Yesterdays game at American Park, be-
| tween the Washington and Milwaukee
| clubs, was won by the latter, 8 to 8. AT
| ter looking over the contest an alleged hu-
morist in the grand stand remarked that 1t
belonged to one Of the ''57 varieties" and
s-.ould be served up with warm water. Be
that as 1t may, the game was certainly a
variable one and furnished enough excite
ment for the average fan to satisfy him
for several days There were so many
good plays. bad plays and Indifferent plays
that detailed description Is difficult.
Hastings was on the rubber for Milwau-
kee, and but for his bases on balls the
Senator's would not have been in the run
ming. as the hits generally came after bat
ters had been given a free pass to first or
an error would bob up. During the six in
nings he was on the rubber but five hits
had been made off his delivery, but when
he started the seventh with passes and al
lowed the next man to make a single, fill
ing the bases. Manager Duffy signalled
from the center garden, and Hastings went
to the bench.
Milwaukee's manager evidently went
through the form of "Eeny, meeny, miny,
NO." when looking over his twrlers for
Pink Hawley walked to the center of the
diamond as the relieving force. The best
he could do was to slam the ball into Bill
CIarke's ribs. forcing home a run, and then
allow Sammy DUNCAN to single out a nice
one and clear the bases with triple to the
club house. Manager Duffy then decided
on another choose and selected Virgil
Garvfn. This time he hat it right the
elongated twirler from Texas being a mys-
terry for the two and a half innings he was
on the rubber. With DUNCAN resting on
third and no one out in the seventh, Gar
nrIipr Il
on an easy infeld hit, and Coughlin also
famed This performance was so good
that the spectators had to cheer Virgil, al
though he was serving in the enemy's
camp.
Wyatt Lee was on the rubber for Wash
lhston ana with anything like good support
he would have won his game, hands
down" Notwithstanding his poor support,
Lee stuck everlastingly at it and the yisi-
tors won out by the narrowest of margins
At the bat, Lee also did his best to land
the game, being one of the three Senators
to get more than one hit
The Brewers started off we'll Waldron's
triple to the right field fence and an out
from short to first sent him over the plate
with the hrst run In the second, Wash
lngton did some business, and the game
seemed cinched. Everitt walked after two
senator had been retired and then three
singles, double and error sent four
Washington lads over the plate
In the fifth Milwaukee got two Of these
runs back. and the game didn't look SO
good from Washington standpoint. An
error by Everitt and another by Coughlin
left two runners reach first in safety and
then Friel swatted' a ball to the right
field fence and both scored
But the seventh inning furnished the
Waterloo and the gamut of physical feel
ing was run First came surprise. then
CONSERVATION, then woe, and. finally, indig-
nation. When the Senators went to the bat
the feelings of the spectators took another
turn, and this time surprise came first
then joy, then exultation. and finally, dis
appointment. The Onlookers certainly got
their moneys worth.
Burke and Maloney started the trouble
with singles to center, and then Clngman' S
error let in the first run. Waldron hit into
center, and Farrells error two more
runs crossed the plate. Then a let-up oc-
CURED, two of the Brewers going out; but
Anderson got in nice single Andy
was caught off first and should have been
easily retired, but Clingman was too slow
with the ball and he reganed the bag in
safety. In recognition of this generosity
Ccnroy slammed the ball over the left field
fence. and two more runs were scored.
In Washingtons half of this inning. the
Senator'S scored four times. and DUNCAN
rested on third with the tieing run. but he
couldn't be brought in. Clingman walked
and Lee singled and Farrell also walked
filing the bases. Clarke was then hit by
pitched ball and DUNCAN tripled to right
clearing the bases. The next three mer
went out, as detailed above.
Neither side scored in the eighth and
ninth innings and the Brewers were a
happy lot as they took the coach for the
hotel Score.
