How different are the ballplayers rep
fesenting the City or Culture and those who
hall lfr0rn the City Of oysters. 1t was a rare
treat to have witnessed yesterdays game
at National Park. Although the home team
was defeated, the 1900 spectators saw
one Of the best games Of the season.
There was a gratifying absence Of the
rowdyisnl so conspicuous among the Orioles
There ie as much difference between the
two teams as there is between a dark cloud
oTerhanging National Park and beautiful
sunset OF the picturesque Potomac Where
the Raltimores are uncouth and rough the
Hubitcs arc sublime and genteel, and yet
they play han with the same correctness
and energy that characterizes the Oyster
town aggregation
Umpire EImslie had practically no trouble
with the players, and, while there were sew
erai close decisions, there was no embryotic
rIotOusnesS on tie part Of either team.
Young Wrigiey was again shifted. He
covered third yesterday because Reilly,
Mr.. Wagner said, had a broken finger.
The youngster again demonstrated that
he is a baIlpIayer, and twice he threw the
runner out at second, once taking part IN a
double play.
Dr. McJames was. on the rubber for the
Senators, and because OF his wildness the
Bostons scored seven runs. Three of his
bases on tails resulted in runs, and the man
he hit crossed the plate ahead Of Nichols
when the latter sent the leather into the
bleachers fer a home run But at that he
pitched good ball, and had Tom Brown
handled Stahrs single cleanly things might
have been different.
Old uan Mcguire found young man
Nichols just to his fancy, and he. too,
crushed one Of the Kids swifts into the
beachers. The fact Of the matter is, the
Senators had little trouble in hitting the
prince OF tWirlers In the early part Of
the contest, and In the first four innings
they batted him for q total of fourteen
hases-enOugh 10 win two games some
times, hut the superb fielding OF the
visitors prevented any chance for additional
scores.
DeMontreviEle and o'Brien put up the
incest sort OF ball, and they wed with
the same fielders on the other side Tom
TUCKER was earnest and aggressive, and
no doubt he would sooner have beat his
old co-piayers than accept the position Of
Commissioner OF the District Of Columbia.
His work was clean, his batting strong
and his voice loud and vigorous He
got too earnest, however, and Umpire
Emslie forced him to the bench.
Tenncv. the college graduate, put up u
record bre9 king base play He accepted
eighteen chances and some OF them were
not easy.
Bobby Lowe. agile, dociie and genteel,
covered a mile of territory and his work
was dean and precise. Bobby Allen, he
who disappeared from the diamond sew
eral years ago and who came 10 life
again this year, showed that he has not
forgotten any points in the game worth
remembering.
With the hope, no doubt, Of breaking
the spell which has fallen upon the Sena-
tors, Tom Brown took the first turn al
the bat. bat the change did no good. At
one time it seemed as though the Wag-
ncrites would win, built turned out other
wise, and the many cranks in the city
who are feminist the Orioles felt perfectly
satisfied
After Brown and Selbach went out in
the third DeMontreville smash edthe sphere
for single and MCGUIRE ripped the first
bail pitched to him over the fence in right
field, earning two runs
In the fourth there was succession
OF biffers and Nichols was toucned up
In a Lively manner. Abbey and Wrigley
singled, McJames went out, Brown hit
safely, and selbach made a fierce triple,
the latter scoring the fourth run on the
next out. That was the last one, as
the BeanYiIIe tEvirler caught his second
wInd and was invincible after that, al
though Mcclure made q three Dagger I'm
the seventh and Brown q double in the
ninth
KEcheds' horne-run hit sent Bergen, who
had been hit after having two strikes,
across the plate in the second
In rhe third Duffy and Stah1 walked
and Collins and Lowe singled, three runs
resulting.
SJahlts single. Browns error, and Col
