Notes Of the Game.


McGraw's safe bunt in the first inning
was against the wishes Of his companions,
| as Leahy was playing up close. But Ma:
tcok his own counsel and dumped the ball
| IN way chat the best third baseman In
the business could not have got it.
rom Browns catch IN the first inning was
worth the trip to Baltimore. Kelley met
the ball squarely on the nose as only Kel-
ley can, and away 1t sailed toward center.
| Brown judged 1t nicely, turned his back
| on the ball and ran like a deer toward the
fence. Just as the little white sphere was
going over his head he put out both hands
ana ana pured II In. completing beautiful
play. The Baltimore people applauded as
heartily as the Washingtonians
Catcher Clarke remarked to Manager
Hanlon as he came to the bench: 1.-The ball
looks like pea as 1t comes over the
| plate" and the other players backed up
his remark with positive shakes of their
heads.
MeGraw was on first in the fifth and
tried to steal second. but was thrown out
! nicely by Farrell. Keller refused to strike
at the ball, and McJames assisted Farrell
with good throw. Jack Doyle slammed
down his bat and said: what do you
| think of that? Letting that pair of jays
pull off play like that on him. Take
brace there!' the latter Injunction being
shouted at McGraw at the top of his voice
And how the birdlets and audience did
watch that Brooklyn score! Brooklyn had
the best of it for two innings, but after
That little consolation came toward the
Baltimores. The Washington contingent
yelled like Indians when the Bostons shot
into the lead.
Jennings stop of Gettman's hit in the
seventh is one of Hughey's copyrighted af-
1airs and belongs to him alone. Every
body knows how Jake Gettman can get
down to first. Well, Jake hammered a
scorcher toward second and Jennings had
to travel about twenty-five feet to get his
hands III hnf ha uyifh ha
OF the ball on the bat and soooped it up on
The dead run with one hand A lightning
throw completed the play, which beat Gett-
man out by an eylash.
Catcher Robinson inquired of the tel,-
graph operator who was umpiring in
Brooklyn. Turning to Hanlon. Robinson
says: What do you think of that. Lynch
and Carpenter in Brooklyn. It's a cinch
Boston wins" Wonder who Robby wanted
to umpire in Brooklyn. ODay and KeIleyo
AS little pieces of yellow paper came fiut-
the battle in Brooklyn, Jack Doyle turned
to the players on the bench and asked the
score. Receiving no answer at once JACK
said: Never mind can tell the score by
long and pfnched.
Mrs. Tom Brown acted the part of mascot
for the Senators yesterday, occupying a
front seat In the ladies' section but she
refused to smile after the sixth inning
There was large attendance of the fair
sex at the game. but Mrs. Brown attracted
Unusual attention on account OF her beauty
and handsome gown.
Joe Corbett called out TO a friend in the
upper tier as the club was leaving the field:
Cheer up! But the case looks hopeless
as Boston seems able to take care of the
Bridegrooms while the indications have a
contrary look at Union Park
The Washington 'rooters" made so much
noise that several of the Baltimore people
remarked that they were worse than the
Boston delegation. They had no band, bur
they yelled In unison and with voices that
spoke volumes for the healthy climatic con-
ditions of Washington.
In the fourth inning McJames shot over
one of his terrifying fnshoots. Clarke WIS
at the bat and made quick drop, but the
ball whizzed by. just nipping his ear. He
went to first amid the laughter of the spec
tators; but nervy as Clarke is known to
be. he had to pull away from the plate on
the next turn I'D.
Jennings was called out on strikes in the
eighth. As the third strike came over and
What was the matter with that one
Hughey?" II was looking at the Brook
Ign score board replied Hughey, and he
walked away from the plate with a smile
on his face and without a kick.
Bresnehan and Mcguire will probably be
the Senator'S battery today, with Pond or
Amole opposing them.
Mondays defeat seems to have taken all
the life out of the Baltimore people, and
the small attendance yesterday can be ac-
counted for from this cause. The spec
tators will probably recover today and a
big attendance witness the second game CT
the series.
The Baltimore people. as a whole have
great respect for the Senators, and the
opinion was general yesterday that the
Orioles would have to play great ball to get
three out of the four games.
