The Washington team lost yesterday s
game with the Phillies, but the large crowd
present left the grounds satisfied with hav-
ing witnessed well-played game, with
heavy hitting on both sides. Amoie pitch
ed for the locals and Wheeler for the Wis
tors, the former being hit safely fourteen
times and the latter eleven times. The
hits of the Phillies. however, were more
opportune, and the two passes Amole gave
in the first inning really defeated his team,
for both men receiving them scored on sim
giles by Lajoie and Thompson, although it
seemed that Wrigley should have been able
to have stopped the Gaseous hit. Bad luck
also played a more or less prominent part
in the defeat Of the home club Cooley in
center and Delehanty in left capturing nine
long flies between them. one or two of
which would. with little good luck on the
part of the Washingtons, have landed safe
ly and have given them the game The
coaching of Manager Brown was again
open to criticism the overrunning of sec
ond by Gettman and the failure of Amole
to run out batted ball being prominent
features of the paSsiveneSS of the coaching
manager. Not an attempt was made by a
Washington player to steal second, outside
of Gettman and Reitz, who were successful
in the matter. Catcher Mcfarland of the
Phillies not having an assist to his credit
during the nine innings. The fielding on
both sides at times of a brilliant char
acter, the stop by ReitZ of Cross grounder
in the third inning and his reaching of first
before the runner being the prettiest play
seen here for long time. The work of
Wrigley was also Of u brilliant kind. Wag
ner replaced Leahy at third, having but
two chances. which he accepted in good
style. His stop of Douglas hot grourder
prevented the batsman gaining more than
one base. and came within fraction of
developing into an out at first. McHale in
center captured five long flies. and his error
was of the excusable kind. the ball slipping
out of his hand in attempting to return it
to second. Setback had but two chances
in left which he cared for, but made one
misplay in allowing a ball to get past him
in the ninth. the batsman. Delehanty. max
ing second on it. from which point Lajoie
sent him by a hot one over second The
baron. however. seemed to have recovered
his hitting form leading his side in bat
ting. with two doubles and a single.
After scoring two in the first, the Phil
three-bagger over the sign in left field and
Cross out at first. In the fourth McFar-
land singled 10 left going to second on
Wheeler's out at first, third on McHale 3
bad throw and home on Douglas single
over third which Wagner stopped in fine
style. Thompson hit to left for three bases
in the next inning. going home on Cross
fly to McHale. The locals scored one in the
first en- Selbach's two-bagger to left and
McHales single over second. Their second
run came in the third Selbach's hit to
the left field fence for two bases and
Doyie's single to left. They got.two more
in the sixth, Doyle hitting to left for one
base. going to third on McGuires two
bagger to right center. Wagner's out at
first and ReitZ's long fly to center sent both
men in. Dinneen is expected to pitch to-
day for the home team and Donohue for
the Phillies. Score:
