LOST IN THE NINTH.
The Senators Defeated by the Hoosiers
Yesterday-Other Games.
Washington's ball team played 0 very Door
fielding game in Indianapolis yesterday and
lost the game by the score Of II to g. The bat
teries were Thornton and Mack and Getzein
and Sommers. Thornton showed up we'll
enough in the box for q beginner. and had he
been decently supported would probably have
won the game, Notwithstanding his eight bases
on balls The Senators outbatted the HOLSTERS,
whose game in the field Was only q triae better.
The enemy had, in fact, little license to win,
and would not have done 80 but for two or
three pieces Of extreme good luck. 1t was an
uphill fight for the Statesmen almost from the
start and they obtained a lead in the eighth
that should have given them the game but for
McQuaids calling of balls and slight case Of
rattles in the inield in the ninth Arthur Irwin
and Beecher reappeared on the team, but had
evidently not regained their fielding form, each
making two errors. John Irwin was all out Of
THE SCORES
Both teams scored in the first, the Hoosiers
one and the Senators three. Glasscock was on
third and Sullivan at the bat Thornton was
about to pitch, when Sullivan jumped from one
side OF the plate to the other, and the pitcher
held his arm for fear of hitting him. This
constituted balk according to the rules and
Glasscock was allowed to 60 home, although
the play was perfectly explainable and excus-
able on Thornton's part, and done with no in
tent to deceive the runner Sullivan deserved
timing. In the last half Hoy, Beecher and
Arthur Irwin hit safely, Wilmot went to first
on balls, and John Irwin made a sacrifice
three runs resulting. In the second Beecher
made muh and a bad throw, enabling the
Hoosiers to tally twice and tie the score Some
batting Melted an earned run for the Indians
in the third, and in the fourth a couple
OF bases on balls, q double hit
from Seery's bat and an excusable
error by Carney gave three still more, making
the score Z to 8. Then neither side scored
until the eighth, when the Senators jumped on
to the ball and made five runs. Wilmotstarted
with three base hit and scored on Beecher's
single. Arthur Irwin drove Beecher home with
double, and Brother Johns single enabled
the captain to score. A wild pitch sent John
to second and Getzein's bad handling of Mack's
slow hit let him get third scoring on Sommer's
throw badly to catch Mack on his steal Mack
reached third on the play and scored on Thorn
tons sacrifice. This gave the Senators a lead
of one run but they did not hold it long, for
the Hoosiers made four in the ninth. With
one out Glasscock went to first on balls, John
Irwin fumbled Denny's easy hit and Hines
went to first on balls, filling the bases. SuIli-
van made a bunt hit and Glasscock scored.
Denny being caught at third This tied the
score with two out, but three single hits and
double quickly settled the contest. Wilmot
lifted the ball out for home run in the ninth
Washington made ten hits and eight errors
and Indianapolis eight hits and FIVE errors

was called at the end of the eighth inning.
There was almost a riot in the fourth when
Umpire Powers called McAleer out for not
touching first base after ne had made two
base hit: An angry crowd filed the field
making threats, and the interference of the po-
lice and of the Cleveland club was all that saved
the umpire from rough handling. He stopped
the game and retired out of sight until the ire
OF the crowd had cooled and then resumed
| work.
