ginning VIII Not Make q BAD Ending
what the Amateurs Are Doing.
The Senators won the first game Of the
season from the Athletics at Philadelphia
yesterday.
The game was a sharply contested one
from start to finish, and the Washington
boys used the stick with telling effect.
They won the game by the narrow mar
gin of one run. The Washingtons took
the lead in the first inning and never
lost IT, The Philadelphia Times describes
the game rs follows
"rhe game was well and evenly con-
tested up to the eighth inning, when the
Washington men got a batting streak
which, with base on balls and wild
throw by Corcoran sandwiched in. gave
the visitors lead of six runs. Carsey
felt safe and let down little in the next
making the finish very exciting Wcy-
hing had no terrOrs for the opposing bats
men and they batted his speedy curves
hard and clean throughout the game.
Carsey, on the other hand, was an enigma
to the home batsmen, Their hits, be-
sides being scattered were at times
scratchy. Mulvey had two Of these very
shady hits, while Corcoran was the only
man to guage Carsey successfully, securing
two singles and double. Nisncr led the
Senators with two three-baggers, while
Hatfield placed single and triple to his
credit.
"For the most part the chances offered
were of the everyday order allowing
| little in which individual efforts could be
made. COrcoran made two very pretty
| plays and Mulyey executed one of his
| running one. handed pck-ups TO the de-
| light OF thespeCtators. Hatfield and Dun
| lap took care of their territory i'm good
style and Cross and Mcclure attended to
| the backstop work as their reputation dc-
| mands. AS a team, the visitors played IA
much better and stcadier game i'm the
| field, their three double plays being neat"
Carsey, the young California pitcher,
| did very good work in the box, and was
| well backed up. Mcclure showed up
well behind the bat, and 50 did Dunlap at
second and Hatfield at short.
| Dunlap, the captain of the Senators is
| determined TO carry out his threat and
| make some managers sorry that they al
| lowed HIM TO go begging for position.
