The morning times., 1895-09-19

| ne idst game OF tDe SEASON between
the Washingtons and Brooklyns wa played
| yesterday afternoon, and the Senators sig
nalized.the event by beating the boys from
the City of Churches To the tune of . to 8.
Schmelzs men have won seven of the
twelve games played between the two
| clubs, much TO the chagrin of Byrne
| Foutz, Griffin, and Company, who must
suffer the modification Of knowing that
| the Bridegrooms are the only team in
the League to be thus treated by the much
despised Senators.
Less than 500 people witnessed the con-
test, which was marked by sharp hitting
| and brilliant field playing. Eugene De
| Montreville, the latest acquisition to the
Senatorial ranks, was the bright particular
/ shining star OF the occasion, a nd his clever
work at short contributed no little toward
the victory. He figured in three sharp
double plays, and otherwise accounted him
self well on the field.
Judging from his work on the local dia-
mond the management has made no mis-
take in signing him, and his presence will
undoubtedly do much to strengthen the
been noticeably weak. Mercer pitched
most effectively, and as usual the Bride
grooms found great difficulty in solving
his inshoots.
RECOVERING HIS FORM
1t is most gratifying To notice the i'm
provement in this young mans work since
the beginning of the season, and he seems
to have entirely recovered his last years
form. Our old friend Ad Gumbert pitched
for the visitors, and while the Senators
did not hit him to any great extent their
hits were timely and counted in the run
column. Abbey, as usual, was much in
evidence with the stick, and Bill Joyce
reinstated himself in the hearts of the
rooters by putting the ball into the bleach
ers for home run.
"Scrappy" felt that he was about due to
make hit of this character, and in the
seventh inning caught one of Gumbert's
curves on the end of his wagon tongue with
the result above stated. The hit unfor- |
tunately came at a time when there was |
nobody on bases, but as the Senators Were |
only leading the Grooms by a margin of |
one runit was most opportune, notw ithstand- |
ing, and created feeling of confidence |
among the spectators.
The Senators really won the game in |
the third inning, when safe hits by joyce
Mcclure, and Selbach and a base on balls
netted them three runs After that the
visitors were really never in the hunt,
although they looked TO be dangerous fac
tors several times during the game.
kEEFE DID NOT PLEASE.
keefe's umpire work was far from salts
factory and as usual the Senators got the
worst end of the argument.
Tim seems to be decidedly off in his de-
cisions ON balls and strikes and his con-
clusions on the bases are many times far
from being correct He got quite q severe
roasting from the bleachers throughout the
game and had the Senators lost there
would have been SOME satisfaction in
kno wing that his work did much TO bring
about such a result
The Senators go to Philadelphia this
morning for series of three games with
the Quakers. All of the team with the
of Mercer will go over to tho
City of Brotherly Love, and it is to be
hoped that We will at least take one
fall out of Irwin's men. Boyd and Nc
iuire will probably constitute the bat
terry in to-day's game.
