Victorious Senators.

THEY CAPTURE BALL GAME FROM BALTIMORE IN
GOOD STYLE.
The dampening effect which the failure of
the Ward deal has had on the Washington base
ball public was somewhat relieved yesterday
afternoon by the victory of the Senators over the
Baltimore team by the score of 8 to s. The re-
suit was accomplished in the presence of quite
a large crowd, and, despite the fact that rain
interrupted the contest several times. the game
was played to a finish Washington made 9 hits
and errors, to 10 hits and errors BY the
Orioles. The Senators had good luck in bunch
ing their hits, and their field work was on the
whole, excellent. Hoy did the best work on
the team, making two hits, two runs. and steal
ing three bases, without an error Wilmot
also made a couple of hits. but he made a
couple of errors in his field Carnley did
good work at first. but did not
hit the ball safely. Persons work in the box
was very good, giving but two bases on balls
Mack's backstopping was in his old style. and
he also made couple of safe hits. Sweeny
played short ana made record of / run. / hit
put-Outs, assists and / error Donnelly
played third two innings. and in the second
made fine double play unassisted. Then. his
arm being sore, he retired i'll favor of Ebright
whose work won great praise. He made hit
and reached some difficult balls, making one
error out of seven chances.
