THE RESULTS OF THE TWO GAMES HERE YEsrER-
DAY-PHILADELPHrA AND WASHINGTON DIVIDE
THE HoNoRs-rHE NEW PLAYERS OF EHE HOME
TEAM-eAMEs ELSEWHERE.
| The Senators and the Phillies were generous
enough yesterday to divide up between them,
and each took game. By this means the for
mer reached seventh place and the latter held
their own in the league race. The home teams
| turn came first. and the score was to g. The
| game was to have been called at $50, but the
| rain that was falling at that time caused a
| postponement until about 315. when play was
| begun In the presence of an audience of 500
| people. The game was won by the Senatorial
aggregation in the first inning, when bit of
bunch of hits brought in three runs After
that all the home club had to do was to keep
| out of reach by scoring whenever their oppo-
nents scored. and this they were able to do
| with ease. The batteries were Person and
| Mack, and Sanders and Schriver Sam Wise
| played in right field and distinguished himself
at the bat. Sanders was picnic for the tall
enders who batted him almost at will.
They started IN at the beginning and con-
| tinued to pound him until three runs were
chalked on the fence. In the first inning the
Senators made hits, Hoy, Myers. Wise, and
| Sweeny for singles, while passed ball and
| Fogarty's tumble helped matters along Then
| in the second the Phillies scored on Farrar's
! double and Hallman's single. and folks began
| to think that perhaps the lead was not long
| enough. To reassure them the home team
scored two more runs that were not at all nee
| essary. Myers hit to center field for base
| and then Morrill, banged the ball so hard that
before it could be returned he had reached
third base and Myers had scored. while the
| bleachers rose as one man and expressed
their appreciation in audible tones. r.
win contributed to the general enthusiasm
| by knocking out single and Morrill, came in
| Nothing more was done until the sixth. when
Fogarty made hit, and Wood and Ward
| sacririced so that a run was scored. This was
| sufficient provocation for the home team to
| score the last run of the game in the seventh
and so Wilmot waited for four balls and Wise
| hit for two bases. sending Walter to third
| Myers found the ball for base. and Wimot
! scored. Although the visitors put a man on
the bags in each of the following innings, they
| could not rise to the occasion of a hit hard
enough to score. and the game went to Wash
! ington. where it was badly needed. The Sena-
| tors made IA hits and errors, and the Philles
hits and errors. Phil Baker umpired this
game and did well. as usual. Washington had
| 8 men left on bases and Philadelphia 4. Hoy
and FOgarty led the batting with a triple and
two singles EACH Wise made double and two
| singles, and Myers three singles. Morril Sc
| cured triple and single, and every other
man on the team but Wilmot and Ferson hit
safely.
THE SECOND GAME.
The grounds had filled up pretty well when
the first game ended and when, about ten min
utes later, Umpire Curry called play there
were over 1000 people on the grounds Carney
| was put down for left field in place of Wilmot
and the batteries were Haddock and Ebright
and Casey and Schriver. The Statesmen lost
! this game by the scure of to through bad
fielding on the part of Myers and Sweeny. who
had bad case of rattles along with Ebright in
the fifth inning that allowed the visitors to
score three times. Casey was wild, sending
nine men to first on balls. but he proved suf-
ficiently effective when the bases were full to
prevent hits being made on more than one i'm
portant occasion. Had Pitcher Haddock been
properly supported the score of the
visitors would have been about two
runs. and had not Sam Wise and
Arthur Irwin been too reckless on
the bases the Senatorial score might have been
team pulled themselves together bravely after
their decentralization in the middle of the
game, and made good uphill fight to the
finish. Neither side scored until the fourth
inning. when Washington made 1 and Phila-
delphia 2. With Sweeny out Morrill, went to
first on balls and Irwin was safe on Mulvey's
error. Ebright flied out to Fogarty. and Had
dock filled the bases by making a safe hit. Mr.
Casey then presented the home team with
run by giving Hoy first on balls, forcing Nor
rlll In. Carney was in a good way to do the
same thing, having three balls and / strike
when Irwin made a foolish dash for the plate,
and was put out within foot of the goal In
the visitors half Sam Thompson made a
over into the coal yards for a home
run. In the next, after two were out Myers
threw Fogartys hit so badly that the runner
was safe. and then Wood banged the sphere to
the clubhouse for three bases, and scored on
Wards neat little hit over Twins head. With
this lead of three runs the visitors felt encour-
aged and proceeded in the sixth to take adj
vantage OF some very yellow work by Ebright,
Myers, and Sweeny, aided by base on balls.
There were four errors, two by Myers and two
passed balls. and three runs resulted. winning
the game for the Phillies. They stopped scor-
ing then, with long enough lead to rest easy.
The home team scored i'll each inning following,
one In the seventh, one in the eighth, and two
in the ninth The first one was the result of
two bases on balls, sacrifice by Carney and
Sweeny's hit. With the bases full Irwin struck
out. In the eighth base on balls. apassed ball,
and HOys hit scored run. In the ninth Null
vev could not handle Myers hit-the first one
he hit, for Casey had given him his base four
times in successlon-and Ward let Sweeny's hot
drive roll up him and out into the field Then
Morrill, and Irwin flied out the latter to Thomp-
son, so that Myers scored Ebright placed a
neat hit into left field that enabled Sweeny to
| strike at nothing three times and the game was
over. Washington had twelve men left on
bases, three of them at third, while Philadel-
phia was satisfied with having five base-runners
disappointed.
In the last game Washington made hits and
: errors and Philadelphia hits and errors.
