The game yesterday between the Sena-
tors and the Chicago Orphans resulted in
a victory for the visitors after about as
nlserably played contest as has ever been
witnessed here. The game was in har-
mony with the weather which was as dis
agreeable as could well have neeu man
ufactured. Each team was guilty of many
errors, those of the Washington men being
in the majority. Their hits, however, were
not, but five being made off Matte Kilroy,
who made his first appearance here since
member of the local team in 1892 and
pitched such ball as will win from about
any team In the league. Mercer occupied
the rubber for the home people, and was
connected with for nine hits, several of
which would have been outs had the men
back of him exercised to any great extent
their mental and physical powers. It was
a game, too, in which plays of the most
brilliant character came side by side with
plays of the yeilowest kind and during the
latter part of the contest it. was an open
question which side could make the more
of the latter variety.
A stiff wind, almost a gale at times
swept across the field. chilling the small
humber of persons present and apparently
benuTnbing the players, and many of the
hits which seemed when they left the bat
destined for long safeties were stepped ty
the wind and fell in the hands of the play
ers- There was some luck liz this feature
of the game. but ii appeared to be all on
the side of the visitors. Dahlen, although
charged with two errors, played a remark
able game, several of his stops and throws
rObb3ng the Senators of seemingly safe
hits Wrigley also played in in and ouI
game. having twelve chances, but slipping
up three times. Wagner in center field
again demonstrated that he will hardly fill
the bill there, and Anderson on first was
far from good. The fielding of Sebach ana
Gettman was excellent as was that of
Reitz, they and Mcclure being the only
Senators who played perfectly.
