A LOST OPPORTUNITY.
The Senators Defeated by the Tail
Enders-Other Games.

The fu.ility Of trying to play professional
base ball without enough men was thoroughly
exemplified yesterday in the case of the game
which the Washington club played with that
from Wilmington and lost, 5 to 8. Bird, who il
a first-class player. but no second baseman,
was put on second and the errors which he
made virtually lost the game. Nearly the whole
team became demorslized in time and piled up
error after error at a sickening rate. the Peach
Blossoms scoring frequently. Phillips and
Nicholas and Wehrle, Corcoran and Williams
we're the batteries. Wehrle was not such a
terror as he was the other day, contending.
as he was, against q pitcher equally good,
and had the Senators played reasonably clever
ball IN the field they need never have been de-
feated. Wilmington scored one in the first
after two men were out, Gleason throwing wild
to Whistler and Bird letting a ball 60 through
him. Washington took n temporary lead in
the third by making two runs on a two Dagger
by Gleason, an error by Sullivan. Whistlers
~grounder and Hills safe hit. The score
stood thus until the sixth inning. when Will
mlngton made two more on singles by Carl
and Williams, q sacrifice by Galligan and two
errors by Bird, n bad tumble and a worse
throw home. Two more i'll the eighth by the Wis
itors settled things. Phillips failed to throw the
slow hit which went to him from Carts bat and
Whistler could not find the ball which Williams

feet. Then Carl scored On Galligan's single
and Williams OH Jordan's muff of Newell's easy
ny. Then Jordan made a beautiful double
play to atone for his muff, catching Sullivan's
drive after a hard run and throwing to first in
time to catch Newell, who was certain that the
hit was safe. The Statesmen made an expiring
effort in the ninth, but il only resulted In one
OF the necessary three runs being made. With
Two out Gleason went to first OH keay's bad
throw and scored on Whistler's two-base drive.
