New York, June 19.-One of the prettiest
exhibitions of ball playing seen in this
vicinity this season was that given by
the Senators in the game With the Giants
at the polo grounds this afternoon
This is saying a great deal, as the New
York team played fast and lively game,
but the pace set by the visitors was just
little too fast for them.
Judging from the appearances of the
Wash ingtons one would imagine that
they We're in their own way, but in this
case appearances We're deceiving and,
instead, they Were in everybody else's way.
GlasscOck and Crooks scooped up many
a pretty hit that looked TO be stealing
away from them, and the trio in the
outfield Were johnny on the spot" when
hits came their way
1t is true that a triple, home run. and
a pair of doubles We're noted by the Giants
but the hits We're so clean that there was
not the least possible chance for an error
of any kind being made.
SMILING ALBERT's GOOD WORK.
The pitching of Maui was simply superb.
He had lots of speed, and he kept mixing
up his curves on the New York batters so
much that they were kept constantly guess
ing.
Only five hits Were scored off his delivery,
although most of them were long drives,
and he allo wed but five men to 90 to first
on balls. Mcguire caught him in excellent
style.
In fact, the all-around work of the team
was beautiful, and if the boys can keep it
up they viii make any team hustle TO
beat them.
Shorty Fuller's playing has been so weak
of late that the management has been scour-
ing the country for a man to take his place,
but have as yet been unsuccessful. Shorty
has been getting in his little error every
day just at the wrong time ami in most in
stances the home team has suffered greatly.
To-day Shorty played pretty well until
the seventh inning, then the tide of i'll luck
turned toward him. With two men out he
made most inglorious tumble of a hit
which went straight at him, and as is
generally the case in an instance of this
kind two hits followed and the Capital CITY
boys pulled a victory then and there.
German. though he was only touched up
for six safe hits, was a bit wild His sup
port IN the field was none too good
JACK AND BILL WERE STARS.
Glasscock led in the fielding, accepting
eight chances in clever style, and HassameI
led his team at the bat.
The Giants were the first to the bat, but
up 10 the fourth inning not a run was scored.
Then the home team opened up on Maui and
secured Iun
After Schriyer had been retired at first
Davis slammed the sphere into left terri
tory for two bags, Van Haltren followed
with another hit in the same territory for
two bases and Davis scored. But Van, il
trying to stretch his hit into three bagger,
was nailed at third by Selbach, who made
beautiful throw to Joyce from deep left
Stafford was retired at first
In the fifth Farrell reached third but was
left.
tors secured the lead by scoring two runs
Abbey was given his base on balls, Maui
struck out and SchriveT took care of Sci
bach's high foul fly.
Joyce raped out pretty hit to left, scor-
ing Abbey and reached second
HasSamer placed one just far enough
out OF Fuller's reach to enable him to
reach first and to allow Joyce to get
home but Bill was left there as Burke nailed
Glasscock's long fly.
In the sixth inning after Mcguire had been
retired on a hit to Burke, Cartwright
trotted 10 first on balls, but he was caught
mapping and was ruE down between first
and second and put out.
Crooks hit to Fuller but Shorty made a
mess OF the play and Jack reached first
Abbey hit for a base, and when Maui pasted
the leather to center for two bags, Crooks
and Abbey crossed the plate. Tiernan
captured selbach's fly and retired the
side.
In the seventh inning Jim Stafford made
