CHICAGO GETTING EVEN.
THEY WARM THE SENATOR'S IN
IN THE LAST GAME.
An or Fielding Day for the Home Team
Six Runs on Errors-Detroit Plays
the Home Team To-Day-Turr Mat
ters of Interest.

Chicago got even for one Of her defeats
yesterday and little margin to spare. An
son and his merry men jumped on the Sena-
tors at the start, dragged them around,
swept up the ground with them, and had
lots of fun with them till they were tried.
If the boys played this kind of game on
the trip it's wonder how they got those
five victories, but as they showed us on
Wednesday how well they can do, and two
out of three is as much as any club has
license to win from the Chicagos, we should
not be too hard on the lads and bad as 1t
was, O'Day was not pounded so hard as
Baldwin, and the Statesmen have made nine
fielding errors in the series to eleven for
Chicago.
Considering the support he received,
O'Day pitched a very fair game Irwin
had a terribly off day, and at least six of the
opponents runs are due to his errors,
which were Of the deepest old gold variety.
Even Hoy caught the infection and made
his second error of the season, not a bad
one, to be sure, but It goes. Mack was sub
stituted for Wilmot and made a bad mess
Of fielding up balls. Donnelly and Meyers
were shining exceptions to the general de-
moralizations and Hoy made phenomenal
catch. Deasley hurt his leg in the seventh
and was replaced by Murray.
Van Haltren had his pitching suit on, and
was complete enigma to the home team,
their six hits being distributed through five
innings, and nearly all the visitors played a
great game. PfefIerwas of in his throwing,
Anson saving him from several errors by
good work. The captain looked $50 fine
at Fritz several times. Burns played n
splendid third base, aN Sullivan captured
five flies In left, one, a running catch off Hoy
in the seventh, being of the "starn order.
Washington's poor little run was made in
the second when Hoy got his first on balls,
his second on pass, and third on Irwins
out. Donnelly was hit by the pitcher and
attempted to steal second. Darling threw
down TO stop him and Hoy dashed for home,
securing the latter by good slide and q
close call. O'Brien and Myers made good
hits after two men were out in the third,
but Hoy flied to Sullivan.
Chicago opened savagely on O'Day in the
first and won the game right there. Ryan
lifted the ball over Irwin's head, and then
Sullivan cracked a grass cutter past the
pitcher, sending Ryan to third. Petit sent
ball to O'Day, who cut Ryan off from
home and he lodged about TIL he slipped
back to third, which was left unguarded, but
Sullivan had also occupied the bag and the
fun went on till, by muff of Irwins, Ryan
scored and Sullivan and Petit were safe on
third and second. This broke O'Day
all up and long flies to the outfeld by
Anson and Williamson, q drive to center
by Pfeffer, and Burns's homer over the
fence brought In five runs. Van Haltren
also hit safely, but was left on Darling's fly
to Mack. The next two innings yielded
nothing, Myers, O'Bricn, and Donnelly
making pretty double play in the second
Van Haltren was caught between third and
home in the fourth, and, after playing a
neat trick on Donnelly, was allowed to get
back to third on Irwin's second muff. 1t is
only fair to Irwin to say that he has a very
bad finger; that is responsible for most of
his errors. Deasley caught Ryan off second
In this inning by beautiful throw.
The visitors went at O'Day with hammer
and tongs in the fifth. Anson's grounder
went by Donnelly without stopping to
speak, and Anson reached second; then
Pfeffer lifted one to the center fence, good
for three bases, but Hoy fielded 1t up so
quickly that Fritz was stopped at second,
but scored when Williamson sent ball
sailing to right. The big shortstop skipped
nimbly down to second, and in trying to
reach home on Burns's hard hit to Myers
was nipped at the plate by sharp return of
the ball from O'Brien after retiring Burns.
Ryan's hit, irwin's tumble, Of a hot
throw-in Of Pettit's long hit to left gave the
last two runs in the sixth. Williamson
was given second and third on close base de.
cisions on steals in the seventh that brought
out much Kissing, and was then caught very
neatly by O'Day to Donnelly.
Daily has been called to Providence by
the death of relative, but will be back on
Monday Whitney will probably be able to
pitch to-day.
