games that might easily be won down TO
q fine point, and the contest with Mil
waukee yesterday only demonstrated the
inability Of the local ball tossers to win
out in times when the opportunity is
handed TO them on large platter
There is no good reason why the game
yesterday should not have been a victory
for the Washington men. They had
plenty OF chances to turn the trick, but
at opportune moments some one failed to
show UP with the winning point. Even II
the score shows that the Brewers secured
more hits than did the Senators, the
tabulated story of the game does not ex-
plain how the Localities threw away many
chances TO win cut. II says nothing Of
how Sammy DUNCAN responded to a sig
nal of distress when there were three
men on bases and how he nobly came to
the rescue with a screaming three-bagger
to right field, and how, with no one out,
he was left a derelict at third, and all be
cause neither Foster. Quinn, or Coughlin
could hit the bail out OF the inheld. The
score does not make clear how disastrous
were Everett's errors. how they resulted
IN the visitors getting runs across the
plate after chances had been given TO re-
tire the side The sting of defeat is
fastened 10 Colonel Lee by the product
of the official scorer, yet as matter Of
fact he had nothing to do with the loss
of the game, for properly supported he
would have won out hands down.
IL was a game as full Of pyrotechnics as
a country town with no district commits
sioners on the night Of the glorious. There
were all sorts Of brilliant plays and in
abundance. The seventh was particularly
Fourth Of Julyish. Both teams took a
fr,T !
had a run for their money, even If the
favorites were unable TO finish under the
wire. When the Brewers went to bat
Burke and Maloney got measly hits that
should have been outs with any sort of
fast playing Maloney's in particular was
a good specimen Of the manner in which
Bill Everett plays at the game The hit
was a rather SLOW one, and instead of
throwing 10 Lee, who had run over to
cover the bag, Everett thought himself a
sprinter and chased Maioney himself. The
result was that the Milwaukee catcher
landed on the cushion in advance and
turned around and rudely ha ha'ed Cap
tain Bill while the latter looked sheepish
and tied his shoestring, thus showing that
he knew his profession, anyway. Cling
man then tried his hand at errorizing ard
Husting was allowed TO reach first IN
SAFETY, while Burke romped home. Wal
dron's single sent Maloney across the rub
Der, and when Farrell failed TO stop the
hit Husting also got around the circuit
Friel went out, Lee to Everett, and Hall
man flied to Clarke, but Anderson
slammed out q base hit and another run
came in and was charged up to WaIdron
IT was getting mighty interesting, from
the viewpoint Of the Milwaukee rooter, of
which Breed there were a few in the
grandstand- All the enthusiasm was taken
out OF the crowd for the moment when,
after he had landed several fouls against
the left field fence. Conroy knocked the
ball over the fence within the fair line.
sending IN Anderson ahead of himself
stih Colonel Lee did not weaken and re-
quest 10 be permitted to have a substi-
tute- He kept firing in all sorts OF
shoots, balls that ordinarily would fool
the best of hitters, but with the streak of
hitting that the Brewers had developed
and the avidity with which the Senators
made errors, It was small use for him to
try to exert himself. Duffy followed with
single and il looked as II the cannon
ssing would never let up, but relief came
