Pitcher Eddie Doheny was the bright par
ticuar star of yesterdays Washington
New York game at National Park, which
the latter club won by to 3 This mild
hammered southpaw had perfect control
lots of speed and proved a puzzle to the
local batsmen. Hits We're pulled off by the
Senators in spots of one or two but in only
one instance did the hit necessary to drive
a run across the plate materialize. After
Mcclure and Mcfarland had been put out
in the fifth, Dick Padden hammered out
beauty along the left field foul line for two
bases and then Jimmy Slagle came to the
rescue with nice single that brought the
second baseman across the plate with a
run. This was the only time the Senators
gave signs of batting rally, but as it was
at a time when two players We're out, the
solitary tally was all that resulted.
IWirler Mcfarland pitched his first full
game for the Washington club and while
he was hit harder than Doheny it is
thought that he Will prove a valuable man

The New Yorks started off well at their

nice double in right center and Grady
pushed him to third on a single to left

OBriens wide throw to the plate and Do

to first. Gleason and Wilson followed with
singles and Van crossed the plate.
A little more careful play by Cassidy and
Mcfarland while on the bases, both being
npped by accurate throws of Grady and
Doheny, might have given the Senators a
fighting chance for the game, but their
faults can be overlooked on the plea of
being new men.
Following is the score:
