Remarks in Baltimore,

1t was a day CT bunts
The grounds were very soggy in some
| places.
The bunting by the Orioles ratified Nc
James
Tom Brown persisted in coaching out
side the box. and was called down by
Lynch.
In practice before the game McGraw
played at first.
McCauley went after fouls in a scientific
me- nner and nailed three.
Hughey's left-handed catch was fea-
| ture. His features are always prominent
Dr. Arlie famed out twice, but he
avenged himself by turning the tables on
Jimmy McJames.
Farrell's work at third was bordering
on the yellow sort. He proved himself
weak on ground balls.
Lush and O'Brien were quick enough to
double the champions in the first after
three hits had been marked up.
Clarke has trained Lynch to say in a
basso-profundo Throw it over" when a
foul goes over the grand stand.
A Washington fan in the grand stand
possessed a voice like a steam whistle
and he "piped her off, several times.
Norton. the erstwhile reporter and cleo
trictan of the Senator'S. succeeded Nc
James In the sixth. His delivery was
rather slow.
Mr.. Lynch's method of procedure In Sc
curing safe place to stand amused the
bleachers. He placed the remains of
1t for a platform.
1t required about seven Of the Senators
to put out Jennings in the fourth. With
Hughey on third, Keller jumped first,
and Mcclure threw to O'Brien. Keller
was caught Of, and Cartwright, DeMont
and O'Bren started to run him down.
when Jennings stsrted for home. The
ball was thrown to Mcclure and to Far
rell. and Jennings became the object of
the activity. Hughey could not get his
footing because Of the mud, and ran on
the turf, lodging hther and tkither until
Lynch declared him out for running out
of line
McJames pitched the first five innings
for Washington and would probably have
done well had Baltimore gone at him in
the old-fashioned way, but bunting ratified
him.
People over the country are predicting
that McJames will be a great pitcher some
day. He may be-some day-but that
day was not yesterday. There was a great
contrast in the work of the pitchers in
these five innings
When the rain made the diamond muddy
there were many to predict that Wash
ington would at last get a game, tho
home team are not good mud horses. This
same wetness caused much slipping and
sliding. and prevented some sensational
plays.
Norton's wildness encouraged a couple
OF most untimely errors. In the last two
innings the champions did not half try.
How to play championship ball and how
trated at Union Park yesterday after
noon In the game between Baltimore and
Washington.
To go up against Washington now is
more and more different proposition than
last year, when the Senators were wont
to come here and lose games by such
scores as one to nothing or, even, to win
them. 1t would seem that nothing bur
the rankest sort of carelessness could keep
the champions from winning from the
Wagnerians every time.
Base Ball Notes.

to make this season.
McAleer of the Clevelands is on the

were dismissed In the Cincinnati police
