THEY TRIED DUNNING.
The New Pitcher Did Fairly Well, but
Was wild,


Was wild.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
WASHINGTON, May 23.-The Washing
IONS won their first game from the Pitts
burgs by hitting the ball safely when men
were on bases President NimIck and
Manager Horace Phillips had short con-
sultstion before the game and they decided
to put Pitcher Dunning in against the Sena-
tors. He was quite wild at times, sending
ing seven men to bases on balls. The Sena-
tors were fortunate in placing their few hits
where they would do the most good. The
Pittsburgs gave Dunning fair support, but
they could not hit Fearson's peculiar deliv-
cry to any advantage.
The feature of the visitors playing was a
fly catch back of second by Sunday, after a
long run from deep left field. The ball should
have been taken by either Dunlap or Smith.
but they appeared afraid Of it.
SUNDAY DASHED IN
between them and secured the ball amid great
applause. Pittsburg scored its only run in the
second inning, when Carroll and Maui were
sent to base on balls. Carroll played well away
fl. N second Sase, and Umpire Fessenden who
was Judging the base plays stood Immediately
behind the bag. Connie Mack mistook the
umpire for Senator and threw the ball to
second, hoping to catch Carroll mapping. The
result was the ball went out to center field and
Carroll scored. Shoch cut of further run
getting in that inning by making difficult
catch of Dunlap's low fly to left field, and hold
ing Maui on third.
In the eighth the Pittsburgs came near scor-
ing again. Dunning hit to Wise, who stopped
the ball, but
SLIPPED IN THE MUD
and made wild throw to first Sunday
reached first on a clever bunt Wflmot cap
tured Hanlon's short fly behind third, and Beck
ley filed the bases on single to right Car
roll then popped up an easy fly to John Nor
rill, who made bluff at catching it, b It pur-
posely allowed the ball TO bound once. He
quickly fielded the ball to Mack at the plate,
forcing out Dunning and Mack threw to
Sweeney, doubling up Sunday at third The
play was made SO slick that the visitors were
nonplussed for the instant OF course John
Morrill, was the hero Of the hour.
The Senators took the lead at the jump, and
were never headed. Hoy went to base on balls,
stole second, and was advanced to third on
passed ball, and scored on Wilmot's single over
second. The latter stole second cleverly and
went to third on Shochs sacrifice but was put
out at the plate trying to score on Myers hit to
Kuehne. Wise hit safely over second.
SWEENEY CLEANED THE BASES
by long drive TO right field for two bases, but
he was thrown out while trying to stretch the
hit into three-bagger. The result was three
runs. Sweeney scored in the fourth on an
errer and single by Morrill,. In the fifth Will
mot and Shoch took first on balls: each stole
base and both scored on Myers single over
third.
Shoch's fielding was the feature of the Sena-
tors play. He threw Dunning out at first on
an apparently safe hit; besides. he made two
very difficult catches. Wilmot and Myers
divided the, batting honors and Morrill, did
great work at first Pearson, the Manchester
lad pitched magnificent game, holding the
Pittsburgers down TO three scratch hits, while
he struck out seven men. He was frequently
encouraged by cheers from the crowd, and he
deserved il, as he pitched with the skill Of
veteran. The score:
