The morning times., 1895-08-27

The Senators and Colts struggled bard for
supremacy for eight long innings yester-
day, but failed TO reach a conclusion. The
visitors had scored one run in their firss
half of the ninth, which put them in the
lead, when Umpire Tim Kecfe, who fortu-
nately is not graduate of the same school
as Mr.. O'Day, unwisely called the game,
deciding it too dark for further play. This
cut off an hopes Of victory for either side
as the score stood nine to nine and Your
Uncle" Tad to be content.
1t is hard TO say which team would have
finally won out, as both were hitting the
bail The Washingtons on two different
occasions had the game well in hand, with
a good margin, but each time allowed
the Colts 10 catch them. Mercer and Grif-
fifth were the opposing pitchers, and both
were hit equally hard throughout the con
test In fact, the entire game was char
acterlzed by hard and opportune hitting
and home runs were the rule and not the
exception.
ANsON MUCH IN EVIDENCE.
Old man Arson occupied his accustomed
position and as usual played it fauluessly.
He was also very much in evidence at the
rubber an dhis timely work with the stick
contributed no little in saving his colts
from defeat.
The makeup OF the Senators was some
what changed, Boyd taking Crooks place
at second and Al Maulsupplanting Roaring
Bin in the right garden. Bill saw thegame,
however, from the bleacheTs. and was as
usual the idol OF the "rooters.'
The game was wen played. few mistakes
marring the work OF either team, and, alto
gethcr, was n most satisfactory contest; ex-
cepting, Of course, the fact that the home
team should have won. But u tie is far
better in all respects than defeat, and viii
add more interest to the concluding games
between these two Clubs when they meet
for the last time to-day.
The continued poor work OF the Senators
has had a noticeable effect upon the at
tendance, and not more than thousand
people witnessed the game
