| A FINE EXHIBITION By THE HOME BoYs-TERRIFIC
HITTING AND WONDERFUL FIELDISa-oTHER
! GAMEs-NoTEs OF THE BASE BALL DIAMOND,
| CLUBS AND PLAYERS
Nine tired Sand spaniards climbed into a
hotel coach at Atlantic Park yesterday after
noon after the ball game. They were very
tired, indeed, for they had been chasing
leather for nearly two hours, and they
| wiped the sweat from their brows they won
dered where the man could be found who had
told them that the Washington team could not
bat. The game had gone against them by the
score OF l3 to g. There we're over nine hun
dred people at the game, and they went away
perfectly satisfied with the sort of play put up
by the Senators. There were some marvellous
catches made by Washington's outfcd, which
| reused the crowd to high pitch of en-
| thusiasm Both Bader and Jordan pulled
down flies that were about to be marked down
III the score books as safe hits one by Bader
being taken while he on dead run with
his hands stretched out in front of him at full
length. The infield work was also very sharp
| and snappy. Gleason and O'Brien making some
| fine stops and throws. Nicholas nabbed a hit
J that went out to him in the right field (where
he taking the place of Bird, who hurt his
! finger while sliding i'll the second innlnS) and
| returned it to Whistler quickly that the
| runner was very much put out. 1t was one of
several instances of deliberate thievery of hits,
| i'll which the Washington team INDUCED all
| through the game.
| GOOD BATTING.
The battery was Phillips and Riddle and they
were more than commonly effective against
their adversaries. Only one man was made to
| fan the air. but the Jersey City batters could
| not get the ball out of the reach of the Wash
| ingtOn felders except at rare intervals. But
Fitzgerald, who occupied the pitchers box for
Jersey City. just about all that the Senators
asked for. They batted his curves in all drec-
tons, two baggers being favorites with the
Washington sluggers. Seven of them were
pounded, their hitters being Bader, Jordan,
Gleason. Whistler. Nicholas and O'Brien. The
last named man was in his element, making a
hit every time he came to the bat. His bat
ting was something wonderful Twice he found
the ball for two bases at time. and every
other hit he made was clean and solid. On the
part OF the visitors ROussey, the short stop,
was the only man who could find the ball safely
more than once. He made three singles. bat
was put out trying to make second each time.
Riddles throwing was pretty nearly sure death
to a runner, and D Brien backed him up in this
sort of work finely.
| THE RUNS
five to one, the game was never in doubt and
it became matter of interest to see how
many runs the home team could make. They
increased their lead by two in the fourth, and in
| the sixth the visitors made a couple on their
| own account, bringing the tally up to seven to
| three. Washington made one more in the
seventh and five in the eighth, while Jersey
! CITY could not score any more. In this eighth
| inning the Senators made two two baggers and
three singles. Washington made l6 hits and 2
| Nicholas did good share of the batting for
Washington, he and OBrien between them
| making half of the hits. He scured three one
a double, out of four times at bat. Jordan,
Gleason and Whistler each made single and
! double. OF the visitors Van Alstine played
alb ut the best game, he being at third base.
ii made some very pretty stops and throws
= II saved plays III one or two places that
seemed bound to go against him. Burdock,
the old king of second basemen, appeared on
that bag for the visitors and did some splendid
work at times. When the bases full he
worked the diamond well and usually managed
TO shut off a run at the plate, doing this three
times. Roussey pull down line fly at short
field in the first inning from Baders bat that
appeared to be going well out to the fence.
