But the Senators Were Defeated-Other Ball
Games Yesterday.
There was good game OF ball at the National
Park yesterday, but the home team lost it. The
team is playing good bali nowadays, but there
Is q Jonah somewhere and they cannot win
until it is found. The score was to in favor
Of the st. Louis team. Washington had the
game well in hand up to the eighth inning, when.
with two men out, three men hit safely and
Hatfield and Dowd made errors, and three runs
resulted for the visitors, winning the game. II
was hard luck, but it had to come. The weather
was cold and the crowd shivered. 1t was 4
good-sized crowd, nevertheless, and it showed
by its attendance upon such a raw day that
Washington is by no means q dead ball town.
| There were about a thousand spectators pres
ent.
The batteries were Bskely and Mcclure aud
McGill and Boyle. Bakeiy pitched a tirst-class
game, and with the support behind him that
he deserved he would have won the game, even
though he did show signs in that eighth inning
of weakening. Washington made seven hits
and three errors and 81. Louis six hits and two
errors.
Tow THE GAME WENT.
No one scored in the fret inning. . double
play shutting on Dowd. who leads the batting
list, and who went to frst on balls. st. Louis
base on called balls and Mccarthy sacrificed to
Burns, who made . wonderful catch in center,
where be was playing in place of Hines.
Mccarthy did not mean the hit for sacrifice,
and was very much disguised when Burns took
ton It on the tips OF his fingers. Con,iskey put q
! little bunt to Bhkely, who fumbled 1t 80 that
the runner was safe. Then Boyle hit out q
surs-enough sacrifice fly 10 Burns, on which
Lyons scored.

This seemed TO nerve the Warrington men
up to better work, for they scored one in each
OF the three succeeding innings. In the third
Mcclure went TO first on balls and Bakely sac
rificed very artistically to the pitcher. Dowd
mt ball which went clear through Shorty
Fuller, and Mcclure, who was lucky to reach
third In safety, was coached on TO try FOR home,
and was put out At the plato. But Beecher had
luck In hitting the ball SO that it fell between
short, third and left field, and he made two
bases, while Dowd scored. In the latter half
Hoy went to third on his single and one, very
Little bunt by Fuller, but the next three men
were put out, and no one could score. 1t was
a piece Of good work for Bakely and the men be-
hind him. In the fourth, after visner had
struck out, McQuery hit for two bases into
right field and Hatfield went to first on balls
A Wild pitch put them each up a base and
smith hit TO Egau at second, who threw home
to catch McQuery.
SMITH THEN SHOWED HIS HEAD
by running down the alley and letting Hatfield
score while he was being put out. Comiskey
led OF in the last half with q hit to right. but
was thrown out trying to take second on
steal. In the nth, after Mcclure had struck
out, Bakely tried to avoid the ball and was
lucky enough to hit Ii with his bat and send il
over Egans head for base hit. Dowd
promptly hunted and went to first, and he aud
Bakeiy went ahead one each on passed ball.
Beecher hit down to Lyons, who, in his eager
ness 10 catch the runner at the plate fumbled
and Bakely was safe. With Dowd on third and
one out, Beecher was thrown out at second
while trying to steal, but Dowd had no chance to
60 home. The next man went out from second to
trst.
No more runs we're made by either side until
the eighth inning, when, after Fuller and Nun
yam had gone out, Lyons hit for two bases into
left field. Mccarthy then smashed one, which
caromed on Bakely' leg and rolled safe over to
smith With Lyons on third Mccarthy tried
TO steal and Hatfield let the throw go through
hlm into center field and Lyons scored. Com
iskey MT TO center for two bases and the score
was tied. Boyle lined one down over the rough
turf-the diamond having been sodded-and
Dowd was just about to scoop ii up and retire
the side with the score tied, when he slipped
and fumbied and Comiskey tailed the winning
run, as 1t proved. McGill hit to Bakely and
went out at first.
