ANsON HIT THE BALL.
The tenth opened with the quictuess thai
attends u Quaker meeting. After Everett
struck out, Dahlen went to first on balls,
| Lange flew out To Lush, aud the sigh that
| followed was as heavy as the biggest
| breaker that ever struck the Jersey shore
| Arson then singled. Ryan was the man Ia
begct victory, but it was not begot. He
| sent n high fly to the infield, and Cart
| wrights voice was loud and vigorous
I've got it, he yelled, and he held on to
IT.
The tenth was easy, as Wrigley. who
had taken O'Brien's place, easily assisted
| on Pfeffer's out at first. After Donahue
who batted in Decker's place, had struck
| out. and Mccormick also fell Il victim TO
| MERGERS curves.
! THEN CAME TILE SENATORS.
| Lush went To first on balls in the Scna
| tors half. He was out nj second on De-
| Montreville's hit to Friend. Then the ag-
| gressive Senatorial younSster stole second
| and third. being accompanied by Setback,
| who had won first on balls, on the latter
| steal. They both were left as Farrell went
| out, a fly to LaDge, and Smith died at
| first on Dahlens assist
O'Brien struck out iii the second, and
| after Brown arrived at first on Friend $
| assist, Cartwrights out WAS credited to
| Arson because OF Friends deceptive shoots
| The third was in one, two, three order
| Mercer struck out, and after Friend u;
| sisted at first IN Lusli's put-out, DeMontre-
| willie went out on Fly to Pfcffer.
In the fourth. after Sclbach reached first
| on Il yellow play of Mccormick, he was sac.
| rificed to second by Farrell But he triv-
| cled no farther, as Smith flied to Lanse
and Ryan captured O'Brien's pop up to
right.
Brown singled in the fifth hut in an
effort to steal second UEcle Arson got an
assist and Dahlen a put-out. Cartwright
again struck out 4 nd Mercer sent a weak
one to Dahlen. who easily threw the hand
some twirler out at first.
In the sixth Lush struck out. DeMontrr-
vile hit safely and stole second, but Sci
bach's fly TO Ryan, and Langes rema rka-
BILE catch OF Farrell's fly to left center
shut off all chances to score.
Heavy clouds prevented the sun from
shining on merry people in the seventh
Smith had gone out from Mccormick to
first; O'Bnen won first on balls and was
sent to third on Browns single. The
latter stole second. THE outlook for a
run was propi;ious, as every one reasoned
that Cartwright could land safely the
third time up. But lie disappointed all.
He gave Lange an easy fly. Win your
own game yelled a thousand people rs
Mercer stepped up into the batter's box.
Friend was pitching splendid ball at This

pool went out on strikes.
1t was one, wo three order in the eighth.
The ninth was rich with prospects OF
score, and only because OF Sclhach's
lack OF Judgment the Senators did not win
the game until the eleventh. Farrell faed
out to Lange. Smith singled, and Oh
Friends wild throw to catch him mapping
at first. he went to second with the speed
OF a runner at Iron Hill that had been
given the dope O'Brien was called way
from the plate and MCGUIRE substituted.
Mac cracked a single to right. Smith
started home with dash. Selbach held
him u second and then sent him toward
the plate. Ryan ran in and swiped Nc
Cures ball clean and sped 1t to Anson.
Man and bah were travelling fast. slide"
yelled Tom Brown. and the little thi ri base
man made Doyle drop. Arson had caught
the ball and Smith was out. Only Selbach's
stupidity prevented the score. McCiuirc
went to second on the play. but he got no
further as Brown flied to Mccormick.
TENTH WAS EvENTFA.
The tenth was an eyen,ful inning, and
it cost Arson the loss of his clever first
baseman and outficlder, Decker. That
PLAYER now carries his left arm III Sling,
suffering with Il broken wrist. Cart
wright had hit a slow one down toward
Mccormick. The little youngster threw
viciously to first. Decker made des-
perate attempt to stop the ball and fell OH
his left hand, breaking his wrist. Cart
wright went ON to second. Decker went
over toward Freedman's Hospital, &C
companied by Setback, aud the one sensible
thing that the German ambassador did
was to take a la der which had beenthrown
over from the o5IIer side for Decker to scale
the fence and batter down several boards
SO that the hurt player could reach aid
without eXertion.

nson going to first ami Donahue, with a
shingled finger on his right hand, went
behi nd the hat. Mercer's sacrifice
sent Cart wright to second. The latter
stole third. He. was run down on Lusli's
hit to Friend. Lush continued to sprint,
and when Dahlen touched the corpulent
gIardisman of the initial bag lie was Oh
third. DeMontreville had two strikes and
was as skittish as is risky colt before
a starter He got one to his liking and 1t
sailed away toward the center field; and
with it went LaDge. No fielder ever sprint
ed with greater speed. No fielder ever
used better Judgment. Only ONCE he looked
backwa and with the look he faced the
audience, reached his hands in air. pulled
down the ball and fell flat on his back
1t was the greatest catch Of the season at
National Park, and no visiting player
ever received more generous applause
1t was a marvellous catch and saved the
game for the tiIne.
Friend was wild when the tenth began
Setback drew base on balls. Now,
Charley, you know what to do" were his
parting words to Farrell as he went to
first, and Farrell made his second sacri-
flee. Selbach then stole third. Smith
n iso went to first on balls and stole second
The German Ambassador had plenty OF
time to score, but that judgment SO es-
sential in base running was not manifest,
and he hoped to delude the audience he
had hurt his ankle, because he limped
around. 1t was bad Judgment: nothing
else; because he showed wonderful re-
versal OF form when Wriglcy sent a slow
grounder to Pfeffer, on which he scored
by a burst OF speed and slide. 1t was
"a close decision, but Sheridan gave him
safe. Arson kicked and Donahue's tongue
waggled faster than Jim Corbett's. 1t
was all over and the Senators had won
the best record breaker OF the season.
