SAM WISE As HonE-RUS HrrrER-THE RACE
FoR THE cHAnPIoNsHIP-NoTxs OF THE BALL
FIELD.
Every league club but Pittsburg and Chicago
won game of ball Saturday, and one of them
took'two. The local team satisfied itself with
winning the last game which the Pittsburg
we're scheduled to play here this season, the
score being 10 to Z. The grounds were hardly
ii shape for playing, being soft and slippery,
but the presence of about thousand of people
on the grounds made playing necessary. The
Pitfsbug men wanted to leave during the
morning, but the local managers thought it
best 70 hold them. Considering the state OF
the field the play was remarkably sharp, but
the base running was something funny and was
really all that saved the contest from being dull
The hitting was hard and continuous, Wash
hston winning by means Of three good punches
OF SAFE drives that gave them lead to start
with which was never overtaken. The batteries
were kesfe and DAILY and Staley and Carroll.
keefe showed a tendency to give men bases on
bkhls ut times, but he managed to strike out
eight men at opportune times and, with the IN
valuable aid Of Day, kept the visitors
guessing most of the time. Clark appeared at
short in place Of Capt. Arthur Irwin, and, be-
yond combined tumble and wild throw IN
the first inning played beautiful game.
Beecher led the team in batting, with three
singles, and sam Wise came in a close second,
with a single and a four-bagger. Hoy, Wilmot
and DAILY each made two singles, Mack double
and Clark a single. Beckey found the ball for
a couple Of singles and double.
THE GAME.
Contrary to the usual custom the home team
took the field first. Pittsburg scored one on
Clark's error, Rowe's sacrifice, wonderfully
stopped by Mack with his dainty glove, and
Buckley s-two Dagger. This much of a
lead as the visitors ever obtained, for in the
latter half of the inning the home team did
some pretty batting and made four runs. John
Irwin reached hrst on Staley's tumble. Hoy hit
for a base, Nlmot sacrificed and Beecher's
Single scored Brother John. Then, with Hoy
OF third and Beecher on second, Wise made one
OF his high lifters that dropped over the right
field fenee and cleared the bases. The second
inning was unproductte and the third saw
htts6urg make two runs on singles to
center by Carroll and Beckley, one to
lsft by White, and Wilmofs wild
throw home. This put them within
one Of tie, but in the fifth some more scien-
ttnc batting gave the home team four more
talhes and the game. This was done by Hoy's
hit, passed ball. singles by Beecher, Wise and
DAILY and a two-bagger by Mack Then in the
sixth the visitors went at 1t again and crawled
Ip once more to a short distance in the rear,
rlakIng three scores, but they could not VIII,
for IN Washington's half the Senators added
two to their tally. Pittsburg made the last
run of the game in the seventh on base ON
balls, Fields two-base hit and Miller's single.
