WASHINGTON, July 4.—After batting out a victory in the seventh inning of the morning game to-day the Yankees proved easy for Washington in the afternoon.
For six innings the first contest was a battle between the young pitchers, Keeley and Manning, and the former was the first to give way under the strain. The Yankees piled up four runs in the seventh, and when Manning showed signs of wildness, Lake was sent into the box. He failed, too, and Newton took up the task.
In the afternoon, Elberfeld's men could do nothing with Waiter Johnson, the local phenom. In the nine innings the Yankees were able to get only two clean drives, the other two safeties being rollers in front of the plate, which Johnson could not handle. Lake started the afternoon game, but he was in poor form, and before the second inning was ended Washington had piled up three runs on two hits and a pair of errors. Newton came to the rescue, and succeeded in stopping the hitting, but he was so wild that later Chesbro came into the box and pitched the remaining innings.
Washington had a chance to nearly tie the score In its own half of the fatal seventh in the morning, but missed fire because that comical but provoking young genius. Umpire Egan, refused to enforce the rules of the game. With one out, Charley Street tripled, Freeman was hit by a pitched ball, and Altizer walked, filling the bases. Manning's usefulness as a pitcher was seen to be over, and Lake was ordered to the mound.
Clymer went to bat for McBride, and Lake began by giving him two balls. At this point, Kid Elberfeld, the New York manager, cut into the game. Elberfeld is under indefinite suspension for a row with Umpire O'Loughlin in New York, but, contrary to the rules and regulations, occupied a box by the New York bench, whence he bossed his team's operations. He arose in his seat and let out a mighty roar for Doc Newton to jump into the breach and finish the bout with Clymer. Newton was down by the clubhouse in centre field, and it took much yelling and gesticulation from Elberfeld to attract the attention of his henchman.
Capt. Ganley and Manager Cantillon protested violently for Washington, but it did no good, as Umpire Egan declined to chase Elberfeld or prevent rum from exercising his managerial authority. Newton finally tumbled to what was wanted, supplanted Lake after that individual had pitched only two balls, and struck out Clymer. Cates batted for Keeley, and also succumbed to the shoots of the southpaw, who had been so boisterously rung into the proceedings.
In the afternoon, Elberfeld was banished from the grand stand and watched the game from the porch of the clubhouse.
