cent game Of ball, won from Anson's men by
the score of to 1. The game was as near per-
feet as it could be made, both teams fielding
without an error, while brilliant plays abounded
on either side. The batteries were Person and
DAILY and Dryer and Farrell Mack played at
first and Beecher reappeared in matchmaking
the most marvellous catch seen here this year.
Everybody played to win, Arthur Irwin doing
some very fine work. Persons pitching was
not hard, but it was strategic, and with the
perfect support behind him he had no trouble
in retiring the men from Chicago with repu-
iarity until the ninth, when q scratch, double
ana single scored the only run Of the visitors.
WINNING THE aAMr.
Washington won the game in the first by
making two runs. John Irwin hunted ball

fair enough to let Brother John reach second in
safety. Then Hoy dropped another bunt in
front OF the plate and on the sacrifice John
went TO third, scoring when Wilmot caught q
twister on the end of his bat and made it hit
the right field fence, on which Walter himself
made three bases. He scored what was the
winning run when Beecher hit to Williamson
and sacrificed himself at first The visitors
could not get the ball past the ''stone wall" but
once in their half, and the second, third and
fourth innings saw no change in the score.
Arthur Irwin began the fifth with a single into

Williamson and touching home in safety when
his captain placed his third hit back Of third
base. Again in the seventh the home team
found the combination and scored the last run
Of their game. DAILY went to second on his hit
to the left field fence and to third on Persons
sacrifice to the pitcher, and Brother Johns
martyrdom enabled him to score. The visitors
chances for run in this inning were spoiled
by some brilliant work on the part of the Sena-
tors. Sam Wise made one of his grand-stand,
one-hand catches of a line fly over his head
from Dufy's bat and Arson struck out after
which Mack made wonderful catch of foul
from Pfeffer against the pickets.
After Washington had been retired in order
in the eighth Burns made Chicagos second hit,
a clean single into right, which he wanted to
make tw0-bagger. In doing 80 he encoun-

the right field fence. Everybody saw Beecher

to third saw Beecher suddenly look back over
his shoulder as he ran and then threw up his
left hand. The half darkness of the cor
ner prevented them from seeing, how
ever, for fully ten seconds, that he
had caught the ball, and when Ryan reached
third on what he was sure was a nice
three-base hit that might win the game he was
struck dumb by the news that he had been
caught out. 1t was just as we'll that he was
