Lost the Game.
BALTIMORE, May 5.-At no stage OF the
game here to-day was Washington in 1t, as
the Orioles played all around the visitors and
won hands down. Bad errors by Joyce in the
first two innings gave the visitors three runs,
and after that the result was never in doubt.
The Senators had not much difficulty in find
ing Browns curves, but they nearly always
hit the ball straight at a fielder. Joyce. Cart
wright and Hassamaer were the only ones
who sent the ball safe. The Washingtons
played with little or no life, in strong contrast
with the fast work of their opponents.
Tho home team set the crowd wild with de-
light in the eighth inning when they retired
the Senators on triple play. Joyce had led
off with a single and Abbey was given first on
balls. McGuIre sent grounder TO third
which McGraw shot down TO second in time
TO retire Abbey, and Bonner threw Mcclure
out at first. Brouthers propelled the ball over
TO McGraw and Joyce was caught off third.
The play was effected SO cleanly and quickly
that for moment the full extent was not
realized.
Young Mercer pitched q fairly good game,
but his support was not at all up to the stand
ard. Te6eau. Mcguire. and Sebach being
offenders. us well as Joyce. The captain had
three unnccepted chances in the first two in
nings. which were most damaging, two being
wild throws and the other miss of Radford's
throw to third. Tebeau was slow in handling
ground hits. while Selbach made wild
throw 10 first, which cost "A run. McGuire's
error was miss of 4 thrown ball, allowing
Keeler to score in the sixth inning. Mack
was spiked by the runner and the error was
partly eNcusable.

more added another in the fifth on a single
by Brouthers' and Kelley's triple. In this in
ming Robinson was called out for foul
strike, while Clarke was ordered off the
coaching line by the umpire. The Orioles
piled up three more in the sixth on hits by
McGraw and Keeler and Keley's home run to

half OF the SEVENTH when Selbach was given

play above mentioned cut off Washington's
chance to score, but in the ninth hits by Cart
