There ara two men ON the washington ball team
who might own the town-the base ball town-n
they liked Each OF their names begin with an o,
and the rest Of them are Day and Brien- In fact,
they are heroes. Little did the 100 spectators
who shiyered az Capitol Park expect to see such
playing-uttle did they expect the Senators TO
escape a defeat; but by marvellous exhibition OF
team playing such as has seldom never, been
seen here before the Statesmen tied the score In
the ninth and kept up their gait until at the end
OF the twelfth inning Umpire Lynch called the
game with the score 1 TO 1. At first It
looked as though the Washnstons had
sized up smiling Mickey Welcn Tor smuggling

hits and their tally-bOard contained Dut goose
eggs. This looked all the worse as the New

half passed ball ODay was pitching wonderful
game, keeping down the Giants, striking them out
with ease, but the game seemed gone Just the
same. When the WashiDgtOns came In for their
ninth inning, OBTien leading on, no sane man
would have taken a bet OF 10 to on the home
side. But the ''Pig' seemed determined
TO do or die. \ spasInOdic cheer goes up as

Two men are out and things look shaky. Deasley

breath. A passed ball will lose the game. Rich
