PITCHING AND BATTING.
Another Victory to the Credit OF the
Washington Team.


It seldom happens that when ball team bats
so that not hit is wasted the team il defeated.
There was no exception to this rule yesterday,
when the Washington team hit not only hard
and often, but hit altogether as well, 90 that
there was not q hit made that did not aid in
run-getting. The result was that they won the
game from Pittsburg by the score Of 10 to l.
The home team played rather loose game in
the field, and had the visitors been able to hit
the ball at ali the score would have been closer.
But they we're powerless at the bat and in the
first inning went to pieces so badly that, with
the aid Of some hitting, the Senators secured Q
lead OF three runs, which could not be over
come. Keefe and DAILY and Calvin and Miller
occupied the points.
GOOD PITCHING.
Geo. Keefe never pitched In better form, and
was complete puzzle to his opponents. He
was steady as well, and gave but one base on
balls. The lads from the city Of smoke did not
hit the ball clearly until the ninth inning,
their achievements at the bat before that being
OF the most decided scratch order. Irwin was
not strong enough to play, and Clarke con-
tinued to cover short stop, but did not do quite
so well as on Saturday, yet he filed the bad
gap very acceptably, showing an eagerness to
reach out for balls that was promising. DAILY
caught his usually good game and kept things
lively with his batting making a single, a
double and triple. His only misplay was a
poor throw. Sweeney did not show up par
ticularly well in the field, but managed to get
in a couple of neat bounding hits that gave
him q base each. Strange to say Wilmot, who
played remarkable game in the field, was the
only Senator who could not hit safely.
THE PITTsBURGERs.
The ancient Deacon White, whose delayed
nd, ", he sh,,rr r. 90
much jubilation, did not justify much of ex-
pectations that have been put on his playing,
for his work on first was very ragged in the
first inning, and two errors are put down to
him. He was weak also at the bat. Smith,
who covered third was the only visitor who
could bat, and two of his three efforts were
squeezes that fell short between felders
THE RUNS.
The home team scored three runs in the first
inning on two errors by White and singles by
Hoy, Wise and Daily. Again in the fourth two
runs resulted from Sweeneys single, Keefe's
double, and Hoy's triple, all made after two
men were put out In this inning the visitors
scored one on errors by Hoy. Sweeney and
DAILY. The fifth saw the Statesmen making two
runs on Days beautiful three-base hit to the
fence, Wise's sacrifice and singles by Carney.
Mack and Sweeney. The visitors also scored
IN their half on Sweeney's triple error and
the seventh was the next score. 1t was a long
fly over left fence halfway to the club house.
The Burgers made two scatch hits in this in
ming, but could not score. Dunlap tried to
reach third on his close two-bagger,
that ought to have been caught, but Clarke
lined the ball to Wise who jabbed Dunlap in
the back as he foolishly started to run to third.
Each team scored in the ninth. For the Sena-
tors Days two Dagger, Wise's triple and
Clarke's single: Dunlap executed pretty
double play and caught Mack out on difficult
fly, earning round Of applause. For the visi-
tors Kuehne's single and Smiths double, aided
by Clarkes error, produced two runs, but that
was all they could make. DAILY made wonder
full catch of foul in the eighth that nobody
thought he could possibly reach. Washingtons
made IA hits and errors, and Pittsburgs hits
and errors.
