Baltimore, Aug 23.-YIth the Two games
played AT Union Park this afternoon the Sen
ators and the orioles bid one another
adieu for the >cason Of 1855 The honors
OF war remain with the Orioles, they having
won nine of the twelve games played This,
however, is better showing for the sena-
tors than the preceding season, when one
game out of u dozen was the best hey
could do
It's well known also to all who keep
tab on baseball events that Washington
should have had more even break with
the Oriole., which would have given them
tive games won and seven lost One OF
these two games which should in al fair
hess belong TO Washington was given to
Baltimore 10y Umpire Em>lie at National
Park "a the memorable to Z contest,
and The other was handed to the champions
this afternoon at Union Park by Umpire
watch" Burnham.
The caagrin of defeat does not influence
the charge Of robbery made against Umpire
Burnham, but The plain facts warrant the
assertion. Apparently, with malice afore-
thought, he SO rendered his decisions as
TO make il impossible for the Senators TO
got the game, in which they outpIayed their
opponents at every point.
HOOTED AND JEERED.
SO rank was he that The spectators. a
partisan Baltimore crowd. at that, hooted
and jcered MIN. As anxious as the peo-
pie We're TO see their club win, such out
rageous decisions were Hauscating to their
sense Of fair play, and opinion was freely
expressed that Of the staff of incompetent
umpires at present drawing salaries from
the League, Buruham is the worst
He has been hooted out OF every city in
whtch he has essayed TO hold an Indicator,
ana no longer than last Wednesday Capt.
Anson refused TO play his club in a game
over which Burnham had charge This
reputation made him good and ripe for
The Senators, and he was given his chance
at them IN Baltimore this Afternoon The
report here is that he Will be sent TO Wash
lngton tomorrow to umpire the Chicago
series. II is doubtful if Anson will con-
sent TO his services.
Burnham started his burglary with the
first inning. After McGraw had been given
his base on balls he was caught off first
five feet by Malarkey to Cartwright, but
Watch standing away back in the
shade of the grand stand, said safe" and
then looked up 10 the crowd for his ap.
plause. He got hiss for his pains
In the sixth Crooks hit beauty bright
over second for a base.
A little later Garrison threw to Carey
to keep Crooks from getting too much
lead aud TO the astonishment of everyone
Burnham said out" Crooks was stand
ing on the bag when Carey caught the ball.
NOT THE ONLY ONES
These two cases We're cited to show
Burnhams unfairnesS, but let it not be
understood that they were the only ones.
An along through the two games he blocked
every chance the Senators had to add
TO their score A nd was stopping over
in favoring the orioles.
Going out 10 the park Crooks saw boy
with big stra wberry mark on his face
aud the king picked him up for mas,
cot. But he proved no good against Burn,
ham and besides rooted for Baltimore as
soonas he was safe inside the gates
Hank O'Day called balls and strikes in
| lne TWO gaines ana ulQ very well. HIS
disgust ofhis associate Burnham wa evident
at several stages of the game. BY the way,
Hank admitted to The Times representative
that he was wrong incalling the Washington
| Cleveland game last Thursday inthe seventh
| inning.
Capt. Patsey Tebeau and Cupid Childs,
OF the Cleveland club, witnessed the game
from the grandStand. The Cleveland clul
played an exhibition game at Wilhamsport
this afternoon and they took advantage OF
the opportunity TO run over and get a line
on their rivals for the pennant. 1t is need
less 10 say that they rooted hard for the
Senators.
The first game was called at O'Clock
The Senators showed up very snappy il
practice, which was in decided contrast tC
the Orioles. The Senators looked like
winners. Joyce, Crooks and Scheibec
snapped the bah around from base to bast
in the style that is pleasing 10 a fan.
TROUBLE BEGAN AT ONCE.
The Senators commenced the trouble al
the start. Selbach's rap TO McGraw wa.
poorly handled and he was safe on first
