Philadelphia 10; Pittsburg, 8.
The much-dcspised CoIonels, who have
never known any other place but the bot
tom round Of the ladder since the opening
Of The league championship race, landed
in Tie capital yesterday 10 begin series
OF six gaines with schmrlz's cripples.
The BourBonites have always been more
or less successful in downing the Senators
and yesterday proved no exception to the
rule. Tor they succeeded in-taking the first
game quite haudny, with runs 20 spare.
Things looked quite blue in the second
game Tor a time and il seemed more than
Likely that thee. .Louels would emulate the
I example set them by St Louis on Friday
and take TWO games in one afternoon.
Fortune. however for once smiled on
the Senators. and they were able TO capture
the second contest by "a score OF 9 TOT.
Colonel NcDermott pitched the first game
/ for NcCloskey's men, and was deceptive
/ enough Jofp0I tne heavy hItyers Of the wash
4 ingt0u team, although he has becna shining
/ mark" in almost every. other game in which
he has participated this season.
BILLS FIRST APPEARANCE.
Roaring Bill" Hassamer, who was once
she idol of the washington rooters, madehis
+ first appearance in this city in the garb
( OF Kentucky Colonel. His advent at the
rubber was the signal for prolonged cheers
! emauatng principally, however, frorn hedI-
rrcton of the bieachers. "Bill" doffed his
! hat and it was quite evident from lis
/ manner and 10y the vicious way he Int at
/ Mercar's curves that he had wrongs to
1 ayauge, ana he knew of no better time to
/ show EChmelz. Wagner and Company what
/ d good thing they had missed
BiI's aspirations, however, soon de-
I parted. fgT tie best he could do was 10 hit
20 Corictt. and was an easy out at first
1 Poor BIZ. sighed the bleachers But
1 BHrs revenge came later, when he had
the proud satisfaction Of seeing his old
I associates Icvelcd in the dust before the
meek and lowly Colonels.
Mercer pitched for Washington in the
first game anG il he Were alone responsible
the Kentuc a las would have one less
4 victory u TIER Credit' this morning, but
alas, ''thcre were Others for the support
he received was far from being gilt-edged
and the 5UU spectators We're forced to
witness another Senatorial downfall
This is nothing new for the Washington
baseball public, and they have long since
learned the maxim, blessed be they who
expect nothing for they shall not be dis
| appointed"
IN the second game Varney Anderson
pitched for the Senators, while Gus Weyhing
who was once a tower Of strength in
Quakerville, did like duty for the Colonels
Both pitched good ball, but Varney had a
little the best Of the argument and the
Senators won. SeIbach played short and
did well.
Big Bill Joyce also distinguished himself
and his work at third played no small par
in the final result. Roaring Bill" disap
pointed his many friends by failing to make
an appearance in the second contest owing
10 au injured finger, the result Of the first
game, hut Spies took his place and upheld
Bin's reputation.
-Four games yet remained to be played
between the Senators and Colonies
and il Schmelzs men succeed in taking the
remaining games OF the series, all viii
be forgiven, and they viii once more estab
Iish themselves in the hearts Of the rooters
