AN UPHILL GAME
The New Havens Win by Opportune
Batting-Other Contests.


All but one of the New Haven's hits were
| made in one inning yesterday and six runs re-
suited Washington then took brace and
played fine uphill game winning the sympa-
! thies of the spectators if not the game, which
finally went to the visitors by the score Of to
z. The Senators could not climb high enough.
The bunch Of hits secured by the other side in
| the third inning was fatal, az each team closed
the game with the record Of 6 hits and 3errors.
| It was an even, close contest, and well worth
| seeing. The batteries were Underwood and
Bird and Doran and Cahill. Underwood re-
futed the popular belief that he is q weakening
pitcher as he grew better As the game pro-
crossed, and in the last five innings but one
man went to FIRST and that was on his own
muff. Doran was exceedingly effective in the
first part Of the game, but the Statesmen found
out the combin alton in the seventh and had
they had one more inning they would have won.
They came very near it as it was. Doran was
wild. giving eight bases on balls, Of which four
resulted in runs; but he was invincible for six
innings, but one hit being made of him in that
time.
HOW THE SCORES WERE MADE.
In the first inning he gave Bader and Glea-
son bases, but neither one scored. Whistler
forced Bader at third by hitting to Doran,
Donohue popped up q fly for Cahill and Jor-
dan went out at first In the second two Sen
ators struck out and the other, after getting a
base on balls. was caught trying to steal. New
Haven was more fortunate. Underwood muffed
Schoenecks high fly and the big man was
forced at second by Lally. A wild pitch sent
him to third and he scored on Doyle's two
| Dagger. A passed ball and a sacrifice sent
Doyle across the rubber.
Washington began scoring in the third. I'm

| and Bader went to first on balls. Gleason hit
between first and second and the ball was put
| to Lang at second in time to get Bader, but
Lang let it go through him and it rolled to the
field, while Underwood scored. Both Lang
and Bader got away from second together and
there was an evident attempt on the part Of
Lang to interfere with Bader, which resulted in
Lang falling fiat in the dust of the alley, to the
intense delight of the spectators. Bader
| reached third safely. Cahill tried to catch
Bader mapping and threw the ball between
Doyle's legs, the runner coming in. Gleason
scored on an error by Doran, to whom Dono-
| hue hunted the ball Whistler had struck out,
and Jordan and Hill followed, leaving Dono-
hue on second.
oPPoRTUNH BATTING.
New Haven proceeded to make up for all this
bad playing. Lang WAS hit by the ball and
| McKees sacrifice sent him to second. Cahill
hit hot one toward Hill which he stopped
well, but in such q shape that he could throw
| it neither to third nor first Then followed
| three hits in succession. singles by Lynch and
Schoeneck and a double by Lally. An error
\ by Wentz on a throw down to catch a runner
and hit by Doran finally scored six runs.
With the score eight to three the Senators
| braced up wonderfully and almost won. In the
| fourth they were retired on three strike outs.
| In the fifth Gleason went to first on balls and
| stayed there. In the sixth three men went out
| in order. In the seventh Wentz and Bader
went to first on balls and Underwood made an
other hit, filling the bases. Whistler was equal
| to the occasion and made a sharp two-base hit
| into left center that cleared the bases. sac
rifice put him on third, but he could not score.
| Another run was made in the eighth. Hill
| went to first on balls and stole second, scoring
| on Wentz's fine two-bagger into left that set
the crowd wild. Underwood STRUCK out and
| Bader forced Wentz at third. In the ninth
| Gleason hit for a clean base. but was forced at
| second by Whistler. whose ball was really safe
| but for an extraordinary reach by Doyle.
| Donohue could not get the ball out of Laly' g
hands, but Michael Jordan hit it out for base.
Then Hill popped up to Lang and ended the
game.
