more Series.
The game at Baltimore Saturday be-
tween the Senators and Orioles was placed
to the credit of the former, after playing
eight innings, by the score of 6 to 3.
Roger Bresnehan was sent to the rubber
for the Senators, but through poor support
behind him 1t was thought best to retire
him in favor of Swain. Hillary had his
confidence and speed with him and al
though considerable guying was INDUCED
in, the big boy kept at his work with a
hearty good will and as a result had the
Orioles guessing through the remaining
seven innings of the game
ANGLE did the twirling for the Baltimores
ana clearly demonstrated that he is a pitch
er Of the first rank. AS usual a left handler
proved big handicap for the Senator'S
hits in the fifth inning and through this
squirt cinched the game. Both teams
felded well. with the exception of little De-
Mont at second who seemed to have con-
siderable trouble with speedy grounders
In the first couple innings, but after that
he pulled himself together and did his usual
brilliant work
The base running of Setback was a fea-
tnre of the game the little German COM
ing all the way home frcm second on a
hit by DeMont toward Clarke at first
base. 1t took a slide of twenty feet to pull
the run, but Setback shot over the plate
like flash and Bowerman lost him.
Tommy fuckers nand was in terrible
bruised condition and Farrell relieved him
On the initial bag. Jennings Keller and
Doyle were again out of the game, but ii
made little difference as the substitutes
made the game interesting by their har
ard enthusiastic playing.
An extremely small gathering was at
the park, the contingent from Washingt on
being as large as the local attendance and
as for noise, the visiting fans simply tore
things loose and frightened up an other
wise sleepy contest The weather was raw
and cold, the spectators budding over
BACK OF the Washington clubs bench, and
took turns at urging their respective
favorites. Umpire Hurst was slow report
ing at the grounds and Corbett and Reilly
ofhciated for an inning, bur the latter's
work was poor and it was good thing
for the Senators that Hurst reported The
victory tied the Washingtons and Bronx
lynS for sixth place.
Notes of the Game.
When Swain went into the box in the
third inning Joe Kelley was the first bat
ter up. and he Immediately started to guy
Hillary, to the amusement of the Baltimore
people. But Swain furnished the fun for
the Washington fans when he made
monkey of Kelley by striking him out.
Captain Tom Brown took his wife and
little girl over to Baltimore-to see the last
bench as a mascot, and proved a lucky
one. McGraw objected to the little girl,
saying:
Come. Tom. we can't win this game if
you are going to ring in fairies as mas
cots"
That's just what we want" replied
Brown. I'VE need this game and we are
going to get it,
President Won Der Horst and Earl Wag-
ner took seats among the Washington root
erS, but the noise was too much for the
two magnates. When they deserted the
crowd for more quiet seats a great yell
went up.
Zeke Wrigley made a great stop in the
fifth inning and got his man at second The
ball was extremely swift and held the
ground persistently, but just as the short
stop reached for it the ball took an ugly
bound and struck him i'm the face Zeke
recovered himself instantly and tossed the
ball to De Mont.
The two new men drafted from the New
England League, Donovan and Todd, are
both pitchers, the latter being a left-hand-
er. Both men were well recommended,
and as Mr.. Wagner has had luck with
young pitchers, he concluded to take a
chance on these men.
Stencil in center field played like man
with thousand dollars advance money in
sight. Nothing seemed too hard for him;
the short and long flies he pulled down,
knocking the Senators out of about six
additional runs
After the game-there was a great hand
shaking contest at the Carrollton Hotel
Tom Leahy, Bresnehan and Mcclure GO
ing home from Baltimore while the re-
naming players left for Washington to
spend Sunday. Brown is the only man who
will winter in Washington, the other play
ers leaving for home by tonight.
