lSneciaI TO The Times

Baltimore Nd, July 2-To-day's game
! with the champions was a fearful aud
wonderful exhibition. The Orioles won
in a canter but beyond that the least said
! the better. Accidents will happen in the
! best regulated families, and the finest ball
4 team in the world will have an off day, and
I that is what happened TO the Orioles yes
| terday.
The game was one OF those many long
drawn-out affairs which disgust evey-
/ body. 1t lasted for two hours and forty
minutes aud its dulIness was relieved only
by the peculiarly lurid exhibition of field
ing TO which the Orioles at Intervals dur
ing the game treated the spectators.
CHANGED THE MAKEUP.
A certain languid interest was also
aroused by the frequency with which Man
| ager SchmelZ changed the makeup of
the team.
He exhausted the whole repertoire of
his pitching department, and, with the
other changes in the team, kept the scorers
in hot sweat OF anxiety.
Baltimore took such a decided lead in
the early part of the game that there
was never any question about the result,
even when, owing TO a series of comicaI
blunders on the part OF the Orioles, the
Senators scored six runs in the sixth in
ming.
Clarkson was in the box for Baltimore
and pitched q remarkably good game un-
der the circumstances. 1t must be remem-
bered that he was kept pitching about
twice as long as usual and under very dis
cOuTaging circumstances.
Not a run was made off him up to the
sixth. In that inning, the Orioles forgot
that they Were playing baseball and al
vfan hos
off two hits. The Baltimore twirIer how
ever, was somewhat wild, giving seven
bases on balls
MADE ANGELS WEEP.
The fielding behind Clarkson would
have made the angels weep. 1t came in
streaks; first play of the mos brilliant
description and next one that would have
disgraced a schooIboy
Gleason had a bad day at second
and seemed all tangled up. He made three
errors. Jennings played a wonderful fast
game and managed to sandwich in a
couple of rotten errors.
Clarke and Clarkson also made Slips.
Seven errors in one game is a record fo-
the Orioles. II the Orioles We're q trifle
off in the field they were all there with
the stick.
They made life burden to the Senators.
Anderson started in to pitch, but was
inning after nine runs bad been made off his
delivery.
Marlarky was then put in, but he lasted
only g single inning. In that time he was
pou' for a triple, double, and two
SHE 2ud five runs were scored. That
was enough for Malarky, and Ibis
whlskers" put in stocksdale at the be-
ginning of the next inning.
Stocksdale finished the game out very
a
cradle degree the onward progress of the
oriole sluggers.
LED THE FUSILADE.
10 all nineteen hits were made off the
Washington pitchers. Willie Keeler led
the fusilade with five hits, of which two
were triples aud one double
McGraw and Gleason were second with
three each. A remarkable feature Of the
batting was the great number of long hits
Five triples aud five doubles were
made by the Baltimore batSmen.
Thefielding ofthe Senators wassomewhat
OF an improvement over that of the Orioles.
The team was playing under great disad-
vantages-Mahoney was on first in place
OF Cartwright, Crooks was out of the game,
Mercer taking his place for three innings,
when he was released by Boyd.
Notwithstanding this crippled condition,
the Senators played very creditable field
ing game; positively brilliant at times.
Abbey made the star catch of the game
in the third inning, when, after long,
hard run back, he captured Joe Kelley's
fly right off the centerfield fence.
This play took nightly with the crowd,
and Abbey received quite an ovation when
he came in from the field. AT the bat,
too, Abbey was very much in it, making
four pretty singles.
Scrappy Joyce, however, made the hit
Of the day when he knocked the ball over
the right field fence in the ninth inning
for home run.
The game was marked by much kick
ing against the umpire's decisions Capt
