A wELL-EARNED VICTORY.
How the Washingtons Won Yesterday
Other Games.

Yesterday was washington's day, and Adrian
Arson was compelled to leave town with but
one Senatorial scalp hanging at his belt, The
tail-enders hauled themselves together and,
BY playing a smart batting and fielding game,
won handily by the score of 6 to4.
| 1t was most satisfactory contest and the
handful Of spectators who braved the intense
heat were well repaid. The work OF the States
men was in sharp contrast to that of the day
before, and they worked for a victory from the
start to finish Their batting was especially
| fine, and they began savagely enough to de-
moralize a weaker team than Anson's Will
mot and Wise carried off the honors Of the
day and gave their batting records a gsner-
ous boost toward the top of the list. The
| former was perfect terror at the bat and his
| fielding was Of a phenomenal order. Sweeny,
who don't want to go to Denver, played third
| base and Sam Wise covered second. The bat
| teries were Person and Daily and Tener and
| Farrell. The honor for the success of the
| game should be partly given to DAILY, whose
! steady work behind the bat was most encour-
| aging. He did his share in batting, also, and
infused good deal of life into the game.
HOW IT WAS DONE.
The Senators won the g anne in the first in
ming, when they made runs. Hoy hit for a
base and Wilmot banged safe one at Duffy,
who fumbled Then Daily made a sharp two
base hit, and Sam Wise enabled the third man
to score by hitting the ball for two bases IT.
win sacrificed, and Mack, after Carney had
flied out, drove hit out into the right field,
and Sam scored the fourth run amid great en-
thusiasm. Dalys hit was into left field. and
both Van Haltren and Ryan ran for it and tum-
bled over each other. Wilmot did about the
same in the visitors half on Duffys single after
two were out. Arson went to first on balls and
Pfeffer drove Duffy home with a neat single.
Arson was left on third.
The Statesmen added to their lead in the
second. Two were out when Wimot smashed
the ball to the center-teld fence and reached
third Then DAILY came to the scratch and
lined out single, earning Walters run. The
visitors also rallied in their half on hits by
Burns and Tener. Neither side could score
again until the fifth, when Chicago crept lit.
tie nearer the home team and made people
nervous. Ryan sent the ball over to the left
fence and made second on the hit Car
ney fumbled Van Haltren's drive along the
line. of which DAILY gave him timely warning
and Duffy scored Ryan on his single. Anson's
ball went to Sweeney, who touched third but
threw a little badly to first. Then Pfeffer drove
one to Carney who could only throw Arson out
at second, but Wilmot pulled the team out of a
rather bad inning by making a wonderful run
ming catch of Farrell's short fly
The Senators filed the bases on two bases on
balls and hit by Mack in the seventh but
could not score. They kept right on shutting
out their opponents, however, and in the
ninth Sam Wise made himself solid with the
crowd by banging the ball over the right-field
| fence. The ball crossed halfway between the
| foul line and the corner-a wonderful drive.
This made victory certain, for Chicago had
| their weak end at bat and could not hit for
! more than one run in their half This was the
result of little piece of bad play on the part
| of Sweeney. He first fumbled Tener's drive,
| and then threw Ryan's hit badly to Wise to
catch Tener. Van Haltren then hit the ball
hard to center, Hoy reaching it just too late
He tumbled over and over. but Mack was right
behind him and had the ball to Wise so quickly
that Van Haltren was called out and Arson was
/ dumbfounded. In the meantime Tener had
just crossed the plate, scoring scratch run.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Washington made 13 hits and errors and
Chicago hits and errors. Wilmot was the
leader in batting, with four hits and a total of
seven bases. Wise hit three times and had a
| total OF eight bases. Mack made three singles
DAILY two singles and Hoy one. Irwin played
| an excellent game at short, accepting all of
| eight chances.
Wise made beautiful stop of a ball that
caromed of Person from Van Haltren's bat in
the second and put Bastian out at second base.
II was made by his left hand far extended. He
showed bit of stupidity, however, in running
when, i'll the seventh, he allowed himself to be
caught off first.
( DAILY worked like a beaver yesterday to de-
feat his former club. He caught beautifully,
not having the semblance of a passed ball He
backed up first and third in good style and
! played throughout with refreshing vim Mr.
| Hewett certainly made no mistake in securing
him. He is remembered here as a catcher in
the old Eastern league. and how he used to
I pound the ball. Unless he drops in his work
he will be good partner for faithful Mack
1t is doubtful if the Washingtons have
had stronger nine on the field than they
presented yesterday. Perhaps an exception
should be made OF Sweeny But he will be a
| frst-class ball-player when he steadies himself
III Sam Wise can play second as he did yes
terday Al Myers never will be missed.
Wllmot has struck his gait and fields and bats
| like demon.
If Captain Irwin can keep up the snap of his
men people will go to see the games, even if
the Senators get the worst of it. Earnest
hard work always reaps its reward.
Indianapolis plays here to-day II the Sem
ators keep up their gait-and there is every
reason to believe that they will-they should
| take at least two of the three games from the
Hoosiers. While this would not put the States
men in seventh place it would land them in
| good reaching distance of that position.
| Three full series of games, including eleven
contests, have just closed. OF these eleven the
| Senators have won three and lost eight. They
have made 40 runs, SO hits and 81 errors, to
/ their opponents 10 runs. 90 hits and q errors
| Wllmot, Wise, Carney, DAILY, Mack and
| Clarke were the batters in these games. Will
| mot maze 10 hltS IN the IL games. Wise H.
