Eddie Cicotte went 8 strong innings as the Washington Nationals topped the
Philadelphia-AL Athletics by a score of 4 to 3 at American League
Park.

Washington started with a bang, jumping out to an early lead in their half of
the first plating 3 runs on 3 base hits.  Red Murray got things going when he
reached on an error.  Claude Ritchey followed and he banged out a single.
Roger Bresnahan then slapped a base-hit scoring a single run.  Fred Clarke
came up and he laid down a sacrifice bunt.  Claude Rossman came to the plate
and hit a deep fly scoring another baseruner.  Kaiser Wilhelm then tossed a
pitch that the catcher mis-handled.  Fred Osborn stepped into the batter's
box and he lashed a one-base hit scoring the final run of the inning.
Philadelphia-AL had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short.

The victory went to Cicotte(11-4) who went 8 innings, allowing 3 runs. Cicotte
got help from Jack Coombs who was credited with his 4th save.  Wilhelm(7-6)
was the loser.  He was a hard-luck loser, pitching 4 innings and not allowing
an earned run.  

'Just one or two mistakes were all it took to beat us today' Andy Spector
said.  'We take these games one day at a time, but this one was hard to
take.'
