Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
P1TTSBuRG, Pa, May 30-Pittsburg and
Washington INDUCED In ten-inning argu-
ment before $500 people this morning. 1t
was an ideal day for base ball, and the
game was one of the most brilliantly, play
ed here this season.
Both teams seemed to be filed with triple
extract of ginger. and not q man on either
side overlooked play. The error by Ath-
erton in the tenth inning was an excusable
one, as the ball took bad bound Just as
the big fellow was preparing to caress It,
Bonners slip was an easy chance, but
1t did not do any damage. Ely made the
only mfsDlay chalked up against the
f1rates-a tumble of an easy grounder.
But these errors were scarcely noticeable
SO uniformly brilliant was the general work
o! the two teams throughout the ten in
uings.
Had not Mcfarland been injured in the
ninth inning the chances are the locals
would not have scored in the TENTH for
Mcfarland had been performing in way
tfat brought joy to the Wagnerian heart
at the same time spreading a cloak of
gloom over the hopes of the local fans.
With two out and two on bases in the
rfnth McCreery drove the ball on a line at
Mcfarland, who received it in the pit of his
stomach. While painfully hurt he held the
bail long enough to get put-out. Then he
sank to the ground, writbing in agony. He
was carried from the field and physician
summoned. 1t was learned that he was not
seriously injured. Baker pitched the tenth
inning.
Padden. Slagle and Atherton were the
bright particular stars of the Senatorial
side of the argument. while Williams played
a most remarkab bic game in every depart
ment. He was at bat five times and secur-
ed three singles and two doubles. He also
made three of the four runs scored by the
Pittsburgs.
Smith style. did good work at third base,
position he has not filled for two years.
while his hitting was very hard. Barry did
not have chance to show what he can do
as prominently as patrol wagon at a Sun
day school picnic. He is very fast on his
feet His two-bagger was timely affair.
Diamond Pin for Padden.
When Capt. Dick Padden came to the bat
in the fourth inning he was presented with
a gorgeous diamond pin by his former fell
low glassworkers of Martins Ferry, Ohio.
The crowd then asked Dick to strike out, in
accordance with custom. but he declined
Instead he hit to middle field for one base
Sagle opened the first inning with a
double over McCarthy's head. went to third
on Atherton's out. and scored when Bon
Eer was retired at first
After MCGUIRE and Freeman had been
retired in the second Padden drew base
on balls Mcfarland was safe on Ely's
tumble of his slow grounder. barry then
hit for two bases, sending Padden over the
plate Slagle tried to score Mcfarland, but
went out at first.
The Senators got their third and last run
in the third. which inning was pried open
by Atherton with q terrific line drive to
center. which netted him three bases. Bon
her was retired at first, but on Cassidy's
out at the same place Anterior crossed the
plate
Pttsburg made her first tally in the Sec
ond inning when Williams led off with a
single and went to second when Clarke
drew a base on balls. Schriver hunted and
beat the ball to first. Reitz forced Schriver
at second, Williams scoring. Not until the
sixth did the Pirates again get in the run
making stakes
Mcfarland seemed to have his opponents
at his mercy, and when McCreery, the first
man up In the sixth, famed the air. the
spectators sighed sadly. Williams, how
ever, bobbad up with a two-bagger, and
moment later scored on Clarkes single.
Clarke stole second, but Schriver flied to
Freeman. Rejtz then banged the ball to
right field for one base. sending in Clarke
with the tying run.
Thus matters stood until the last half of
the tenth inning, when Williams once more
came to the front with a warm single
Clarke reached first when Atherton fun
bled his slow bounder Schriver's sacrifice
advanced both men, and ReitZ drew base
on balls, filling the corners. Ely had d
strike on him when he smote the ball re-
sounding whack. sending it against Baker s
right foot, whence 1t caromed to left field
and the game over.
