How the Base Ball Games Resulted
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
THE GOOD WORK OF THE HOME TEAM-THEY HAVE
STRUCK A WINNING GAIT AND RE KEEPING IT
ur-BAsE HITS COMPENSATE FOB ERRoRs-rHE
CHAMPIONSHIP RECORD.
II would seem as though fate or something
akin to it were determined that the Washing
ton and Cleveland clubs shall not play another
game Of ball to aconclusion. For the second
time the contest has been prevented from be-
ing played to finish, this time it being the
weather that interfered. For four innings
yesterday the two teams played in fine mist
that developed into quite strong rain in the
Sd inning and convinced Umpire Curry at the
end of the 4th that it would be well to send the
Infants out of the wet and let the Senators get
under shelter. When he did this the score
stood to in favor Of Cleveland. The wet
ball caused number Of errors and some wild
pitching, and the game promised to be weari-
some III the extreme. Haddock and DAILY and
Gruber and thinner were the batteries. Both
teams went out in order in the first inning and
the Statesmen repeated the operation in the
I'd The Infants, however, pulled out runs
from their half by means of some safe hitting,
some wild pitching, and some bad fielding.
This was all done after two men were out for
Twitchell flied to Wise and Faatz went out at
first on a neat stop and throw by Sweeney.
Then Radford hit into right field for a base
and went to second on Mack's fumbling.
Tebeau hit to Clarke for a base, the ball ound-
ing hastily. Clarke managed to keep it from
going out into the field and could have thrown
Radford out at the plate with ease, but he held
the ball SO long and threw it SO high that the
run was scored. Two bases on balls filled the
points and two scores were tailed on Stricker's
hit for base. McAleer put up a fly that Hoy
took in.
GOOD HITTING.
The home team did some pretty hitting in
the 4th and runs were chalked to their credit
Carney went out at first and Peter Sweeney
was given his base. Haddock then banged the
ball to the left-feld fence for q single, and
Hoy's base hit filled the diamond. Wilmot
spent some time rubbing his bat handle to dry
1t and then waited for the right kind of ball.
When il came he sent it sailing out to the right
center fence, clearing the bases and reaching
third. DAILY made little bunt hit to Gruber
and was thrown out at first. Wilmot scoring
Then Wise selected a twister that he liked and
pounded 1t for two bases, scoring on Clarke's
bounding hit over Tebeau Clarke was put
out soon after trying to steal second. In the
latter half Peter Sweeney threw two men out
at second, and with two more on the bases
threw out the third one at first. The home
club went out i'll the fourth but the visitors
were far from doing so. First, Carney muffed
Ciarkes throw of Zimmers hit, and Gruber hit
safely. Stricker's hit to Haddock was thrown
to third in time to shut thinner off Sweeney
making good stop of bad throw. McAleer
flied out to Carney. but Sam Wise muffed a fy
from the bat of Sutcliffe, who took the place of
Giiks at short, when the latter was in iured in
the third inning. On this error Gruber and
Sutcliffe came in on Tritchelrs single. Faatz
was hit by the ball. but was forced out at sec
ond by Radford's hit to Clarke. Then Umpire
Curry called the game without its having come
to conclusion. Washington made hits and
errors, and Cleveland hits and errors.
