mental City Papers.
Washington was defeated again at Balt-
more by the Orioles, but that it was hard
luck to lose the contest after playing all
around Hanlon's team the following from
the Baltimore American testifies:
1.-The Washington team outbatted, out
fielded and in every way outclassed the
champions yesterday, Y, and yet were defeated
by score Of TO 4.
The birds, with the utmost regularity,
swung at the ball with force enough 70 send
gave the Senatorial inficld chance to dis
tinguish itself 10y fine stops and throws In
this line De MoRtreviIle, at short field, and
wngley, atseoond, carr led off the honors by
nipping inthe bud j number OF fhot glounders.
The fielding OF the Sena tors was clean,
sharp and beautiful Silver King, that
much under-rat cd twirler, was In tie box
for Washington, and pitched game equal
to any In his palmiest days. Up to The
sixth inning lle had allowed but one MT,
and, with that except on, not another
ball had been knocked out OF the dianDnd.
lie h ad all kinds OF speed, good curves and
most excellent Judgment, and IT was by no
means his fault that his team got the wrong
end of the score.
The turn OF affairs came so suddenly
that IL electrified the exceedingly sEau
band of rooters present into the widest IN
thusiasm 1t all happened In the eighth
inning, and was most theartrendlncending
to the fine game put up by Silver King
and his friends Until the ending OF The
fatal eighth the Senators had the game in
pocket as it were, and the eighteen hun
dred spectators had given up hope and
started telling "reminiscences OF what the
ch '.mpions would have done in case Dke
this last year"
The sun says: Both sides had TO coa
tend against good pitching yesterday
Jerry Nops was in fine form, and had he
been supported perfectly, not run would
have been made on him. Errors and otner
bad fielding gave the visitors all their
three runs in the fifth inning, and the run
in the sixth inning was the result of three
errors punched in that inning.
"'Slver' King pitched effectively up
to the eighth inning, when he seemed to |
get ratified a little and weakened per |
ceptibiy.
"Dowerman's batting was one OF the |
priIcipal features in the victory. His home |
run started the run-getting, and his single |
in the ninth was timely. lie struck out |
the first time at the bat, and the other |
three times made two singles and |
homer.
The visitors fielded in fine style and |
batted well wrigley's error in the eighth |
inning, however, was very costly, and was |
really what enabled the Orioles 10 win |
when they did.
Jennings was given an ovation by the !
little crowd of faithful rooters at the game |
w hen he took the field, and all the crpples |
got applause.
Nothing was done In the seventh, and ii |
looked like a bad chance, but in the eighth |
the Orioles went in and won the game, |
with a run to spare. McGraw got a base |
on balls. and the crowd was surprised and |
delighted to see the regular old Oriole |
hit-ani-run trick played by McGraw and
Keeler. 1t was good for sore eyes and sore
baseball hearts. Jennings was struck by
filling the corners. with none out. Kelley
hit to DeMontreyille, but Wrigley muffed
his throw and Jennings ives safe, McGraw
and Keeler scoring Stencil flied to Reilly.
Doyle singled to center and Jennings
scored. Kelley and Doyle moved up an
Reitz's out, and both scored on Bower
mans third successive hit
The Herald says: The game, as on
Thursday, was more OF q pitchers battle |
than anything else, and Nops had decidedly |
the hest of it. At first it looked as if |
Jerry would have to succurub 10 the on |
laughts OF the visitors, Int no such thing |
happened. Jerry simply kept on pitching, |
and finally got the Senatorial batsnen Just |
where he wantecthem. Then hiscomrades |
went in and won out the game
That the Champs did play well at times |
is evidenced by the unusually large num- |
bcr of double plays credited to them
five. Every one of these double PLAYS |
was skillfully executed. and was, so TO |
speak, life-saver The chances for |
them came when the greatest oppor.
tunitics We're offered for scoring runs, |
and through them at least five tallies |
were cut off. Two of them Were made on /
line flies TO infieiders, McGraw and Jcn- /
nings, and two were made on fly-outs to /
Kelley ana Keeler, on which base-run-
ners attempted to advance a base The |
other was the doubling up of men at |
second and first, and was d particularly |
fine piece of work.
"At first it looked as IL Silver King, who |
pitt he'd for Washington, had the Orioles
at his mercy. For four innings not a |
nit was made off him, and Ii was not until |
the fourth that the bail was driven out |
Of the diamond. After the fourth the
Champs began to get on to his delivery.

very hard, he was hit with enough fire.

1.-The fielding of the Senators behind |
King was excellent. Young DeMont dis
tinguished himself at different times AMI |
in the sixth, when he made |
catch Of Jennings pop fly |
Just behind third base. King fielded his
position In fine shape. and Selbach out |

Kelley to make two bases. 1t was not |
