L
other Indians, lad an easy time at Ma
tional Park yesterday afternoon, shutting
out the Senators. and, at the same time,
ma king seven uins. They played baseball
in a refreshing manner, and the raw air
seemed to be just to their liking. The
manner in which they hit the ball, ran
the bases and fieided must have been q
revelation TO an eleventh place club.
wilson, whom the Bostons hit last week
for q total of thTty-five hits, held the
home tea m down to five singles and q
three bagger, in as many innings. He
had good cont rol, striking out five men,
and gave two men bases on balls. He hit
Tucker, but it did not affect the score
In the least, as Thomas was thrown out
in an attempt to steal second.
The men behind him gave him excellent
support Childs and Mexican Were every
where, and Wallace scooped up Reilly's
guunder, which looked safe and, with
Childs and Tebeau, made double play.
1t was q marvellous stop, and Came very
near carrying the twirling baseman Off
his feet.
At the bat they found DR.. McJames at
merry chase after the leather. Wrisley
also had use for a high-grade wheel i'll
left In the last three innings the base
hits fell thick and fast from the bats OF
the Indians. They We're not confined TO
singles alone, but doubles and triples were
mixed up in the fusillade.
O'Connor was strong behind the bat, and
backed up Wilson in fine style. He landed
on one of McJames straights and sent IL
TO left center, reaching third in hollow
canter. The real Indian dumped one down
in front OF the plate and was at first be
fore the South Carolina twirler could get
to the ball. His next hit was liner to
right.
About 1000 persons were in attendance,
and those who had overcoats were the
only ones who Were comfortable. 1t was
cold and disagTeeable, and the sun was
hidden behind heavy clouds. The cranks
were joyous for several innings, but their
enthusiasm was quickly exhausted There
was no hitting by the Senators, and when
it became evident that there would be no
occasion for cheering for them, the fans
applauded the good work of the visitors.
The Senators work in the field was
better than it has been of late. fuckers
base play was feature. He handled the
badlythrown balls as easily as he did
those that came to him accurately; but
all his ginger had no effect in enliven-
ing his companions.
DeMontreville made two errors, and at
least three runs can be accredited to his
misplays. He made a nice stop of Sock
alexis grounder, but his throw to first
was wretched. He duplicated the per
formance when after he funlbled Child's
hit he threw wild to O'Brien Brown IS
fielding was far from the brilliancy which
has characterized his work recently, and
he seemed to have a dark eye for high
balls.
Mcclure, O'Bnen and Reilly did their
duty well, and the latter's catch of a
line drive was very neat play
For two innings it looked as though the
eleventh place club would make a good
showing against the team which has won
and lost the Temple Cup But in the third
there was q bump DeMontreville' s low
throw TO Tucker let the genuine Indian
safe on first in the third and before he
made an effort TO steal Child's walked
to theinitiai bag Mexican advanced them
a base on his out, o'Briens quick work
tHt McaittI sltI Two
strikes and three balls and then he made
single over second, sending in the two
men on bases.
The eventful seventh was bad one for
the Senators. After Wilson was thrown
out Sock alexis walked, Childs, Mexican and
Wallace singled, DeMontreville made an
error and McJames 1, wild pitch. Three
runs scored during the disturbance.
After McGure's great catch Of Tebeau's
high foul near the grand stand In the
eighth, O'Conner raped out triple and
scored on high bound to McJames, who
could easily have thrown the batter ont
at first, but made no attempt to field.
Wallace sent one over Tom Browns head
in the ninth and rested on third. He scored
on Blake's out at first. Teheau then gave
Tom Brown another run for his money and
easily made second, going to third on q
