How the Washingtons Defeated Indian
apolis-Other Games Saturday.

Saturday closed successful week for the
Senators in satisfactory manner, for the home
team won the fourth game by the score Of II
to Z. They had the game in hand from the
start and were in the lead from the first inning.
Their victory came from some lucky punches OF
hits. aided by some bases on balls, and the stiff
game they played when occasion required.
slight case of rattles in the third enab led the
Hoosiers to score two runs, but thenceforth
the fielding was pretty. The batteries were
Rusie and Myers and Person and DAILY. While
both pitchers received about the same kind of
treatment, Person was steadier and had better
luck in keeping the visitors hits scattered.
Wilmot was the hero Of the day, as usual, max
ing two triples and double out of three
chances at the ball. The other two times he
went to the bat Rusie deliberately pitched him
four bad balls. Both teams made a
squirt in the ninth, which gave an ex-
hlbition of batting and sprinklng Of
error-making that made the game rather
interesting. In this inning the Senators made
8 runs and the Hoosiers 5. The runs OF the
visitors however, were evidently the result OF
a slight easing up on Persons part, but was
lined out over the infelders heads, while two
or three errors aided the nimble Hoosiers
around the bases. This, however, was but
short revenge for the whirlwind of batting
indulged in by the home team in the first half
Washington made 10 hits and 5 errors, and
Indianapolis IL hits and errors. Twin was
not well and Clarke took his place at short,
doing exceedingly well. His only misplay was
in the ninth on a fierce ground ball. He and
Wise PLAYED second for all it was worth, and
executed neat double play that brought forth
round of applause. Clarke made two singles,
Carney double and single, daily two singles
and Wise a single.
