Forty-five minutes after the Senators
got off the train at the Baltimore and
Ohio station they began the game at
National Park yesterday, and two hours
and ten minutes later they were defeated
by the Chicagos by a score Of 10 to 1.
Tho wait of two hours in New York for
Mr. Wagner and the long ride affected
some of the Statesmen, and as a whole
the game they put mp was OF the slovenly
order Many OF the cranks VIII be liberal
enough to excuse them on this score, us
a ride on fast express with .uxuriant
coaches has a tendency to make people
who do not often ride six hours on a
stretch rather tiled
On the otner hand, the visitors, coming
from three days sojourn al Deer Park,
Md, We're as fTisky as two year-olds Ia
pasture, Ansons men were especially
strong at the bat, and Clark Griffith had
the locals guessing after the rirst inning

the eighth when be struck him out with
a crap throw pitch. The garr ulous Thomas
was speeches. v hen he saw the ban float
ing over the plate and heard Umpire
Lynch can him out.
There were some marked featUr res which
nvened things up, however, and the
500 spectators went beyond their usual
liberallty and We're particularly loud IN
their applause OF good plays made by
the visiting team, and on one or two occa
sions they jeered the home players. De
Mentrevine's had work called forth un-
favorable comment His two errors were
wretched and his failure TO hold thrown
ball, on which a double play would have
resulted, evoked Kisses and jibes.
King and Tucker contributed TO the
bungling playing, and the formers effort
10 get a ground ball was so humiliating
that it is a wonder that rain did not fall
Wngley put up d brilliant game, and some
OF his assists were highly sensational He
caught Anson's liner in the ninth by a high
jump, and his single n the fourth drove in
fuckers run
oBrien had plenty TO do in the way OF
put-outs, and he did his work in faultless
style. SeIbach captured fuckers long H.
IN the seventh after running with the ball
and making a side jump. He fell on his
back. but he held on to the leather
In the next inning Tom Brown started "a
yell by coming in from deep center with a
great burst OF speed and grabbing McCor-
mick s line fly six inches from the ground
IL was a greet catch, and, had the score
been reversed, there would have been no
end 10 the cheering
Silver KING Was an easy mark for the
Colts, and Mccormick and Lange hit hirn
hard enough 10 drive him out of the box,
but Brown kept him there, and the public
was deprived OF seeing any of the new men
signed by Magnate Wagner. There were
calls for Fox, Gottrnan and BreSnahan, but
the old-timers were kept in their places
Even Ia the last inning King was sent to the
bat. when it would have been graciousact
ON the part Of Capt Brown to trot out the
''Keeler of the Texas League
The colts Were sent 20 the bat and Nc
Cormick drove sharp one over second
which IteMontTeyiIle could not handle.
After Dahlen struck out. Lange made Q
double. Anson singled and Ryan went
out on hot one to Wrigiey. Errors by
DeMontreville and Tucker aided the scor
ing OF three runs.
In the fourth the visitors pounced upon
King TO the tune OF three singles Gala
han, Decker and Donahue driving them GU {
Griffith made a neat sacrifice. Two runs
were scored.
The sixth was regular ascension episode
Decker walked and DeMontrevile failed to
hold O'Brien's throw of Griffith's gromdeI
on which a double play could have easily
been completed Then King allowed
Donohue's bunt to go through his legs
and the bases were full Mccormick drov,
two runs home with his liner to left center
and Everitt, who took Dahlen place, sacri
ficed. Lange banged the ball for three
bases in selbach's territory, and the biz
outfielder came home with the fifth rur
on Ryan's single. The latter was thrown
out for the second time while trying &
steal the middle bag.
The locals opened upon Griffith in Q
wicked manner. After selhach went out
on an easy fly Brown singled and scored
On DeMontreville's triple. The latter
could not score as Farrell and Tucker
