TIoNALs HAVE DONE.
IF THE STATESMEN CAN BUT KEEP UP
1.-The gait in their ball playing that they found
yesterday in the game against the Athletics,
which they won by the score Of four to two,
there will be no more kicks or growls against
them on the part Of the public. It seemed as
ii the influence of Dowd on Thursday had
infused every man with q new spirit, and the
way In which the home nine pegged along
steadily for eight innings, keeping the visitors
down to two runs and then jumped in and won
the game by magnificent squirt Of batting.
was more than refreshing. 1t WAS positively
invigorating. Hines and Dowd did the work.
Hines scored two Of the four runs BY his bat
ting and Dowd played q wonderful game at
second as well as doing a large part Of the hit
ting in the ninth when the time had come to
win.
CLEAN FIELDING.
The game was sharp and clean throughout,
with little base running and few errors, light
hitting and no cases Of Generalization. Goose
eggs were rolled up against each side inning
after inning, when it looked as II runs would
surely result The visitors had rather hard
luck In this matter, a. most Of their hits were
made so that no one could score. The in-feld
play OF the Statesmen was at ali times snappy
and effective, and many q run was shut out %
existence by the quickness of the throws across
the diamond.
The batteries we're Carsey and Mcclure and
weighing and Cross. Carsey did well through
out and seemed encouraged by his support
lie gave two bases on balls in the first inning
that resulted in the only runs that the visitors
made, but after that he was steady and effect
I've, scattering the hits made from his delivery
so that they were useless. Weyhing seemed in
vincible for eight innings but he lost his curve
IN some way in the ninth and was pounded
hard
THE Guns

In the game except the bunch made by Wash

custom, reached first on balls and stole second.

head OF the third baseman for base and Hat
held tailed. For the visitors Mailman went to
first on balls and Corkhill sacrificed to Dowd
and MeQuery: Larkin waited for four bad de-
hverles and Wood sacrificed. Then Mulvey hit
the sphere out to right for q base and two runs
were scored. Mulyey was caught trying to
steal second.
UP IN THE AIR.
Then the Senators began series of flies that
invariably landed il the hands of the fielders.

Hines chance to score. For the visitors Wood
hit safely and went to second on a passed bali.
Mnlvey struck ont, and then Milligan put one
through Hatfield, whose tumble gave Wood

when Cross hit down into his territory bv

that retired the side without a run. The crowd
did some lung-work at this juncture.
