Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1891-08-05

Both Foreman and Crane were in good shape
yesterday in Cincinnati. and the hitting of both
the Senators and the Kelleys was very weak.
Nine hits were made in the game. The Nation
ais lost the tally through misfortune i'll having
their only error made ut IN iuopportune time,
while the hitting of the other side was all of the
most effective sort. The score was to 2. and
the game was close ard interesting from the
start to the finish. Washington took the lead
in the first inning. and held it until the eighth,
when the Porkites. having made one previously,
jumped in with rush and scored twice, taking
the lead that won the game. Sutcllffe was be-
hind the bat. and his work was not trst-class.
two passed balls being credited to him. The
same combination of Dowd in left. Shannon at
second and Hatfield at short was played, and
with no particularly noticeable results. The
dispatches from Cincinnati indicate that it was
Hatfield's error IN the eighth that helped things
along for the two Cincinnati runs. but just how
1t was made and in what way /. helped Is not
known. His was the only misplay of the Sena-
torial side. however. the rest of the team play
ing remarkably we'll On The other hand the
errors of Cincinnati, though four times as nu-
merous did not seem to count for anything,
and the hits of Washington. which were just as
many as the Cincinnati errors, were unayalling
except for two small runs. Griffin showed
some promise at the start of making mince-
meat of Crane just for the sake of record. but
Crane took revenge on him and hit him with q
hard drive the second time he went to the bat,
and he had TO retire from the game. Carsey
taking his place in center. Crane improved as
the game progressed, and after the third inning
Washington could not hit safely.
Washington made four hits and one error
and Cincinnati five hits and four errors.
BOSTON wHIrEwAsHED.
Washington was not the only team that was
beaten thrice in succession, for the Boston
aggregation fell yesterday for the third con-
secutive time before the st. Lous combination.
The score was to o. Stivstts was out of reach
and kept the Beaneaters down to three small
and scattered hits. O'Brien was Just easy
enough to keep the Browns trotting around the
bases in four innings and to make ten hits.
The fielding was fair, st. Louis making one
error and Boston four.
That was the only game played in the asso-
citation beyond that of Washington, and az the
Louisville team could not play on account of
rain it could not win, and consequently it
could not regain seventh place. Had it not
been for this general inability Washington
might this morning be humbled again.
