The morning times. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1895-1897, 1895-09-26

1t took ten innings to decide yesterdays
game between the Senators and Giants,
and it was not until the last inning that
the locals were able To bat out a vic
tory. The game was a see-saw affair
from beginning to end, and the spectators
were kept in constant state of excitement
until AndeTSon's hit brought Cartwright
across the rubber and won the game by
score of Z to 6.
Mercer pitched for the Senators and had
the Giants completely at his mercy. AT
one time many thought that Wins pitching
arm had deserted him, but Judging from
his mastery work of late, he has entirely
recovered his last years form and bids
fair TO prove tower OF strength TO the
Statesmen next season.
All of the Senators played with dash
that is most gratifying To observe. They
seemed to completely lose heart when the
but the opposite seems to be the case with
them Just now, and they rely 90 the
finish TO bring them in as winners.
This has certainly been demonstrated in
the last few games they have played and
particularly in yesterdays contest.
KEPT PEGGING AWAY.
At one time the score stood to i in
favor of the men from Gotham and even
the most ardent rooter had no idea that
they would get ON even terms with the
visitors. but they kept pegging away and
managed to tie the score In the sixth and
forged ahead in the concluding inning OF
runs in their half of the inning and all
chances for winning seemed gene, Nc
CURE opened up for the Senators by reach

to second aud scored a moment later when
Cartwright smashed out a twO-bagCer in

third on the play and everything hinged
on the next batter.
The shades OF night Were fast falling,
but Hurst had made up his mind that the
game should be played out and despite the
protests of both spectators and players who
wanted to zee the contest draw, the game
went merrily on. 1t was MERGERS turn at
the bat but Schmelz made up his mind to
give Anderson one more chance to redeem
himself. Farney. IL VIII be remembered,
had Just such a chance in Tuesdays game
and distinguished himself by cutting three
large holes in the air.
1t was evident when he took his position
at the bat yesterday that he meant bust
ness, although few there We're among the
rooters who hoped that he would put his
good resolutions into effect. But he did,
for the first ball Dohney pitched seemed just
to suit him and he pasted 1t past second
so fast that Davis could not get his lamps
on it and Cartwright crossed the plate with
the winning run.
SENT UP A SHOUT.
Inc ttulu W udl
had happened but when they did the shout
that went up could have been heard blocks
away. All of the team played fast bail
and little Abbey distinguished himself in
long flies which looked to De good for home
runs. Monsieur Demontreville was in the
push, as usual, and contributed no little
toward the victory.
A young man named Dohney pitched for
the GOthamites and put them over in a way
that had the Senators guessing. He has
speed TO burn and seems 10 have perfect
control over the bah. Besides pitching
great game he knocked out Il threc-base
hit at the most opportune time when three
men were on bases. H. Davis first base
play was also one of the distinguishing
features ofthegame. Jack Doyle must have
felt very sad and Weary Watkins very weary
when they realized last night that their
Joints" had dropped two games at the
Ca pital when they fully expected to
capture the entire series.
