National League.
The SENATORS WIN.


Yesterdays game was not expected to be q
victory for this town. yet it was. 1t is the I'M
expected that happens in base ball. The score
was 2 to 8, and it would probably have been
much more in favor of the Statesmen had not
. rain storm occurred to put an end to the
slsaghter. The Nationals started out in the
game as if they were going to pour oil on the
troubled Baltimore waters by giving the
Orioles the game, for they made four rank
error In quick succession that enabled the
otfbr side to score three runs. Then they
picked MP. and by batting like fiends and play
ing reasonably well in the field they managed
20 pull ahead and get a good lead before the
rain came in the seventh inning
BATTERIES AND BATTERs.
Carsey and Sutclife and Healy and Robin
son we're in the points. Carsey was very ef-
feotive and he pitched ball that made the eyes
of the 500 spectators open in surprise. Healy
wss easy mark and the Senators made merry
with his curves and shoots. Sutcliffe espe-
oiany was joyful over the opportunity thus
presented him TO fatten his average. and he
wound rp in the game with a record Of q
single, q double and home run. Mcclure
secured q triple hit and a single. Griffin q
double and a single, and Dowd drew a package
containing a triple.
Hatfield and Carsey were the only Statesmen
who did not hit safely. Hatfield had an off
day all around, making three errors out of four
chances
BAD BEGISSISa.
The first inning had black and orange tone
about it. Baltimore certainly had the bulge on
the game at that period. The Orioles first went

balls. Carsey thought he saw a chance TO
catch him of the base and his throw went
wild. while Van went to third. Ray likewise
waited for balls to pass him, and then he stole

and Van Haltren scored. while Ray went to
third bag Warden hit for a base and Raw
tailed Murphy thought that il was his time
to contribute to the last column in the score
table and he let the hit go through his feet,
while Werden scuttled around to third. Wise
put n ball at Dowd, who returned it to the
plate IN time to catch Werden. who hurt his
foot in sliding to the rubber. WISE
who had gone to second in the melee,
crossed the plate on a rafting two
base hit to right by johnson. Hatfield managed
to tumble a ground ball from Gilbert's bat and
johnson went along to third. II looked as if
the inning might never end and the Senators
were hoping that the black clouds that over
hung the field might pour forth their contents
Robinson, though. hit a ball that rolled into the
hands Of McCauley and the third man was
finally put out That inning produced all of
the runs and half OF the hits of the Baltimores
In the second half of the first Washington
closed the gap little, and encouraged itself
Murphy and Dowd each put up a foul which
was taken by the catcher. but Griffin reached
first on balls and scored when Mcclure hit for
three bases Satellite followed with double.
and Mcclure trOtted home. NcCauley sent
one at Gilbert. who froze to the ball. and the

Griffin hit out a sharp single into left field.
Dowd had gone around TO third and crossed
the rubber when Mcclure sent a safe one
spinning out to right Sutcliffe placed a neat
ball beyond the reach Of Gilbert and filed the
bases Then McCauley banged the sphere so
hard that Ray. though he made a desperate
effort TO get II, failed to make connections.
and two runs were scored. No one was out
yet, and the batting streak seemed good for
more runs. but the next three men went out
In order. and no more runs were scored. Hat
held hit TO short and died at first Avord struck
out and Carsey sent an easy one to Werden.
The fourth was unproductive. In the fifth
the Statesmen went ahead one when Sutcliffe
hit hard ball that johnson tried to catch.
IL was a useless task. for the ball was not to be
caught, and 1t rolled on and on until il reached
the fence. and Suit was enabled to tally home
run The last score of the game was made in
the sixth. Carsey took advantage of a wild
and Griffin went to his assistance with two
Dagger that let him cross the rubber
