KEEPING UP THE GOOD WORK
Pittsburg Again Defeated by Washing
ton-Other Games.

Every Senator hitting safely, and some OF
them hitting two or three times, playing with
a vim and determination that are invincible,
putting life into games where before they were
listless winning, in fact, with ease from clubs
that have heretofore been victorious over
them-such is now the condition of affairs with
the Washington ball club. Yesterday they
won their fifth straight game, the victims being
the men from Gastown. They did it by hard
hitting and safe, by fielding well enough to
keep the visitors from scoring too many runs
and by keeping up that lucky gait they struck
eleven days ago. The score was 10 to 4, this
being rather an odd fact, since in the three
games won from Horace Phillips men the
scores were 10 to A, 10 to 6, 10 to 4 Verify, the
figure 10 seems to be the mascot of Washington.
THE BATTERIES
were Keefe and DAILY and Garfield and Fields.
This young man with the presidential name is
just the kind of twirler the Senators like. He
puts the balls over the plate in exactly the
manner they love dearest and they demon
strated their affection for his delivery by
embracing it on the slightest pretense. On
the other hand the men from Pittsburg were
at a loss when Keefe faced them and shot his
puzzlers over the rubber. Most of them man
aged to hit the ball some way, but it was not a
safe way. and the sphere persisted in going in
somebody's hands except on five rather lonely
occasions. when it kept out of reach. Keefe
was just little wild and gave four bases on
balls, two OF which resulted in runs, but he
was very effective in all other respects and
received good support at critical moments.
INDIVIDUAL WORK.
Clarke played short once more, and though
he made one tumble, he accepted all of his
other eight chances, being tbs sole actor in one
double play, and an important element in
another. He also made two single hits.
Sweeney made his usual error, but more than
paid for it with q single and a double hit.
Mack muffed one ball, which was hardly worth
az much to Pittsburg as Comics double and
two singles were toWashington. With this record
MACK led the two teams IN batting. Hoy and
Wilmot made a three-bagger each and DAILY
and Wise a single. Carney found the ball for
two base hits.
The home team scored twice in the first on
Rowe's error on Hoy's ball, passed ball and
singles by DAILY and Clarke. One run in the
second was the result of a couple of two,
baggers by Mack and Sweeney, and the one in
the third came from Wise's single and steal and
Carney's hit. The visitors scored two runs in
the third on a base OH balls and a double by
Hanlon and Beckley's single. The game was
won beyond all chance in the sixth, when three
more runs made the score to 2. These came
from Sweeney being hit by the pitcher Keefe's
single. and triples by Hoy and Wilmot. Two
runs of the Pittsburg tell the tale of the
seventh, these being caused by Dunlap's base
on balls. Smiths sacrifice, Hanlon's single and
Beckleys double. This, however, was balanced,
and TO spare, by the usual Senatorial run-get-
ting in the ninth, in this game amounting to g.
two singles and errors by Hanlon and Dunlap
contributing. Washington made Is hits and
A errors, and Pittsburg hits and errors.
OTHER GAMES.
Boston generously took two games from In
dianapolis, thus aiding the Senators materially.
The first score was 10 to 5, six innings being
played The batteries were Radbourne and
CAMEL, and Getzein and Daily. The Hoosiers
made hits and errors and the Hubbites II
hits and errors. The second score was Z to 5.
Daley and CAMEL, and Rusie, Buckley and
Daily were the batteries. Boston made hits
and errors, and Indianapolis hits and
errors.
Cleveland stopped sliding and touched up the
Phillies for victory by the score of 9to 4.
Sanders, p. Wood and Schriver, and Bakeley
and thinner were the batteries. The Infants
made IL hits and l error, and Philadelphia
hits and error
The Giants administered parting dose to
the Ansonians, the score being 8 to 3. The
game was poorly played. and Chicago lost be-
cause OF their inability to bat at the right time
WEIGH and Ewing, and Dwyer and Farrell were
the batteries. New York made hits and 6
errors, and Chicago hits and errors.
There were no association games played yes
terday.
Five straight games. This makes strange
music, but sweet.
The Senators will be doing well enough to
win one out of three games with Cleveland
The Senators have their eyes on the ball now
adays, as the record of 90 hits in nine games
attests.
Daley. who made his league debut in Boston
yesterday, is from Jersey CITY,
MIR. Curry has reached town at last and did
good work yesterday
The base ball public IN this city ought to be
ashamed of itself. Here the home team. built
up and strengthened at great cost on the part
of enterprising citizens, is winning ball at great
rate, and yet the audiences average less than
800 game. Such playing in New York or Bos-
ton would attract fully 5000 people a day.
Here 1000 would be about right.
Mack has made l6 hits in the last nine games.
There Is trouble in the Indianapolis team.
resulting from lack of funds wherewith to
pay salaries Rumors were rife yesterday that
the club had been disbanded and then came
word that the league would run the team along.
The hoosiers were pretty near striking in Bos-
ton Tuesday night when President Brush tele-
graphed them that the treasury was empty.
