TO retire him and substitute another.
The visitors took u hiking TO '-Silver's''
speedy ones right over the plate. They
slashed out seven hits and scored four runs

them.
NORTON BLOCKED THE PIRATES.
Norton, however, stopped short their
liberties with the ball, and for the re-
naming seven innings he kept them on
the verge OF loComotor ataxia.
The visitors managed to hit the sphere
occasionally, but wide apart were the
drives that only one run resulted and that
was due much 10 darkness as the effort
OF Comics men.
Norton pitched mastery game and fully
sustained the reputation that preceded
him from the Southern League, of which,
according to the best critics, he was the
premier box artist.

had broken the spell. With four runs the
advantage from the second to the fourth
inning he pitched an even, steady game
and was the mighty Hawley" that we OF
Washington had read about but had not
seen at National Park. II looked easy
for him. and no doubt as he stood in the
box he felicitated and jollicd himself over
the success attending the swings OF his
brawny arm.
1t was the April fool coin with a string
to it. Victory was danglcd in from. OF
Hawley's eager hands only to be batted
away by a fusilade from the Senators
sticks the echoes OF which probably linger
in the neighborhood OF Seventh and the
Boundary" even until this good hour.
II can beat all the clubs in the League
except those OF Ia ltmore and Washington"
said Hawley at the Riggs last night, land
between the two hoodoos I'll take 4 chance
at Baltimore every time. Ny luck is
something awful in that town, but in Wash
ington it is simply execrable and beyond
my Y rays. Iwould rather win here than
anywhere just to kill the Jonah, but 1
will have to wait until another season"
PIRATES FIRST AT BAT.
Ex-senator Patsy Donovan was the first
fellow OF the black ensign crowd to face
Silver. He went out on n line fly to Cart
wright. Ely had better luck and drove
the ball to left for two bases. Fred scored
on Sugden's drive to the same territory
for two sacks, and the tOw-headed catcher
tailed on Davis single past third. Lyons
foul flied to Mcclure and Wright was but
toned at first on O'Bren's throw.
1t was blank for the Senators. Lush's
line fly was caught by Ely and DeMont
flew out to center. Setback walked on
four balls, but was left on McGuire's
fungo, which Mack handled unassisted.
For the Pirates in the second Mack sim
gled to center and was pushed along by
Hawley's bingo to left. PaddeD hunted
safely, filling the bases. Donovan hit to
Cartwright, who threw to the plate, forcing
Mack Ely's foul fly was dropped by
''Smiddy." Hawley scored on Ely's fly
to Brown. Sugden hit toll left and Padden
registered. The side was retired on Davis
foul fly to Mcclure.
For Washington Smith singled to center,
but was caught mapping at first. 1t was a
close decision by Lally and the crowd dis
agreed with him. O'Brien went out, Ely
to Mack Brown was victim, from Patltleu
to Mack.
Norton replaced King i'll the box at the
beginning of the third. 'smiddy" squeezed
Lyons high fly. Wright was out, Norton
to Cartwright. Mack singled to right. but
was caught trying to stretch it into "a
double by u beautiful throw from Lush to
DeMont.
Cartwright opened the Senators end OF
the third by flying out to Donovan. Norton
was easy from Lyons to Mack. Lush's
batting eye was uuder blinkers again
and he made three fruitless efforts to
wat Mr.. Hawley's curves.
In the fourth IIawley was throw outf from
short to first, and Paddeu went out, o Brien
to Cartwright. Donovan reached second on
Norton's error, but Ely sent the Smoky
City boys to the field by striking out
IT WAS DARK AT THE END.
The game was long drawn out, and the
sun had abdicated in favor of the even
ing star, when 1t was brought to a close.
The fault was Mr.. Lall US, vi no should have
suspended the proceedings at the end OF
the eighth inning.
However, as such umpires as Hurst and
Emsle have In the past, dragged con-
tests into nightfail at National Park, it
would not be fair to say that Lally
stands alone in his indiscretion. If he
erred, it was in the effort to give both
clubs square, even deal, and that the
large crowd present had to ride home on
