Never in it's history has American League
Park, Baltimore, seen a more sensational
and interesting conclusion to a base ball
game than was that to the first game yes
terday between Washington and Baltimore,
in which the Orioles defeated the Capitol
ties by the score Of to 5: nor has it ever
seen worse exhibition Of quitting by the
Orioles than that which occurred in the last
three innings of the second game, in which
the Senators were the victors by a score Of
s to 4.
The attendance was Ash, and this was
large considering that the management ne
elected to advertise the fact that there
would be double-header.
In the first game yesterday were to be
found all the elements which tend to make
the genuine rooter proud of the name and
glad that he Is living. Good plays were
mingled with bad In strangely fantastic
manner; hits came in unexpected places
and failed to materialize when they should
have cut prominent figure; the score was
close throughout, and never for a moment
could the enthusiast sit back in comfort
and think that the game was progressing in
the ordinary fashion
McGinnity did the pitching for Baltimore
and by no means proved q wizard child
wonder for the Senators, who pounded out
fourteen hits, several of them at oppor-
tune moments. Gear tossed them up for
Washington, and was not much better than
McGinnity as gay deceiver, for thirteen
hits were made off Of him. In the last
two innings Gears mysteries suddenly be-
came an open book for the Orioles, and
they ground out hit after hit with men
on the bases, scoring two runs in each In
ming and thus winning the contest. Every
body on the Baltimore team was in the
game during those two innings and worked

that Gears curves became easy for them
which brought about the victory, not bril-
liant headwork with the stick nor brainy
base running.
Baltimore started the run getting in the
first inning, when, after Dunn had gone
out, Donlin singled to center and came
home on Williams single to the same field.
The second run came in the fifth inning as
the result Of two-bagger by Bresnahan,
long fly by McGinnity and a double by
Donlin. In the eighth Donlin made a hit,
on lucky single along third-base line by
Williams. Brodie was the man for the
money with a single to right, which scored
Williams, after Ke1ster had advanced him
a base by a single.
Washington scored twice in the second
inning on singles by Foster and Coughlin.

The Second Game.
Howell was an easy mark for the WASH
ington contingent In the second game,
who hit him whenever the occasion de-
manded and kept the ball scooting around

disheartening to the Baltimore rOoters,
whose hopes were running SO high
consequence of the first game.
Lee did not put up the best article of
pitching, but 1t was enough to head on the
weak efforts OF the birds to win. some
thing seemed to have entered into the
Orioles and taken away all the ginger
which characterized the first game, and
when Washington took the lead In the
fourth inning only weak efforts were made
to repair the damage. This was especially
noticeable In the eighth and ninth innings,
when, instead of taking heart from their
the day. the men hit listlessly. letting drive
at the first ball pitched, as II the art OF
waiting and hitting at the proper moment
had never been discovered.
Baltimore's first runs were scored In the
second inning, which Williams opened with
a three-bagger to center. He scored on
Keister's two-bagger down the left foul line
and Keister scored on Hart's out. Another
Bresnahan's bunt was made good for three
bases by Coughlin's bad throw. He came
home when Dunn put a long fly to Foster.
The last run came In the sixth inning and
was the one made by the three-bagger Of
Williams and Keister.
Washington opened the game with run
in the first inning, Waldron making two
bagger and coming in on single by Grady.
In the fourth inning two more runs were
made. Grady doubled. Clarke bunted, Eos
ter scored Grady with a single, Clarke was
forced at the plate and Foster scored on
Walron's hard drive to Williams. Another
run came in the sixth from Coughlin's sim
gle. Clingman's sacrifice and Waldrons sin

The seventh inning produced two runs.
Clarke hit to Keister, who threw too low to
FIRST allowing Clarke to reach third. Fos-
tere got base on balls. Clarke went home
on Coughlins out and Clingman sent in
Foster with a single. The last runs were
made in the eighth inning. Lee hunted,
Waldron sacrificed. Farrell put up a fly to
Seymour, who muffed 1t, and then Bresna-
han allowed the throw-in to get by him,
which scored Lee. DUNCAN singled to left
and Farrell ambled home.
