THE DISASTROUS WESTERN TRIP

Of the Washington base bail nine came TO an
end Yesterday when st. Louis defeated the
Statesmen BY the score Of ~ to .. IL has been
. very disastrous trip. Indeed. almost all
western trips or eastern tips Of the team, for
tina: matter. are disastrous. Tripping IL a dis
astrous psstiIle for Washington bail clubs,
Snyway.
r. game PLAYED yesterday q very bad
one. Sixteen errors were made altogether.
and each side made the same number The
only Senators who did not make mlsplGvs were
Carsey. who was pitching. and Donovan
NcCiuire caught Carsay and the Brown battery
was Rettger, Bdrrill and Boyle
The Statesmen could not bat at all. except in
one inning when three singles, double AMI
nome run were secured of the delivery OF
Rsttger. This list embraced all but one of the
Washington hits. On the other hand the
Browns began to bat Carsey hard early in the
game and they kept 1t up throughout. earning
six runs and getting SIX others on errors OF one
sort OF another.
The Browns had scored six runs before
Washington made one. Three of them were
made In the first and three others in the third
In the first the business was done by means of
three singles and a home run. together with an
error. That sort of work wOuld make three
runs almost anywhere. In the third there was
a single by Comiskey. error by Curtis,
base on balls to Boyle. q sacrifice by McSwee-
ney. error by Dowd and a single by Fuller.
In the latter half Of the third inning WASH
lngton made one run Carsey went down ON
balls and scored after Donovan had hit safely
and McSweeney had let Mcclure 5 roller 90
between his feet.
In the nth inning Rettger hit the ball under
the right-field bleaehers and tailed home
run Boyle did the same thing in the sixth
and this put the Browns seven runs ahead
GETTING THE LEAD.
There was little hope when Washington went
in for the latter half Of the SIXTH but there was
more when they went out at the end OF the in
ming. Some very pretty batting and some very
rocky fielding produced eight runs Dowd,
Hatfield and Mclaughlin each hit for base
and efter Carsey had gone out Murphy hit the
sphere for home run. McSweeney. Rick and
Comiskey were making errors just then and so
when McGuire hit for two bases the run getting
WAS materially aided.
This put Washington one run ahead. but ST.
Louis made two in the seventh and regained
the lead Two more in the eighth clinched
the victory and the game was called at the end
Of this inning.
Washington made hits and errors and 81.
Louis, l6 hits and errors.
