| washingtons Senators were not in their best
form yesterday and the game they lost to
| the Cleveland Infants, 8 to 2, was by no
| means good exhibition, taken a. . whole.
There were times when the local leaguers
showed q snap that was remarkable, making
several beautiful plays and then again they
went backward. The batteries were Keefe and
DAILY and Beatin and Sutcliffe. Keefe's wild
pitching virtually lost the game and would
have done so with the best o; support. Beatin
was pretty effective against the Senators, who
hit in hard luck. putting up flies for the aelders
that should have been safe hits. Wilmot
especially, was a sufferer in this regard, the
two OF his hits that were not safe being caught
after phenomenal efforts. Carney reappeared
on first but did not show up in wonderful
shape. Beecher's place in right was filled by
Mack, the former having been called away
again by the serious illness Of his child at
Hartford
THE FEATURES OF THE GAME
Stricker's wonderful second-base play, the
work of McAleer and Hoy in center field and
Days backstopping, all Of which deserve high
praise.
In the first with Wise out Hoy went to first
on balls and was thrown out trying to steal.
Then Wilmot raped triple to the club house
and waited on third while McAleer made a
reached first on Carney's muff, but just
as DAILY caught Stricker's third strike
he made an ignomInious failure of an
attempt to steal, and then Mexican struck
out. Neither side scored in the second DAILY
making single with two out. Washington
made one run in the third. Keefe was out on
fly, Sam Wise hit safely and was forced at
second by Hoy. Then Wilmot made another
three-base hit, this time to the right-feld cor
ner, the ball coming within an ace of bounding
over the fence. Mack went out from Tebeau
to Faatz. In the latter half after Faatz had hit
safely and Sutcliffe flied to Hoy, Beatin hit
down to Arthur Irwin, near second, and the
little man touched the bag and threw to Car
ney, making quick double play that captured
the grounds.
THE FOURTH.
With two out in the fourth DAILY went to first
on balls, but was left. Radford was given
his base and Stricken flied to Hoy. Mexican
lined one out into right at the moment Rad
ford started to steal and the men went to
second and third. Twitchers sacrifice liner
to Wise, which was beautifully stopped and
thrown, scored Radford. and Tebeau's two
Dagger sent in the other run.
Hard luck struck the Senators in the fifth.
With two out Hoy went to first on balls and
Wilmot banged ball toward the center
a two Dagger but for McAleer's wonder
full running catch, ending the inning.
Faatz, after hitting safely, was the victim Of
another beautiful double play in the latter half,
John Irwin making a great pick up Of SUIT
cliffe's bounder and throwing to Arthur. who
passed the ball along in time to Carney. Then
Beatin struck out. In the sixth Washington
scored one and should have had another. Mack
made pretty single, but died on second when
Arthur Irwin hit to Mexican. Arthur went
around to third on the wild ball Mexican shot
down to Faatz, and scored on Brother Johns
sacrifice to short. DAILY went to first on balls
and worked his way around by stealing within
few inches of third, where he met the ball.
CLEVELAND WON THE GAME
in the seventh. Tebeau struck out and McAleer
went to first on balls, stealing second and
scoring on Faatzs single. Then Sam Wise
made beautiful catch OF SATELLITES foul.
Beatin reached first on an error, but Carney
caught Radford's pop-up. In the eighth Hoy
made clean hi;, went to second on Wilmots
ball to Radford, which should have been a
three-bagger, and to third ON Mack's sacrifice
to Stricken, who made wonderful stop of an
apparently safe hit. Arthur Irwin left HIM
there. putting up fly for Twitchell
The visitors riveted their hold on the game
in their half, making two runs. Strickers hit
and Hoys tumble, John Twins error and
Twitchelrs single made one. and then Keefe
filled the bases with base on balls and forced
a run in with another. Wilmot made a mar
velous catch in this inning of a short fly from
Faatz aud held the three men on the bases.
In the ninth. with John Irwin out DAILY went
to first on balls for the third time and went
ahead on Beatin's bad throw to first. Carney
