About two thousand people made the journey
to Capital park this morning to see the Sena-
tors fall victims to the Cleveland team by the
score OF 2 to 1. The game was interesting from
start to finish, although it savored somewhat OF
pitchers battle. There was considerable dis
appointment when the score-cards were found
to contain the names Of O'Day and Clark as the
battery, for folks had the idea that Person OF
Haddock would pitch. Beatin was down to
twirl the balls for Cleveland, but he did not
show up and Gruber was substituted, with Wild
mer to catch him.
| THIS COMBINATION PROVED EFFECTIVE
against the home team, for with men on bases
they could not find the ball at all, although on
two or three occasions some neat sacrificing
was done. A slight case of rattles seized the
Senators at the start and resulted in the loss of
the game, but otherwise they played beauti-
fully. The exhibition Of fielding was un-
usually good on both sides. Fessenden's
work was all that could be desired,
umpiring Of the past few days. The clouds
opened just enough to let a disagreeable flood
OF sunlight into the park that nearly blinded
the spectators. When the game was about half
over few drops Of rain fell but it ceased to
shower in couple of minutes.
| THE FIRST INNING SETTLED IT.
| The game was won and lost in the first inn
Ing, and after that the goose eggs on the board
grew monotonous. At 1890 Gruber twisted the
ball in his hand, and Fessenden called ..'play
ball" WilmOt hit the second ball pitched, and
1t bounded slowly to Stricken, who tossed it to
Faatz just In time to get the feetfooted
| runner out. Then Hoy slapped one over
Gruber's head that bounded into Stricker's
hands, and Hoy was out Sam Wise had better

to McAleer to go to the fence. This was dis
| regarded, and Sam banged the sphere to the
| fence for three bases. When he stopped
running he turned as he stood on third and
yelled at McAleer, 81 told you to 60 out"
Myers hit beautiful ball over Stricker's
head into the right field for base, and Wise
scored and earned run. Shock had two balls
and two strikes when Myers tried to steal,
but a beautiful throw by thinner nailed him.
O'Day had good round of applause when he
went into the box, but he gave Stricken four
bad balls. McAleer knocked an easy fly to Hoy,
who took it in his usual manner Mexican
found the right kind of q ball and raped it
for two bases, Stricken going to third. He
would have scored but for

while running with the ball. A combination
wild pitch and passed ball let the run in.
Twitchell hit one at O'Day that bounded off to-
ward Myers. 1t was safe hit, but Myers threw
so badly to Morrill, that the runner went to
second, Mexican scoring Faatz flied to Will
mot, Radford knocked little fly to Myers and
the side was out
Shoch started the second by scooping q low
ball out to Twitchell,' which was easily cap
tured. Then Peter Sweeney hit little safe
ball between Faatz, Stricken and Radford, but
Clark forced him out at second by hitting to
Iebeau. CLARK was safe at first only by virtue
OF high throw. A passed ball let him go to
second, but Morrill, struck out
Iebeau led off in the latter half by hitting
safely over second. thinner flied to Wilmot,
S VINO came came very near dropping it. A passed
to Morrill,, followed by Clark's catch of Strick-
ar's high foul straight up over the plate. To
the great delight of the crowd O'Day lined
out clean base hit between short stop and the
second base. Wilmot broke his bat on little
another Gruber and thinner took occa-
sion to patch up their signs Wilmot
hit to Stricken, who touched O'Day as he
passed, but this operation took SO much time
that Walter reached first. A little discussion
resulted between Faatz, Morrill,, and Fessen-
den, while Mexican stood on second with the
ball in his hands behind his back. When the
matter was settled Gruber made a feint to pitch
without the ball, and Fessenden allowed Will
mot to go to second on the balk, passed ball
showed him on the third, and he came to an
lgnominious end at the plate when he tried to
score ON Hoy's hit to Stricken. Wise made
three attempts to make fair hit, but failed
In the end of the third the Infants depa1 ted
from the plate in order. Wilmot made a good
catch OF McAleer's fly and Mexican went out
at first on hit to Sam Wise. Morrill, had
some difficulty in getting Wise's bad throw but
touched the runner in neat style.
MYERS MADE A SPLENDID STOP
of Twitchells sharp bounder and the side was
out.
Myers began the fourth with clean hit into
center. Shoch hit half dozen fouls before he
popped fly to Faatz. Sweeney hit along the
diamond to Stricken, who threw nicely to Nc
kean and Myers was out. Gruber threw
badly to Faatz in an over-anxious effort to
catch Sweeney, and the ball rolled off toward
the picket fence, while Peter ambled to second.
Clark flied out to Twitchell and closed the in
ming. Long Jay Faatz cut the turf in line to-
ward Myers and stopped his running at first.
Radford was patient and let O'Day throw the
balls all around the plate without making an
effort to hit them, and went to first in conse-
quence. In minute he started to steal second
and Clark shot the ball toward the base Fes-
sender turned to watch the play and the ball
pumped him in the back. OF course Radford
reached the base safely, but Fessenden made
him go back. Then Tebeau took advantage of
Sam Wlses playing near second and hit ball
that gave him safe base, but would not have
been more than an out under ordinary
circumstances. thinner also hit to Wise, but q

doubled up the side. Morrill, started the fifth
with neat single into the left field. O'Day
hunted good ball to Stricken, on which Nor
rill reached second, and another sacrifice by
Wilmot advanced him to third. but Hoy could
not get the ball beyand Mexican. Gruber flied
to Sweeny, and Stricken was out at first by
means of Myers neat stop. A ball from Nc
Aeer's bat fell into Shoch's hands.
THE SENATORS WENT OUT IN ORDER
in the sixth, Wise from Mexican to Faatz,
Myers from Gruber to the same place, and
Shoch on fly to the pitcher. Morrill, made
cook catch of McKean's short fly in the alley.
and Twitchell went out at first on hit to
Myers. Faatz raped one to Sam that caromed
off his hands, and the long man was safe. He
went to second on passed ball, but Radford
pleased Myers by a nice bounder, ON which he
went out at first.
The home team went out with regularity in
the ''lucky seventh"
Sweeny and Clark were retired in field hits.
and Morrill, struck out
Tebeau hit small foul that was well CAP
tured by Owen Clark, after which thinner was
presented with base on balls. Gruber saw a
ball coming over the plate that he thought was
bad, but he changed his mind at the last
minute and hit at it suddenly. As result it
sailed easily up and out to Myers, who nabbed
it. Stricken made many fouls the last one drop
ping in Morrills grasp.
O'Day opened up the 9Th with a great big
hit that called up into the air. out, out, up, up
until folks thought it was over the fence. 1t
