The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1901-05-03

| Keister followed his predecessors exam
( pie with another hit good for two sacks,
( and as Williams crossed the plate the
! faces OF the fans became clouded like
| the sky.
They thought they saw the beginning
/ of the end when Seymour was retired NJ
I the initial bag but the impression was
/ diSpeiled when jackson drew a single,
( which scored Keister. The fans sighed
! and nothing was heard save the thump of
the ban as il fell in the Outfield beyond
( the reach Of fielders or shot between the
basemen. FoutZ singled and Jackson
crossed the plate. Robinson hit to centre
and got to second when Farrell juggled
the ball in centre field. HowelGs ground
er was fielded to the plate, where Foutz
was caught in the attempt to come home.
McGraw expressed his approval of the
course matters We're taking by helping
himself TO another single and while the
rOtUnd Robinson and Howell ran across
the plate there were distressed cries of
take him out, from the bleachers The
appeal referred to Gear, who certainly
failed to make a hit with the fans They
were nearly on the verge of collapse when
Donlin made the final out of the neces-
sary three by fly to Farrell
1t was apparent that the Senators were
showed under at the very start. a few
ultra hopeful individuals predicted that
the Senators would make one run in each
inning and present the visitors with
goose eggs each time, thus pulling out
victory. These persons, however, We're
working their imagination overtime, as
that the Senators could secure in their
half of the first and that was due to EV-
eretts triple. Farrell had already gone
out at first when he drove the ball under
a buggy in right field. OBrien struck
out and then DUNCAN contributed hit
which scored Everett. Quinn failed TO
reach first.
There were expressions of disappoint-
ment when Gear took the rubber again
in the second for Washington, but he did
much better than in the first sending the
a he bench in ut
der. The home team took a blank them
selves in this inning
Nor was there anything doing in the
third in the way of run getting. The
scoring works of each team appeared to
have shut down for the time. The spell
was broken in the fourth. Howell struck
out when he came to bat for the Orioles.
McGraw went out on a little pop-up to
Quinn and then Donlin threw a chill into
the Senators friends by raDping out q
three-sacker Williams was retired at
first, however, sending the orioles to the
field again. Coughlin did it all for Wash
ington. Three times each did Quinn and
Chngman swing vafnlN at Howells de-
ceptIve twiStcrs. COughIin made his home
run, the only score of the inning. Grady
went ont on q foul.
When the Orioles came to the bat in the
fifth, they obtained their lone run in the
same manner as had the Manning Colts
in the fourth. Two men We're already out
when Jackson leaned w choice one
and when q Brien looked hopelessly at
a
knew il was all over. The bah was over
too. and Jackson took his time about
getting to the plate. Washington failed TO
get a single hit in this inning, and drew
another blank.
The home-rua method seems to have
been adopted extensively in the Baltimore
school of baseball In the sixth inning
Howell used the plan with great sue
cess. The ball skinned lightly over the
left field fence once more and the official
scorer YEARLY chalked up another run for
the WearerS of the yellow and black ]
striped stockings. The other batsmeu.
however made outs, thus demonstrating
that the system cannot be worked by
every Baltimorean. The Senators pushed
two TtI1s. which MADE their score a total
of four, across the plate in their half
