Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1898-08-12

was traded by the Washington manage
ment for Charley Farrell five years ago,
being given quite an enthusiastic reception
as he took his place on the rubber IN
senatorial uniform. In the first game the
New York men won because they outbatted
their friends almost two to one, and it was
superior hitting which gave the home peo-
pie the victory in the second. Seymour WaS
wild, but while he gave nine passes, he also
placed as many strike-outs to his credit,
and his ability in the latter work was most
pronounced when hits, were needed by his
opponents. ~
In the first inning of the first game Din
cen gave three of his four passes, two runs
resulting, and three runs scored by the
Senators in this game awere made by men
to whom passes had been presented. Killen
made a most favorable impression, striking
cut three men and giving as many passes,
and keeping the eight hits secured off him
well scattered, so that In but two innings,
the sixth and eighth, were more than one
hit made by the Giants. In the fifth inning
of the first contest Tom brown, the ex-
manager Of the Washington team, made
his first appearance here in the uniform of
Uncle Nick Youngs staff of arbitrators,
and was pleasantly welcomed by the crowd,
as was the former king of umpires," John
Gaffney, also an eX-manager Of the Wash
ingtons, when he took his place behind the
plate in the second game. Jud. Smith also
made his debut here, and while he had but
six chances in the days play, accepted
them, scoring a run in the first contest and
making two hits out Of four times at the
bat in the second.
Van Haltren and Herman were presented
with passes in the first inning Of the open
ing game, and on double steal Mcclure
threw over Smiths reach, Van Haltren
scoring and Mike going to third, whence he
scored on Joyce's unsuccessful steal of sec
ond, Scrappy having also received pass

inning. Van Haltren singled past first and
Joyce placed a single in left, the two men
moving up base on Selbach's tumble, and
each scored on Davis single TO center

after placing single in right, was caught
in an attempt to purloin second. Reitz sin
gled to left and took third on Smiths Sill
gle to right. Smith then started for sec
ond and Warner foolishly threw to Davis,
when ne could have captured Reitz easily
on the latter's run-home. Gettman was
given pass, and Killen filled the bases
with slow one to Gleason, who fumbled
1t. On Hartman's tumble Of Selbach's hit

constituent of the Spectators, Gaffney de-
c!ared Wagner, who had struck at the
pitched ball, out for interference

Ing inning, because of Anderson's slow
ness IN working his gray matter. Andy

nit to third he started for third, when
Hartman and Davis caught him between
them. While lodging them Farrell took
second. But Anderson, instead of allow
ing himself to be caught off the bag, ran
back to it, when Gleason touched Farrell
out, and then Anderson, when the latter
left the bag in the confusion.
