"
The WashingtOns yanquished by the Skillful
Pitcher From Brooklyn.
SWELL well. they can't win every time" was
the cheerful and philosophical reflection of the
crowd as it made its way slowly and sadly out
of the ball grounds yesterday afternoon after
the Brooklyns had ceased having fun with ''our
boys" Manager Dave Foutz ..called the turn ~
when he said on Monday night after the
slaughter of his own men, ''We'n have a man
in the box tomorrow whom warrant they won't
hit" Stein was the gentleman and his delivery
proved an enigma that the local men couldn't
solve. Six hits were the sum total
of the Washington mems batting
true, two of them were triples. but
neither counted. At one time Washington had
three on bases and only one out. and that irri-
Eating Mr. Stein twirled in twisters with such
English on them that when hit they went up
III the air and were captured with ease, and not
run was scored. 1t was magnificent pitching.
and no club need feel ashamed to fall before it.
Yet, next time the Washingtons face it-well.
there's 10 use making boasts. but if Brother
stem doesn't feel their vengeance there are
false prophets in Washington.
The run getting begin in the second inning
After Danny Richardson had taken in fly
from Larkin's bat Farrell delighted all hearts
with long hit over toward the bulletin board
and didn Z stop running until he had landed on
third Mrlvey cracked sharp one between
first and second but Danny was waiting for itand
hurled it to the plate. Farrell had made dive
for home. but was caught between bases. Sui
IVAN came to the rescue with liner to right
and Mnlvey scored. How the crowd did shout.
Esper hit TO Richardson and retired.
Then the visitors went to work and beat us
In one inning. Tom DAILY opened with triple
over 'Rourkes head. Richardson scored him
with a single over short and took third on
Esper's wide throw to Larkin. irving to catch
him of first. Corcoran scored Dan by single
out to Radford. Con Daily was given first on
balls. Stein forced Corcoran at the plate by a
hit to Sullivan. Griffin flied out to Radford
and Daily scored. With The three runs Brook
lyn stopped for awhile
q -Four innings of very sharp play followed
and no one crossed the plate
sullivan opened the fifth with triple to left.
Radford took first on balls on Hoy on Foutz's
muf. But with three on bases and only one
out the Washingtons couldn't hit safely.
o RoUrke popped up a fly and Wise foul
double. triple and single gave Brooklyn two
more in the seventh. In the eighth four singles
and double scored four runs
Considering that the visitors had the game
won, they did an immense amount of unneces-
sary kicking. When Burns was at the bat he
protested SO vigorously against Umpire Nc
Laughlins decisions on balls and strikes that
the latter fined him. Thereupon he became SO
abusive that he was ordered to leave the game.
Foutz protested and delayed the game so that
watch was pulled. This brought tire visitors
to their senses and Kinslow was quickly
called to take Burns place. The
exhibition made was silly and sehseless and Nc
Laughlin had the support of the entire gather

Esper in sending two men to bases on balls and
if kicking was in order it would have come with
