NiuClnhati at st. LOUIS.
New York, June 2l.-Capt, Jack Doyle
was in a quandary before to-day's game
He had served German up toIthe Senators
in Thursdays game, and his curves were
greatly relished by Scbmelz's aggrega-
tien.
Yesterday Dad Clarke took his regu-
lar turn in the box, and was fortunate in
barring another win Tailed to his credit.
To-day Doyle thought seriously OF Civ
ing Boswell, the exp ennsylvanian, a
chance, and when Mr.. Bill Joyce heard
OF this he communicated the good news
TO his fellow players, and the boys began
to chuckle, and visions of home runs
flashed in quick succession before them.
Manager Schmelz's ''Svengali'' whiskers
began TO curl up at the ends and be
beamed a smile that was beautiful to
behold
BUT GERMAN NCONFRONTED THEM.
When time for play was called the Sen
atOrs were dumfounded in seeing Lester
German begin preparations for going in
the box. Capt. Doyle had changed his
mind, and at the last moment lie decided to
substitute Germanfur Boswell.
The Washiugtons were satisfied, as they
fully believed that they could repeat their
performance Of Thursday. They reckoned
without their host, however, aud when, at
the end of the ninth inning, the Senators
left for their dressing room, with another
defeat tied around their necks, Bill Has
Samer remarked:
You can't always tell how things are
going To turn up. We thought we had that
| fellow"
This swasthelastgamea attheP fairgrounds
for a week, and though the heavy clouds
threatened rain, over 5000 people were
present. The home team put up a good
game all around aud though the Senators
ereunable to hit Germa n 'stwists effective
ly, they put up much better fielding game
than they did yesterday.
MERCER HIT FREELY.
Abbey made the only two errors for his
side Mercer was put in to pitch for the
Washingtonians and he was touched up
rather freely.
Schriver was the only man on the New
York team who failed to get hit. Clark,
the Giants new first baseman, again played
brilliantly at first. The general all around
work OF the New Yorks was excellent.
The Giants left for Boston tonight,

enabled Shorty TO reach second, and Burke S

runs to their score. After Clark and Stafford
had been retired Schriver went TO first on

scored. Fuller went to first on balls and
attempted 10 steal second. He was caught
