Yesterdays GAME.
Thanks 20 the recently formed habit of the
Senators. of scoring in the first inning they
were enabled to take game from Kirg Kelly
Killers. travelling without King Kelly. the tally
being to |. The game the r'ay-off OF
that which was attempted Jriy ,. ard which.
after nearly fourteen innings. was rrcTeu;cd
by rain. with the score standing I toll. Yes
terday's contest WAS close and exciting frcnl
the start until tho ihird man vas put out in the
ninth. The home team took Il great brace after
the two poor games which they have Just
played and put up style of field work That vas
well-niGh perfect. There was practically hut
one error made. and that was costly one. int-
ting III the ONLY run which the new from Pork
OpOlis made. Mcclure was IT, author. The
batteries were Foreman and Mctiuirc and
Crane and Vaughan. Neither pitcher WIS hit
at all hard. but Foreman had little the better
of the deal. for he gave fewer bases on balls aud
pitched his best ball after he had been hit.
Twice the visitors made hard singles III success
sion, and yet. through the great work of The
field and Foreman steadincss. they could not
score. The whole game full of unacceptcd
chances. With little better base running the
home team might have had a score of four or
five runs. but since two were enough to win no
one grunIbled.
Dowd made the circuit of the bases in the
son. when Tommy gave Crane chance to retire
him at first. but Edward was too slow about
picking the ball up. and the runner beat it to
the base. the throw hitting him in the neck.
He stole second with great promptness, and
went to third when Slattery did his best 10 sac
rifice That he did not succeed was the fault
of Crane again, who took too much time pick
ing up the bunt hit. Then. a moment later
Slattery ran down and allowed himself to be
put out at second. while Dowd scored unmo-
Tested. Alvord thereupon made nice two
Dagger along the left line, but was left on
second.
With Seery out Andrews came near scoring.
He made single into left and went to second
on Murphy's tumble. The ball was promptly
returned TO the bag. and through the agility
and skill Of McQuery and Dowd was put on the
runner in time. but the umpire saw differently.
Vaughan sacrificed to Slattery-who played a
great game all throughput the next ball also
fell into the same pocket and the team was retired
without a run. After Washington had gone
out in order. Robinson renched first on balls
and stole second and third. but in accomplish
ing the latter feat he ran over his base and was
put out in queer way. The ball had been
thrown to Hatfield by Mcclure and Hat banged
Alvord was quick to nab it as it bounded ill the
air. and he touched the runner three feet off
tho base.
IN THE THIRD
Lehman was given his base and Murphy also.
After Dowd had popped up little foul for
Vaughan, Slattery hit a sharp one out into left
and Lohman tried to score from second. He
overran third too much, however. and was pu-
out at the plate. The only worthy inciden: of
the latter half was a great catch by Murphy of
a long fl I. ON the bat of Crane. that fell into
his hands near the left fence. In the fourth,
with Mcclure out. McQuery hit safely over Sec
ond and Hatfield placed one into lefs. Neither
could score, however. as FUremans hard fly
was taken by Andrews and Lehman put up one
for Canavan. The same fate befell the visitors
In the fifth. when. after Robinson had struck
out, Johnston hit a singer that went through
Alvords hands like a shot and Carney followed
with one in left. There was a man on third
and another on second and Whitney tried to
score them. One of the coachers yelled. III

for Washington. who sat on the bleachers re-
sponded by prophesying: well. you don't git
nawthin. Whitney was very much disguised
on being called out on strikes, especially as the
second one was foul tip. Crane could not
tally the runs, as his drive was handled neatly
by Alvord.
The sixth saw Washington irving hard to
score without success. A bad throw by Canavan
put Alvord on first and after McGuire had
struck McQuery hit and Alvord went to
second. An-error by Vaughan in throwing to
catch him put him on third and he came to
AVIAN. The visitors side of the inning was sharp
and brilliant, with the honors on the side OF
Washington. Hatfield made a great stop and
throw OF Seery's deep grounder and the runner
was called safe. though of that some of the
spectators were doubtful. Avord nabbed hot
liner from Andrews bat and retired his man
and Hatfield did the same for Vaughan.
