A NARROW ESCAPE.

| A MARROW ESCAPE.
The Senators Tied the Game In the
Eleventh Inning.
| POOR FIELDING, But TIMELY BArrINa-How THE
WASHINGTON BOYS SAVED THEMSELVES FROM
DErEAr-eAMEs ELsEwHERE-SoTEs OF THE
DIAMOND.
The game Of ball at Atlantic Park yesterday
between Washington and Worcester, which re-
| suited in tie after eleven innings was as COM
plete a comedy Of errors Is possibly could be
imagined. Each side seemed to vie with the
| other in making misplays, and the errors were
| almost as numerous as the base hits. Gleason
for Washington and Msister and Jones for
Worcester did about the poorest. Gleason
made five bad plays and Whistler, Hill, O'Brien,
Nicholas and Riddle each one. At times the
batting was rather heavy, but in a desultory
| way and hardly sharp enough to atone for the
| very poor exhibition Of the felders. But the
game was redeemed by several exceedingly
good plays on the part of Jordan, Bader, Rid
| die and Gleason for Washington and Cudworth
| for Worcester. This man, VINO is ut once cap
tain and manager Of the Massachusetts team.
Is one Of the most remarkable center felders
ever seen here and some of his catches yester-
| after time that looked to be sure safe hits, one
Of them with one hand while the player was
running at full speed. This saved the game
for Worcester. But Cudworth with all his
playing abilities, is too clownish on the ball
field.
The batteries we're Phillips and Riddle and
Stafford and Wilson. Phillips did some very
timely batting. his third hit tying the score for
Washington in the ninth. The score was 10
| to TO- Washington made one run in the first
| and no more were scored until the third, when
Worcester, by means Of six errors, a base on
| balls and two hits, made six runs This made
| people think that the game was over far as
| We were concerned, and the disgust was gen.
| eral But after this exhibition of how not to
play ball by the senator's they stiffenad up and
| thenceforth played sharp game. In the fifth
Washington made couple Of runs on hits by
4 Jordan and Phillips. an error and sacrifice
hitting by Gleason and Whistler. Two more in
| the sixth materially reduced the lead for a
| time. two errors base on balls and hit by
OBrien doing the work. But in the latter half
| the visitors made three by good solid hitting
| two singles and three Dagger, aided by a
passed ball being the direct causes. After that
there was lull in the score market until Wash
Gleason hit for a base and there was faint
yell. Whistler reached first on balls and the
coaching of Jack Riddle began to grow thun-
derous. Hill lifted ball up to the third base
man ana ne klnuly dropped IL, the passes.
By this time the excitement was fierce. Mich |
olss was at the bat and he had all the encour-
agement the crowd could give. Finally he hit
ball very hard and while it was rolling safely
between two felders Gleason and Whistler
scored. O'Brieu tried hard to make hit, but
he could not get the bail past the pitcher,
| while Riddle struck out Then Phillips hit for
a base pas. third and Hill and Nicholas crossed
the plate
WITH THE TYING RUNS.
Bader forced Phillips out at second, the
short stop rolling all over the base in his
anxiety to be sure of his man. Worcester went
out in order in the second half So did Wash |
ington in the tenth and Worcester did almost
the same but for getting man on first on a
hit, who came to grief when he tried to steal |
second In the eleventh Hill made a short
safe hit and stole second and third Nicholas
reached, his base muff by Meister and ran |
down to second without interference. O'Brien !
then banged the bail out into left center in a |
way that would have ordinarily produced two |
or three bases, but it was then that Cudworth |
took it in with one hand, and SO only one run
came in on the hit. Riddle sacrificed to put |
Nicholas on third and Phillips struck out !
Stafford went to first on balls and scored a |
tying run for Worcester when Bradley hit to |
the left corner for two bases. He tried to |
make third on the hit and was thrown out by |
Jordan, Hill and Gleason. But all Quoted |
down again and CampiOn struck out and Cud- |
worth went out at first Then Umpire Cor |
cOran called the game because il was SO dark |
that further play was impossible.
Washington and Worcester each made thir- |
teen hits and ten errors.
