OiC iCtoTy-Otner BAH OaUleSs
Sunday base ball was inaugurated yesterday
at Baltimore by a game between the Orioles
and the Senators in the presence OF about ten
thousand people, and-would you believe it
the Washington team won the game! 1t il
almost too good to be true. but the Senators
did really win. the scores being 5 to 4, and they
did 1t by scientific work. The score stood 4 to
4 at the end Of the ninth inning, and after the
Orioles had gone out in the tenth in stair-step
order. Mr.. Whistler. first at the bat, hit the
first ball pitched, which struck the top Of the
left field fence about ten feet from the foul
line and then bounded over into the outer
regions. TIL game was won. 1t was the first
victory for many weary days and Manager
Teds cramped fingers we're loosened from their
tight grip on the edge of the bench, where he
had been squeezing for victory, and he smiled
again. The game was hard fought and beauti-
fully played throughout. and the excitement
among the ten thousand was intense. Phillips
and Riddle aud Baker and Townsend
were the batteries. Baker struck out more
men. but he gave more bases on balls. and
Phillips was steadier i'll his work. The Senators
showed that they had regained their eye for
base hits. and made plenty of them just when
they were needed. although eleven Washing
tonians were left on the bases.

hunted and sacrificed himself. sending Henry

failed TO stop Mack's swift grounder, Henry
and Long scoring. Then Ray and MAY each

two-bagger. In the seventh the score was tied.
Bader was safe on a wild throw to first from
thlrd, Gleason made a twO-bagger and scored
