Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1889-08-02


1t took ten innings for the Senators to defeat
the Beaneaters yesterday, but they managed to
do it in most exciting contest by the score d
3to2. 1t was anybody's game and the Sena-
tors put up a style of play that gave them a
sure mortgage on the victory at last. They
won because they hi. safely at the right time,
felded beautifully and put q sling and spring
into their work that forced even the league
leaders to succumb. Adversely, which over
Swallowed them little at the start, had only
the effect of inspiring them to better efforts,
and when they had tied the score in the
seventh they kept up their gait until, Il, the
| tenth. they Tailed the winning run. Haddock
| and DAILY and Garrison and Bennett were the
| batteries. At first Clarkson was invincible.
| His delivery was clear beyond the senatorial
guage, and with the exception of two separated
hits all the home team could do was to bat easy
ones to Richardson and stop running at first.
This lasted. for six innings, while the visitors
! were hitting Haddock quite frequently.
But the seventh saw Clarkson weaken slightly,
and the Statesmen jumped on him with all feet
and earned the victory by scoring twice then,
other hand Haddock grew stronger and had the
| visitors at his mercy.
THE INDIVIDUAL WORK
| OF both teams was excellent the pitchers re-
ceiving all the support they could desire.
| Richardson and Nash did great work for the
visitors, Pop Smith, the new importation from
Pittsburg, having but little to do at short He
did that little well, however. Wilmot made
some great catches in left, and saved the game
IN the tenth by making a wonderful run and
capture of Kelly's long fly that would probably
have been a three-bagger.
Wise, Hoy, the Irwins and Beecher also re-
celved generous plaudits, John Twins work
being very good. He also did the best hitting
for the team and was large and important
the game with his timely hit in the tenth, scor-
ing Hoy.
HOW THE RUNS WERE MADE.
With the exception of base hits by Beecher
and Hoy in the first and sixth innings the Sem
ators were retired in one-two-three order for
six innings. The visitors had men on second
and third with one out in the second, but
could not score. In the third Nash made a hit
and was left on third. The fourth brought the
first run. With Richardson out Johnston made
safe hit and soon went to second He would
have been out but for Arthur Irwin's error in
dropping the throw down. Smith struck out.
DAILY mufting the strike, and Johnston reached
third on the out at first. Then Benefits hit
scored the run. Arthur Irwin made great
stop of liner from Kellys bat in the fifth, and
Hoy also received an ovation on his wonderful
catch of Nash's fly near the fence.
The sixth brought the second and last run of
the visitors. Brouthers was given his base on
balls and went to second, when John Irwin
threw q ball through Carney after catching
Richardson's low fly. Johnston's ball to
Brother John a minute later was well stopped,
but ne could not throw and Big Dan went to
third and Johnston to first. Smith then scored
Brouthers on his single hit, and with but one
out 1t looked very blue for Washington. Ben
nett hit to Haddock however, and on his out
at first sent the runners ahead base and
Clarkson's fly fell into Beechers hands.
THE LUCKY SEVENTH
saw the score tied Beecher smashed one be-
tween Nash and Smith and reched first on the
formers excusable tumble. Then Wise and
Irwin flied out in such manner that the runner
stayed on first. Brother John, however, was
equal to the emergency and lifted a ball
and Beecher on third Daily proved his worth
by raising liner over Richardson's head that
fell safely and enabled both runners to score,
Twins slide at the plate being great piece of
work. Carney went out at first. This seemed to
unnerve Clarkson, for his delivery weakened
perceptibly after this point. 1t also had the eff
feet Of encouraging Haddock, and as his oppo-
nent lost his effectiveness he gained In the
latter half of the seventh with one out, Kelly
received four bad balls, but was nicely caught
at second In an attempt to steal, and Nash
struck out for the second time.
The home team almost scored in the eighth
Haddock went to first on balls and was forced
out at second on Hoy's bunt. Wilmot hit safely.
That set Hoy to third, but the Dummy went out
at the plate on Beecher's hit to Smith, after
which Wise flied to Nash. Again, in the ninth,
the Statesmen almost scored. Arthur Irwin hit
safely, followed by single from Brother Johns
bat. but Days hit to Clarkson shut Arthur off
at third. and the next two men went out under
Richardson's care.

came to the bat in the tenth, but this feeling
changed as Hoy reached first on balls and
worked around to third on neat sacrificing by
Wilmot and Beecher. Wise was at the bat and
the 800 spectators waited in fear. Two strikes
were called and the third came whirling in
Sam liked its looks and gave it a swipe that
sent it safe at Browns feet. Brown let it go
by and Hoy cantered home with the winning
run amid the widest cheering.
Brown went out on a nasty liner to Wise that
was neatly handled, and King Rel looked as if
he were due long hit. He sent one flying out
to Wilmot, near the canvas, and it was captured
as easily as though it were tossed to him.
Then Nash hit a bounder to Brother John and
went out at first, while the air was filed with
glad shouts and cushions
Washington made hits and errors and
Boston hits and two errors

win the game from Boston.
Umpire Power appeared in place of Mr..

on the bases, he was rather too severe on Had

Richardson had an easy time of it on almost
all OF his twelve chances. But one of them was
difficult one and he handled that beautifully.
John Irwin made pretty stop of q bounder

rather shaky throw.
DAILY was in his best form and his throwing to
