The New York Herald says of yesterdays
| game in New York with the Washingtons:
1t was whirlwind finish that the Giants
made of their game with the Washingtons
| at the Polo ground yesterday afternoon, for
| when they went in for their last inning the
| score stood four to two against them; yet
! they sent in the three runs necessary to
| win. and the few spectators who had re-
| manned to the end cheered them to the
echo.
| Doheny pitched for the Giants, and, while
| little unsteady at times, atoned for that
failing by making the hit that drove in the
winning run. weighing did the twirling for
| the Senators and was effective in every in
! ming but the last, when the Giants hit him
| safely three times, and couple of bases
| on balls did the rest
! "Arlie' Latham, the veteran Lacquer ap-
peared on the field as coacher for the Sen
| ators, but all his END man. quips rather
| tired the spectators. and his efforts to dis
| concert Doheny were utterly frutless. In
| the third inning he had to be pressed into
| service, because Padden, who disputed a
| decision of Mr.. Andrews, the assistant UNI
| pire, was sent to the bench.
The star play of the game was made by
| Gleason in the fourth, when he jumped up
! and with his left hand pulled down hot
| drive from Weyhing's bat.
| There were probably a thousand specta-
| tors present when the game started, and all
| rcioiced when they saw Gorgeous Davis
| had 50 far recovered from that Knockout"
| blow of Monday as to be able to play his
| position at short. And Davis was very
| much in the game, for he made a couple
| of cracking hits and tielded to perfection.
| The Senators scored in the opening in
| ming when, with two out, Cassidy drove the
| ball between Hartman and Davis and went
| around to third on Hulens rap over Will
| sons head. AS Hulen started to steal sec
ond Warner threw down to head him off
| but the throw was slow, and Cassidy got
| home. Two more runs fell Washington s
way in the second. Mcclure went to first
| on balls and TO second Gleason and Will
| son were disposing of Harry Davis. Then
| weighing went to first on balls, too, but
| Mcclure came home Hartman fell over
| Padden's rap and then threw badly to Will
son. Gleason took in Gettman's rap and
put him out at first and, while he and
| Wilson were running down Padden, Weyh
! ing scampered home. 1t in the fifth
| that the Senators made their last run.
| Latham, who had replaced Padden, hit
weakly TO Hartman and was easily thrown
| out. Gettman hit sharply past Hartman,
| stole second and scored Washington's last
| run on Cassidy's pretty whack over Davis
head.
| ninth inning. it never seemed though the
| Giants were in the game at ALL An error
| and hit gave them a run in the third, and
Davis two-bagger and Wilson's hit gave
them another in the sixth.
| Warner began New York's half of the
| ninth with fly to Cassidy. Gleason hit
| lightly to Latham and beat the throw to
| first. The sacks were filed when bases on
| balls We're given to OBrien and Grady,
who batted in Hartman's place, but Glea-
| son and OBrien ran home as Fosters rap
| shot past Hulen. On the fielding in of the
| ball Grady was caught on third but Fos-
| tel reached second and then scored the
| winning run Doheny made the ball skip
| between Latham and Hulen.
