audience whose sympathies are supposed to be
with the home club, and as q result q large
number of the persons present left the grounds
before the game was half over thoroughly dis
gusted. They had good reasons to be, for the way
in which the Senators played ball. or, rather,
in which they did not play ball, was very dis
heartening. st. Louis won by the score Of 20
to 4. 1t seemed as if all the men on the team
were demoralized. Give a man chance and
he made an error. II the ball was on the
ground it went through his legs. If 1t was a
he was fielder and went after base hit he
juggled it. At the bat the home players we're
weak, and when, by rare cases Of good luck,
they reached the bases they seemed to have
lost all sense OF how to run with judgment 1t
was show of Generalization that is seldom
seen In first-ciass organization such as the
Washington ball club is supposed to be.
IN THE BOX.
In the first place the pitcher WAS the fairest
sort of a mark for the hitters from the west.
In two lone solitary innings he failed to let his
delivery be hit safely, and the crowd wondered
what was going to happen. But the visitors
made up for these two innings in the Others
samming out singles, doubles. triples and
home runs with the greatest freedom. Bakely
was that pitcher, and yet he is not the only
cause of the defeat for no man could pitch a
game to victory under the circumstances. Yet
the other side earned enough runs to win, CIV
ing Washington all the runs it made. Mcclure
was the catcher and the opposing battery was
Stiyetts and Boyle for four innings and Griffith
and Munyan for the rest Of the game.
THE SCORES.
st. Louis won the game in the first two in
nings, making five runs, 80 that the rest Of the
contest was wearisome aggravation Of &C
emulation. Two runs resulted in the first
roma hasa hal1 -
by Smith and Burns and hit by Comiskey that
went through Smith with the speed of light
ming.
Washington scored two in the third and it
really looked as If there might be some fun in
the game for a minute or So Visner was given
four bad balls and Hatfield and McQuery sac
rlficed. Smith went to first on balls and Nc
CURE smashed one out over the head of Fuller
for base and two runs we're scored. Then
Bakely had the good fortune to place little
ny in left that was safe and good for two
bases, but Mcclure tried to reach the rubber
on 1t from second and came to grief. This tied
the score, but not for long, as this was the
nearest that the home team ever came to a VIC
tory. In the latter half St. Louis made three
runs. Stivetts went to first on balls and Egan
sacrificed. Munyan gave Hatfield keen liner
that he failed to handle and Stivetts scored on
Burns tumble. Hoy went to first on balls
again and Fuller hit to right for base and
Manyan scored. Mccarthy hit through Smith
and Hoy was caught at the plate by Hatfield.
Mccarthy sacrificed himself between first and
second in order that Fuller might score, which
he did.
SOMETIMES CALLED PUDDING.
In the third, with two out, Burns and visner
went to first on balls, but McQuery popped
back a foul for the catcher. st. Louis made
four runs and clinched the game. Lyons led
with home run into right center, Comiskey
and Stivetts made singles and Egan hit for two
bases. These hits. together with two bases on
balls and an error by DOwd. did the business.
Washington made one in the fourth. Smith
went to first on balls and Mcclure hit for two
bases and Smith scored. Bakely's sacrifice put
Mcclure on third, but Dowd struck out.
st. Louis made three in the last half on single
by Egan and double by Munyan. together
with base on balls, mans being hit aid
an error by Hatfield: For two innings
order, only, it would seem, to get
breath for an effort in the seventh, when six
runs were scored. This was accomplished by
means of base on balls, a bunt hit, a sacrifice
by Hoy, joint error by Hatfield and Beecher
who let the ball hit by Fuller go through them,
a two base hit by Mccarthy, triple by Lyons
single by Comiskey and errors by Bakely and
Dowd.
Washington scored in the eighth on little
