OTHER GAMES YEsTERDAY-THE RACE FOB THE
CHAMPIONSHIP NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. THE Ar
RANoEMrSrs OF THE sRoTHKaHooD's COOP
KRATIvr PLAN.
The game between the home club and the
Bostons yesterday was at any rate exciting.
The Washingtons did not win and the
can be stated in three words: Stupid
base running" Garrison was hit hard by the
Senators, while Person was considerable Of an
enigma to Boston. Both teams played q
splendid fielding game, that put up by the
visitors being perfect. In the eighth inning
the home team should have won the game
hands down. They batted out two singles and
two three-baggers, and got how many runs?
Well, just one, and General Dixwells cheers
sounded like the derision of the fends over
the fallen.
Neither team scored until the fourth inning,
when Hoy hit past short; Wlmots hot
grounde- was too much for CAMEL; two men
came to the rescue Of Boston and popped up
little fys, but Arthur Irwin was equal to the
occasion and smashed the ball for a three
Dagger, netting two runs for Washington. ID
the visitors half of the fourth Nash came to the
bat and hit the ball. That ball is yet to be
found. 1t is presumably going yet. Nash had
plenty of time to make the circuit Of the bases,
which he did without an error. In the sixth
the great Kel took his turn at trying to lose
the ball. He succeeded in scraping one over
the fence, and an enterprising boy trotted in
while the king was trottlng around the circuit.
POOR BASE RUNNING.
In this inning the wretched base running of
the Washingtons got in its deadly work.
Beecher hit cracking ball, but stopped on
the way to the first for little chat with
Charley Horse and was thrown out. In the
eighth Washington had her chance. Person
gave the crowd an awful shock by hitting for
three bags and Irwin, surnamed John, brought
him home by single. This tied the score and
all was lovely, but John thought second was a
better resting place than first and he started
to reach it. Bennett however, had been there
ball when he arrived. This was sad, for Hoy
Came to the bat and knocked the cover
OH the ball for three bags. 1t was
now Wilmots turn. and he tried hard. He
cracked the ball for spot about three feet
above Cancels head and it went like a shot
You've seen frog Jumping for fly? Well,
that's the way CANCEL jumped for that BAN
The frog never misses the fly and CANCEL
didn't either. He didn't swallow 1T though. He
let it drive for home and it got there just about
In time to nail Hoy at the plate. In the Boston
half Kelly hit for two bases and brought in the
winning run, through Nash's drive over second
Washington made 10 hits and errors, while
Boston only succeeded in getting hits off
Person. Their error column is, however, clear.
