Ihe Senators took the Orioles into camp
after ten-inning struggle yesterday after
noon by the score of to 3. The credit of
the victory belongs to Mercer, for he
pitched q game that was as nearly pei feet
rs games get TO be. In only two innings
did the visitors score, and in only one was
fhe fault Mercer's. He clearly out-pitched
McGinnity, the ranchero from the wilds of
Oklahoma who has this season fooled the
best batters of the League with his pecu-
lisr underhand delivery. McGinnity was
not only touched up for ten safeties, bus he
assisted In losing his own game by giving
six bases on balls, hitting two batsmen,
snd making the two errors charged asa INST
his team.

although the error made by Padden in the
seventh was what caused the game to be
stretched into an extra inning contest. BY

Chaace went on home. This tied the
score, and no more runs crossed the plate

catches in left field. and all of them were

Injury was alleviated by the cheering he
Received for the play.
Glagle also performed yeoman service in
The outfeld. Seven OF the thirty put-outs
were made by him. and he retired the first
and last man OF the Baltimores. Freeman
Seized the opportunity TO distinguish him
self and made a catch which, if he had
Jet the bail gone by, would have been q
bone run, and would have won the game
for the visitors in the ninth inning. Bon
