THEY TOOK A BRACE AND WON.
How the Senators Annihiiated the ORR
oies Yesterday.

oies Yesterday.
The Washington Club gained points in the
championship race yesterday, after q long
period Of waiting, by taking a brace in the
sixth inning OF the game with Baltimore and
banging the ball all over the lot. So terrific
was the batting streak that something gave
way, and this time il was the sorely tried tenn
per OF Capt. Power of the Orioles, who was not
in the best of humor. Nine runs resulted from
the long. hard, frequent hits in this memorable
inning, and when the visitors had been retired
in order in their half they were willing to allow
the game to be called on account of darkness,
the score standing - to 4. The game was
another disgraceful exhibition of how I'M
manneriy men can act when they want to.
The regular umpire not appearing a young
man from Georgetown University, named Glea-
son. was substituted. The laxative captain
from over the way fumed and stormed when
ever a decision was given against his team.
Gleason did very well. except in one or two in
stances. when he broadly favored the home
team. But when the Senators began to bat in
the last inning Power succumbed and that in
ming was played with a comparative absence of
! rowing. Underwood, Nicholas and Riddle and
German and Townsend were the batteries.
Underwood pitched a magnificent game, hold
ing the Orioles almost at his mercy, and with
perfect support he would have shut them out.
His delivery is swift and hard to solve and he
bats like q Trojan. He found the ball at the
right time yesterday when the bases were full
and endeared himself to the five hundred spec
tators by his timely aid in this direction. The
game was poorly fielded. over a dozen errors
being made altogether. Up to the sixth inning

after that
No runs were made in the first inning, bnt
both teams went at it in a business-like way in
the second. Washington made two on a couple
OF singles and Baltimores secured three on a base
on balls. a high throw from Nicholas to Hill.

and Gleason. a passed ball and a couple of
singles by Sommer and Henry. Each side
made one in the third. Washington's was on
Gleason's being hit, Longs tumble, n base on
balls and a clean double by Jordan. Ray
scored Baitimore's last tally on Birds poor
throw, a wild pitch and Werrick's sacrifice.
The next inning was unproductive, but in the
NTH Washington tied the score amid a wrangle.
Bird made third on a base on balls. n force ont,
a steal and a sacrifice, and scored when Jordan
slid to second. Townsend threw well to catch
him. and the Baltimore CROWD thought that the
runner was out. but Gleason. the umpire,
backed by Shortstop Gleason. thought other
wise, and the run was counted after a great
deal of tongue work, which for a few moments
seemed likely to bring on a free fight.
Inc slAlD WAS u revelation 10 those who had
imagined that the Senators had lost their
knack of batting. Whistler. Nicholas and
Underwood started the affair by getting in a
safe hit apiece, and then Ray and Werrick
helped matters along by fumbling. Riddle and
Jordan next took a hand at hitting ont singles.

Capt. Powers heart by lining out a double to
the center field fence. clearing the diamond.
