The Championship Record.
SENATORS LOST THE THIRD.
They Couldn't Hit Chamberlain and They
Also Made Errors.


Chamberlain was superb.
The Senators fell before his delivery as a
nickel slides down slot machine and does not
win. Four measly singles was the sum total
OF what was fondly hoped would be slugging
contest. But the uncertainty of baseball is
singular. and the Cincinnatis won yesterdays
game with hands up.
There was large crowd present, probably
1000. They were consistent lot of rooters,
but there was suppressed feelings from start
to finish, which broke out here and there in
the game as one of the Senators made good
play, and grcans were heard when an error
enabled the visitors to score. 1t was one of
those tantalizing games when hit would
score several runs, and the hit would be- like
the proverbial letter.
As weak as they were In batting. SO were
they ragged in fielding. And provokingly,
too, every error resulted in run or more
ut was probably the weakest nine Cincinnati
has had in the field this season. Just think
OF 1t. Parrot covered first-base in a way that
made Cartwright wonder. And the angular
pitcher hit like the dickens, too. He demon
strated conclusivelv that ne was an all-around
balltosser.
Look at the score of the visitors outfeld.
Thirteen flies were captured. They were none
of the easiest kind either. Comskey put
Holiday in center, and 1t Is believed that he
was actuated in this by a premonition that
Cartwright was due for one OF those long
hits he has made frequently in the vicinity Of
left center Well he made one OF them yes

ran again, turned and backed and backed.
stretched his arms over his head. and just
when everyone thought it was safe he jumped
up in the air and caught the ball. 1t was

two men on bases.
1t was aggravating defeat. 1t was
almost the unanimous wish that the Washing
tons would make it three games, but as II was
roast beef day with the representatives from
the City of Pork. there is conclusive evidence
that it contained many strengthening proper
ties. "Get that roast beef aworking,"
shouted Latham to Parrot, when the young
man was at the bat in the eighth, and the
bird-named young man Just did as his captain
dictated, sending out corking single to right.
1t was his third safe hit.
The Washingtous played listless game.
Their inability to hit took all the ginger out
OF them, Ward and Tebeau being the only
ones who staid in the game. Joyce seemed
to be suffering with inanition. There
wasn't as much life in his playing as there
is lemcn in camp-meeting glass Of lemon
ade. Cartwright's two errors cost several
runs, so with Hassamaear, with Mcguire. and
to know that tine Senators won two out of the
three. President Wagner could not possibly
felt bad over the defeat. because a message to
Manager SchmeltZ contained the pleasing in
telligence that a boy was born to Mrs. Wag-
ner. This fact certainly kept the owner Of
the Senators in good spirits.
The Reds scored In the first inning on sin
giles by Latham, Holiday, and McPhee. Hol-
Gday went out by being hit with batted ball.
An error by Cartwright. on which Parrot
made second, and Chamberlain's single
scored one in the second.
In the fourth two hits and a combination
OF slownesS and rattle netted run. Parrot
and Canavan hit safely the Iatter's hit put
ting the former on third. Canavan stole
second. and as Smith was being thrown out
at first by Radford he made a rush for third.
Cartwright ran up with ball in hand, and
while Canavan was being run down Parrot
went home, crossing the plate one step before
Canavan went out at third.
Latham singled in the fifth, and on Nc
CURES low throw to Ward which passed
Hassamaear also, the chatterbox went home
Hassamaear let PARROTS single get away
from him In the sixth, on which the latter
reached third. He scored on Radiords error
of Canavan's ball.
Mercer was put in the box in the seventh,
but in the eighth hits by Vaughn, Parrot.
and Latham, and Cartwrights error scored
three runs.
The home team scored two runs in the
second on a base on balls and singles by
Radford and Petty.
In the fifth Chamberlain tried to take Wards
scalp, the ball grazing the top Of his head.
Ward took his base and stole second and
scored on Holidays failure to hold Abbey's
fly.
Hope was running high in the eighth. After
Abbey and Mcguire were retired Hasamaear
went to first on balls and third on Tebeau's
safe hit. Then came Cartwright. Holiday
and Mccarthy moved out, out, out 1t was
one of Elton's square and lifted 1t nearly out Of
sight 1t was going toward the sign board, on
which there is horseshoe painted. It didn't
reach there, as Holiday, after turning around
once or twice, going backward ten or fifteen
feet, stopped Its onward fight, and he had the
ball safely in his hands. 1t was dandy hit,
