A Game of See-Saw Until Ryan's
Long Drive
Especial to The Times.)

Especial to The 1imes.)
Chicago, My 24.-It was a hard fought
contest and ten innings were required 10
decide it. For some unknown reason the
Colts were unable To hit German any oftener
than about once in the life time OF a Siberian
flea, but good luck and fairly clean game
made up for the deficiencies. The game was
closer than feathers on chicken and
better TO watch than dog fight III 4 bar
rel
At The end of the eighth inning the score
stood to 1 i'll the Senators favor. In the
second half of that chapter the Colts made
two and in the ninth Lush scored Joyce
with tbree-bagger, tieing the score.
In the asst bali of the tenth innin < Ryan
batted triple and scored on Cartwright S
error.
By the side of the ragged contest OF the
day before, the game was as pretty as a
dream dreamt III a refrigerator on a hot
summer night. IL was Il pitchers battle,
although it shouldn't have been on its
merits.
The Colts battedlike sa usages with hpimples
on the casings. and Friend sent more men
to bases on his wild delivery than he set
get there on hits. No less than four Of the
Senators received either the hard or the
soft side of the bail in the anatomy, which
ever way it happened TO be twisting. He
was wilder than a lunatic with a hornet
down his neck
REILLY's GREAT CATCH.
Like the previous game this one had a
star play, a catch even more sensa tional
than the one Brown made on Saturday.
Reilly made it, and was so surprised w lien
he found he had the BAH he swallowed lis
back hair. 1t came To pass in the eighth
inning Rogers knocked liner about seven
feet tall that Travelled Reilly's way. He
measured about three feet III dancing slip
pers, but his arms are longer than that
without gloves on. He threw one Of them
up in the air and jumped after it.. The ball
struck his hand and Rogers walked sadly
back from the other side of first, cursn &
his grandfather and other people who We're
not. to blame.
The chances are that Cartwright lost
the game for Washington. Ryan scored
the winning run on the big first baseman's
error. He was standing where his three
bagger had left him stranded waiting for
someone to pay his fare back home when
it happened.
Decker drove ball which went through
Cartwright's hands without stopping and
Ryan scored. There was but one out.
however, and high fly might have been
in store to save the big boy from the sting
of defeat.
Dahlen actually pulled through the game
without an error. tbe has either recovered
from his nightmare OF the past week
or else he has changed his brand of hop.
The game couldn't get along without its
funny error, and German made it. Friend
knocked an easy pop up which the pitcher
dropped as neatly as an agrculturist ever
dropped his money in the wilds of a great
city.
SILVER KINGS DEBUT.
The Senator's batting order was altered
more than the face OF nature. A left
handed pitcher in the box was the cause
Crooks went in 10 bat for German in the
ninth inning and this necessitated change
for the tenth, silver King, the newly
acquired twirler, went in for the last
inning. BE made the only strike-out of
the game. with Dahlen as the victim
he pitched a peculiar ball, which crept
ecIoss the plate sideways and was quite
effective.
washington's first run was made by
Brown on the strength of a two-bagger and
a bad throw of Decker's. Joyce made
the second one and the only one earned
on a single of his own, put-out, and a
single by MCGUIRE. Joyce scored the last
one after being hi by the ball on Lush IS
triple.
Anson has traded Flynn for Mccormick,
the indianapolis second baseman, whom
he tried to secure last year. He Will make
his first appearance at Philadelphia on
Tuesday. Bill Lange is at present out
of the game with badly strained leg.
