who misjudged Leach's fly, two runs cross
ing the plate on the hit that followed and
o'Brien's mun OF q fly hit by Wagner
This muh was excusable as the sun inter
fered with the fielder. Weyhing was in the
box for the Senators and the new catcher.
Powers. was the backstOp. He showed up
IN splendid form, giving a beautiful exhi-
bition, and making TWO hits, one a double
Fred Clarke sent Cunningham to the rub
Der, who was supported behind the bat by
Messitt, a new recruit, who was not a
startling success. Cunningham was in fine
fettle and held the Senators down to six
hits
The colonels put up splendid exhibition
OF bail playing. They were particularly
fast on the bases, and every misplay OF the
Senators was promptly taken advantage of.
Honors were easy so far as the pitching
was concerned weighing did some dumb
base running, which contributed 10 his de-
feat. Mercer was badly injured by running
against one Of the private boxes of the
grand stand for foul fly, which he cap
tured al the expense OF a badly injured
knee and arm, which may keep him out of
the game for several days
The Colonels scored two runs In the
first inning on a single by Clarke and a
two-bagger by Leach, which Freeman mis-
judged, and q single by Wagner. They
scored TWO in the sixth on base on balls
by Clarke. Leachs out, q two-bagger by
Wagner, Ritcheys fly 70 Slagie, and Kel-
ly's hit. scoring Clarke and Wagner. The
Senators failed 10 score until the fifth, al
though they had one or two good chances
to win the game by timely hit Padden
walked and was advanced by SIafford's sac
rifce, and scored on Powers daisy-cutter
for two bases Powers being left al third.
But two hits were made OF Cunningham
after the fifth inning.
The second game was another hard one
for the Senators. who had 10 stack up
against Rube Naddeil, one of the most
deceptive southpaw artists they have con-
fronied this season He is a big. husky
fellow, with the speed OF a cyclone and
curves that are extremely puzzling. The
Irwinites managed 10 nit him safely siA
times, but not opportunely. 1t is COIN
cidence that each team made six hits il
each game. Another accident befell the
team in this game Barry. who had sue
ceeded Mercer, had a finger knocked out
OF joint and retired, Fifeld taking his
place. The latter surprised the boys By
