The times., 1901-05-01

the awful exhibition of Pitcher Nops the
gentleman who was formerly hailed as
''Muggsy'' kept up a painful silence, but
he evidently had his thought works work
ing overtime, for after Nops had present
ed three local men with bases on balls he
decided to send the ieft-handed youth to
the timber.
Then Schmidt took trial at holding
the locals down, and to his credit Il must
be said that when he succeeded IN getting
the ball over the plate the Washington
men were unable to hit 1t out of safe
bounds. But from the moment NopS en-
tered the game it became deadly dull
affair, almost without interest except ior
the forlorn chance that the visitors might,
by some mistake, get down to real work
and become dangerous.
Lee made his debut one of the Man
ming box artists, and while he was MT
for eleven bags. his fielding support was
wretchedse Quinn in particular being de-
cidedly off in his work. The knockers
Coterie was out in full force. and most
of the members were armed with prisnl
new hammers that gave forth a clear
ringing sound they descended on the
Quinn anvil. Coughlin continued TO pay
the third base in the manner In whlch IL
should be handled and as a result ne
greatly increased his popularity one OF
his plays was of the brilliant order. 1T
occurred in the second inning. Latimer
landed on one of Lees fast ones and sent
the BAH spinning in the direction of the
pitcher, who had barely time TO stick
out his hand and touch the BALL Wnicn
Caromed off toward third. Coughlin had
run up from his regular poSltlon When
I.atimer made his swing and as he obserV-
ed Lees unavoidable stop OF the sphere
ne made a Jump for it and hurled the
leather over TO Everett IN time TO .l1 neao
off Latimer. For moment or so there
was a racket that sounded Ike a new
hired girl getting acquainted with some
choice chinaware. and the clever little
third bagman was compelled to doff his
cap several times before the hubbub
subsided
Baltimore scored its first runs on
fielder's choice Williams single, Dun
gans error, and Qufnns tumble of Sey-
mour's grounder Jackson came over the
rubber in the fourth on two successive
errors Of Quinn, and Bresnahan'S two
bagger. DOnlins hit for three cushions, a
halk by Lee, Keister's out to OBren, and
Jackson s single netted two more scores
in the fifth. The Orioles last run came
in the shape of home run drive, the first
of the local season, when FoutZ lifted
one of Lees choicest balls over to the
right field fence where 1t was lost until
the Baltimore man had made the circuit
OF the bases.
There was much delight when the SEN
ators tied the score in their half of the
first with two runs, which came on a
base on balls given to o Brien Dungan's
single, and Quinns long drive to the cen
tire field fence, which sent DUNCAN and
O. Brien home TWO errors, a base on
balls, and two one-base cracks sent three
more Localities in during the second inning
and practically clinched the game. But
as ii not satisfied, another trio of tallies
were chalked up to the credit of the Sen
ators in the succeeding inning on a hit
by Clingman, 4 base on balls, granted to
Coughlin. Keisters tumble of Clarke's
hit. another base on balls. this one to Far
rell, and Everett's single. When Nops
filled the bases in the fourth with bases
on balls, DUNCAN and Quinn were credited
with runs by the scorers before Schmidt,
who had taken Nops' place. retired the
side. Two bases on balls and an error of
Williams in the fifth gave the Washing
tonians another score, while an additional
man got around the pillows in the eighth
on fielder's choice, passed ball, and
two errors of Jackson
