Starter Cassidy overlooked Salisbury when
he dropped his flag in the last race yesterday.
and Days horse slipped away with half
dozen lengths advantage, and this lead en-
abled him to beat out Grand Prix by length
and a half. The latter was the third top
heavy favorte TO bite the dust OF defeat and
those who backed Tompkins' horse in the hope
of getting even on the day were loud in their
condemnation of the starters poor work.
Cassidy said afterwards Salisbury wheeled so
quickly he did not at first see him. Presiding
Judge Oyster said the starter should have sent
the field further back before dropping the
flag, as he could by such means get better
sight OF lis horses.
Outside of this start Cassidy's work was
good and no complaints were coming. Three
great big dumps occurred during the day
when Wallace g., Key West, and Grand
Prix were beaten. In the opening event
Wallace G. was played four twos down to

eiCIScIYHATI. June 30.-Unless a diagram
S presented to every Washingtonian with
u score he would not believe that of all
g rgerrors made by the Senators in the last
game OF the series here that oGly one helped
the Reds in their runmaking. That. however,
was the case. Wards tumble of Hoy's sharp
grounder in the third inning enabled Parrott
to run home from second after he had earned
his passage that far.
For long time it looked as if that was des-
tined to be the only run OF the game. Twice
the Senators had the buses full. but Oh the
first of these occasions Cartwright struck out,
and on the last IcPhee made a tine scoop of
Dugdale's grounder. The same full house
once greeted Latham's vision, but he forced
man at third. Canavan dropped fly into
the terrace for home walk in the sixth, but
not until the next inning did the cranks
breathe easy.
Young Mercer had pitched grand ball to
that time. but without warning the storm
broke and there was the greatest batting
rally seen on the grounds this year. One
dozen of the Reds hits were equally divided
in the closing inning and all the runs then
made save Hoy's who was given his base on
balls. were earned.
Parrot was quite wild. but his numerous
gifts only served to make the game exciting,
for in all innings except two there were Sena-
tors on bases waiting for the hits that never
came. Attendance, 1900. Score:
