What Spectators Thought.
Capt. Joyce's only tumble was as good
play as Washington spectators care to
see He showed that he does not play for
record Had he waited for the ball to
bound he stood little show of getting the
runner at first. By running for it he took
the chance Of making a beautiful pickup
or being credited with an error That's
ball playing.
or course the ball cranks were delighted
but there would have been no COMPLAINT
mad the Philiies batted out a victory. What
washington people like to see is earnest
pail playing all the time. They have seen
100 many games lost before they were
well started.
II is iair to presume that the visitors
expected an easy victory One of the
fniliies said to Star reporter after the
same: You certainly have a great little
team here. They surprised us. hui. then
we'll attend to them later on
without intending to disparage the abfI-
ity OF Hasamaear to play shortstop, II NAV
De said that his height and wardness
much on the Sam Thompson order The
ioeal snort helder should be able to get
down like lightning and to turn in his
tracks without losing his balance.
w y. Is me nrst time in the history Of the
washington club that it has had a real
first baseman and a genuine third base
man. ''
The outfelders showed that they were in
the game by the quick return of the ball
as well as by taking care Of sky scraners
Two men were cut off at third base ana
there is no telling how many runs were
prevented. N
Inc senators showed that they know
now to make sacrifice hits,

ger Schmelz prior to the opening of the
game came from Mr.. and Mrs Tavlor
wade and for once such an Offering proved
a good omen.
Gus weighing pitched a good game under
ordinary circumstances and one that will
win three times out of four, but yesterday
was no ordinary occasion.
First Baseman Cartwright had been pick
ed by many followers OF the game as the
one weak spot in the Washington team.
His batting and fielding during the exhibit
ton games were very ordinary but his
playing yesterday marks him as one of the
best in the business. His fielding borierad
on the phenomenal and at the bat he
proved a treasure.
If the weather permits game this after
noon Manager Schmelz will again be the
recipient of a valuable token of esteem ard
appreciation in the shape of valuable
vase filled with cut flowers. The donor is

admirer OF Gus and a successful real
