The times., 1897-06-19

Again victorious over the Kentucky
congeries of the National League, the
Senators went into tenth place yesterday
afternoon, and by defeating them today
they will pass the Colonies and galop
into ninth. This achievement viii be n
fitting close to week OF great ball pla y
ing.
Therooters wereoutin force eandresponded
to the batting rally in the sixth, when
Chicken Fraser was touched up for foIr
singles in succession. The memorable
seventh was passed without score, and,
singular as it may seem, the fair fans did
not stand up. Even the urging ofa roofing
bleacherite to the fashion of Get up, girls,"
had no effect Only two responded and
they evidently yfeitlonesoIne as they quickly
sat down
McJanes had the visitors at bis mercy,
but he was very wild, and 1t looked as
though he was badly coached by McGuire.
lie had two wild pitches. hit one man, and
gave five bases on balls. But he redeemed
himself to a large degree by fielding his
position and driving in run with
single lie covered first twice in such
remarkably fast style that he surprised
everyone. At another period he stopped
stafford's liner that went at him like
shot He even tried to stretch his single
into double.
Reilly fielded his position in keeping
with the manner that Virginia darkey
devours a watermelon In the ninth in
ming with man on third he caught Cling
mans liner, and completed a double play
unassisted by catching Dexter off the
base. He made several sensational stops
and quick throws, fielding Fraser out at
second on q bunt.
O'Brien Travelled far into right field in
the seventh and gathering up Johnson's
e-looking single threw the batter out
at first DeMontreville was very strong,
ard he has again played himself into
favor by his excellent work. His two hits
sent men across the plate each time.
Abbey and Brown had a collision in
right center. Perry Weroen drove high
fly into that territory and both men went
after the leather 1t was Abbey's bali,
and the blonde fielder had it fair in his
hands when Brown ran into him, the tall
falling out of his hands as he went down.
Neither man was hurt, but Werden reach
ed second.
Mcclure threw well to the bases, and
caught Fraser off third on fent to throw
to second, when MoCreery made a steal in
the third. He won Eox Of good cigars
on a bet that he would make three hits.
He had two passed balls, however, which
really made the first score possible.
The two pitchers had similar record
They each batted in a run, after the
40 l,ad 70, l,oI1e ~,
the fifth inning. Fraser was probably en-
deavoring to keep up the pace with the
doctor, as he, also, had a wild pitch
which let in run.
Stafford and johnson acquitted them
selves in the field in graduating likeness,
and Werden took everything in faultless
style. McCreery made a nice running eaten,
and recovered grounder that got away
from Pickering, and threw the runner
out at second
Selhach went after Werden's long drive
in the sixth like criminal flees from the
strong arm Of Judge Lynch. Like the
pursueI he captured the sphere, and the
1920 people present gave him as much
applause as an entire community would to
commend the action of lawless mob
which had hanged their victim to the first
strong limb they came to. The rooters
again eave him a send off in the ninth
when he send a crusher into left for three
bases.
