Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1898-05-18

the game, all De1n8 done Wnlle Out one man
was being retired. Seymour was the
twirler for the home club in the second
game, and while he gave five passes, he
kept the hits well scattered except in the
first inning, when four hits. two passes and
a couple Of errors gave the visitors five
runs. The two games are thus described
by the New York Herald:
Neither team did any scoring in the first
inning, but an accident happened to Davis
that forced him to leave the game. Sell
bach was on second, and Rusie snapped the
ball down to Davis to catch him mapping.
Davis caught the ball and also caught Sell
bach, but the ball split his finger. and when
the inning concluded Gettig took his place.
Thus 1t happens the Giants started on
their western trip with their star short
stop disabled.
In the second inning Washington made q
couple of runs.
Mcclure dropped a fly between Van Hal
tren and Wilmot. and after Gleason had
taken Browns fly Wagner sent him to
third with liner that Gettig couldn't
reach. Then Reitz made the bali hop past
Joyce, so that Mcclure scored, and after
Rusie had struck out Wrigley, Swain
brought Wagner In with pretty liner out
to left center.
But in their half Of the third inning the
Giants saw these two runs and went
them" two better.
Van Haltren hit the ball so viciously that
Reitz couldn't stop it. and Van Haltren
kept on to second. Swain and Doyle took
care of Herman and the rap he sent down
the diamond; and, while they were doing
so, Van Haltren went to third and scored
as Joyce's rap eluded Wagner's fingers.
Gettig brought Joyce in with liner over
Reitzs head.
Gleason reached first because his rap was
too warm for Swain to handle. Hartman
sent a fly out to right center that brought
Gettig in, and Gleason came in while Wrig-
ley and Doyle were disposing of wilmot
BY more good hitting the Giants made a
run in the fourth and another in the
seventh.
The Senators made their third and last
run in the eighth, when Mcclure sent the
ball whipping out to left center for two
bases, went to third on a wild pitch and
scored as Herman closed on Wagner's fly
The Giants, with the aid of a couple of
nits, couple of bases on balls and an err
ror, made three runs in their half of the
inning, but didn't need them
Story of the Second Game.
SO the Giants took the first game, and,
after short rest went in for the second
one, with Seymour and Grady to do their
battery work, while Dineen and Farrell Off
ciated in similar capacity for the Sena-
tors. AT the time the spectators had in
creased to 5000 in number.
RMS proved to be hard game, and the
GlantS seemed to have lost it in the fret
inning. Seymour was rather wild and lib
eral with bases on balls. Then the Senators
mt MIN pretty freely; there was some loose
nelding, and the result of this combination
or circumstances was five runs for MASH
ington as a starter
similar combination of circumstances
heiped the Giants to make three runs in
their half of the inning -
Grady, VINO caught for New York, disput-
ca some OF Umpire Lynch's rulings on the
pals ne called on Seymour, and the umpire
put him out of the game
manager Brown substituted Amole for Di
neen in the second inning and Cantaip
Joyce sent Warner in in Gradv's Mace
IN the third inning two more runs fell
Wasnlnstons way, due largely to Sew
nnour pitchlnS, and in the fourth another
run crossed the plate for them, the result
OF a couple of hits.
1t was to.3 in Washington's favor when
.ne Giants went in for their half Of the
but they did.
The Giants hit Mr. Amole quite freely.
Mr.. Amole was liberal with bases on Lads:
some fielding errors crept in between. and
New York made three runs
In the eighth Washington scored one run
ana IN the ninth another, so that. when the
GIANTS went in for their last inning they
had to make four to tie and five to win.
They made five, and while they were max
ing them the 5000 spectators did nothing
but cheer and applaud the whole time.
1T was all very eXhilaratng
Here how the five runs were made:
Gettg went to first balls. Gleason
sent MIN to third with a line drive to left
N"eSi 1Ae1i eiioii SSiil ttieUl DOln III with
liner ever second, and then there was great
cheering
Wilmot helped Hartman along with a fly
70 snort right, and then, after WrisIey had
taken Warmers fly, Seymour popped !, linar
over Wrigieys head, and the bases We're
filled.
This SO annerved Mr.. Amole that he hit
van Haltren with a pitched ball. Van Hal
tren went to first and Hartman came home
Wlimot was on third base with the tieing
run, and Seymour on second with the WIN
ming run.
There was only one out, and Herman at
the bat. The right man in the right place
for he smashed the ball on line out to left
center. and as Seymour chased Wimot
around to home base people cheeied the
Giants heartily, for they had won the game
with a ''whirlwind finish.'' indeed.
