| The Senators Display Poor Judgment
After Making Good Hits.
| young man from New York named Jack
Hartley ofliciated as umpire yesterday after
noon in the game between the home team and
| the Bostons He wore summer resort cap,
his trousers had "A balk-line crease, and blue
| cheviot coat completed his uniform. His de-
cisions were given quickly, but he was
| terribly off in balls and strikes and his base
| decisions all went to :he visitors. OF course
the young man was tri6e nervous. and it is
to be hoped he viii improve, and there is
much room for improvement.
The Senators were unable to hit Stivetts,
and when they did hit the ball the stupidity
| displayed IN running bases was so extraordi-
nary that there was very little interest in the
game The visitors played the baby act at
every opportunity, and several times Stivetts
declared he would not pitch unless his wishes
were carried out. and to the disgust of the
thousand more spectators the umpire
would invariably carry out his request. On
the whole. the Beaneiters had things their
own way.
FOUR HITS WITHOUT A RUN.
In the first inning four hits were made. but
not IA run crossed the plate. owing TO the
miserable Judgment of the coacher and Has
samer. The home team went first TO the bat,
Ward cracking out a single past Lowe. He
attempted to steal second and was called
out terrible howl went up from the
bleachers and Ward vigorously protested. but
Mr.. Hartley decided him out. and that settled
it, Then Hassamer singled and fell asleep on
first apparently. as he failed 10 take adyan-
tase OF short passed ball. Cartwrights sin
gle put him on second. and a ily advanced
each base. and then the great ''Roarer'
stood like bronze statue rs Abbey beat the
ball to first. II was very dull Just about that
time. wake up, Bill" came from the
bleachers Hassamer moved. but it was too
late, as Duffy made a great catch OF Selbach's
fly.
The second display of stupidity on the base
occurred in the third inning. Cartwright
went to first ON balls ami Mcguire was hit.
Abbey sent one over toward the right field
fence. Bannon was after it Cartwright and
Mcguire seemed riveted to the ground The
bail had struck the wire and bounded back
Cartwright stopped ut third and Mcguire at
second. Abbey went laundering along like
u train making up lost time. Bannon threw
the bali in and Abbey being near second, Lowe
touched him and he was out. Selbach fol-
lowed with a three-bagger but in his en-
deavOr TO stretch it into home run was put
out at the plate.
After Hassamer went out in the fifth Cart
wright singled and was advanced to third by
Maguires single, coming home on passed
ball.
Wards base on balls. a single by Hassamer.
and double 10y Cartwright scored two runs
in the eighth
Nash took liner off MaSuire's bat in the
same inning which nearly carried him off his
feet.
How THE BosToNs SCORED.
The visitors had no trouble with Esper.
Te5eau dropped Longs ny in the first after
Lowe had been retired. and then Duffy and
Mccarthy maddxriples and three runs scored,
Mccarthy coming home on put out.
They repeated 1t i'll the third on Duffy's |
single, base on balls and singles by Bannon |
and Nash.
Mercer took Esper's place in the fourth. |
but the change made no difference. 1t was |
Boston's day and Bos;on's luck. Long. Duffy, !
Mccarthy. aud Tucker singled, and only |
quick double play prevented more than two !
runs.
Again the visitors repeated in the fifth. En-
rors by Radiord and Tebeau. base on balls. /
and Dunys single netted two runs
One more was made in the seventh on sin
giles by Stivetts, Lowe, and Mccarthy and an
error by Ward.
In the ninth they scored another on an
error by Ward and singles by Tucker and
