The times., 1899-10-15

The Senators made 3 Garrison finish OF
The last game OF the season. Il was one Of
those happenings that occur at rare inter
walls. At the end OF the fifth inning the
locals had not scored a run and had made
but one hit, while the Giants were basking
IN each others smiles with eleven hits and
nine juicy runs stored away IN the bat bag.
OF course the outlook was hopeless and
many fans left the park n disgust. The
Giants were hitting McFarlan when and
where they pleased and the only question
seemed to be as 20 how large score they
would accumulate. Yet one OF those un-
expected things which is Of such frequent
occurrence at ball games, and which comes
AZ the most opportune or inopportune
times, as the case may be, broke forth in
gorgeous splendor, from Senatorial stand
point, and the whole result was changed
before the spectators could realize what
had happened. In the sixth, seventh, and
eighth innings the Senators got onto Get
tig's curves and they hit like hends, and
ran bases like scared jackrabbits. And
when the dust had settled it was found
that twelve runs had gone over the plate.
giving them the game by a majority of
three. This was not only an unexpected
victory but glorious wind-up Of the sea-
sons play.
Each member OF the Senatorial aggrega-
tion got hit and each & run. except Free
man and O'Brien, Mercer getting three,
Slagle, echeibeck, and MCCAIN getting two
each. This batting rally completely de-
moralized the New Workers. After the
fifth inning they only made three scratch
hits, which availed them nothing. 1t was
expected that Freeman would celebrate the
occasion with winding-up home run hit,
but Getting gave him no opportunity, as
be kept the ball away from the end Of
MS bat. yet he did make one long hit 10
centre. which Fleming cleverly handled.
II the second inning the Giants took
McFarlan's accurate measure and balled
him al over the lot, scoring six runs on q
homer by T. O'Brien and three singles by
Gleason, Wilson, and Foster. This for
midable advantage took the wind out of
the Senatorial sails, and they played with
little zeal and energy until the change
came in the sixth. The Giants kept up
their good work in the third, and with
two hits, aided by an error, they scored
two more runs. In the fourth they pulled
on another on two hits and two outs. This
cluded to occupy the centre OF the stage for
few innings In the sixth with two out
Scheibeck went TO first on errors, and was
advanced by Mercer and scored on Nc
Cams single. McGann stole second, and
with Mercer crossed the plate on Free
mans single. These three runs put little
life into the team, and they went 10 the
bat in the seventh inning with q deter
mined air that boded trouble for the visi-
tors Barry, the first man up, swatted the
sphere on the trade mark TO the hospital
fence for three bases, Powers few out TO
Davis, McFarlan singled. scoring Barry,
Slagle walked, Scheibeck hit a beauty TO

work and lined a single out over Glea-
sons head, scoring Slagie- McGann took

drove Mercer and McGann IN on a single
70 left and was Jeff at third. This tied the
score. The visitors were blanked IN the
next three innings. The Senator's elutched
their victory in the eighth. Powers bunt-
ed beautifully, McFarlan sacrificed, S.agle
doubled, scoring Powers; Scheibeck walk
ed, and was forced by Mercer, Slagie seor-
ing. Mercer stole second and came home
on McGann's single. The game was called
al the end OF the eighth, and thus ended
the seasons ball games, SO far as the Ma
tional League is concerned. A team OF

Monday by special arrangements. The
