The Senators played good game In the
field. but they did not know what to do
when they got on the bases. having four
teen men left in that manner. Meekin was
wild. giving eleven bases on balls; but good
support and the Senator's poor base-run-
ming enabled lin to pull through. The
fielding Of Brown was one of the clever
fea eatures.-Tribune.
1t is fair to say right here that the Wash
1rstons have a first-class team, and that
they are playing better ball than ever be-
fore stree their entry to the league. They
do not quit, and in yesterdays struggle
they fought for victory until a beautiful
one-hand stop By Bill Gleason left three

The game must be classed as one Of the
most peculiar Of all which have ever been
played In New York. The Giants made
nine Its in their eight innings. and eight
OF the nine hits came in the third earning
six runs. On the other hand, the Wash
ingtons faced Meekin for seven innings
without making more than single hit.
There were other remarkable features in
the game, the most prominent of which is
that the visitors had only two assists.
doubt whether that record has been equal

flies to the outfield. and eighteen Of them,
or all but six, were victims Of fly balls

Silver King, in rejuvepated form. pitched
most cIeditable game, barring the third
inning. He did not use much speed, but
had excellent control and the finest kind

were retired on fly balls, eight Of which
were gobbled by Tom Brown. The fact that
the visitors had but two assists all through
the game Is curious feature, too.-Sun.
