1t was the most interesting of the three
games of the series, and the Browns
gave the home team a big run for their
money in the last innings of the contest
However. the genius of baseball turned
his back upon the redoubtable Tim and
his antediluvian top-piece, Tom Tucker
'muffed the ball, and one or two other
things happened, with the result that the
Senators have another victory to their
credit and the Browns have something
else TO apologize for.
After the game had been under way for
fifteen minutes, no one doubted that
Washington would win. There was a
something about their work that was fast
and they played as though ]. Earl already
had congratulated them upon their win

Dineen was on the rubber for the home
team. and he pitched steady game.
The visitors were not able TO fatten their
batting averages at his expense, TO any
great extent.
Taylor, for the Browns, pitched well,
after the first few innings, and it looked
at one time as though there would be no
more singles made off him. His support
was rather ragged. The St Louis club is
notorious for possessing individual talent
without getting any team work out of
ha ,t g+-
ton yesterday.
In the ninth inning, with the score tied
and one man out, Tommy Tucker fum-
bled Cross's throw on McGuire's grounder
and Rietz scored. Mercer hit an easy
one, beating It out, and Anderson tailed
Farrell came home on Smiths hit. But
the game was lost to st. Louis.
Tommy" Tucker was the life OF the
game. His coaching was a feature Mer-
Ger was ordered by O'Day to stay away
from the coaching lines in the sixth inning,
and in the next half of the inning Tom

Mercer ever thought of making. address,
ing himself to the batter when there was
no one on base. ODay ordered him to
keep quiet, when Tommy" turned to the
grandstand and, under the pretext of
coaching an imaginary player there, kept
up his yelling until O'Day insisted that
he stay away from the lines.
Selbach met with a painful accident
in the first inning. He singled TO left
field, and went down to second on RietZ's
hit, being forced at the bag. Just as he
reached the base his left foot turned

heap. His left ankle was found to be

the grounds Donovan taking his place.
Tommy Kinslow who had been
signed by the willy Timothy during the
interim between Wednesdays game and
the seance of yesterday, was the back
stop for the visitors. He still wore his
! hybrid Senatorial togs. His throwing TO
second was of the catapult order and he
played a strong game.
