1t was a dead heat between the Senators
and the Cleveland Injuns yesterday, Pre-
siding Judge Emslie declaring the race off
at the close of the eleventh heat because of
darkness. Each team had then two heats
to it's credit, neither having been able in
the other nine to finish in front. Cy Young
piloted the visitors, and Dineen performed
the same service for the home team during
the first nine heats, but in the tenth Act
ing Manager Farrell put Winnie Mercer in
the saddle, but the best Winnie could do
was to make it dead heat IN the eleventh.
The Washington team Won the first two
heats rather easily, but after running side
by side during the next two. it dropped
back two points in the fifth, and so it re-
manned. 80
A new first baseman. in the person of
Fields, the crack baseman of the Eastern
League, made his first appearance in the
uniform of a Senator. He is tall and
spare, and played the initial bag without an
error, having eleven put-outs. He was at
the bat five times, obtaining two hits, and
scoring one of the two runs made by his
side. He made a very favorable impress
sion. During the eleven innings but five
errors Were made, three being charged up
against the Senators. Wagner was the
chief offender, two of the Washington mis-
plays going against him, one of which,
high throw in the fifth to catch thinner at
bic for the runs made by the visiting
braves. Mexican and thinner were the cul-
prits on the other side, the former allowing
q grounder from Setback to slip through
him, on which Selbach reached second in
the first inning. and in the second thinner
threw to second on Fields steal when no
one was there, the new man reaching third.
Each misplay resulted in run.
Another feature of the contest was Tom
kinslow's return to the game. In the
tenth inning Blake popped high foul,
which in descending struck Mcclure en-
the nose and put him out Of the game.
Kinslow, who had been practicing with
the Senators for some time, took his place,
and was warmly greeted. He had but
one chance, which he accepted, and in
his single appearance at the bat sent
fly to left which Burkett captured after a
hard run. Another feature OF the game
was the fact that the visitors had fifteen
men left on bases, the steadiness of Di-
neen a. critical points and the fine sup
port of the men behind him preventing
the men from crossing the plate. Dincen
gave five passes and struck out four men,
Cy Young was even more steady, giving
but one pass, and that by direction of
Tebeau, when Selbach came to the bat
in the tenth inning with a man third
and two out. Patsy rightly believing Wag-
ncr to be much easier than the Baron.
In the first inning Selbdch sent A ground
er to Mexican wnfcn the big shortstop
allowed to slip by him, Selbach reaching
second on the error. He stole third and
scored on Wagners out at first from Wal
lace. The Senators also got run in the
next inning. Fields beat bunt to Young
and, when Z.mmer threw past second on
Gettman's strike out, kept on to third,
scoring on Wrigley' s Ilys L, 5McAIeer., 3.ssa
