their hits were of the scratchiest kind and
also helped out 10y slow handling
III STAFFORD plays ball as he did Yesterday
Ward Will never be missed He jumped in
the air after a thrown bali, caught it, and
tagged Bill HaSsamer before he came down
III Bill's thInk-engine worked faster than
| an Anacostia street car he would have
slid under and been safe, but Bill isn't
built that way.
But for this stupid piece OF work Wash
ington would have scored two more runs
III the first, for they touched up Rusie con-
secutively for the only time in the game
After two out Cartwright slammed the
ball against the fence for two bags, and
Mcclure gave Davis one too hot to hold
HaSSamer's long fly hit the top of the
fence, but, with the perverse luck that
dogs Washington, bounded back, and Bill
persisted miserably by Stafford's gymnas-
tie feat.
AN EASY GROUNDER.
New York did several better on two hits
ard errors Boyd pickedUp paneasy grounder
from Butter ard threw it wide Tiernan
sent up a fly that hung in the air and
begged HaSsamer not 10 let it fan, but
Bill was so weighted with woe that he
couldn't get there in time and the ball
tumb.ed about over by the score board till
Mike was resting on second.
Van scored both with a smash TO left
for two bags, and tailed himself when Cart
wright Went into trance at seeing Crooks
make brilliant stop OF Doyle's grouLder
and muffed the throw.
The Senators got only one hit from the
first to the eighth, and though Rusie
generously gave two bases each in the
fourth and sixth innings, nobody could
score them.
Abbey dropped a ball in the eighth Just
over the fence and after Mercer batting for
Malarkey IN the ninth. had beaten a bunt
and Selbach had singled, Joyce's homer

New York scored aud hit safely with
beastly monotony in every inning but the
sixth.
Farrell, Rusie and Butler singled in the
second; Tiernan forced Butler and was safe
at second on Vans hit TO Schebeck because
Crooks dropped the ball; the two worked a
double steal and TierDanscoredo on MCGUIRE s
wild throw TO third, and Van on Davis fine
two-hagger to the fence.
Stafford beat buut toward Joyce in the
third and Farrell hit safely TO short right.
Hunt allowed both TO advance on what he
called a trapped jufield fly to Schiebeck
from Fuller, although deciding Rusie out
and they tailed on Fuler's hit which
caromed off Joyce to the bleachers.
Poyd failed to cover the bag when
Cartwright stopped Eutlers drive aud
Fuller scored on TierDan's hit for which
Schiebcck tried well but vainly. Vans
grounder to center and put-out brought in
Butler and Tiernan.
ADDED TO THE AGONY
seIbach's muff of Stafford's fly, Far
rails fungo to left, a double steal and Full
lcr's out at first, cost a run in the fourth
Two were added TO the agony III the fifth
on singles by Van Haltren, Doyle and
Stafford and Davis dou BILE
Tlernan sneaked n slow infielder in the
seventh, and was sent around by two
put-outs, Crooks to Cartwright and wild
pitch
Rusie singled in the eighth, Fuller put a
double to right field, and Tiernan sent
Amos home with a grass-cutter to center
