The morning times., 1896-08-08

The Senators were quick to take ad-
vantage OF Boston's errors in tie eighth
inning yesterday, and before the Bean
eaters could pull themselves together four
OF the Schmelzites had crossed the plate,
which was plenty, as subsequent events
proved The Senators pla yed their famous
uphilr' game and deserved to win; the
more SO that hard working Lester German
was i'll the box and saved not his meal
ticket arm that one victory, at least, might
be the clubs portion on the short Eastern
trip. Scrappy Bill and his new band
We're slaughtered at Baltimore, but not a
single lamb did Scrippy contribute to
tile butcher. He playc n clean fielding
game and smashed the ball that scored
New York's only run. The ex-captain
of the Senator'S also kept up his record by
purioiniBg base. Ex-senator ''Joa"
Meekin was the primary cause OF the
Giants troubles. He fioated the ball up
to the plate like Chinese lanterns and as
a consequence, New York is in tenth place
again tins morning Patsey and his Spiders
and Cornelius McGillicuddy's Pirates fought
an eleven inning battle at Cleveland to a
tie-tbe score standing to 3 when dark
ness compelled Umpire EIns!ie to call the
game. Rain prevented Brooklyn from
again pudding in the Philadelphia putldin',

Especial TO The Timesl
Boston, Aug. AFTER leading the sena
tors for seven innings by score OF 10
o, the Bostons were beaten out yesterday
at the South End grounds.
The phenomenal fielding Of Herman Long
stopped base hits and cut off runs for the
visitors until it looked as though Jack
Stivetts was pitching grand game of bail.
German, the New York 6ast-off, was in
the points for Washington, and pitched
an effective game, working his man fer
the limit each time. He made sacrifice
hitting look like lest art, and prevented
men from scoring after reaching second
and third and no out.
Boston had scored one in the third on
Farrell's error and lannon's single, and
Long made it more certain with a home
run in the sixth. Jack Stivetts has Il
habit OF going in the air about the seventh
and he was doing a record time, for the
first man was given a base. to be forced
out The second base on balls came is
soon al four balls could go for the plate.
German then hit n merry little grounder
to Duffy, which the young man fell all
over, filling the bases. Lush had Stivetts
in the hole with three bad balls and no
strikes, then he lined the ball over Ban
W
and the score was tied.
With men at second and third, Sullivan
came in to pitch. The first ball he sent
up was hit for single by DeMont, and the
two runs necessary to win went scamper
ing over the plate.
Collins lost the game fer Boston by fail
ing to score in the seventh on Hamilton's
fly TO right, the former tripping about two
feet from the plate II was one Of the
most unaccountable misfortunes ever seen
TO fall to pla yer and something of the
nature of the poor judgment used by
Collins, when he hurt himself at Baltimore
iii the spring.
