The Washington times., 1895-06-11

The Senators simply covered themselves
with glory IN the second game with Won Der
Abe's pets.
1t was a game for a mans life, crammed
fun of critical situations, sharp infield
plays, good catches out in the pasture,
and pitching that made your najr curl TO
look at.
There wasn't an inning when the thrills
didn't play up and down the back, and the
last one made the teeth chatter worse than
an Indiana chill.
1t took ten innings to decide it, and is
the first extra-inning game TO be won by
the Senators this year.
The victory deserves more credit than
two or three ordinary contests. for there
was no time when the least slip was not
likely to prove disastrous and the men
were keyed up 70 the utmost tension from
start to finish.
EACH SLIPPED UP.
Not an error was made by either team
until the tenth inning and then each slipped
up, but that of the visitors was the most
disastrous and turned the scale in favor of
the locals.
If any Of the old habitues of National
Park who have not seen the present team
had dropped in yesterday he would have
rubbed hiseyes hard and acknowledgement
to convince him thatthe men playing in such
form, were not among the league leaders
Washington has never seen such displays
of baseball from a local team before.
Both pitchers were in magnificent fettle,
but Maui had the best control and the
better head work.
He struck out PETIT and Cooley, and Tom
Brown famed the air twice, the last
time with two men on bases and after
three balls had been called.
There were eleven innings when nobody
reached second base, and three in which
two clean hits were made, and yet no runs
scored.
it goes without saying that everybody
PLAYED ball, but the highest need of
praise is due Glasscock for his marvellous
work at short and McGuire for his mastery
work ia handling fouls, two Of which came
at most critical points.
Joyce and GlaSscock played the left side
OF the diamond like a piece of weIl-oiled
machinery and the most Of the work on the
other flank went TO Cartwright. who not
only took in everything thrown to him, but
made three fine stops on his own account.
SELBACH A HERO.
Al Selbach and his trusty bat were, how
ever, the heroes par excellence of the game,
for not only did he lead the batting, but
he sent in all the runs with clean drives
pver second base and killed off four am
bitious Brown batters 10y good catches in
his garden.
Glasscock hit hard every time he came
20 the bat and secured two safe ones but
the Others Went straight To a fielder.
The visiting team was Not whit behind
the Washingt0ns, and their infield work
was treat, while Tommy Dowd made
three excellent catches in right. Tommy
also made one clean hit and beat out a
buut in his old familiar style which always
called forth applause when he wore the
Senatorial uniform
Hassamer and GlasscOck got in two
nice chasers over second. after two were
ont ia the first inning, but Mcclure Sent
up a foul which PeitZ captured.
St Louis filled second aud third with
only one out, but could not score. Brown
was thrown out by Glasscock after a
sensational stop, and then Cooley end
Miller puked hits into left. Conner
flied 10 Hassamer aud Cooley reached
third.
HOARY OLD BLUFF.
Miller started for second and McGuirt
apparently threw his arm out TO get th'
bail down, but after Cooley had raced nearly
in to the plate he discovered that it wal
only an unusually good specimen of TN
