NOTES.
Good hard stick work and large supply OF
pluck were the elements that enabled the
Washington club to win from the Hartford
yesterday by the score of IS to 8, in the pres
ence of about 1,5O0 delighted spectators. twas
areversal of Saturdays contest, as far as re-
suits go. for at the start Hartford had a large
lead that made the audience shiver and make
MP its mind to see another defeat. But one
could almost hear the sound Of Capt. Gleason's
teeth gritting together when his men came in
to take their turn at the bat in the fth inning,
and then it was that the home team showed
what they could do, for from that point on
they batted like fends and had things all their
own way. Manager Sullivan also did some
teeth-gritting and at the beginning of the game
made up his mind to keep one pitcher in the
box throughout the game, whether he was
batted all over the lot or not So young Mr..
Phillips was put up to twirl, and twirl he did.
doing some excellent work at times and making
very large contribution to the victory. OPP
posed to him and Nicholas were OConneL and
Moore. who were invincible for four innings.
But then the Senators found out the combIna-
ton and batted at a terrific rate.
o'BRIES's oyER-ASxIETY.
The home team fielded much better than on
Saturday but O'Brien developed the fact that
he is a sufferer from that dangerous disease
nerves. for at times he seemed to be COM
pletely ratified. There is no doubt as to his
ability as ball-player. however, either in the
minds of the players or the shrewd public
whatever may be the opinion of few persons
who pass snap Judgment on man before he
has had n chance to steady himself. The men
of the home team confident that O'Brien
can ''play ball out of sight" when he gets his
hand ill., and they attribute his errors in these
two games to an over-anxiety to show the
Hartford men, some of whom are from his old
town. that he is right along at the head of the
procession. Whatever o Brien may have done
in the way Of resultless small error-making
yesterday,
HE SAVED THE HOME TEAM
from defeat when. in the fifth inning, with
three men on bases, two out, jeremiah gave
one mighty swing Of his wagon tongue and
sent the ball sailing away out between left and
center. Henry tried to get it, but it was too
far away, and when the ball came in the batter
was sitting ON third base trying to get his
breath. But before he had done so Nicholas
had smashed a ball into almost the same spot
and in minute more he took O'Brien's place
"
The score was tied, to 6. The good work
was continued in the sixth inning when Bader
reached first on Lynch's error. stole second,
went to third on Jordan's sacrifice and scored
when Gleason placed ball against the left
center fence for three bases. Whistler went to
first on balls and stole second and Hills sacri-
nee scored Gleason. Then Bird lined out
sharp single and scored Whistler amid the
cataract-Ike roars of the crowd. Hartford
made two in the seventh base on
balls and Wlnkleman's home run over the
fence. In the eighth Gleason made his second
three Dagger. scoring on Hills third sacrifice.
The visitors filed the bases in their half. with
no one out. but only scored one on O'Brien's
tumble. Phillips struck out two men and
Ninkleman popped up foul. This made the
score stand 10 to 9, uncomfortably close, and
so the Senators proceeded to make 1t sure by
scoring three in the ninth. OBrien went to
first on Lynch's error and Nicholas on balls.
Then Phillips hit hard one out to center field
that went to the fence. bounding past Henry
and the runner reached the home plate. Then
Hartford could not score and the game was
over. Washington made IL hits and 5 errors,
and Hartford hits and errors
