailed as Cissell
was thrown out
Right back came the Nationals to
cop. Judge opened the fifth with a
walk and Myer boosted the ball over the
right field screen for home run. Just
enough for victory.
EERRELL settled after that homer
i and disposed of Is Washington
batsmen in succession, a pretty
piece of pitching. Crowder. however,
had to battle down to the finish.
The General was nit in six of the
nine innings and twice outside their
scoring round the Indians had as many
as two runners on at time
In the third Porter singled with one
out and Averill doubled after the Sec
ond out. but Porter. running the bases
poorly. pulled up at the far corner on
the lcng hit, then watched Vosmik
bound to the pitcher. After one was
oIt in the seventh Ferrell and Porter
singled. but neither Burnett nor Averill
could aid them.
In the ninth Cissell singled with one
out to put potential tieing tally on
the runway, but Ferrell and Porter
proved easy outs, and Porter was big
threat at the plate then, for he had
cOmbed CroWder for three hits
The Nationals haven't been able to
get many safeties off Ferrell this sea-
son, but they have done wonders with
the few. In washington last month
they beat Ferrell and the Indians by
3to 0. Only six hits were made off the
Tribal ace by the Johnson band, but
four were punched in the seventh and
eighth innings, when all the scoring
was done, and one of the hits was
home run by Carl Reynolds.
THIS is to be the last series the Ma
L tionals will have with the Indians
in the Cleveland clubs present
plant at League Park. When the
August the Tribe will be staging its
home games in the spacious Municipal
Stadium, in downtown Cleveland on
the Lake Erie shore.
Although some members of the City
Council still are playing politics in the
matter as they did last year to keep
the Indians out of the big plant, the
mayors board Of control already has
approved the lease to the ball club and
the first American League game in the
stadium is scheduled for Sunday July
81, between the Athletics and the In
dians
Washingtons first series in the
stadium will come August ITO
The Cleveland club is to pay S50,O00
q year for use of the plant and will
be responsible for maintaining the play
ing field. The city government will care
for the stands. The lease in it's pres
ent form permits either the city or the
Cleveland base ball club to cancel a
25-year agreement at the conclusion Of
the 1894 playing season.
