Blue in the Morning.
FANS GUYED THE VANQUISHED
Hawley Went Into the Box as If Going
toa Cake Walk but Came Out Badly
Disfigured-COogan Gave Way to
Hassamer, Who Resigned for Boyd.
Our Boys Batted Nightly.

'The sins of the washington team, which
are many. are forgotten, and the iniquities
of Danny Coogan are forgiven. for it has
scattered the Philistines ard put TO flight
the armies Of the Aliens
Our Scripture may be little mixed, but
as We have no use this season for any Ian
guage but profane in speaking OF the club,
we may be excused for getting rusty.
To come down to the vernacular, the
Senators yesterday made monkeys of the
Pirates and holy show OF the League
leaders-and s, 900 people saw them do it.
Two games in one day with total OF
thirty-four runs, forty-two hits and sixty
one total bases, against thirteen runs,
twenty-five hits and twenty-four total
bases, and a team batting average of
449, isn't SO very much if you say it
quick but stin ii sounds pretty well.
The boys ought to be pardoned for feel
ing a little gay, for they have not had
such chance in a long time.
STIRRED THE HEART.
The games were the kind 10 stir the heart
Of an anchorite, and the crank who didn't
see them win feel like hiring an able
bodied mule to kick him.
The first was Of the sort that keeps a
heart doing a skirt dance.
The second was a walk-over, with the
shouting all on one side.
Young Mr. Emerson Pink Hawley may
not be so cOcky pitcher this morning as
he was two days ago, but he knows heap
more about what the Senators can do
with a thug twirler when they are in a
batting mood.
Things have been coming Mr.. Hawley's
way pretty much all season, and he went
into the box yesterday morning with a step
that would make the fortunes OF the lead
ing cake walkers OF Herring Hill.
Then. just to show how good he felt, he
proceeded to lay out a couple OF Senators
whom he suspected of carrying concealed
base hits.
About the middle OF the eighth inning he
was Hopping about on the grass after
every hall pitched, asking Becldley which
way the cyclone went, and trying TO get
breath before the next Senator faced him.
After il was all over and the pieces OF
him had been swept up, and the coroner
had reported, it was found that seven
safe pluDks and as many runs had been
entered up against Pink
Mr. Hawley has not received such rude
treatment in long time, and for a few
i
last years vintage VIII be able to contain
his massive intellect.
he WAS VERY WILD.
Volney Anderson went into the box in
the morning game for the first time in
this city He was very wild, and was
handicapped by Keefe's inability to see
when he worked the corner OF the plate,
but though hit in nearly every inning, he
had great luck in seeing only two of his
eight gifts blossom into runs, and with
perfect support only two scores would
have been made on him.
Hassamer at short was not much Of an
Improvement on Danny, and in the seventh
SchmelZ chased him back to right field,
where the denizens of Billsville received
him with open arms and so cheered him
up that he smashed out drive in the
next inning that brought in two runs.
Boyd then went To short and had m
chances during the rest Of the game. Joyce
was very much in evidence in the morning
He put the team in the lead for the first
time in the fourth by his home run IN
into the bleacbers. with two on bases and
two out, and again, in the sixth, he sent
in two runs that tied the score and cracked
out double in the famous eighth.
Selbach played a splendid game in the
field and tied Cartwright with two singles
and a double.
Crooks was, however, a crackerjack. ac-
cepting twelve chances out Of thiTteeI
in the morning game and seven more in the
evening.
In the fourth he cut short a batting rally
by making a phenomenal catch off Smith
that brought down the stands.
The visitors started with a commanding
lead. were twice collared by the home team,
but drew away in the fifth and looked like
winners But IN the eighth came the great
rally that broke Hawley all up and settled
the business. Mercer was tnen put in foI
the last two innings and did not allow a
