CURRENT SPORTING NOTES

Those who went to the base ball grounds
yesterday afternoon, and there were 200
of them, witnessed about as pretty a COLI
test as has been played here for many
moons What was still more satisfactory
to the crowd, was that victory percned an
the Senatorial banner in extra-inning
game, the Orioles dying gameIy, however.
The heroes of the game were Gus Wey-
hing and Bridegroom Anderson. weighing
pitched another of his masierly games,
holding the hard-hitting birds down to
seven hits, one of them being a scratch
double, and giving but one pass in the ten
innings. In the words of Manager Hanlon
of the visiting team, Gus yesterday was
even better than he was years ago when
he was the leading twirler of the Associa-
ton, and easily demonstrated that he is
today not only the best pit cher on the
Washington team. but also the equal of the
best in the League. He used speed send
ing in now and then a slow one and at crit
ical points in the game, and there were
many of them, gave a fine exhibition of
nerve and steadinesS. He was well support
ed by the men behind him, neither of My
ers' two errors nor that of Selbach figuring
in the accomplishment of the lone run Sc
cured by the oyStermen.
Anderson again demonstrated that he is
one of the best and most reliable of emer-
sency hitters in the League. About every
one present expected that beautiful silver
tea service presented to him as he went to
tat in the first inning would prove his hoo
doc 1t did not however, and after Sailor
Wrigiey had made a neat little presentation

teams, informing the smiling and biushing
bridegroom that the handsome wedding gift
represented the esteem and good wishes of
his fellow players, the big fielder went to

Not another run was scored by either side
until the eighth inning. when the visitors
tied the game Several times prior to that
inning, however, particularly in the sew
enth. It seemed IMPOSSIBLE to prevent them
from scoring. In that inning Selbach drop

Oriole up, and Holmes sacrifice placed him
on second. He was caught mapping by

man of the Orioles, ended the suspense by
popping up little fly to Reitz. In the next
inning Robinson sent fly which dropped
between Selbach and Wrigley, the captain
OF the Baltimore team, reaching second on
his scratch hit. On MeJames' bunt Wey-
hihs threw to third to catch Robbie but
just failed, the tieingg run coming on Jen-

Neither side scored in the ninth inning

tors in the tenth, went out at first on a
grounder to De Montreville. Weyhing was
also an easy out, but Selbach sent hot
one at McGann, whose throw was muffed
by McJames. Gettman then sent a bound
ing one to Jennings, who was kind enough
to tumble 1t, and with first and second oc-
cupied and two out, Anderson walked to
the bat. He had a strike against him when
he hit terrific one down the left-field line.
