mainly through the kindness Of Mr.. staley,
whose Wild pitches and bases on balls were of
immense service to the home team in getting
around the bases. The Washingtons also
showed that they have not forgotten how to
hit the ball. and most Of their hits were
extremely timely. The Burgers outbatted
them, however. and would undoubtedly have
won but for Staley's very ragged work in the
box The visiting team was entirely re-
arranged from the day before, Beckley playing
at first, White at third, Maui in left and Smith
in right. The change proved advantageous,
for the men named put up game that deserved
better success. Smith showed his value by
making three hits and getting safely to first the
other two times he batted, on errors, thus
making the rather remarkable record of having
reached first ten times in two games. The
Senators also played sharp game. showing up
IN much better shape than on Monday Sweeney
