Record of the Clubs.

Had the game been called at the end of
the eighth inning at Brooklyn yesterday
the Washington team would have scored its
fourth victory of the season, the score then
being to 4 in favor of the visiting aggre-
cation. But, for some reason or other,
probably there was some justification for
it in the league rules and regulations, Um-
pires Snyder and Curry insisted on nine in
nings being played. That was just what the
Dodgers had been waiting for, and lney
proceeded to thump and bump Mr.. x.mole
while his friends were putting two of them
out until they had sent six men across the
plate. That was sufficient, the Washing
ton people having obtained run in the
ninth, and another defeat was chalked up
against them.
Dunn started in on the rubber for the
home team. and during the seven innings
he offciated the Senators secured fourteen
safeties, including two-bagger, one for
three bases and another by Wrigley for
four bags. These hits, with ali error or
two, gave the Washington push eight runs,
and then Barnie introduced Pitcher Miller,
and off him the Washington players made
one safety, which, with a base on balls and
d steal, yielded one run Then came the
deluge. This is the way the New York
Journal describes it:
Hereafter the game of May 6, 1898. at
Brooklyn should be recorded on the pages
of base ball history as the bOnnbardment of
Doc Anlole. In the final rally, with the
score 8 to 4 in favor of Washington, the
Dodgers broke bottle of acid so to speak,
on the southpaw, exposing an alleged gold
brick that Hanlon unloaded on Wagner. A
volley of six swats, including one triple and
a double. compassed the fall of AmOle, and
the locals drew off victorious by one run.
1T was a heart-hreaking game for the
Senators to lose. and several of the Dodgers
suffered last night with paipitation of the
heart.
Having pounded Jack Dunn off the slab
in seven rounds. the Senator's grew a bit
chesty. and chuckled at the futile efforts of
Brooklyn to land on the shorthand delivery
of AmCIe late of Baltimore, after the first
inning. But at the conclusion of the bonn
bardment not Senator had a word to say.
The visitors kept up steady fire on
Dunn, scoring eight tallies, with fourteen
hits and a few timely errors. Young Miller,
who relieved Dunn. was effective in the two
innings he pitched, allowing but one hit
and striking out couple of batsmen.
broadway Alex Smith and his new gold
tooth put in a busy day. Besides getting
hit on the feet several times. Alex had ten
chances, and in the spectacular last round
the catcher drove in three runs with a
frightful smash to the palings in center
field.
"Barnie's men opened well. scoring two
runs in the first on trio of hits. There
after they failed to connect with men on
bases until the final rally. Sheckard lefl
with a single, but was forced at second by
Shindle. The crowd made ready to leave,
thinking the game was as good as finished,
but when Tucker and Halman tore off hits
that filled the circuit the grief-stricken
fans sat down again.
six tallies We're needed to win. and the
terrific swipe of A. Smith sent in three of
them. The crowd shrieked when Shindie,
Tucker and Hallman galloped home. Broad
way Alex paused at third to overhaul his
wind. Anderson was sent to bat for Miller.
He rolled one to Amoie and perished at
first. but Smith scored on the play. Griffin
dropped the ball in the mud in right for one
base and Jones walked. Then came La
Chance with double close TO the right
foul line. Griffin and Jones tailed and it
was all over. Two games will be played to-
day" Score:
