The game played Saturday at National
Park between the Louisville and Washing
ton clubs resulted in a tie to latter
playing ten inniI gs. From beginning to
end the contest WAS full of interest, SEN
sational plays predominating and batting
heavy enough to inspire a majority of the
spectators with the belief that each pitch
er would hardly last out the inning. Then
the twirlers would take a brace, and as
result the runners would be anchored on
the bases. Washington had nine and
Louisville seven men left on bases, which
tells how effective both pitchers were in
tight places.
McJames did the Etching for the Sena-
tors, and gave a poor exhibition outside of
being able to keep the hits scattered. Wild
ness was his fatal weakness, as he sent
four men to first on balls and hit another.
Little Cunningham was on the rubber for
the Louisvilles, and, although he was hit
bard, he was lucky in getting out of tight
places through remarkable fielding Of the
men behind him. Dolan at short captured
ball from Farrell's bat about a foot from
the ground that should have gone safe but
which stuck to the glove and made SEN
sa tional out. Nance in right field lost one
ball by an ugly bound, but he redeemed
himself by catching a hard fly from Sell
bach's bat and throwing McJames out at
hrst, pretty double play. Wrsiey at
short and DeMont at second took care of
everything that came their way. the former
having twelve chances and missing but
one, while the latter had ten ana Captured
them all.
Tommy Tucker had one of his good DAYS
accepting fifteen chances at first without
an error and hit the ball for a double,
triple and a home run, record to be
proud of. Both clubs played dumb hall at
times on the bases. DeMont trying to steal
on wild throw stopped by Werlen, and
Werden suffering from a pretty throw of
Browns that nailed him at second when he
could have had the bag stolen easily If he
had waited for the catch half way to sec
ond. Emslie returned to Washington and
of course, umpired the game in frsr-class
style.
