TWO DEFEATS.

The Statesmen are not starting out on their
western tour very well. Two games have
already been lost through poor fielding and
this is one OF the most aggravating causes of
all to which to attribute the defeat of a base
ball nine. Saturday the team went under by
the score Of to and yesterday again with
the tally sanding IS to s. Keliys men were
the yictors in both cases.
In Saturdays game Carsey pitched and it
was another case of bad support. He did re-
markably well and kept the hits of the other
side down TO q minimum. while Washington
was batting Mains freely. Yet the errors of the
Nationals and the fact that their hits were well
scattered gave Kelly an opportunity that he
was not slow to accept, taking lead in the Sec
ond inning and keeping it throughout the game.
SATURDAYS SCORES
Shannon was somewhat under the weather
and could not play, SO Hatfield took his place at
short and took four of his five chances In the
second inning Johnston went to second on a
safe hit into left and tumble by Sutcliffe,
scoring when Hatfield made poor throw OF
Carneys hard drive over second, which he
stopped by magnificent effort. In the third
two more were scored by Cincinnati on a
tumble by McCauley hit by Seery. a juggle
by Murphy, sacrifice and a two-bagger by
Canavan: In the fourth inning McCauley
scored Washington's first run on his own three
Dagger and a single by Carsey. The score stood
II
two more and Washington another. The
two were made by base on balls to Seery-the
only one Carsey gave-a hit by MARI. which
Murphy fumbled, and a single by Kelly. In
the ninth Aivord gave Johnston chance by
making an error. and the run was scored
Washington made IL hits and errors and
Cincinnati hits and errors
powSED on SUNDAY.
Yesterday for four innings Washington had a
chance with the Porkites and there was some
show Of winning, but in the fifth the Kelly
people began to pull away and after that it was
very much Of procession. The batteries we're
Elteljorg and Sutcliffe and Dwyer and Kelly
Dowd played left field and Hatfield short,
Shannon going to second. The combination
was not phenomenaliy successful, though Hat
field demonstrated his ability to help a team
out by his batting by making three safe hits.
He and shannon had an error each Both
sides batted hard, but Washington had the
more hits. Cincinnati. however, PLAYED per-
fectly in the field. and that was the reason WHY
Washington had to earn all of its runs as well
as why 1t lest the game. The errors of WASH
ington were made by shannon Hatfield. Crit
fin, Alvord and McCauley
Washington made IA hits and Cincinnati 10.
