description of the initial inning is all
that is necessary 10 tell the sad, sad story
of yesterdays contest between the Scna-
tors and Beaneaters, for after that all doubt
was removed as TO The final result of the
game, and ii only remained question as
to how many runs the visitors would pile
up.
There was every indication of close and
exciting game when the two teams lined
up traction, and the l ZOO spectators " ere
full OF Just that sort of anticipation, but
alas it only took few minutes 10 remove
any such thought from their minds.
The affair at this 1unctuTe took on the
characteristics of a farce and the home
team played as if they were under some
hypnotic trance and allowed the Bosions TO
roll up thirteen runs before the side could
be retired, and All this happened after an
ample opportunity had been offered to shut
the visitors oEt without run.
HOW 1T CAME ABOUT.
1t all happened in this way-Mr. Giiroy
who essayed to pitch ''God save the mark"
sent the first man to take his place at the
rubber to his base on balls that were so
wide at the plate that it would have taken
a search warrant To have brought them
within mailing distance.
Then Mr.. Herman Long hit Grounder to
Monster Demontreville which would have
been an easy out under ordinary circum-
stances but the Frenchman made a bad
tumble and the runner was safe on first.
Then Mr.. Hughey Duffy put up high
fly into Selbach's territory which the
Baron captured and Mr.. Bannon came
in with the first tally. Would there were
no more to follow but the tale has just COM
menced. Teuny hit one down the first base
line but Cartwright had caught the error
making fever and the runner was safe on
first.
Then il came Mr.. Jack Crooks time and
he duplicated his captains example, and
Long crossed the plate. Mr.. Gilroy- was
still in philanthropic mood and concluded
Nash was n fit subject for charity and ac-
cordingly made him a present of base.
Then Tommy Tucker" the man with the
large mouth and caliope voice, came up
and didn't do thing but hit for two bases.
or course, Tenney did not lose the oppor
tunty to score.
TOM WAS MAPPING.
Harrington next hit fly into deep
center, which Tom Brown could have
easily captured, but Tom was either
asleep, or suddenly lost the use of his
lamps. for he allowed the ball to go by
him without an apparent effort to stop
il, and two men trotted in to increase
the total.
Mr.. Ryan then thought it was his turn
to take whack at the ball and hit for
a single Nichols followed h is example.
Bannon came UP for his second time in the
inning and Gilroy duplicated his former
performance and presented him with a
base.
Long hit a fly between Setback and
Brown and both fielders Immediately
went into a trance allowing the ball to
fall safe and Long to take third. Two
runs was the result of the error. Duffy
then pushed out a safe one. scoring
Herman. Teuney took walk and Mr.
Gilroy presented Nash with another base
on balls. Tucker put up a high fly
back of second, which Crooks took care
of making the second out of the inning
but Duffy did not forget to score on the
play.
Tenney scored on a wild throw and Har
rington put an end TO the long dra wn-out
agony by flying out to Demontreville
Altogether sixteen men went To the bat
during the innings and five of these
were presented with bases on la Is.
nutshell.
MALARKEY TOO LATE.
Gilroy was replaced by Malarkey after
this fatal inning and the Beaneaters only
succeeded in scoring two runs during the
remainder of the game. They took a de-
cided brace, but too late, for all was over,
and the best they could do was to check
the visitors i'll their mad career. A young
man named Banks pitched for Boston and
kept the Senators down to seven hits.
He seemed to keep them. guessing. The
Bostons played great fielding game,
Tenney's catch of Demontrevillc's long fly
being one of the features. Few there were
of the spectators who were sorry when
the contest was over, for it was dull and
