Great Pitching and n Fine Batting
Rally in BROOKLYN.
James McJames did nobly in Brooklyn
yesterday. For every hit the Bridegrooms
made one Of their men struck out. Five
times did the greater New Workers find his
curves for safe hits and five times did they
swat vtciously at the unoffending air and
strike nothing else. Meanwhile the Sena-
torial batting talent was in fine form, and
with the score standing three to one
against Joyce's mel, they started in to win
IN the old lucky seventh, ard tying the
score then by making brace Of runs they
took lead in the eighth by tallyng three
more, ard finished Up in the ninth with an
other, while James McJames was working
his good right arm and paralyzing the
Brooklyn batsmen.
Washington's field work was somewhat
rocky. 1t might easily have been several
shades better, and had it been SO doubtless
the Grooms would have been shut out But
Joyce and his artists are not looking gift
horses in the mouth these days. Games
won count very large in the per capita
score, whether they are shutouts or Just
plain. everyday wins. So there are no
kicks going around from the Washington
end OF things.
In the first inning Washington failed to
score. With OBrien cut Selbacn drew a
base on balls and DeMontreville hit to cen
ter for a base Joyce could not get his
drive past Pitcher Kennedy and then Nc
NulTe JlieQ ANDERSON.
In the second Kennedy gave a great ex-
hlbltlon of how not to pitch ball, sending
Cartwright, Lush. O'Brien and Seibach to
first on balls and forcing in Cartwright.
There were then two out and DeMontreville
sent grourder to Shindle, who retired the
side with the bases filled.
The gift business was kept up by Wash
ington in the latter half Of this inning
joyce let LaChance's grounder go through
him after Anderson had gone down on
balls. Selbach threw the ball in wildly
from left, Anderson scored and LaChance
reached third. Shoch beat out hit to Nc
James. Then Mcclure threw down to sec
ond to entice LaChance to run, which he
did promptly. OBrien, however, muffed
the throw and LaChance scored These
three errors represented the worst work by
washington. and as the batting rally af-
terward redeemed the game they were not
very costly. But the Statesmen were not
content with one yellow inning In the
tnlrd with two men out Joyce made a wide
throw Of Jones grounder and the runner
reached third. scoring on Corcoran's sin
gle.
For three innings then no runs were tall
ned. washington broke the monotony in
the seventh. McJames hit to left for one
base and O'Brien lined out a double to deep
right. Selbach went out and DeMontreville
scored the two walters by pushing out a
neat single to left. Joyce also singled and
MCGUIRE went down on balls. filling the
tascs Brown lined one at LaChance, who
Just managed to hold the sphere while he
tagged the bag. and thus doubled MCGUIRE,
:" ho had started for second thinking the hit
was safe.
This bit of hard luck was evened up in
the eighth. Cartwright put a solid single
1nto right and Lush sent dinky little safe
one at LaChance. who threw over Ken
Eedy's head and Cartwright reached third
McJames sacrificed. Kennedy to LaChance,
and O.Brien was hit filling the bases Sell
bach did not mean to make a single into
right, but he could not help it, for as he
stepped away from a high in-shoot the
ball tipped his bat and rolled out past
Shoch while Cartwright and Lush scored.
DeMontreville filed out to Anderson and
OBren scored.
In the ninth Cartwright found a good
ball that he drove out for three bags and
Lush's single enabled the big man to
score the last run of the game.
The Grooms were unable to make con-
necticns with effect with the ball after the
third inning, and the Statesmen, becom-
ing discouraged at their indifference, stop
ped making errors, SO that the result came
Washlngtons way easily. The score:
