ing more than their share of this instead of the
home club. The peach blossoms were not in
the game at all after the first two innings,
Washington having lead that was invincible.
Daniels and Nicholas and Stein and Corcoran
were the batteries. The Senators had an easy
problem to solve in STEMS delivery, and the
way they kept on hitting out singles and
doubles was bewildering to the rosy-cheeked
young man, who was SO demoralized that he
struck out four times Daniels pitched a
mastery game. keeping all the others guessing
all the time without success. With the eGcep-
tion of the eighth inning, when he weakened
momentarily and the other side made three
tvo-baggers in succession, he did not allow
them to go to first base except on widely sepa-
rated occasions.
Riddle played at second in fine style, taking
all of the three balls that came his way.
Gleason made several pretty stops and catches
and but one error, bad throw to first that let
in run His batting. however. more than re-
deemed this, two solid two-baggers into left
center being made, each resulting in runs.
Underwood played IN left. but he had no
chance to distinguish himself, and at the bat
he was quito weak. striking out twice. He
seems to have fault in hitting at every ball
that comes along, whether 1t IS good or bad,
and this gets him into trouble at times. He
made a scratch two-base hit in the second H.
ming which avalled nothing.
Mahoney UmpITed tine game in sprightly,
snappy. decisive manner. that was very much
OF q relief after the amateur efforts that have
been witnessed here of late. He is n good
looking young man, wearing a neat, light ten
mis- costume, and his voice is loud. while he
has picturesque habit of exemplifying his
decisions by motions of his hands that are
very entertaining. The game was played with
a smoothness that would have disagreed alto
gether with the constitutions of the Baltimore
team, there being almost no kicking.
The game was really without any particular
features, unless one would call Whistlcr's mag
nIncent batting feature. He hit the ball
squarely every time that he went to the bat,
the first one falling into the hands of the CEN
ter fielder and all of the others going out with
terrific speed between short and third. In
every instance there were men on bases, so that
his hits always counted for their fall value
There were four of them. each one bringing in a
run. although Whistler himself is not credited
with a score.
