Record of the Clubs,

The Senators and the New York Giants
commenced yesterday their last series on
the local grounds. and, while the home team
Won by score OF u to l. the game deveI-
oped in the seventh inning into an exhibit
ton as dtsgraceful as it was disgusting to
those who have the best interests of the ma
uonal game at heart. 1t was another exam
pie of that rowdysm which, according to
the best accounts, has about killed the
game in New York city, and of which the
New York team, as conducted by Mr. Bill
joyce. appears to be the sole exponent
Certainly no one but Joyce was responsible
yesterday, but he was ably assisted by his
men.
Cy Seymour who during the first two in
n1ngs seemed invncible, was jumped upon
by 1rwin's men in the third, when he was
touched up for four hits three runs result
ing on the hits and pass. In the following
inning five men scored on three singles a
pass and Selbachs homer when the bases
were filled. Gatans' double. Wrigley's sacr-
flee and McGuireS out at first sent one more
Senator home in the fifth inning, and in the
sixth safe bunts by Baker and Mercer Sey-
mour's wild throw and a pass gave the Sem
ators three more runs. Up to this inning
the Giants had made but one hit off Baker
whose pitching improves from game to
game but on Gettig's single to left Van
Haltren's out at first and Davis single to
center the New Workers scored their only
run. During the inning Warner hit to Carr
who threw to Baker. Umpire Connolly de-
clared Warner out, whereupon the latter
questioned the decision in such insulting
language that Connolly put him out of the
game
When the Giants took the field in the next
inning Warner attempted to take his place
behind the plate but Mr.. Connolly was
firm and compelled him to retire. Then
Joyce and his men gathered about the UNI
pire and, by bulidozing tactics, vainly at
tempted to force him 10 recall his decision
as to Warner. Joyce apparently was at a
loss just what to do. Ii could be plainly
seen that he had little, if any command
over his men, who wrangled among them
selves as to what positions they should fill
during the inning Seymour insisted upon
playing catcher and Gleason first and Davis
upon hl1lng the rubber. Finally. after much
wrangling and not until Umpire Snyder
had threatened to declare the game for
feited to the Senators, did Joyce and his
men go ahead. Then ii was seen that Get
tg was behind the plate, Seymour on the
rubber, Gleason at first. Doyle second
Van Haltren at short, Joyce In right. Do
heny on third Seymour merely lobbed the
balls in, and the men behind cCntented
themselves with throwing the ball at them
selves and at the Washington men.
Manager Irwin Indignantly dema nded of
Umpire Snyder that he either put an end
to the disgusting exhibition or compel the
New Workers TO play ball. excaiming amid
the cheers of the crowd, that unless he did
so he would place himself on a level with
the would-be comedians from New York.
Snyder endured the disgraceful exhibition
for several minutes, the crowd meantime
kissing and hooting at the visitors and de-
handing that the game be called, and then
he recognized the demands of Manager Ir-
win and the crowd, the New Workers Ieav-
ing the field amid the jeers of the specta-
tors, Score:
