happier crowd than that which filed out OF
Capitol Park yesterday afternoon, after having
witnessed the senators defeat the BostOns, the
score being to 1. could hardly be imagined. II
was more OF a large human smile than q crowd,
and many were the significant winks, and mods,
and handshakings that told OF perfect satisfac-
ton. Washington won the game on its merits and
deserved the victory. The batteries were Whitney
and Mack, and Radbourne and Tate. In the first
inning Hoy led on by reaching first on balls, but
Wilmot struck out and Myers made a rafting
single 10 the left field fence that availed nothing
as O'Brien forced him out at second. The Boston's
half proved equally reproductive the men going
out In order, Wise striking out. Another zero was
scored for the senators in the second and iG looked
dark Tor the home club when Boston pounded out
run In their innings. After Nash had fled TO
Shoch Morrill, cracked one OF Whitney's curves so
had that IL looked as though 1t were going to
long run and jump for IL, but failed to reach It,
and the ball went into the corner OF the lot, Nor
nil reaching third. Wilmot made good run, but
lt looked as IL he tried TO make a catch for the
grand stand by slowing up and then jumping for
the ball. Brown came TO his (Morrilrs) rescue Dy
neat little bunt over DonEelyS head, on which
Morrill, scored. 1t looked like more runs, but the
side was retired on a double play when Brown

to first on phantom hit on the arm, but was
thrown out at second. Fuller had gone Oh on a
n.y. Hoy hit Safely, stole second, and went to
third on Radbournes poor throw to catch him
mapping. Hopes were centered on WilmOt, but
the time for him had not come yet, and he went
out 10 Johnson. Nothing was done on either side

Fuller In time. Brown stole second, but the next

Will lot TO THE RESCUE
Then came the chance the Senators had been
waiting for. In the sixth Shoch hit safely to
right field. He prohted by experience and did not
attempt steal, but waited calmly while Hoy's
high ny was taken by Johnston. WilmOtS turn
came next, and with crack he sent the ball spin
ming out between Hornung and Johnston, a clean
three Dagger, Shoch scoring. OBrien whispered
something In WilmOtS ear and some one else told
Myers secret. Wilmot was dancing around on
thlrd with an eager eye on the plate when Myers
hit slow, easy ball TO WISE When IL reached
the short stops hands Wiimot was Sliding over The
plate, and IN his hurry Wise threw badly to Morril
and Myers was safe. OBrien forced him Out AT
second, and Donnelly reached first on balls, but
Mack retired the side by fly u Brown. The lead
was small one, TO l, but IL gave hope to every
body. Boston might have scored in their half Of
the sixth but for

and Hornung drove the ball between second and
short like shot Under ordinary circumstances
II would have been safe hit, but Fuller was
there; and, taking II neatly on the bound tossed
II TO Myers, who lined IL TO O'Brien, and retired
both men. Johnston reached first on an error by
DoanelIy, then whitney retired the side by strik-
Ing out Wise for the second time. Things looked
bad again In the last hall Of the seventh when,
after Two men were out, o Brien let Browns easy
grounder so between his feet. kusman followed
up the advantage by making a safe hit, and the
crowd held Its breath. Hornung was dancing
around the third base line, coaching. "Get ON
your Clothes" he yelled 1T Brown Just as Tate
raped long fly near the center neid fence that
Hoy captured easily. After that both sides went
out In order In the eighth and NINTH and the game
closed at O'Clock, victory for the Statesmen
With the exception OF DOnnelly'S and O'Briens
errors, which avatled nothing, the work OF the
