conquered. Kid Nichols made an especiaI
trip to the Capital To wrest a game from
the fast young men on Magnate Wagner's
pay roll. He was crestfallen when the
game was over. The Bpstons lost by a
score Of ! . to 5, and the prince Of fielding
pitchers was easy to the Senators after
the sixth inning.
1t was a brilliant game from this end of

Vile We're fast and clean. Selbach was a
regular whirlwind in the Outrieid Four

Especially did he distinguish himself in
the ninth, when he captured fuckers

Tom Brown got in the game at very

ninth. catching McGann at third, wss one
OF the features of the contest.
OF late the kinks in Farrell's arm have
all been Strengthened out, and the way
he threw 10 bases is n caution. Even that
has BEEN swift, Hamilton, was twice
a victim to Charley's strong right arm.
Once at second and again at third, when he
was caught mapping. The crowd of 1000
guyed the cN-Quaker numerically, hut he
had no chance to escape. Smith put the
bali on him so quickly that he was non
plussed.
TENNEY CAUGHT ON AN OLD PLAY.
Teuney was also much N the minor
league order. He forced Hamilton at
second, with Nichols on third, and then
wandered off first, and chewed the rag

pitious inning was nipped in the bud.
The Senators were the first to score.
Collins made his usual disastrous throw to
the grand stand, and Long, not to be out
done, made a similar throw. Two runs
were scored on the niisplays. 1t was the
beginning OF the end, and the ending was
cyclonic.
Cartwright was taken suddenly ill after
making a single and McGuirs took his
place in the eighth, and the old reliable
won silver praise by his genuine work.
IT WAS MERGERS LAST GAME.
Mercer agreed to pitch in order that he
could go home last night, and he will
have Bicc little story to tell his East
Liverpool friends about his last game
against the Beaneaters. He was wild, at
times, but steadied himself when it was
required. Knowing that he was against

Lush made great play in the seventh.
He was on third and played Off while
Tucker had the ball. He made a feint
to go back to Collins bag, but when he
saw Tucker lobbing the ball to third he
easily stole home. Selbach, also, stole
third while Bergen held the ball arguing
about a decision. There was lots OF
ginger.
RUNS MADE BY THE BOsTONs.
The Bostons did not score until the sixth
inning. Nichols walked to first and on
Hamilton's hit went to third. After the

FANS AROSE IN THE SEVENTH.
The Senators began scoring in the fifth.
