wAsHINcToN's CRACK PITCHER-GAEEsI IN OTHER
CITIEs-THE CHAMPIONSHIP RECoRD-NoTEs
The Senators owe their defeat of yesterday
TO several causes: First to Staley's great pitch
ing when men were on bases; second. to their
miserable iHfcld work at critical moments and.
third, to their customary bad base-running II
is only just to Staley to characterize his work
in the box as excellent, for although he was
pounded very hard and very often. he showed
good judgment with men on bases and as a re-
suit five men were left on third. four on second
and two on first. He kept the hits of the home
team well scattered The final score was 9 to
2, but it should have been about IL to
in favor of Washington. The batteries were
Haddock and Mack. and Staley and Lauer.
Haddock did splendid work and deserved far
better support than he received. Shoch
played good game in right, taking in a diff
cult tiy after very long run. for which he re-
ceived great: applause. Hoy had but one
chance. which he accepted. Wilnot had no
chances. but he backed up Sweeny in great
shape, saving runs on two or three occasions.
Myers played his position in his usual style.
making three assists and two put-Outs. But
the rest of the inteld did very poorly. most of
their bad work coming in the seventh inning.
when two totally unnecessary runs were scored
by Pittsburg, settling the game in favor of the
visitors.
GOOD BATTING But NO LUCK.
The Senator's batted very hard and would.
under ordinary circumstances, have won with
ease. But their hoodoo was around some
where. and the luck all went the wrong way.
With men on bases the batsmel would be al
most sure to pop a foul fly that would be COB
bled In by kuehne, who had wonderful luck
throughout the game. He had eight put-Outs
and eight assists. On. with Haddock on third,
Myers lined one along toward left field which
the TeutOn captured neatly. HaddOck had
thought it Il safe hit and a pretty double play
resulted. Kuehne being unassisted. Again
Mack bored the air with ball that would
ordinarily have been safe. but kuchne doubled
himself around il and made a great one hand
catch. WilmOt flied out three times in success
sion to Kuehne on fouls. The bad luck fol-
lowed the home team clear mp to the last
inning. when with no one out the bases were
filled, and yet no one scored.
THE GAHE.
The rain that fell at about o'clock kept
many people away from the game. and there
were but about 1000 or 1,200 present. They
were very enthusiastic, however. and kept up a
pretty loud noise throughout the game. A
young man removed from the grounds
during the contest for betting ON the bleaching
boards. The Senators began work at once in
