The Washington times., 1895-06-19

crowd magnificent iu numbers, dis
tinguished in personnel, and radient with
beauty assembled yesterday To cheer the
Senators on to victory and wish them sue
Cess on their way TO meet the declining
Giants.
II was last ladies' day Of the week and
the grand stand was packed with the
fairest OF Washington's daughters, bloomed
with brilliant flowers and ribbons, and
looking over it one might well have i'm
agiued himself at festival of beauty or
az opera house rowded to do honor TO
some world-renowned singer
Nothing was lacking but success, but
that was not on the cards for the Washing
Ton team.
There is no kick coming to the umpire on
yesterdays game.
Nobody could ever ask for better work
than Murray did on this occasion and but for
pne mild grOwl from Capt Anson there was
not a Whimper Of discomfort from end to end.
SENATORS WERE oUTPLAYED.
The home team lost because il was fairly
sutplayed at every point exceptin the box.
The Senators could not bat a little bit
In hitting they were too weak TO lift beer
glasses fun OF foam and with lead OF our
runs in the first inning handed up to them on
silver plate by Adonis Terry, they could
only coax out three measly scattered hits in
the rest Of the aftemSyn
The visiting team played pennant ban
with vengeance after the first inning
and there were three features Of it's work
either one OF which was sufficient to make
the game a memorable one; the utter in
efficiency amounting almost to a break
down, OF Terry at the start; his sudden
recovery and marvellous pitching from
that time on which held the hard hitters
of the home team helpless as infants, and
the phenomenal fielding Of Dahlen and
Everett which headed off attempt to start
q batting rally.
SPELL ON THE BALL.
Terry seemed to have a spell on the ball,
and the best batters could not get force
enough into the leather to push it beyond
the diamond, or else a lightning stop
and throw would paralyze a promising
two or three-bagger, and the rising cheers
died out with a sickening thud.
il may be that The very wildness which
nearly wrecked Terry's game worked his
deliverance by getting the Senatorial eye
so-far off the ban that il never found its
way back.
The Senators played a good game bar
ring Selhachs fatal error, but for which
she result might have been different and
6lasScock and Crooks accepted all their
chances and strained every nerve to keep
ehe Colts from breaking out OF pasture.
MeTcer's pitching was a tie game with
Terry's. and only once was his delivery
pollared, a squirt which lasted for two
innings and tied the game. a tie which
was broken by no fault OF his.
Win never lost his nerve for a minute and
closed out the ralley against him 10y strik-
ing out the most dangerous men in the
opposing nine-the big fielder, Lange
Ryan, Dahlen. Stewart, and Terry also
went TO grass before his deceitful delivery.
Hndit was cruelf fate that snauched victory
from his grasp.
HEARTBREAKING PLAYS.
Dahlon made two plays that were
enough TO break a batter's beart-one
off grounder which Jim MCGUIRE had
tickoted through for two bases and which
Anson's young man scooped up in his left
glove while on the fun run, and another
ball which was galloping into left to
hospital jury at the fence, he pulled in
with bis finger tips and shot il over to
nrst
Everett also gave Ed Cartwright heart
lsilure by a stop OF a savage grounder
and a throw only less remarkable that
headed off the copulent captain by noses
Such playing was enough TO XIII the bat
ting OF even such game fighters as
schmelz's men have proved themselves
TO be.
20 the burden Of the loyal rooters by his
fine catches.
