The Senators degenerated into the lob
ster class at Baltimore yesterday, the
Orioles winning both games, the first by
the score of Il to ), and the second, to B.
The first game was parody on the ma
tional game, Mcfarland being hit hard
and then injured by thrown ball. which
necesA ated the substitution of two twirl-
ers. Rsa~lemoser being the second twirler
on the rubber, and then Freeman finished
the game. Rfddlemoser got away with
his first inning all right, but his second
turn on the rubber was disastrous, and
after one more endeavor to make good"
he was sent to the bench. Coupled up
with the poor pitching We're five misplays,
Coughlin and Bonner starting the trouble
in the early part of the game.
The second game was of the right sort,
weighing pitching splendidly after the first
inning and Coughlins error. which was
very costly, was the only mispiay of the
game. Howell also pitched well for Bal
umore and was given good support. The
Baltimore Herald has the following to say
OF the games:
The first game was started at o'clock.
From the very beginning the Birds began
to pound the ball all over the field, and
had the Senatorial aggregation on the run
all the time. Everybody got in the game
with hit two, that the play soon de-
VeloDed into farce
If the first game was notable for the
way in which the Baltimores swelled their
batting averages, the second game was
just the reverse. 1t proved to be a pitch
ers' contest, filed with that snappy,
brawny play the part of the Orioles
that has made them famous. There were
many critical situations during the game,
and the rooters were kept on edge all the
time. The boys played without a slip-up.
however and won out in a game in which
many an all-star aggregation would have
quit.
Manager McGraw opened the initial game
yesterday by sending the Senators to the
field. 1t turned out to be a wise move
on the part of the Oriole leader. for Nc
Farland was caught in a rush of base hits
that completely upset him and took all
the fight out of his comrades. Eleven men
faced the light-haired twirler before the
side had been retired. 1t soon DEVELOPED
into a farce in which three pitchers took
turns in keeping the Oriole batters busy.
McGinnity was in the box for the home
team and had the visitors at his mercy
In the fourth inning he let I'D and the
Senators tailed three runs. They drew
two more in the seventh through the big
twirier's kindness of heart. In the eighth
Mckenna was sent in to try his hand az
we'll to McGinnity for the hard
trip that is before him. The two innings
in which he officiated We're sufficient to
show that he has ability, if he is only given
chance to develop it.
The Second Game.
As in the first game the Orioles opened
Up the second contest with a rush Wey-
hing was touched up in a lively manner
and another batting matinee was looked
for. He settled down, however, after the
first onslaught and remained somewhat a
mystery for the rest of the game Howell.
