Baltimore is in state OF ferment today over
the ignominious defeat Of the Orioles yester-
day in that city by the Statesmen. The score was
to 4, and the il blue just now in the monu-
mental town, which is quite disgusted with the
| four straight games that the team has dropped
of late. Washington batted hard and felded
well and won in a canter, although handicapped
severely by the bases on balls given to the other
side by Pitcher Freeman, who relieved Fore
man in the second inning. Foreman was doing
nicely. but he was hit on the elbow by pitched
ball and had to retire. Freeman WAS wonder
fully wild. He filled the bases repeatedly and
gave the Orioles opportunities to score that are
appalling at this juncture. They could not bat
him safely, however, and he struck them out
Just often enough to make them hit the ball to
the infield into the hands of the players. The
support given to the young man was what
saved him from an ignominiCus defeat As it
was there were thirteen men left on bases for
Baltimore, and that is why the town is howl
ing.
Bakely was in the box for Baltimore. and he
was an easy mark for the Nationals Mcclure
was in his glory and made three singles. He
must have been ION to" Bakely's signs. SUIT
cliffe hit it out couple OF times, Blu. the most
opportune hit of the day was in the ninth by
McCauley, who, with three men on bases,
cleared the circuit by banging the sphere out
for double. 1t was the only hit that he made
in the game, but it counted more than any of
he others.
STATESMEN TAKE THE LEAD.
There were few over 200 people at the
game. 1t was started with Washington at the
bat. Tho Nationals secured three places on
the bags all at once in the first, but no one
could bat the men in, and the first inning went
| without any runs being scored. In the second
the Statesmen took the lead by scoring twice.
Dowd hit it out for a base and took another
when Alvord sacrificed to Bakely. Foreman
| then got his blow on the arm that knocked him
out of the game, and when he was forced at
second by Murphy Dowd went on to third.
Townsend was kind in a minute to let a
ball pass him and Dowd scored. while Lawrence
Patrick went to third. Griffin drove a slow
one at Werden and the latter fumbled it,
Murphy scoring. Gilbert put an end to the
agony by taking Sutcliffs's grounder.
There was nothing done in the third inning,
but in the fourth the Statesmen duplicated
their work Of the second. Dowd started of
with another hit and Alvord did the same
thing. They were both ground balls to Gilbert,
but the runners were able to beat them to first.
Freeman and Murphy each sacrificed and
Dowd scored while Alvord went to third.
Grlfhn hit to center for base and brought in
Alvord's run. Griffin thought he could steal
second, but he was convinced to the contrary.
The Senatorial lead was increased in the fifth
by one run. Sutcliffe and Mcclure rivaled
each other with safe hits and McCauley sacri-
feed to Werden and put Sutcliffe on third.
Hatfield sent grounder to Gilbert, who threw
nome anu ult ou tHC AHc
scored Mcclure on third with but one
out, but Dowd struck out and Alvord hit to Ray
at short and died.
COULDN'T HIT FREEMAN.
Freeman was presenting the Orioles with
bases with great regularity in the meantime.
but they could not hit, nor did the Statesmen
make errors. 1t must have been quite aggra-
