Werber's Error Fatal.

AN parted. Then Kline was hit fol
a single and was yanked from the hill
Cronin got nothing more of Welland
the third pitcher, than a long ny to
the rightfelder. But it moved Myer
from second to third base. from where
he tailed with the decisive score as
Schulte's grounder was booted by
Werber at third.
Whitehill got his nineteenth
win Of the season in the second
scrap. but he was pummeled from
the peak before the game was
ssyen innings old. Only in the
sixth inning had the Red Sox
failed to hit Earl, and then he
issued two passes.
After they had been closely pursued
by the home side for six rounds, the
Nationals managed to back a pass with
three hits for three runs in the seventh,
Welch's last inning on the hill. That
put them four runs up, but their lead
was cut to one run when Whitehiu lost
his cunning completely.
After two hits had produced a Red
Sox run In the seventh, Whitehill man
aged to get two out; then came double
to send over another score. Exit White
hill. Russell, who came on, was I'M
mediately hit for two singles and a

Jones of Philadelphia at Twin

Larry has met up with Bill on an.

was back in 1891 before tar-hued Will

Schultz raped the left-handed Wei

again the Red Sox threw great scare
into the Washington ranks, and, but
for poor work on the runway by their
manager, the game might have been
theirs.
After pass and two singles had

grabbed Warstler's bat and hoisted the
ball to deep right. Instead Of holding

had to return to tag the bag when Rice
