WASHINGTON, May 2s-Two games o
baseball for one price of admission drew ou
a big crowd this afternoon, the Senators
victory yesterday over the Pittsburg con
tinCent being of material benefit, so far a
gate receipts were concerned. Honors wer
easy. each side taking game, the serie
thus far played resulting in four victorie
for Washington against one victory fo
Pittsburg. Throughout both contests to
day the greatest enthusiasm prevailed, the
crowd enjoying the heavy slugging and the
indiscriminate slaughter of pitchers. In the
final game placing Danny Richardson al
short proved wise move on the part OF
Manager Irwin, for the position was never
PLAYED better here than has been shown il
the work bv Senator Hills constituent
from Elmira, in the three contests with
the Pittsburg team.
Connie Was in Excellent Form.
Connie Mack's work behind tie bat fo,
Pittsburg has also evoked the most fatter-
ing enconiums and President Young, of the
League, remarked in the grand stand that
he had never seen him doing better, while
his throwing to bases was unsurpassed by
anv catcher in the United States There
was daring exhibition of base running by
Tommy Dowd in the eighth inning of the
second game, by which he tied the score, but
all ofno avail Dowd had been given first
base on called balls, and made a steal of
second, when Robinson came to the bat in
place of Paul Radford, who had sprained
his ankle. PLAYING well up between second
and third bases, Dowd seized the opportu-
nifty when Robinson hunted ball to Bald
win TO steal home with what he hoped
would be the winning run. AS he turned
third base Baldwin was in the act of throw
ing the bail to Beckley, but Dowd kept on
for home base and by daring slide got un-
der Mack in safety, with the most desperate
piece of run getting ever witnessed at a
ball ground IN this city.
Triumph That Didn't Last Long.
His triumph was short lived, however,
for his good work was wasted by the pitch
ing Of Killen, who had been put in as CAST
rights successor.
In the first game the run getting began
for the local nine in the first inning bv
Donovan, after forcing Hoy at second,
the mute trotting to first on four bad balls.
capering home on a sacrifice bv Larkin and
q single BY Duffec. Foreman proved an
enigma 10 the Pittsburgs and for seven inn
ings riphers were all that thev could OBJ
tain. Miller's double and a single by
Shugart, being the only break in the monot-
onv o. one, two, three, varied with an occa-
sional base on balls Washington kept up
its lick in the second inning and practically
decided the contest by making three runs
on a tumble bv Bierbauer of Foreman's
grounder, Dowd's base on balls and singles
* Radford and Hoy. In the seventh inn
ing SBofher run was added to their score,
Rad ord making a tally on his single and
successive sacrifice hits by his comrades.
Managed to Save a shut Ou:.
In the eighth inning Beckley started off
with 4 single and made the circuit on Raw
mond's base on balls, Farrell Is high fly to
center, and Connie Mack's clean hit over
second. No more runs were made In this
game on either side, although Miller
opened up the ninth with a double, but
could get no further than third before the
side was retired.
But the rooters had their hearts in their
mouths all through the second contest, and
it was not until the lucky seventh of the
Washirgtons that thev were afforded an op-
portunity to loosen up their lungs, and they
took every chance with a vengeance.
Blanks were in order on both sides
in the first inning, and then the
Senators renewed hostilities in the run
getting line. Duffee opened up with
single, stole second and scored on Danny
Richardson's triple to right center CAST
right sacrificed himself for his captain and
Dowd gave Mack a foul iv. Pitrsburg
wanted 4 little of the pudding too and
Farrell drove a grounder at Dowd, which
had barbed wire fence whiskers There
was mixture of sheepskin and shin bones,
but Farrell landed at first Mack sent him
along a base by waiting for bad balls while
4 f1-,-i Sol4
They scored Five Big Runs.
Smith filled the bases through the kind
ness OF Gastright, and Miller sent in
couple Of runs with timely single to right
Bierbauer struck out, but this did not dete
Shugart and Beekley from hammering CAST
right tor 4 single apiece, and when Raw
mond finally put fy into Duffee's hands
five red-legged Pittsburgers had crossed
home plate in safety. Turn the tables on
them, boys" whispered Burns, and for the
succeeding four innings not a Senator
poked his nose beyond second base,
Elmer Smith being remarkably ef-
tective up to ''the fatal seventh"
To make assurance dougly sure in the third
inning the PittSburgs put themselves on
easy terms bv adding three scores on safe
hIts by Farrell, Mack and Cork hill, Smiths
1ase on balls and another corking single BY
Miller Just when it was needed Then
Pittsburg took a rest until the eighth The
trouble began ior them, however, in the
seventh when leather hunting expedition
was organized and when it was over Smith
WAS disgraced and Mark Baldwin succeeded
him.
