How Washington Was Defeated by
Chicago-Other Games.
WHAT THE WASHINGTON CLUB IS DoISG--A FAIR
wEEK's wORK-srUPID BASE RUNNING AN
OBSTACLE TO sUccEss-NoTEs OF THE pIA-
MoSp.
The Senators and Anson's men played a very
interesting game Of ball yesterday up to the
Latter half of the eighth inning. when the
visitors proceeded to bat the ball right and
left, and continued the process until eight men
had crossed the plate. This inning alone would
have won the game, but as they had already
made three rms the final score stood II to L.
1t was a nip-and-tuck fight from the start to
that Waterloo of an inning, and then it was
very much one sided. The Statesmen had played
apretty good game in the field up to that point
and then they helped the thing along little by
getting somewhat ratified and making errors.
The batteries were Healy and Mack and Krock
and Farrell. The former were effective until
the last. but the Statesmen could not solve
hrocks delivery except in small spots. His
slow, drop ball was very fatal and he showed
great skill and headwork with men on bases.
-Four Statesmen were left on third. Aside
from the streak of batting in the end the Sena-
tors jeopardized their chances of success
greatly by their base-runnlng, which was
that of the two DAYS previous. There is strong
need apparent for better coaching system.
HOW IT WAS DONE.
The home team started out well, making one
run in the first. Hoy hit safely and stole Sec
ond and third. Shoch reached first on balls
and stole second. Myers hit to the infield and
Shoch ran to third, forcing Hoy out needlessiy.
Wise sacrificed to right and Shoch scored. In
the second Sweeny reached first on Glass
cocks error and was advanced base by
Mack's sacrifice. Ebright's hit drove him
in. Then Healy banged the ball to Pfeffer
who fumbled it, Ebright played SO far
off second that he was caught The
Arson went to first on balls and was forced
by Pfeffer. Farrell hit the ball hard and
Pfeifer scored. Farrell tried to make three
Dagger out OF the hit. and succeeded. with the
aid of the umpire, who declared him safe. The
decision WAS very questionable one. Burns
hit safely and Farrell scored. Anson's aggre-
CATION pulled one ahead in the fourth. Duffy
hit for two base, Arson sacrificed. and then
Pfeffer hit "A single, scoring Duffy. The crowd
was ON the ragged cage OF nervousness, but the
home team could not score until the seventh
Sweeny went out on a fly to Burns. who
made a beautiful each. Mack hit safely
and Ebright was struck Arson and
Barnum held a long parley over the
ACCESSIBILITY of letting him take his base. but
the little man held to his decision and finally
prevailed over the big man, to the great amuse-
ment of the crowd. Healy sacrificed to Arson
and then Hoy hit safely and Mack came ill., ty-
ing the score. Shoch could not bring Ebright
IN and flied out to right. Then in the eighth
with Myers out, Wise was given life by Krock's
error and stole second. MOrrilrs strike out
which had to be concluded at first base ad-
vanced sam to third, and he scored on Sweeny's
beautiful two-bagger to left field fence that
came being a home run Mack hit to
Burns. who fumbled the bali long enough to
let Sweeny get around'to third, and there he
caught him trying to get home.
MORE srUPID BASE RUNNING.
The score was 4 to 8, but it did not remain so
long. The eight runs were made by means of
singles by Van Haltren and Duffy. a double by
Duffy, triples by Ryan, Arson and Pfeffer. sac
rifces by Burns and Gumbert. base on
balls. and errors by Sweeny. Morrill, and Myers
The Senators braced up just little in the
ninth and got man as far as third. but he
could not score. Ebright hit safely and went
to second on Healy's fly out to left How was
