IhE RACE Fok THE CHAMPIONSHIP PENNANr-
THE WORK OF THE HOME TEAM-xorEs OF THE
BALL FIELD.
For twelve innings yesterday afternoon the
Senators and the Phillies tried to get the best
Of each other in game of ball. and failed, for
at the end Of the twelfth Umpire Curry called
the game with the score standing 2 to 2. In
this Umpire Curry was very kind, but he ought
to have been kind, for il it had not been for his
blindness q run would have been scored for
Washington earlier in the game that would
have given the Senators the victory. In fact,
viewed in a Washington light, and indeed the
light Of justice, the Senators wero deliberately
robbed of the game through a trick, although
the umpire probably did not see it.
1t was a close, interesting contest, con-
trasting with the game of Thursday when
everything was one sided. Keefe and DAILY
and Sanders and Schriver were the batteries,
faring about equally well. Both pitchers inn
plenty of brilliant plays and the fielding gen.
orally was of a good order. Beecher reap
peared on first and Mack in right field. Dele
. hanty played left for Philadelphia, making a
played there on Thursday. Arthur Irwin
played q magnificent game at short, accept
ing all OF his 16 chances.
THE SCORES.
Each team scored in the first inning and
again in the second, and after that not a tally
was made on either side. The game started
out as though it was going to be q smuggling
match, full Of hits, runs and errors, but the
spectators who hoped for this were disap-
pointed. Washington's first run was made by
Sam Wise, who went to first on balls, to second
on Hoy's hit, and scored on Beecher's rafting
two-bagger into left, after Wilmot had flied
out to Fogarty. Hoy tried to get in on the hit
but was thrown out at the plate by means of
Delehanty's quick return Of the ball. Arthur
Irwin flied out to Mailman, leaving Beecher on
second. In the Phillies' half Delehanty
hit for base, and went to second on Sanders
sacrifice to John Irwin. Capt Arthur stopped
Myers hit neatly, but it could not be felded
in time, giving Delehanty third, be scoring on
Thompson's single. Mulvey flied out to
Wilmot and Fogarty to Mack, who made
beautiful catch.
In the second, after John Irwin had gone out
at first. Daily hit smart single into left and
stole second. Keefe struck out and Mack hit
safely for base. scoring DAILY. Mack soon
after stole second, but Sam Wise fouled out to
Mulvey. The visitors tied the score in their
half and might have won the game but for
hard luck. Fogarty made a scratch hit to Keefe
and was thrown out in an effort to steal. Far
rar made clean single into right that Mack
fielded up so smartly that the runner bad hard
work to make his base safely. He then sue
ceeded in purloining second and Mailman flied
to Wilmot. Keefe gave Delehanty four bad
balls and Sanders raped one out into left field,
Wiimot fumbhng il just long enough to let
Farrar score. Then Myers went out from John
Irwin to Beecher.

Then ensued see-saw Of zeros, each team
almost scoring several times, but failing by
mere scratches. In the third Hoy reached
first on a scratch hit and went to second on
Wilmots sacrifice, but Beecher and Arthur
Irwin flied out. After Arthur had made two
neat catches of flies from Thompson's and
Mulvey's bats Schriver hit the ball out for two
bases, but Fogarty popped one up to Beecher
break. Brother John and Daily had flied out.
when Keefe reached first on his smashing hit
to Farrar too hot to handle. Mack was hit ON
the arm by pitched ball and took base.
Keefe was playing half way to third when Sam
Wise raped the ball into right field and George
cut for home, as he passed third

and held him for at least two seconds and when
Keese slid over the plate schriver had touched
him with the ball Just in time. It was a de-
hberate robbery. Curry said he did not see
the play on third, and refused to allow the run,
although there is not the slightest doubt that
Washington was entitled to il.
The Senators were mad when they went into
