Enough Rams In the Seventh to Win.
There was another close call for the
Washington base ball club yesterday after
noon at National Park. At the end of the
sixth inning it looked very much as though
the Pbillies would walk away with the
game, but such was not to be. The young
lady in the grand stand, who Is the par
ticular mascot of the home club. arose at
the opening Of the seventh inning and turn
ed three times to the left. not to the right.
as Is customary. Those who were not
watching closely did not note this change
in direction, and therefore ascribed the bat
ting rally Of the Senators that followed to
other causes. After the seventh 1t was all
over, so far as the Quakerville contingent
was concerned. McJames was taken out
CT the game after the sixth inning, not be-
cause he was hit hard, but because a rap
idly developing tendency toward wildness
became strikingiy noticeable. German, who
succe ded him. permitted no hits to be
made off his delivery.
Manager Schmelz should be given credit
for sending Farrell to the bat in place of
McJameS in the seventh inning, when two
men were on bases. The Dukes timely
single tied the score and had not little
to do with the winning Of the game.
In the third inning. with Cross third
base, Cooley sent a high one into left field
Lush ran forward, caught the ball and by
a beautiful throw TO the plate retired Cross
and completed double play. In the sec
ond Lush also made a line catch of high
foul that descended near the left field
U Brien made two magnificent stops, re-
tiring the runner each time at first
In the sixth Abbey, after reaching first
cleverly. stole second and third, although
the decisions were unusually close. A
Philadelphian named Delehanty caused
Umpire Lynch such great annoyance by
persistent objection to his ruling that
landed Abbey safe on third that he was
ordered to the bench. Geier, the Wash
iEgtCn boy, took his place in left field. In
the eighth Smith hit the ball to deep short
ard beat it to first. O'Brien bunted safely
Smith going to second. Brown sacrificed
and Smith was advanced to third and
O'Brien to second. 1t looked very much as
though two runs would follow especially
when Cartwright banged the ball with ter
rific force toward third base. Cross put
cut his NIT and the ball remained there
smith had started for home and Cross
touched the bag, completing a double play
ard retiring the side unassisted.
Ihe PhilIieS We're blanked in their half
OF the first. but Lush, the first man up for
the Senators, made a single. which was
followed by another off DeMontreville's
bat. ard scored on Abbey's out Taylor to
Lajo!e. The Senators did not score again
until the fifth. when Brown got his base
on balls, went to second on Cartwright's 3
SINGLE and came home on Lush's second
hit. The Phillies had in the meantime
scored two in the fourth and one in the
hfth. making the score one to the good
in their favor. A hit by Thompson and a
base on balls put two On the bases, and
Hallman, with a single, sent both runners
in.
In the fifth Taylor made a single. went
to third on a tumble and bad throw BY
Smith. and scored on Hulens out at first
In the first half of the seventh the Phillies
made another. by means of a triple, by
Boyle. and double. by Cross, although
the latter was put out trying to stretch
1t into three-baser. In their half Of the
lucky seventh. however the Senators took
a brace. Brown made a single. Cart
wright got his base on balls and Farrell,
who batted in McJames' place. sent them
in with sounding hit. Lush was equal to
the occasion and made his third hit of the
game. DeMontreville followed with an
other. and two more runs were added to
the increasing total.
This put the Senators two ahead, and, as
German was substituted for McJames in
the last two innings. but two players from
the city Of brotherly love saw first base
and these were gifts. The score:
