But for the rnnkncss of the decisions of Mr..
kerins the umpire. Yesterdays game between
Washington and st. Louis would have been n
| victory for the home team instead of defeat.
The Senators played magnificent uphill
game against all sorts of odds, including the
unfairness Of the umpire. whose voice no:
loud enough TO let his bad decisions be
| heard the blcachers. In the ninth by
wonderful rally they tied the score and sent in
n run that under ordinary circumstances
would have counted and given them the lead.
The decision was not only unfair. but it
palpably inefficient. for IT was delivered be-
| fore the play was made and il looked if he
had already come To the conclusion that il was
high time to call mar out, and the fact that
| the man was Slattery in the act of scoring the
winning run made no difference.
UPHILL WORK.
The game was a queer one, starting out as if
it were goirg to be a procession. it developed
into one of the most exciting contests seen
here this year. The batteries were Foreman
and Mcclure and Griffi:hs, Stivetts and Cook.

until the seventh inning. when Foreman broke
the Ice by banging ball away over Uoy's head
to the left center fence for four bases. Then.
when they were sure of not being shut out, the
Nationals went in and began to bat like fends,
eliminating in the ninth by a streak that
Melted three runs.
HOW The Runs WERE MADE

first. making four tallies. Hoy hit for base.

Lyons hit to right for three bases. and scored
himself when Comiskey put single over Sec
ond.
Plenty of men were put on the bases after
this by both sides, but there was not enough
batting to let them go around, except in the
fourth. when st. Louis scored one more. With
two out Hoy hit to right for two bases, and,
thanks to the methods of Daily. he was allowed
to go on to third. scoring when Fuller banged
the ball at Alvord so hard that that faithful
man could not handle ii. Alvord. by the way.

FoREMAS's HOMER.
II was in the seventh that Foreman hit SO
hard for four bases. and the crowd wen. beside
itself for joy. The hit was very long, and
when it started Hoy gave one look at it and
then. turning like frightened dog. made for
the woods. The ball sailed fa- above his head
and went TO the fence. while Foreman scored
before it was thrown up to the middle out
field.
In the eighth one more run was added to the
scant score of the home team. Slattery lifted
a safe hit into center that Hoy tried to catch
letting it go through him. so that Slattery made
second. Mcclure hit far out into right center
and Slattery went TO dhird on the sacrifice
scoring a moment later. when Alvord rolled a
grounder TO second to be put out at first.
TIED IN THE NINTH.
The ninth was caution Hatfield was first
at the bat and the ball he hit sailed up like a
foul behind third. Lyons made an effort to
catch ii, but found he couldn't twist himself
sufficiently and lodged aside Just as the ball
fell OF the lime line. marking its fairness
plainly. Ii then bounded away and rolled
among the people and before it could be re-
turned TO the diamond Hatfield was third.
DAILY then put ball at Egan. which that
worthy IN the general decentralization allowed
TO shin up his person and the runner was safe
while Hatfield scored. Foreman put neat
single over third base and Murphy sacrificed

Dowd found the sphere in such way that the
bali went out of reach into left and the two
tying runs were scored. Dowd was run down
between second and third on Slattery grounder
to short and Mcclure given his base on
balls. Griffith merely tossing the ball out of
reach Alvord. however, disappointed him by
hanging the ball out to center for a base and
Slattery dug for home. He hesitated on third
but was coached on and stepped on the rubber
