The senatorial aggregation were never at
ary stage where they might be considered
dangerous in yesterdays game in Phila-
deiphia, and after the big lead of six runs
had been gained in the first two innings the
contest degenerated into one little calcu-
lated to arouse enthusiasm. Interest was,
however maintained by the hard hitting of
the Phillies. Everybody got hit, with the
exception of Cooley and Lauder, ard the
four errors charged against them were not
of an objectionable nature.
Young Dineen esSayed the box honors for
the 1rwinites, but ne was clearly in Door
form, and was raped in lively fashion dur
ing the two innings in which he officiated
on the slab. Two two-baggers and six sin
giles yielded seven runs and the game.
Baker replaced Dineen in the third inning
and did fairly well. He used slow bali,
Which was very deceiying to the Phillies,
holding them down to three hits in the sue
ceeding five innings. In the eighth, how
ever, the last which the Quakers had a the
bat, his delivery was solved, and he was
touched up in lively fashion.
While not marked by especially brilliant
fielding, there was nevertheless good work
done on both sides, that OF Lauder. Della
hanty, Mcfarland. Casey and Farrell being
worthy of mention.
How Washington Scored.
The Washingtons went first to the bat,

passed ball. and scored on Davis tw0-bag-
ger to center. The six succeeding innings
were blanks, but two more runs were gath
cred in the eighth. Hulen opened with
a pretty single to right. Latham, who bat
ted for O'Brien, was safe OH Cross bad
tumble. Both men advanced a base on Ia
Wis out, Lajoie to Thomas, and scored on
the latter's muff of Cross throw Wash

to steal second. Mcfarland threw to La
joie, but the latter fell down before the ball
reached him, allowing it to roll into center
field. Farrell reached third, and crossed
the plate on Padden's fly to Deiahanty.
PhilIies Took the Lead.
The Phillies opened up the game for
keeps, Cooley being safe on Casey's bad
throw. He afterward stole second. Thomas
singled to left and stole second. Del tap

but the latter was run down between first
and second. Thomas Tailed on Lajoe's hit

tWo-hagger. Cross drew base on balls
Piatt bunted directely into Dineen's hands,
but the latter threw wild. Mac scoring and
Piatt taking second. After Cooley had
tanned the wind Thomas made a two-bag-
ger to center scoring Cross and Piart. Del

similar effort by Lajoie brought in Della

agony. Cross and Piatt both singled, Cooley

hit. DePs hit to left scored Piatt and
Cross, and Fiick's singles did the same fo1
Thomas. The score:
