The morning times., 1895-08-28

TyFoganles were plaay yed at 1ationalPark
yesterday afternoon between the Colts and
Senators The White Stockings'' took
the first one after eleven well-contested
innings Toy a score OF TO /, and tied
the second game after Schmelz's men had
taken commanding lead, ana seemingly
had the game well in hand.
Anderson was Pitted against Hutchi-
son in the first contest ana pitched a
mastery game, keeping the hits of the
visitors wen scattered. The Senators
gave him royal support aud showed
great reversal of form, playing the game
in championship style.
1t was not until the eleventh inning that
the Colts We're able TO force the winning
ruuover theplate, when wilmothtalongfly
into Mercer territory, who got under it, but
unfortunately the bah struck his hands and
bounded into the bleachers, enabling the
runnerto make the circuit ofthe bases
Adrian Constantine Arson had up to this
time a vague suspicion that his Colts were
doomed to defeat, as Anderson was steadily
improving as each inning progressed, and
his delivery, and it was a matter OF con-
lecture aud serious doubt how long the game
would be prolonged.
ANSON HEAVED a SIGH.
When the old man saw the ball bound
into the bleachers, however, he heaved
sigh OF relief, for he knew the battle had
been won ana his proteGes would have one
more game to their credit
Hutchison and Kittridge were in the
points for the visitors, and "Old Hutch"
never pitched better ban since he has been
under Adrian's watchful eye, and grand
papa has held guardianship papers over
the young man forsome years. The Senators
! found his curves with great difficulty, and
| generally succeeded in knocking the ban
direct into some fielders hands.
The game, however, was most interesting
/ from start TO finish and the spectators
were kept in a state Of nervous excitement
/ until the last man was out.
There was only an intermission OF n few
! minutes between the first and second games,
! and when Umpire Keefe called play at
4:30 p. NJ, crowd numbering over two
! thousand people was on the grounds. a
| great many ladies were in the grand stand
and their bright costumes lent color and
interest to the scene.
Joe Corbett, who resembles in no slight
/ degree his brother, made his first appear
| ance in the box for the Senators on the home
! grounds. II the work he did yesterday
is any criterion OF what may be expected
OF him in the future, Gus Schmelz, has made
no mistake in getting his name attached
TO a Washington contract.
CORBETT'S FINE WORK.
Several times during the game he showed
remarkable head work, striking out sew
eral Of the Colts best hitters. He also
fieIded his position wen, and in every way
deserved the plaudits which were showereC
upon him.
Dolan, one of Anson's this seasons finds
did the twirling for the Colts, and the
Senators took kindly to his curves, batting
out five runs in the second inning by
opportune hitting.
The game, very much like the one o.
yesterday, was a see-saw affair, and like
it, resulted in a tie at the end of the sew
enth inning Umpire Keefe again called
the contest on account of darkness, although
the White Stockings had scored two rum
in their half of the eighth inning, and il
all probability would have finished win
ners. Keefe, however, is not friendly
to dark places, and, very much agains
the protests of Anson and his Colts, called
the game.
Your Uncle" viii not have q chance t
try conclusions with the Washington
again this season, SO had to charge tn
game up on the profit and loss sidt
of the ledger. He was much disap
pointed that lis Colts did not take fou
games at the Capital, and left sadder an,
wiser man, vowing vengeance the mex
time the two clubs meet.
WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
Had the Senators made fourteen hit
off "oId HUTCH" of Chicago, they Nigh
: have won the game; or had they mad
twelve safe passes at the spheroid thi
story would probably be different. Bu
the Senators are unlucky, are in thu
tolls, "as il WERE" or $50 TO speak,"
Chicago also smashed the pigskin on
dozen and one times, but the Colts hay
