SEVEN GOOSE EGGS.
But Good Game Of Base Ball on Satur-
day-In Other Cities.

I ~
day-In Other Cities.
Washington struck its unlucky seventh cipher
on Saturday in a close sharp game with Bos-
ton, the score being to 2. The victory of the
visitors was due to the magnificent work of
| Clarkson in the box with Bennett to hold him,
and although men reached the bases quite fire.
quently his great headwork prevented their
scoring, as he struck out the succeeding batters
or forced them to hit to the infield. Person
and Mack were all that could be desired and
the youngster showed up right alongside Of
Ciarkson IN most encouraging manner. Had
he been supported equally well with the Bos-
tonian he would have won the game.
Morrill, and Wise made the only err
rors for Washington. Morrilrs was a
LIT. sharp grounder that did not
rise from the turf, and went between his feet
and hands with scarcely diminished force.
| Morrill, did not get down to it quick enough.
Mlse's error WAS bad muf of a ball thrown by
Mack when Brouthers was caught mapping off
second base. Boston scored twice in the first
on Morrill's error. Richardson's three-bagger,
and Brouther's hit for a brace of bags. They
made their final tally in the fourth on base on
balls, GUMS single hit and Benefits two
Dagger. The Senators scored in the third
VIXEN Hoy hit for base, Shoch went to first on
balls. Carney forced Shoch out at second. and
Wise sacrificed himself at first close decision
while Hoy scored. Then in the fifth Hoy took
the whitewash from the leftfoul line and reached
second ON the hit. Shoch made single and
Hoy scored when Shoch made a dash for second
and was thrown out by Bennett. After this the
game was one large goose egg for both sides.
and although the Statesmen had two men on
bases in the eighth and two more in the ninth,
ClGrkson struck out men at the proper time,
including HOY at the last. and they could not
score. Washington made hits and 2 errors
and Boston hits and l error. Hoy made of
the hits by the home team, two singles and a
double.
CARSEYs HIT.
Mr.. McQuade was very much off at times in
his calling of balls and strikes, but he did well
enough on base plays. He made questionable
decision in the third that probably lost the
game to the home team. Hoy was on second
and Shoch on first. Carney banged the ball
hard. and it hit the right foul line just at the
fence; at least so it appeared to the grand
stand spectators. Hoy scored. Shoch was on
third. and Carney on second before the ball
was returned, but McQuade called them back
and announced that the ball was foul

Boston again to-day and then no more games
here until next Monday, when the Hoosiers
will begin series of four games. In the mean
time the Senators play four games in Philadel-
phia.

ably net handsome sum to Mr.. Hewett, as he
is to receive half of the gate receipts.
A howl has gone forth for Morrill, to relegate
himself to the bench. play DOnnelly at third,
and secure Andrews from Philadelphia. 1t

Hewett pays Morrill, large sum manager

would willingly take the job OFF his shoulders

THE HOME TEAM

box this afternoon. II he does as well as his

Washington club can be congratulated on pos

The STAR believes in allowing the manager
of ball club to manage his men. feeling conf
dent that he IS better judge of bail players
and ball playing than either newspaper re-
pOrters or grand stand enthusiasts. In the
opinion OF many good judges. however. it is
not unlikely that Manager Morrill, will eventu-
ally realize the necessity of returning to his
old position at first and placing Sweeny. or
Donelly. or somebody else at third. Donelly is
not coming ball player. Sweeny very likely
is. At least such men as Arson and Harry Wright
think so. The former has offered $500 for his
release. and the latter has offered Andrews for
Sweeny and $1,000 bonus. Notwithstanding
the popularity of O'Brien it may be that he will
have to go to indianapolis or Louisville, both
of whom need first baseman, that is if Morrill,
returns to first base. Carney seems to have
found another place in right field.
He is unqueStionably ball player.
vice to Manager Morrill,, but simply to let
people know what other people are talking
about. Morrill, and Wise both feel very down
hearted because they have not done more to
benefit the home team. 1t is probably
because of their over anxiety that they have
not succeeded Washington will wait patiently
though, feeling that they will soon strike a win
ming gait.
