By winning yesterday, scrappy Bill
Joyce's men got Il good hold on fiitn place
and pushed Baltimore dow to the second
roun,i ON the ladder. Anson's Colts moved
into sixth position by defeating the Pirates
anl are the Senators nearest neighbors.
Louisville was plUcky, and by playing
an errorless game, held the Spiders to a
tie, but at that Patsey's .'Tarantulas' went
T. the top OF tine column because OF the
Orioles licking by the locals. EOston
reacned tne six nundred marx and four bet
ter by beating the iopy QuaSers, and Brook
lyd novel up few inches by putting the
kchosh over the Giants. or course, Gill
c,nnatI took anotiier faIi out or st. IoJis.
The race grows hotter as the mercury
climbs the uulb.
1t was the most popular victory ever
won By the Senators. To win from any
old club always pleuses the fans, but to
throw the arrogant Orioles down with ease
and then rub IL in with home runs in the
ninth inning, and that too, off of their
prize pitcher, fills the cup OF bitterness
to overflOwing.
There was not a single, solitary person
OF the Z ,3S4 present who regretted that
they deried the threatening weather that
they might see the game. OF course. the
Baltimore partisans would have preferred
IA different result, but tLeir disappointment
Grated by tie exhibition OF baseball that
was given by Scrappy's band OF states
men.
The ladies' were faithful as usual and
rlsked their pretty clothes that they might
assist the Senators in downing their ''hated
riy ais
The usual band concert preceded the
game, which opened under the most uD-
favorable auspices. So far as the weather
was concerned.
OTHERWISE ALL RIGHT
The other part of the opening was au-
spicious. As for the Senators, il was like
prying & theoid lidoffa jackpot withfouraCes
When Tom Brown hit for base in the in
itiai inning and trotted home ahead OF
Joyce: when Scrappy murdered McMabon's
first pitch it was all over for the visitors
from the so-cailed Monumental City.
They quit like a-barnyard rooster who
has had toe & tff stuck through his feathers,
or like quarter horse who attempts mils
distance against thoroughbred.
With the two runs against them, the
champions-save the tltle-commen ced
=
to bully Hurst. But they Were up against
the real old thing in every way and were
forced TO take their medicine despite the
bitter dose.
MAUI BEGAN IT.
Maui started in to pitch. but the wet bail
was against him, and Capt. Joyce retired
hiInn the middle of theinning. German was
substituted for the remainder and Lcstes
retired the side on three pitched balls.
''Siiver" King had warmed up in the
..
beginning of the second. How well the ex-
champion Brown Stocking fulfilled the un
expected task imposed upon him is told
by the score.
A catch by Keller of a screaming drive
from LuslI's bat was the chief fielding
feature of their play. WI hich. together
with Jennings and Kelly's work at short
and left field and ex-senator DOEnelly's
batting was the only return they gave -.
large audience for their atrn ission money.
Blu. the Senators did the rest.
For the locals. the fielding Of Cartwright,
HeMontreville and Joyce was bordering
I !. sensational. Cartwright had q number
OF exceedingly fast and hard thrown balls
to handle. but Ed's hands were always
at the ght spot. while his pedal extremi-
ties iways toed the bag.
Billy Lush had nothing much to do in
his garden in the way OF hoeing down
hits. put he made up for the vacancy by
mas:rg a pretty bnnt and beauty two
ba gger. But how that boy can run!
The Senators took the heart out of Nc
ManoD in tie first half of the first inning.
With the rain falling in sheets. Tom Brown
stepped to the left of the rubber and with
out much ado knocked the ball to right for n
sack Capt. Joyce then came to hat and
rewarded the audience. who applauded him
loud and long, by driving the ball into the
b.eachers for u homer. Selbach flew out to
Keelcr and Lush and Cartwright were re-
tired at first.
SECOND WAS BLANK.
The second was blank. In the third
Brown drew a base on balls and went to
third on Robinson's error. Joyce also
walked. Selbach singled, scoring Brown. |
Lush advanced Joyce and Selbach with a |
pretty bunt and Joyce tailed run No. 4 |
Oh Cartwright's fly to Brode Selbach was |
left at second on McGuire's fly to Kelly
In tue fourth DeMontrevilIe scored on |
his base hit. Kings drive to right-cecter |
md Tom Browns fly out to Brodie.
The NTH was u blank. but in the sixth |
two runs were pushed across the plate. |
Crooks bunted safely. but was forced at |
second by DeMontreville's tap to Jen- /
nngs. King drew a base on balls. DeMont /,
rea c,ied third on a passed ball and Don
ieiiy's dumb pla ying at third. Tom Brown |
singled, scoring DeMont, and King regis
