IN THE FIRST INNING.
The Senators Defeat the CIevelands by
Score Of to1-Other Games.


A streak Of bad playing, sandwiched in be-
tween some lucky batting, gave the ladder
climbing Senators an easy victory in Cleveland
yesterday. The score was 8 to 1, all Of the runs
Of the victors being made in the first inning.
They had the game in the basket from the
start, and with lead of eight settled down to
an almost successful effort to prevent the oppo-
nents from tallying. Haddock and DAILY and
Bakely and Snyder werc the batteries. Had
docks work was beautiful, and ha d
he not eased down after there was no
more use for his gilt-edge pitching
he would probably have shut the Infants out
His support was perfect and the league In
miserable game in contrast. Although the case
Of rattles that seized the Clevelands lasted but
during the first inning 1t was enough to lose
the game and to render useless all the
fl fins work work.. they did afterwards Twelve
bat in the first inning. Hoy and
Wilmot each went to first on balls, scoring on
Beecher's sacrifice and wise's single. Arthur
Irwin hit to left and Wise scored on Twitchelrs
error. Brother John was hit by the ball and
stole second, Capt Arthur filling third. Then
DAILY tried to sacrifice and on Stricker's error
Arthur scored the fourth run. Daily scored on
similar play by Carney and an error by Gilks,
who was playing first. Carney stole second
and reached third on the bad throw. After
Haddock had struck out, Hoy. Wilmot, and
Beecher hit safely and Hoy tailed the eighth
run OF the inning.
THEIR ONLY ERROR.
In the fifth Radford made a single, went to
second on wild pitch and scored on hits by
Snyder and Bakely. This wild pitch was the
only error of the Senator'S. Wise made two
singles, and Hoy, Wilmot, Beecher, Arthur
Irwin, DAILY and Carney each one.
Three pretty double plays were executed by
the Statesmen, the Irwins, Wise and Carney
participating.
Washington made hits and errors and
Cleveland 8 hits and error.
OTHER LEAGUE GAMES

Smoky City team, to 3, by punching their

and Buffinton and Clements were the batteries.
Philadelphia made hits and errors and Pitts
burg hits and errors
New York pulled away from Chicago in ten
inning game by the score Of 10 to g. Chicago

dition of things in the Boston ranks and easily
defeated the league leaders by the score of 8

errors, and Indianapolis II hits and errors.
ASSOCIATION GAMES
At Coiumbus-Columbus A, Brooklyn 8; at
elphia-Athletics 8, Baltimore O.
Pittsburg is our victim now, the Hoosiers
having pulled out into sixth place. The Sena-
tors ought to get two of the three games in the
Smoky city.
The results Of yesterdays games closed the
gap between the Giants and the Beaneaters.
Haddock is doing better than any of the other
league pitchers just at present.
Beecher makes hit Just about when il is
wanted. If a sacrifice will do any good he sac
rifces in way that shows he is playing more
Tor the sake OF his club than his record.
