FACE HIM IN 1-0 WIN Walter Yields Only Three Scratch Hits—Bush, Harris and Judge Pull Triple Play—Davis Forces in Only Run of Game. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. LTER JOHNSON has performed some remarkable hurling feats W in the fifteen seasons he has worn a Washington uniform, but he has few better pitched games to his credit than that of yes- terday, when he shut out the St. Louis club, the score being 1-0. To all intents and purposes, Johnson pitched a no-hit game, and the | . meager crowd that witnessed the brilliant box duel between him and Frank Davis gave the Kansan an ovation when the battle ended in the belief that he had performed this feat. All that separated Johfson from having his name inscribed in the hurlers’ hall of fame for the second time in- his career were three infield raps of the scratchiest nature, recorded as hits by the official scorer, although a great majority of thosel | i present charged Owen Bush with as many errors. Two of these decidedly questionable bingles developed in succession in the | fourth inning and set-the stage for the only triple piay the Nationals | have engineered or that Washington | st pouis. fans have seen in almost a decade. | Tobin, rf Tobin led off with a smart whack that Bush reached with both hands a_little to his right, but fumbled, and | Ellerbe followed with a lazily pro- | I peiled bounder over by second, which Bush also_got both paws on, and dropped.
