CINCINNATI AGAIN DEFEATED.

Senators Bunched Their Hits and Took
the Second Game from the Reds.
Besides winning yesterdays game Wash
ington passed Chicago and Louisville in the
race for the league pennant. and Cincinnati is
not far away.
Ladies' day had tendency to swell the
throng, and at least thirty-six hundred people
were present 1t was great hitting match,
and both sides did well with the stick, the
than their opponents in placing their hits sue
cessively. The Reds excelled in fielding.
Latham was at his best yesterday. and his
tongue was as glib and his sayings as witty as
his all-round play WAS good, but the little
fellow was caught very nicely of OF first base
by Esper. He made n feeble protest TO Um-
pire Hurst, but the latter was firm. He also
tried to steal second while Parrot, who
played center in Hoy absence, was on third,
but Mcguire threw accurately to Ward, and
Arie was out by short length.
Vaughn was also in the game, but he went
out of it III the sixth because he kicked at Mr..
Hurst's decisions on balls and strikes. ''Ill
put you on the bench. said Hurst, ''if you do
not keep quiet" but Vaughn kept up his in
solent talk and the umpire not wishing to
and Vaughn went on the bench.
Comisky and Latham also did some kick
ing, and Pitcher Dwyer had every propensity
of mule in his respect. He wanted every
thing which was near the plate. He got
nearly all he desired, but Mr.. Hurst grew
tired OF his chatter. and very emphaticaily
admonished the young man. The umpire will
win much respect in Washington if he will
continue to show his authority on the bail
field.
Roaring Bill'' had an experience that was
rather unusual for the big right fielder. He
made a desperate attempt to capture PARROTS
fly in the second. He made horrible failure,
however. His actions were something like
horse tha- swerves coming down the stretch.
The result was two runs, as Parrot would
have been the third man out.
The home team went first to the bat, but
failed to score until the third inning, when
Radford's single, Espers base on balls,
force out at third. and Abbeys long drive to
right center which Holiday failed to reach
after desperate run and Parrot coming
along at lively gait struck the ball and it
rolled away, three runs being scored. Abbey
reached home il a gallop.
Three runs were made in the fourth. all be-
ing earned. Hassamaer made a single. stole
second and came home on Cartwright's sim
gle The latter also stole second scoring on
Radrord's safe hit. the latter going to second
angry about the play. and boy-like he threw
the ball on the ground. Dwyer said some
thing anu laid down. 1t was very amusing,
and the crowd kept on yelling. Ward walked
up leisurely, as he always does, much to the
disgust of nearly every one who wants to get
down town early. He cracked out a single,
and Radford came home at lively sprint.
Then Ward tried to steal second, but he was
caught. He got up on his knees and asked
Mr.. Hurst for his decision, and then waved
his arms as though he wanted to swim.
In the sixth two more runs were earned on
doubles by Cartwright and Esper and single
by Radford. In the seventh and eighth they
went out in one, two. three order.
In the ninth. after Radford went out on
close decision at first. Esper caught one Of
Dryers drops and raised it over the right
field fence. and trotted around the bases with
the seventh earned run of the game After
Esper had scored some generous individual,
who evidently was a rooter for the home |
team. handed the ball to Holiday. and the
latter threw the ball to the plate in an in
different manner.
An error by Ward put Parrot on first in the |
first inning and McCarthy's double senr him |
home. The latter reached second on Rad
ford's failure to touch him after he had slid |
over the bag. He came home on Latham's |
single.
In the second Comisky sent one to short |
left field and was advanced to second by a |
base on balls TO Dwyer. Both men scored on |
PARROTS bit for three bases which Roaring |
Bil'' failed to capture. He was left. as Cart |
wright smothered McCarthy's sharp grounder. |
Successive singles in the eighth by Dwyer, |
Parrott and Mccarthy after two men were |
out resulted in an earned run.
Holiday got himself in his ridiculous posi- |
ton in the ninth and landed u three bagger |
over Abbey's head. Mcguire came up after |
llcPhee had two strikes. The batter hit high |
foul, which Mac" caught without moving
put OF his position. He then played back.
and Holiday came home with a sort OF string |
haISer step. Murphy went out by Esper to |
and after Canavan went to first |
On balls Comisky flew out to Ward, and all |
was over. The score:
