How We GOT SEVENTH PLACE.

and it may be but a fitting dream. but it is
nevertheless sweet 10 think about Seventh
place. Ii has come at last and the Senators
have gracefully resigned their position at the
end Of the association line to the down-rushing
Colonies, who were generous enough TO accept
the gift and never say word The change
took place Yesterday, when the Louisville team
did not play and the Washington team did.
The latter won it game from the Athletics Dy

better fielding and better luck
The batteries were Rlteliorg. Carsey. Nc

was long and at times interrupted by rain. so
that its latter half was played on a field of
sloppy combination of mud anu sawdust. The
run getting began in the second inning, when
the Athletics scored two runs and the Nationals

tors the game. The Athletics made their two

sacrifice and hit. For Washington Mcclure
made n single and he and AlyOrd b-eathed
easier when COrcor@n made bad throw OF the

might have been made Mcclure crossed the
rubber when McCauley hit for a base and Al

McCauley scored IN turn when Murphy lined

balls Wild pitch enabled Carsey to score.
and when Chamberlain threw wildly to first on

Ii Was a sad case of Decentralization on the part
enough hits to make the thing interesting.
THE GAME WAS WON.
There we're no runs made in the third inning
and then the game was stopped for fully twenty
minutes by rain. 1t went on in the midst Of
sawdust galore and McTamany started the
fourth with q two-bagger and went to third on
Corcorans sacrifice. He tried to score when
Mulvey put grounder in the infield and came
20 grief at the rubber. Then Cross and Cham

runs were scored of necessity. while Chamberlain
tailed when Avord fumbled grounder by
Wood 1t looked though the Nationals
might be going to make the same sort of an ex-
hibiiion as the other side did and give the game
away, but the next ball hit was a long hy by
Beecher to right and Murphy was there in his
own peculiar form and the side was retired.
Three runs placed the score at to Z. and the
Senators were not out of the woods by any
means They added one to their tally in the
latter half. With Murphy out at first Dowd hit
TO Mulyey, and went on to second when Black
Jack threw over Larkin's head. scoring when
Griffin put the ball out Of reach for base.
A CHANGE OF PITCHERS.
Neither side scored in the fifth, Carsey re-
hsying Eiteljorg and pitching so well that not
another Philadelphian crossed the rubber dur
ing the remainder Of the game, while the Sem
stors went on in their mad career toward
seventh place. They made two runs in the
sixth. the last Of the game. Murphy. after hit

called out Griffin. usual. came TO the
cue Of his nimble friend from Boston and sent

CURE endedthe inning by striking out.
The game was called at the end of tine eighth
because Of darkness, the early delay account
of tie rain serving To put the contest well along
in the evening. Washington made 10 hits and
errors and the Athletics 10 hits and errors
When Carsey took EitcljOrS's place in the
fifth inning Mcclure who had been catching
went 20 right held. Murphy going to left and
Satellite taking MeGuire's place behind the
bat. This Is an additional argument in favor
of the engagement OF regular left or right
fielder, SO that the catchers can he let alone in
their own positions.
