When the home ball team get a hold of
anything like marks they make as much of
it as possible Mercy is not their quality
at periods of that kind, but they bang
away between life and death as if another
opportunity would never come again. Yes
terday the Senators were knocked down
and jumped on; not only jumped on, but
pulverized as if they had been underneath
a forge hammer. Mr.. Ferson will probably
have quite vivid recollections of the oc-
casion as he was numerically battered out
of the box. There was slaughter and 40
mistake.
The weather was extremely threatening and
not more than 200 or 800 people were present
What the crowd lacked in numbers, however.
they made up in enthusiasm. There was plenty
of inducements for the spectators to become
excited, the most prominent being Miller's
home run hit over the left field fence. The
midget as a home run hit is becoming some
thing of chestnut His hit yesterday, how
ever, was made when two men were on bases.
This feature is unusual as our big thumps have
generally been made with nobody on the bases.
Outside the batting there were some inter-
esting features in the game. One of the most
noticeable was the remarkable base running Of
Sunday.
SUNDAYS SLICK WORK.
The game opened as if it was going to be
very close and clean one, and Sunday COM
menced by taking the most daring chances.
Rowe and White played well, and Calvin
pitched a very good game. There was little or
no confidence in the old sport winning but he
deceived everybody by his effective speed and
curves
1t is long time since a more yellow game
was put up in this city thai that of the Sena-

worse and there was some excuse for the col
lapse of Ferson. In the sixth inning six runs
we're made and not one of them was earned.
Up to that point Ferson pitched good game,
but he seemed to become careless: so much so
that he ought to have been called down once or
twice. Mack made only a moderate show be-
hind the bat and was sadly of in his throwing
to bases.
Sunday started the game quite briskly. He
hit liner into middle field for base, and.
aided by passed ball, stole second. He went
to third : passed ball and scored on Car
rolls long fly to Hoy. After two men were
out in the third inning. Sunday reached first
on a wild throw by John Irwin. He stole sec
ond and then pilfered third and scored on a
wild throw by Mack to third. Carroll got his
base on balls, but Rowe went out at first.
Runs became plentiful in the fifth inning.
Deacon led of and banged out nice single to
ney's wild throw to second of Dunlap's
crounder Calvin struck out and Dunlap
stole second. Sunday then knocked the ball
to Ferson an d the latter threw wild to first
and Dunlap and White scored, Sunday reach
ing third on the mistake.
MILLER's BIG HIT.
Carroll then thumped out a good single to
middle and Sunday scored. Rowe got first on
q tumble by Wise and then the midget loomed
up. He got himself set as if intending to knock
something like the pyramids over. He hit the
ball and hit it hard. 1t was exceedingly hit and
went sailing over the left field fence amid tre-
mendous cheers. Beckley and Kuehne were
each put out at first.
White again led off when the sixth inning
was started The old man evidently had his
eye on the ball, as he banged it out again into
center field. Dunlap's sacrifice advanced
White a base and Calvin cracked out a scratch
single between first and second bases. Sunday
hit to left for base and White got home, Gal
win getting to third Carroll got his customary
base on balls and the bases were full. Rowe
then let people know of his existence by send
ing out a corker for three bases to center field.
Miller raped out single TO left and Rowe
scored. Miller stole second and Beckley con-
tinued the terrific fusilade by sending out a
single to left and Miller got home. kuebne
he W out to Hoy and the Deacon reappeared at
the plate for the second time during the in
ming.
THE FESTIVE OLD SPORT
banged out a two-bagger to left, sending Beck
ley to third. Dunlap, however, ended the big
inning by going out at first.
The humping received by Ferson during
the inning was so great that he was retired to
the bench spd Sullivan went in to pitch IN the
seventh inning and did very well. Only two
hits were made off him. One was a lucky two
bagger by Calvin and the other a single by
Sunday. In the ninth inning. with White out,
Dunlap got his base on balls, reached second
on Galvin's sacrifice hit and stole third. Sun
days hit to right field sent the run home.
The visitors made their first after two men
were out. Beecher reached first on the out of
Hoy and G OF to third on singles by Wise and A.
Irwin The bases were now full and ]. Irwin
knocked grOunder to Dunlap, who hesitated
with the ball in his hand long enough TO allow
]. Irwin to reach first, and Beecher scored. In
the second inning Carney led of with single
hit and Ferson reached first on tumble by
White. Two sacrifice hits sent Carney home.
After two men were out in the sixth inning
Carney got his base on balls and so did Ferson.
A wild throw of Miller's advanced Carney to
third. Hoy then knocked out a double to
center and Carney scored. Following is the.
