SPECIAL 10 The Times. }

Baltimore, june ES.-10e senators lost
their first game with the Orioles because
of the champions superior work at the
bat and in the field.
Jake Boyd did not measure up to league
requirements, his delivery being quickly
gauged by the locals, who pounded the
ball hard and often.
At the start be had lots of speed. but
was wild, giving two bases on balls in
the first inning He got off easy now
ever, thanks TO pretty double play in
which Crooks was the factor, and which
retired the side while the bases were fall.
In the second he succeeded in retiring
the batsmen in order, but after this he was
always in trouble.
The way the Orioles hammered the ball
in the third inning would have demoral-
lied an ordinary team, but the field stuck
pluCkily by their pitcher and worked just
as hard as if he was pitching winning ball.
WENT INTO THE AIR.
Crooks misplay. a tumble. netted moth
ing, but those OF Joyce yielded two runs.
Still these cut no figure in the result,
as the champions earned more than enough
to win by clear, hard hitting
Meanwhile the Senators could do very
little with Hoffer, at least not enough to
make the score any way close. They hit
the ball hard enough, but as a rule it
went into the air
Fourteen of the twenty seven being
retired on flies to in and outfields Sell
bach did the best stick work for th eyisitors
Twice he landed on the ball for three bases
each one of which was timely, sending in
once two and then again one run.
Hassamer also got in a three-bagger,
which developed into a run. The game
throughout wascharacterizedb by long drives
all Of which would have been good forhome
runs on deeper grounds. AS it was there
were seven triples made, Baltimore getting
four and Washington three.
In the field the Baltimores did mag
nlllcent work, not an error marring their
score. Jennings made some great stops.
Crooks and Glasscock easily carried off
the honors for the visitors. The great
shortstop made one pick up of nasty
bounding bah and quickly threw TO first,
that earned big applause.
McGuire's catching and throwing was
another feature. Twice he caught runners
at third and once al second, who Were
trying to steal bases.
QUESTIONED THE DECISIONS.
Emslie umpired fair game, though
some of his decisions We're questioned by
both teams. On balls and strikes he was
par excellence, but it was base decisions
to which objection was made.
Once he called Selbach safe at the plate,
when from the stand it looked as if he
was out, and Immediately after declared
Hoffer safe at first when the crowd thought
he was out
In the seventh inning McGTaw was de-
clared out at first on a close play, where
upon the obstreperous third baseman kicked
so vigorously that he was put out of the
game, Gleason taking his place.
The run getting came about in this way:
Hoffer started in the third with an easy
one to joyce, which the latter fumbled.
McGraw went out to right field.
Then Keeler hit to center for one base and
both he and Hoffer scored on Jennings
triple. Kelleys single over third brought
in Jennings, and Brodie's triple scored
Kelley.
Reitz's hit sent Brodie across the plate.
Five runs had then been scored. The next
two We're easy outs.
IT WAS TOO LATE.
The Senators began business in the
fourth when, alter Joyce had been retired,
Eassamer sent a Beauty along the first base
line for three bases ard scoring on Glass
cocks out to left field.
IN the fifth they made two more OF
Cartwright's single, Crooks pretty bunt
intended as sacrifice, but which developed
into hit, ard Seitach's great drive to the
fence for three bases.
Baltimore scored in tteir half on Reitz S
triple and Carey's sacrifice. They made
another in tie sixth on two singles, steal,
and q hit TWO more in tie seventh on
Brodie's single, tare on balls, batter
hit and loTg single.
The last two were rnade on Joyce's error,
Kelley's triple, aud an out. The Senators
made the last run OF the game in The ninth
