TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF
How the Washingtons Won Yesterday
Other Ball Games.

hoW the WasnlngtOns w on Yesterday
Other Ball Games.
The Senators achieved the feat Of max
ing less hits and more errors than their OPP
ponents and yet winning yesterday. The
score was: Washington, 4; Chicago, g. The
result came from fortunate punching OF
the hits Of the home team and a couple
of timely bases on balls, which produced
runs. The batteries were Person and DAILY
and Hutchinson and Farrell. Mccoy ap-
peared at second and showed up in a promis-
ing manner. Days work behind the bat was
of an order calculated to arouse the greatest
enthusiasm, and when he shut off a run at the
plate by making high jump and a one-hand
catch Of ball felded in by Hoy the audience
fairly hovled Carney's work at first was beau
tiful and had il not been for his neat handling
of half dozen singing balls that cut over to
him the game would have resulted differently.
But the honors of the day belong to Sam Wise,
who was about the only man who solved Hutch
inson's curves He faced the box four times,
was given first once on balls, and hit safely
every other time. 1t was his third hit, a
smashing three-bagger, that won the day.
SNAP AND VIM.
The home team played with a style remind
ing one of the snap of a frecracker. The con-
test was all start and go from beginning to
emu. ana the enthusiasm OF the ratner spare
crowd kept growing as the tide of victory
rolled onward. until the excitement in the last
inning intense. The fielding on both sides
was clean and pretty, barring a couple of FUN
bles by the third-basemen and a brace of mis-
takes by Irwin. One of these was the muff of
a straight, high fly from Farrell's bat that
counted for nothing, and the other tumble of
hot liner that let in a run. Days throwing
TO second was pretty good, and Ryan was the
only man who succeeded in stealing success
fully.
THE GAME.
Washington started the game by going out in
regular one-two-three order before the prowess
of Ansons colts boy fouled out as a starter,
and wilmot followed suit Carney ended the
inning py being called out on strikes.
Ryan hit to Irwin in the Chicagos' opening
inning and was put out at first and Carney re-
tired Van Haltren on grounder to first. Wise
made a bad throw to Carney, giving Duffy a
life. No runs resulted, because Duffy was
thrown out in attempting to steal second.
In the Senator's second inning Wise drove a
pretty single to right center and scored on Ir-
wins beautiful hit to the clubhouse The new
captain foolishly attempted to make home run
out of three-base hit and failed. Mack went
out from Pfeffer to Arson, and red-headed Nc
Coy struck out
For Chicago the big Swede fouled out to
Carney and Pfeffer drove a high Nv which
Mccoy ought to have got under. but he didn't
and let the ball drop in the field. because he
thought Irwin had called Mack to take il. Ir-
win will have to distinguish between the Hart
ford eatchers cognomen and the first half of the
third baseman's name. Pfeffer went to third
on Days passed ball and scored on Farrelrs
sacrifice.
The Senators went out on easy chances in
third Inning and Hutchinson and Bastian, for
Chicago, made easy putouts. Ryan, the third
batter. got in a single to the right, stole second
and went to third on Van Haltren's bounder
which was too much for Person to hold Van
sneaked to second, but his partner on third
was put out by a clever piece of headwork by
Days throw to Wise on third.
There was nothing remarkable in the Wash
ington's half of the third inning and no runs
were scored, although Wise made his second
hit
Arson opened up his half of the fourth with
pretty twO-baser right along the left foul line
was advanced a base on Pfeffer's sacrifice and
his own slide, and scored on an error by Irwin
of Farrelfs hit TO short The inning ended
with fly by Burns to the mute at center.
Score-Chicago, 9; Washington. 1.
The Senators won the game in the 9th. How
and Wilrnot went to bases on balls and Wise hit
for the third time. The ball went among the
canvas IN a corner by the club house. and HOY
and Wimot had scored and Sam was on third
when the yelling stopped Then Irwin drove
one at Bastaln, who made his only error and
let Wise score the winning run. Arthur stole
and went to third on Mack's sacrifice. but could
not score. Folks hardly felt safe and were in
clined to be dOwE-hearted when. in the 7th
two hits and an error, reinforced by lust mo-
ment of rattle, gave the visitors one run. One
man was put out at the plate and another at
third Hoy's sharp fielding and Daly's steadi-
ness kept the score down. Wilmot ended the in
ming by making great catch of Ryans short iy
Thenceforth there were runs made. sharp
fielding preventing any one from getting by
second. though two men we're given first on
balls. Arson lost his temper in the ninth ON
two decisions by Lynch. He kicked on a called
strike-for about the fourth time. and Lynch
admonished him that IL he did not stop talking
he would tax him SIS, whereat Arson relapsed
into a sullen half-silence. Washington made 4
hits and errors and Chicago 6 hits and 2
errors.
