been working during the winter in his I'M

start association with the departed has
sort o lost his cleverness in locating real
live hits. So when several were pushed
down toward the territory over which he
presided he did not Immediately recognize
them and instead of instantly Brasping
them as old friends he gave an exhibition

OF many of the occupants OF the bleach

Vicious accuracy, and in other ways is an

Catcher Robinson was prominent in the
game. His throwing was as good rs ever,
while his eye has lost none OF its cunning,
for he hit the ball hard, and on one oc-
casion safely. McGinnity, who has the
reputation of being the best pitcher in the
league. showed up in good form. His up
ball. perhaps, was his most effective de-
after 4 while. and lambasted it at viii.
Donlin, at second, put up rafting good
article of ball, and his fielding was of the
gilt edge variety.
When the Washington men ran out to
their positions, preparatory to the COM

crowd cheered. Mr. John McGraw, yclept
.'Muggsy" by his admirers, was the first
of the Maryland cohorts to grasp wagon

up the doughty third bagman gave
rude rap on the seam, and sent it cutting
through the infield. leaving a streak of
singed sod in its wake, and, on, on, to the
nrst precinct. The crowd could not fol-
low the kissing sphere, but when 1t got
somewhere near big Everett. he was seen
to do cross between a serpentine dance
and handspring, and in "A second he was
chasing for his base, as If for dear life,
and with the ball firmly grasped in his
uitten. He reached the bag step IN
advance of the feet McGraw, and for the
first time in some little space of time the
spectators dared to breathe a wild WhOop

ing of the McGraw hopes. Donlin hit
an easy one to Quinn, who got the ball to
Everett in plenty of time to retire the
Oriole. After he had mad two balls called
on him. and had missed two strikes at
the leather Williams lifted the sphere
over the heads of the infielder. and by
the time it was returned. the Baltimore
second baseman was safely ensconsed on
the initial pillow. keister picked out one
TO his liking, and sent II sailing over
Quinn's head. Then Seymour hit to Quinn,
who was careless enough to tumble the
ball while the runner planted himself
on EVerett's stamping ground. and WI
liams cantered home, with the first run
of the game.
There was not much of howl from the
local cranks at this period and the silence
that prevailed was of the variety usually
described as ominous. However, further
getting was prevented by Carr1ck
keeping the ball away from Jacksons
stick while he endeaYored to take a
vicious whack at it,
The Washingtons did nothing in the line
of run getting until the second inning,
when Clingman knocked beautiful one,
tantalizingly near to both Foutz and VIII
liams. but just beyond their reach. Cough
lin made the acquaintance Of one OF Nc
Ginnity's choicest up shoots and landed
on il with ali his strength, and as the
ball was making Roadway for the vacant
lot beyond the left field fence the crowd
cheered Justify until the umpire decided
IL a foul. and then the third baseman was
requested to do IL some more. He con-
tented himself, however, with showing a
slow one down TO McGinnity, who felded
IL to Foutz In good season to head of
Coughlin, but not until Clingman had
reached second. Clarke struck out mo-
ment later, and for the time il looked dark
for the home team sending man across
up, and most twirlers are poor hit
tiers, no one looked to the local pitcher
TO he an exception. But he proved to be,
for he swatted the little spheroid sduarely
and lifted il to centre, out of harms way,
while Clingman brought home a tally and
a large chunk of cheer TO the rooters, and
for a moment so nothing was too good
for the little pitcher. Farrell gave the
crowd a chance to keep up the yells of
encouragement by rapping out another
safe hit. and IL looked as If the Senators
would pass the Orioles, but Eve rett could
not get his hit past McGinnity. The score
was now even. and the spectators felt
much pleased thereat.
Again In the sixth inning the Washing
tons increased their score and passed the
Baltimores by Farrells hit and steal and
EVeretts corking two Dagger. Another
run resulted In the next inning when Nc
Ginnity presented Quinn with a compli-
mentary for the first bag. Clingman then
hit 10 the visiting twirlcr. who cut down
Quinn at second. Clingman had no diff

Clarke sent Scorcher out to the centre

took a hand at the hitting. He was ad-
yanced to third on Keisters out to Dun
gan. and scored on Seymour's long drive
to Farrell.
The Senators increased their lead by
two additional runs in the lucky seventh,
after the crowd had stretched" lust for
luck. This Is the way they did 1t: Farrell
