AGAIN THEY COULDN'T BAT.
How the Senators Were Defeated b,
the Newarks-Other Games.

The recognized Senators could not bat any
harder yesterday than they used TO before the
| crash. The score was to 0 in favor Of Newark
The attendance was large enough to produce q
healthy howl at every error, opportunity fol
bowling being only too frequently offered The
batteries were Underwood and Bird and Serad
and Murphy Serad was a complete enigma
and the Senator'S acquaintance with the base
bags was somewhat infrequent. When they
did get their feet on the pillows they usually
stayed at the first resting place, but one or
two getting beyond first base. Six men we're
left. Newark scored all Of the runs in the
| first four innings and after that the game was
quito close and exciting in a negative way.
Washington had five runs to make in order to
win and failed to make them. Underwood
pitched mastery game in the latter half and
altogether struck out seven men. His support
became better after the game was lost. The
nearest the home team came to scoring was in
the fret inning, when Gleason hit safely, went
to second when Whistler was given four bad
balls. to third on Jordans forcing Whistler at
Der when Jordan stole second. Bird had three
passed balls. Washington made hits and 8
errors and Newark hits and errors.
