OTHER GAMES YESTERDAY.
Good hard hitting again won a game from
the Cincinnati team and the feat was per-
formed so neatly that the 1000 spectators
we're quite willing to forgive the Senators for
their very ragged work of last week. The score
was 9 to and the game was close enough
throughout to be very exciting. The visitors
had men enough on bases again to win if they
could but have scored. but the sharp work of
Washington in the field shut off run after run
and pulled the home team from several very
ugly apertures.
There were times when it seemed as if the
herculean efforts of King Kel would succeed in
pulling the game from the fire, for he pranced
around the field like one who felt the power of
grit and determination. especially in the eighth
inning. when, with three men on the bases and
four runs were needed TO tie the game, he
waltzed up to the bat and sang out to Beecher
to begin to run. But somehow or other he
missed connection with the home run hit that
he was going to make and the ball was caught
by smith and one run was all that could be
tailed.
THE BATTERIES
we're Bakely and Mcclure and Mains, Dryer
and Kelly. Bakely was very wild, and at places
he seemed destined to throw the game by has
Intellectual efforts to get the ball anywhere near
the rubber. Three times he filled the bases by
sending the third man to base on balls, but he
was not quite so bad in this respect as Dwyer,
who not only filed the bases twice in the SIX
innings that he pitched but forced in a run in
the NTH. But Bakvly was not hit hard with all
his wildness, possibly because the visitors could
not reach the ball and had it not been for
great piece of luck that Kelly had in the fifth.
when ball that he hi. struck tree just be-
fore 1t went down in Beechers hands, the score
would have stood to B.
Dowd hart his first finger on his right hand
IN the hrst inning when making bunt hit, and
had to retire from the game. Lehman was
substituted in sesponse to the calls of the
crowd for that popular young man, and the in
field shifted around. Smith went to second,
Hatfield to short and Lehman to third where
he showed himself to be clean, sure infielder,
accepting all of his five chances. He also man
aged to hit the ball hard three times for a base
each time.
THE GAME.
Cincinnati filed the bases in the first on two
bases on balls, an error by Smith and Caravans
being hit but no one scored. this result being
due to Hatfields marvelously quick work in
touching Kelly out at third on Robinson's
grounder and then throwing to first in time to
retire the side without allowing the run to
tally. Washington made one run the latter half
on base on balls to Beecher. Dowd's bunt,
and then, after Burns and Hines had popped
up flies, McQuery's hard single INTO left field,
nelly mufnng the ball at the plate when he had
BeecheI out to a certainty.
Cincinnati made two in the second and took
the lead. With two out Bakely threw Whit
ney bunt badly to first and gave Mains and
hllroy-who was playing in place of Seery-

Lehman chance which was neatly taken

catch OF Caravans ball.
THE SENATORS GET THE LEAD.
Washington then made three runs and took
the lead. Bakely hit for two bases into the right
and Beecher sacrificed. Lehman hit to short
and Bakely foolishly tried to get home. and was
easily out at the plate. Then Burns hit to the

went to first on balls and beth he and Burns
tailed when McQuery hit to the left for two
bags. These three two-base hits disguised

end of the inning. With two out in the fourth

an opportunity. Washington went out in order
Ahe game came near being lost In the fifth.
Cincinnati scored three times and took the lead
temporarily on series of hard hits with good
luck. With one out Kelly's fly struck tree
and the king made three bases. Caravan hit to
right for a base and went to second on Burns
tumble. Robinson hit to left for two bases and
after johnston had struck out Carney made one
skim over second safely and two runs were

TO McQuery.
