How the Washingtons Received Their
Eleventh Defeat Yesterday.

Eleventh Defeat Yesterday.
| The Senator's los. yesterdays game to the
| Hoosiers, 4 to 1, although they made more base
hits than their opponents. The batteries were
| Haddock and Ebright, and Boyle and Myers.
| Haddock pitched good game, one that de-
| served much better support, striking out six
men. The visitors were fortunate in punching
| their hits in the second inning. and won the
game right there. On the other hand the Sena-
| torlal hits were widely scattered and availed
| nothing, except in the second, when, with two
men out, Sweeny and Mack each hit for base
Achance was then given to retire the side when
Upright banged the ball to Glasscock. but
Hines muffed the throw and Sweeny scored
Upright stole second by virtue of a chump
play OF Hines. and hopes were very high for
| more runs. Haddock, however was not equal
| to the occasion, and hit to Bassett, being re-
| tired at first. Had he hit safely the game
might have resulted differently. In the visitors
half Denny hit for base and Sullivan sent the
ball cracking out to the left center fence for
two bases. The ball was felded in quickly and
Myers had it in good time to cut the runner
off at the plate, but he held it and Denny scored
A wild pitch sert Sullivan to third and Mecca
chy struck out. Myers was given his base
on balls moment later he started down for
second and Ebright lined the ball to Sam Wise,
who at that moment ran to the west. The ball
went sailing out to left and Sullivan scored
Had Wise not run. or had Ebright thrown more
accurately the chances are that this run would
have been prevented. Bassett hit safely and
Myers scored while Bassett was being run
down between first and second. Wise's bad
throw to Morrill, gave Boyle his base and a
wild pitch sent him to third, but Seery struck
out.
LOST OPPORTUNITY.
1t looked as though the Senators were going
to score themselves in the third, when How
made clean base hit, but the chances were
spoiled when he tried to steal and was thrown
out Shoch was hit by pitched ball, and then
Myers was struck out without hitting at ball.
and Wise flied to Seery. The only other run of
the game was made in the visitors half Glass
cock hit to Sweeny who made pretty stop but
threw badly. The runner stole second and
went to third on Hines sacrifice. Ebright had
his eye on him and caught him mapping. lining
the ball to Sweeny. He fumbled a moment
and Glasscock started home. He was an easy
victim, but Sweenv threw wild to Ebright and
the run scored. The next two men went
out. In the fifth with Ebright out Haddock and
Hoy hit safely. ShOch lined one to Glasscock
and forced Hoy at second. He stole base
but Myers hit to Glasscock and was out at first,
spelling two runs at least. The Hoosiers had
been going out in order since the third until
the seventh. when. with two out, Bassett
reached third on Wise's error and wild pitch.
Mack. however, made a very pretty catch of
Boyles fly and shut off the run. Shoch hit for
base in the eighth but was turned down in
trying to stretch it into two bases, for which he
had no show at all. The Senators could not
pull themselves together and lost on account
of that fatal second inning. They made hits
and errors. while the Hoosiers made hits
and error. Beyond Hines muff they played
perfect game of ball.

NOTES.
The trouble yesterday was that the Hoosiers
punched their hits and the Senators didn't.
The former earned two Drums and the latter one.
Boston is still in the lead, but the other six
teams-not including Washington-are very
close ON her heels.
John MorrilFs base hit yesterday was some
what OF a disappointment to a certain coterie
engaged in strenuous efforts to break his popu-
larity in Washington.
There can be no doubt that with Wimot and
Carney on yesterdays team the score might
have been different. Shoch fails to fill Will
mot place In the one important particular Of
his base running although he is batting hard.
The Interior department team defeated the
War department baseball club yesterday at
the arsenal by score IA to 10. Battery for
Interior. Merrell, Ryan and Hoffman; for War,
Butler, Weely and Wendall
