noon. Some Of the bravest ones left the
grand stand early. when they saw that the
yellow-legged champions from the Patapsco
were beaten out of their boots. They were
greeted with cheering cries from the old
guard sitting back of the local players
bench, and SO warm was the reception
given them that lot Of the visitors re-
Trained from making an effort to catch
the train. They were utterly crestfallen.
The cheerful Maui had hypnotized the
sphere smashers from Orioleville. He had
kept up hot pace from the start, and in
only one inning did he permit his guests
to, connect more than once with the ball.
The local folks were no great shakes at
the bat either. Indeed, but for one inning
Arthur Clarkson was invincible. With good
support he would have held Washington
down to two runs. But the hits of Wash
irgton came in nice bunch, four at once,
Two neat singles, hard double and a
smashing triple, which gave five runs and
the game In conjunction with a disastrous
muH by Reitz. The game was begun in a
rain storm. but Umpire Emslie kept the
play going for an inning and a half. in
spite of the drizZle. Then he had to call
off the men. and for eighteen minutes there
was no base ball. Then the tickle skies
cleared and the game went on without in
terruption.
The ice was broken by Washington in
the third. when Abbey reached first on
balls, was forced at second by Maui, who
scored on being pushed around by a base
on balls to Setback and Jennings muff of
the pitchers throw of Joyce's little tap.
Setback was thrown out at the plate try
ing to work steal. In the fifth Selbach
opened with splendid hit to right center
right by Joyce, who went to second on
Hassamer's sacrifice to pitcher. After
Glasscock had flied to Brodie without ef-
feet Mcclure laced an irresistible one over
ir1 for frxyn hoco 10 ~ rtrhf don
on balls and Reitz muffed Crooks high fly
that should have been taken by Keller,
MCGUIRE scoring. Crooks and Cartwright
worked a double steal, the latter scoring
with ease, and Crooks crossed the rubber
on nice hit to right by Abbey. Then Carey
put Maui out unhelped, and ended the mis-
cry for Baltimore. Manager Hanlon held
a little conversation with his men on the
bench after the inning was over. In the
eighth Reitz played mumble-tee-peg with
Glasscock's easy grounder, Jack went to
third on a wild pitch, and scored on a
double play that retired Mcclure and Cart
wright.
Baltimore's only runs came in the eighth,
when Carey hit past Joyce for base, and
from Glasscock, being ranked as safe
hit. Carey scored on an out to Abbey.
Then McGraw made his third hit fly
that fell into one of Gentle Willie Hasa
mer's outstretched paddles, just on the fair
side of the foul line The hero Of How
ardtown barely missed making most phe-
nomenal catch. Robinson went to third
and scored on Keeier's fly to Selbach.
The game was marked by some Won
derful plays. In the fourth Joyce made
beautiful stop and throw of a bad bound
er from the bat of Hughey Jennings. In
the fifth Carey took liner from Maui that
was placarded for two bases and made
double play unassisted, as Abbey had
started for second base. In the third Has
samer earned at least eighty-Seven votes by
a sensational catch so near second base
that Crooks would have been justified in
suing for trespass. In the sixth Joyce took
a foul fly off the left field bleachers fence
from McGraw's trusty stick that paralyzed
the throng and a moment later Setback
robbed Keller of home run by taking
ball in deep left, while on the dead run.
These and other pleasant little incidents
kept up the interest even for the sad-eyed
fans from Oystertown. and the game was
really well worth seeing. The score fol-
lows.
