COULDN'T KEEP 1T UP.
The Senators Victims to the Phila del.
phia Ball Team Yesterday.

The very small contingent of base ball cranks
who expected to see the Senators keep right on
winning games and to take that of yesterday
from Philadelphia were about the only folks
sadly disappointed when word came over that
the Phillies had pulled themselves together,
and won from the Statesmen by the score
Of to 0. Most people expected nothing more,
and we're satisfied to think that the Washing
tonians had won at last one game. The story
is best told by the Philadelphia papers, from
which the following is extracted:
There is little to say about how Philadelphia
won the game from Washington yesterday. The
visitors lost because they were outbatted, out
folded, outpitched, and outrun. Buffnton
was the bright star of the occasion, for. in spite
of Healy's wildness, had the visitors been able
to bat him they would have left the field victors
The big fellow was never in better shape. He
had great speed and his drop ball never proved
more deceptive. The visitors did not get a
man across the plate in nine innings. and only
three got as far as third base. Healy, the
young Washington pitcher, was wild in the
fore part of the game and was responsible for
three Of the four unearned runs scored by the
Phillies. Mack was not himself, either. his
missed third strike and a wild throw giving the
local team one Of its two runs in the first inning
He remained in the box, however, until the
eighth inning. when Banning relieved him.
Hoy and Shoch played grandly in the field,
each accepting the five chances offered him.
Myers put up a clever game at second, and
Morrill, played his position in his usual first
class style.
1T was pitchers battle, and Bufinton came
Of with flying colOrs. He held the Washing
tons down 70 four safe hits, and these were
scattered in as many innings. The Phillies
played good fielding game, and two of their
errors were redeemed by two quick double
plays. Long John Healy also pitched eff
fectively. and seven hits were the Phillies
quota. These were scattered, one to a man,
Thompson and Mailman being the unfortunate
players who did not make hit. Three of the
Phillies hits were two-baggers and one was for
three. The home batting was punched with
the Senators errors, and runs came very
easily. "-Inqtirer.
