Especial to The Times. }


New York, April 30.-Tbe Senators made
q gallant effort today To increase the num-
ber of their victories, but luck, weather, and
the Bridegrooms were against them, and
they went down, but not, however, until
they had sent cold chils up and down the
spines of 5000 Brooklyn rooters, who
watched the game.
Not To deprive the man who was re-
sponsible for the defeat OF Capt. Joyce e
men OF his due share OF credit, it should
be said that Payne pitched great game,
as the official score will show. AT the
same time McJames worked in fine form
until the sixth inning, when he became
chilled and manifested inability 10 fool
the batsmeu who had up To that time
been his victims.
Taken all in all, the game was fine one.
The batting. while free was not distress
ingiy bountiful, and the fielding on both
sides was so snappy that at no time was
any one able to tell how the contest would
end.
MADE ALL THE ERRORS.
The only errors credited TO the Senators
were made by Joyce and Cartwright, and
both resulted IN runs. Joyces mlshap oc-
Cured in the second, when Burrell drove
''daisy-cutter' at the captains rect.
Joyce was running fast to intercept the
bah and was off his balance, and Just as he
touched the sphere II glanced off into right
field, and the bloud catcher was saie.
Cartwrights error was IN the latal
eighth when Shindle sent him q hot one
that took bad bound and escaped the
capacIous hands OF Mr.. Piano Legs. The
rest OF the team fieided In excellent style,
especially Rogers, wfo was onnlprpsent,
whether the balls were OH the ground or
in the air
Tom Brown distinguished himself by max
ing several fine catches and the other
selves and gave the Brooklyn audience a
good chance TO compare them with Tom
Mccarthy, the much-heralded acquisition
from Beanville.
Suffice it to say that the Capital didn t
suffer by the comparison. Gene DeMontre-
vile covered himself with glory at short
field.
DEMONTREVILLHS GOOD GAME.
The young man is getting 70 be lavoTlte,
and If he improves as he has IN the last
year will soon become rival 10 Corcoran,
VITO, by the way, was very much III evlGenee
today, as glance as the score will show.
The Washiugtons went to bat first. Moth
ing was accomplished IN the first inning,
but in the second selbacb drove Il mgh
one TO Anderson, who missed IL by an inch,
and the little German went to third.
Cartwright chased the Baron in with a
terrific drive TO left, which went through
Mccarthy and enabled the big first base
man to land at the third bag, whence hf
scored on Rogers out at first.
This ended the run getting for the Sena-
tors, though at several times they were
near the coveted rubber
The Bridegrooms were likewise uDfor
tunate in the first, but in the second
Shindles triple and Joyce's error netted
them a run. In the sixth they forged tC
the front by adding two 10 their score
on double by Anderson, singles by Shindle
and Corcoran and a couple OF stolen bases.
The cold had settled over the field in
tie eighth and McJames weakened suffi-
GENTLY 10 allow LaChance and Burrill 10
make singles and Daily TO drive a long
one out for three bases.
These, with a base on balls to Cor.
coran and Cartwrights error on Shindie 5
grounder, netted the Bridegrooms four
more and put the game beyond Wash
ingtOns reach.
