THE ERRORS
The Senators ran bases well and hit the ball
whenever MIR. Winkleman put it anywhere near
the plate, but their misfortune lay in some
rank error making when men were on bases.
OBrlen, Bird and Gleason each contributed to
this result, Jerry at second base especially.
But his hard place to play, he having
twelve chances. OF these he accepted eight.
but the three that he missed were very fatal.
Bird seemed to have an of day, for he could
not hold anything that came to him. dropping
ball IN the sixth inning that enabled the WIS.,
ltors to make two extra runs and tie the score.
Zach side scored in every inning but one, the
alleys becoming dusty by so much running To
tell the story OF how the runs were made would
be too tedious In the first Washington made
lve by means OF as many bases on balls and one
little hit by Hill, who played fine game, amid
all the wreck. Good batting netted the visitors
two III their half and then for two innings each
side made one and one. In the fourth the
home team made two and the visitors three,
thus making the score stand nine to seven.
Washington made one more in the fifth while
Hartford did not tally and in the sixth another
was added to the home list. Hartford's half,
however was more productive, four runs re-
sultlng from three small hits, a base on balls
and errors by Gleason and Bird. This tied the
score, and Washington started Ill at the seventh

banged out one for three bases. Then Hill
sacrificed. After that, although two men went
to bases on balls, no one else could score.
Hartford Immediately tied the score again, a
two base hit, a wild pitch, base on balls and a
single. The eighth was unproductive for Wash
lnSton, double play ending all hopes of n
tally. This unfortunate, for Hartford.
after two men were out aud the weakest batters
were up, proceeded to make
THE TWO WINNING RUNS.

short time last year and was released because
he was too soft" reached first ON called balls
and stole second. a passed ball putting him on
third. Then O'Connell the last man on the
batting list, was given easy ball that he
liked and II went Swimming along past Hill for
two bases, while Murray trotted home with the
run that meant victory. Then Anns made a
hit and O'Connell scored. 1t was quite dusky
by this time and Hartford began to kick to get
Umpire COrcoran, who did the best work in his
line that has been seen here for many day. to
call the game. But he sent the Senator'S into
the tield and they went to work like tigers but
it was too late. First OF all two men got out
and nearly everybody stood up 20 get out,

the generous Mr. Winkeman, two runs were
scored and the game stood at tie. Two more
men went to first on balls. bu: Bader flied out.
Then Hartford kicked again, and this time
with justice and with success, for it was dark
that the ball could hardly be seen, and so the
game went back 10 the eighth inning. Wash
lngton made III hits and errors and Hartford
IL hits and errors.
