THE NATIONALS DESERVED DEFEAT.

ward OF loose fielding and weak batting, and
the victory of the Brewers, by the score of 5 70
4, was deserved. The Statesmen had 10 bust
ness winning with such playing
Duke and Mcclure and Davies and Grim
were in the points for the day. Duke was
elective enough for any sort of a contest in
which his own side batted, but Milwaukee hi
him just hard enough to score with nauseating
frequency Davies was quite puzzle to the
Statesmen. They could not hit him hard OF

two clean hits were made in succession Hard

Cauley. who should feel very small today
robbed the home team. of a run and probably
more. Most of the Senatorial hits were little
scratches, just out of reach.
THE GAME.
Milwaukee went first to bat and was retired
in order. The Statesmen scored one run in
their half. Murphy went down on balls and
stole second, going TO third on the bad throw
to the base. Then Shannon and McGuire
struck out and Sutcliffe came to the conclusion
that if the run was to be scored he might as
we'll do it. So he put a little extra speed to his
bat and sent the bail out into left center for
two bases. Curtis then lifted a high fly to
Petit at second.
The visitors came very near scoring in the
second. and it was not the fault OF the home
team that they did not. Dalrymple was pre-
sented with three livss and he managed to die
on third at last. Shannon gave him his first
chance on tumble and then Sutcliffe made a
good catch but a poor throw of Earls line fly
and Dalrymple. though he had gone down to
second III the belief that il was safe, was ena-
bied TO get back. The next piece of generosity
was on the part of Davis. Duke caught BAL
rymple off first and he was run down. Nc

Davis called him safe. though the man had de-
hberately gone out of the line if lie had not
been touched besides. wild pitch sent him to
second and sacrifice hit by Shoch. from AL
word to first, let him reach third. but Carney
hit to shannon and the inning WIS half over.
Washington could not do ANYTHING in the
Latter half, nor could Milwaukee in tie third
The Statesmen. however. showed what poor
hitting they could do on pinches in their half
OF the third. With Duke out, Murphy reached
first on juggle by Canavan. Shannon hit the
ball 20 that it caronled off the hand OF Petit
who made a desperate effort to reach it, Then
both runners were sent ahead by MCGUIRE
who. with three balls called and but one strike,
hit al a miserable pitch and hunted down 10
Shoch, who let him of with a sacrifice. SUIT
chfie might have scored two runs. but ne did
not, hitting hard one at Carney. who took il
and threw to Davies in time.
THE SCORE TIED.
Milwaukee tied tine score in the fourth. Pet
tit was given frs. on called balls and stole
| second. going all the way home on poor throw
by Mcguire and q muff by Alvord when the
runner charged down the line to him. Thi,
left no one on the bases and the next three mel
went out, Aiyord making "a fine catch Of Dial
rymples fly.
McCauley reached second in this inning with
but one out on a base on balls and wild pitch
but no one could score him.
The Brewers went ahead one run IN the fifth
Shoch was ont. when Carney hit to right
cleanly for q base and Grim followed with a
safe one along the right line for another
Carney. who went TO third. scored when Davies
flied out to Murphy. The runner might have
been cut off had not Murphy thrown just a
little to the east Duke was nervous and when
the ball came in he snapped it wildly 10 Nc
CURE and it rolled to the stand, Grim going
to second on the play. Burke then hit a
bounder that Duke should have left alone but
he reached after it and made an error. Burke
stole, but Petit flied out to Sutcliffe.
TIE HARD LUCK
Of the Statesmen made itself felt Duke was
out when Murphy lined one over second for a
out to right for couple of bases. Earl re-
turned the ball TO third to catch Murphy, and
the throw was so wild and so hard that il went
over Shoch's head to the little bleachers.
Murphy was coached home and would have
scored had not the ball bounded SO hard that
Shoch had no trouble In reaching it in time.
Shannon was on third. and one run might have
been scored had Mcclure hit safely, but he
flied out TO Burke.
The visitors increased their lead in the sixth,
making another Caravan hit over second and
DaIrymple sacrificed by hitting to Duke, who
Earl fled to Curtis, but Shoch hit along the
left line for two bases. A wild pitch sent him
to third, and Carney went to first on balls and
stole. Grim flied ont to center.
STUPID BASE RUNNING.
McCauley got in his fine work as q base run
ner in this inning. Two men were out when
he went down or balls. Dowd put up ball
back Of first that might have been either an
out OF a safe hit, but McCauley. forgetting that
there were two out was afraid to run. and he
had hard work reaching second. 1t was only
through the rattles OF Petit that he did So
Dowds bat WAS broken III the hit. Then Al
word gave Canavana chance 20 make an error
which he accepted, and the bases would have
been filled had not McCauley overrun his base
at third and been put out trying to get back.
cLINCHrSG THE VICTORY.
The Brewers ciinched their victory in the
seventh, when two more runs were added to
the tally. Davies led with a two Dagger into
right and Burke went to first on balls Petit
sacIinced TO AlvOru ana Canavan struck out
Dalrymple might have been an easy out had
not his hit been safe. The game might have
been won had not the other side made so many
runs Asit was Dalrymple, instead of falling
@ victim TO Dukes curves, hit one Of them for
two bases to right. and he was permitted to
reach THIRD on Alvord's muff Of Hatheld's
throw Of the toss in by Sutcliffe. Earl flied
out to Alvord.
Washington went out in order in their half,
two men hitting grounders to Shoch.
There was great danger that the visitors
would go far ahead in the eighth, as two men
hit for bases in succession and passed ball put
them on second and third. Two were out. how
ever, and the next man was called out, though
there are still some doubts about il. The play
was from Dowd to first, and the umpire thought
IL time to oven up for Washington.
In the latter half. with one out Satellite hit
just over Pettit's head for base and went to
second on Curtis sacrifice. McCauley Was not
equal to the emergency and lined one at Shoch,
who took it in.
After Milwaukee had gone out in order in the
ninth, Washington had IL ground In by Davis
so As to make the wound Of defeat all the more
smarting. Dowd lifted q queer little ball to-
ward Davies, but in trying to catch it the
pitcher rolled over in the base line lust In front
