ing, but Poor Hitting by the Home
Team First Trip Abroad.
The wfctched weakness of the Washing
tons at the bat prevented them from Win
ming game yesterday, to which their fine
fielding entitled them, and Wilmot's unfor-
tunate mufT in the tenth inning enabled tile
Bostons to pull of victory, when at least
draw appeared certain. There Is at least
somecomfott for local enthusiasts in that the
Senators have played good game for two
days In succession, and one Of these fine days
they may wake up aud hit the ball little.
Daily aud sowders filed the points for their
clubs, and were backed up by Murray and
O'Rourkc, respectively Dailywas hit 1uite
hard for the first five innings, but the hits
were kept pretty well scattered, and so
sharp was the fielding that few runs ma
terialzod and at no time was success
beyond the reach of the Senators by Wig
orous use of the willow, but for seven In
nings only three balls were driven beyond
the diamond by the home batters, Que of
which Wilmot sent to the club house for
three bases, and the others fell into the
clutches of llornung and Johnston.

times he put his wagon-tongue bat squarely
against the ball and lined IL out for four sin
giles and triple, and, more remarkable
still, with all this pounding, and though he
was twice on third with no one out, yet he
neither scored nor sent in run. Honung
did the next best, sizing up Daily for Il two
and threc-baser.
Both mines field superbly, u tumble by
Nash and n missed third strike marrlDg the

and wild throw each by Murray and Shoch
making UP the total of Washington's errors.
The latter played a grand game ut short,
'lisposing Of six men, and his poor throw
was made after one of the finest. stops OF
the game. Nash, as usual, distinguished
himself at the second bag. Ills stop and

This was Sowders's first appearance in
Washington and he pitched an excellent
game. He has good control of the ball, and
his delivery Is very regular aud fooled the
Senators well enough. What he would do
in front Of club that could bat has yet to
he proved. He has many points yet TO
learn about covering first aud backing up
players. Hoy rot q base when he would
have been out had Clai.kson been there to
take the ball from Morrill, as he so cleverly
did on certain occasions in the other games.
The game was played under protest. The
management believing that they could not
have fair chance of winning under the
rulings Of Mr. Lynch made an effort to
have him set aside and substitute pro-
vided. That failing, they flied u formal
protest and rested there. The game was
not lost, however, for his decisions-and
some OF them were dreadful-hurt the
visiting club more than the Nationals.

Matters opened inauspiciously for Wash-N
ington, Kelly leading with u clean
sroundcr past Shoch, and Wise following
with one of the same soIt, between first
and second, on which Keli raced to third
and Sam stole second. Sutton sent a high fly
TO short left field, which no one supposed
could be reached, but Wilmot raced In for
it, took it close to the ground on the dead
run, and had II In Shoch's hands at second
before Wise began to think about returning.
1t was a star double play, aud the best Of
the week. Nash fouled to 0'Brien, and
MiclaelJ. was left. After two men were out
ir tnc second, Johnston drove a grounder
past Daily, and O'Rourke sent him to third
by a hit to right; a baby throw by Murray,
when the latter was stealing second, allowed
the sprightly center fielder to make the first
Kelly jumped ON the first ball pitched in
the third, and took three bases before Hoy
could field 1t up from the club house steps,
Kelly was dancing off the bag and shouting
10 Wise to "hit II hard,n when Wise drove
IL to Irwin, who squeezed it tightly, touched
Kelly, and threw to first in time to retire
Wise. "BOth out,n said Lynch. Kelly
cried "Oh n and fell down on the bag; but

the inning.
Nash's hit to left Morrill's three baser
to the club house, and long fly TO Mack
earned two runs in the sixth, and when the
eighth began and Washington had made
only one hit, 1t looked much like a shut out.
Murray began with fly to Nash, Irwin
smashed ball at Sutton so hard that 1t
staggered him and John reached first IN
safety. lie got second on a saffron colored
ruling of Lynch, on which there was Wig
orous but useless kick Daily fired
another at Grandfather Sutton too hot
to hold and Irwin went to third. Daily

Tor retnn Irwin lit out for home and
landed safely by great slide aud
4 went TO the fence covered with
dust and glory. Then Hoy gave one to
Morrill,, and raced TO the base with Capt.
John and beat him, Daley on third. Wilmot
got his second good whack for the day, and
4 only missed home run and the game by
&ix inches, the ball striking the top OF the
Nence and bounding back, but Daley and
Hoy were In and the score was tied. Shoch
lifted high fly near the right foul line,
which looked safe, but Kelly by great rum
ming got under II, and returned 1t to first
before Wilmot could get back. The Bos-
tons were quickly retired, Murray catching
lIornung by a beautiful throw to second.
Both sides were put out In order IN the ninth
and the Senators In the tenth. Kelly came
up again to save the game, struck at the
first two balls and missed them; the next
two were wide, but he caught the fifth and
it skipped out to Hoy In center field. Daily
made several attempts to catch him at first
Kelly got reckless, and rifie-shot to
O'Brien found him ten feet away. "You're
out" screamed Lynch, and the crowd
yelled till they were hoarse. Kelly said 1t
was a balk, but the umpire stuck to his de-
cision. Wise sent long fly to Wilmot,
which bounded out of his hands, and thus
the game was lost, for after the left fielder
had caught Sutton's fly, Nash cracked n
two-baserto right, and the Bostons had won
their eighth straight game. Attendance
