Chicago, Ill, July 2S.-Adrlan Canubri-
Gus Anson, an old man and good man
standing this afternoon like a modern
Colossus OF Rhodes with one foot on first
base and the other in right field saw a
vision of a second defeat from Washington
pass before his heated imagination.
In that one brief moment he grew so old
that three life insurance companies can
ceIled risks on his life on account of the
expiration of age limit They would take
no chance on centenarian.
THE game was so close that Griffith,
who went in il with the fierce moustache
OF Cuban insurgent, came out with as
clean face as though the barber shops
were kept open on Sunday.
With the score six to five against them,
the Senators filled the bases and but one
man was out The Colts were standing on
the brink of a terrible catastrophe. A safe
hit and another terrible crime would have
been charged up against H. II. Holmes.
AND CROOKS STRUCK OUT.
Crooks wanted to hit the ball so badly
that his ears bobbed up and down like a
Jack rabbit in mad flight. He swung at
it three times. and each time left such huge
cavities in the air that three spectators
falling through out of sight
Then scheibeck grasped the stick. He
went to the plate with an expression that
said Detroit papers please copy" on his
merry face. He leaned tar out across the
plate, and with a shrek that said "Curfew

lark and came down a crow into Dahlen' s
hands The Colts took a bag of peanuts
on themselves.
ContorUoDist Boyd pitched for the visitors.
He swashed his arm back until his elbow
scratched his shoulder blade. Then he let
loose an iD-shoot that the Chicago batters
rushed after with the despair of a short
armed man trying to get a second piece of
chicken at a boarding house.
But with their usual Senatorial courtesy
the WaShingtonian did for the Colts what
they could not do for themselves. With two
out in the first inning Lange whacked the
ball for three bases. AnsOD sent up a fly
TO Abbey and he let it roll over the ends OF
his fingers. DahleD made hit and Anson
scored.
HOW FOUR RUNS WERE SCORED.
The next inning was worse. Kittridge
was safe on Joyce's tumble. Griffith made
a lucky hit just over first. Everett, who
had beentrying to batright handed, welded
the stick in the way that was natural to him,
and beat out a bunt. wilmot whacked a
two-bagger in line with first, scoring two
runs and two more came in on long flies to
the outfield.
That ended Chicago's run getting. They
wanted TO make the game surer, and for
the next six innings tried harder to score
than small boy trying to get out of going
TO school.
But Boyd got his second wind, and base
hits got scarcer than friends to a man on
his uppers
In the fourth inning Joyce was the first
man up. Jevne was erratic, to put the
thing mildly, and called bah instead OF a
Strike
Griffith got excited. He thought it
was real mean. Jevne evened things by
calling joyce out on a ball that was
shaving the letters off his shirt, but
Griffith kept on sulking, and didn't get
good natured again until the game was
almost lost.
Cartwright hit safely and Everett tuggled
Abbey's grounder. Two hits and a sacri-
flee brought in three runs. With one out,
the visitors started in at Griffith with
great cheerfulness. Selbach, joyce Cart
wright, and Mcclure hit safely in.succes-
sion.
Then Abbey rolled grounder to Anson
The old man gathered it up in his lap and
slid feet-foremost into first He beat
Abbey by neck, but Jevne called him safe
II was not because of any ill-feeling toward
Anson. Jeyne was absolutely impartial
in his mistaken decisions.
TIE HIT THAT COULD HAVE WON.
The bases were full and five men had
tailed The clouds were lowering around
the Colts Crooks struck out and Scheibeck
could only send up an infield fly.
The result OF the game was settled at
