time he came up, instead of being retired
on strikes. 1t possessed several distinct
kinds of twists a break. halting pace,
to the art Of pitching. 1t was a great big
day for Lee, and ne was the biggest hero
in all Washington at 6:lS o'clock
Inc Senators put up a rafting good
game. Iney neluCd brilliantly, batted like
coming champions, and ran bases clever
ly. DUNCAN commenced the game at first,
with Mercer Scampering around in rlght
garden. In the second inning Mcfarland
landed on one Of Lees slow ones ana
smashed it away out toward MERGERS ter
ritory. There was a high wind blowing
over the field and the ball was carried
much farther than il would ordinarily
have Travelled. Mercer started to run
back for the sailing sphere and as II
came within hailing distance threw out
his graphing irons and gave an added
acrObatlc turn to the effort DN IeaplnE
high in the air. He struck the right field
fence and was thrown heavily to the
ground where he lay for a second as If
stunned. Mcfarland had in the meantime
tore around the bags with a home run
to his credit. The entire Washington
club ran tc assist their fellow player and
ii was found that Mercer was too Sc
Vcrely shaken up to continue in the game.
Then il was that Everett, who had been
drawing his salary for some days with
out doing any harder work than telling
the other members of the team of some
of his great plays. was drafted into ser
vice, and resumed his familiar place at
first. while Sammy DUNCAN again
adorned the right precinct
Quinn, at second, made one OF the most
the local grounds. Il occurred i'll the
seventh and ShuEaTt was the sufferer. The
Chicago man had sized Lee up all rlght
and swung upon a waist-high ball Just at
the proper moment, and there was a
smacking sound and almost before the
crowd could get a line on the direction the
ball had taken. Joe Quinn was observed
making a lunge for something with an
outstretched paw. 1t was not until the
spectators saw the little white ball nest
ling safely in the undertakerS s mitt that
they realized what a wonderful play he
had made and the hero Of forty-siX sea
sons was given one of the big rounds OF
applause of the day. Shugart looked ut
teTly disgusted as he witnessed Quinn
achievement and characterized it as "a
mean trick.
There was nothing doing for the Sena-
toriai aggregation until the third inning.
The Chcagos had secured three runs
and things looked dubious for the Man
ming tribe when they started their half OF
the inning Lee was the first man to get
to centre for a bag, but was thrown out
a moment later on Hartman's field of
FarrelIs hit. Farrell reached second sta
tion on the homeward trip when DUNCAN
raped out { pretty single. After Quinn
had flied to Hoy, Foster picked out nice
ball that suited him and nailed IT on the
nose. and before it had been returned to
the diamond. Farrell and DUNCAN had
scored and Foster was safely planted on
third cushion, while the gang yelled and
took on a new lease on life. Everett lined
across the plate and then there was more
cheering and cries of decided approval.
The inning closed with Everett being
thrown out at secL2d, owing TO his bad
habit of straying too far from the base
when such an accurate throWer as Sui
Ivan is wearing the mask.
CliEgman scored in the fourth on Nc
Farlands muff of his fly and Lees triple
to centre In the sixth. Coughiin and Lee
got across the rubber on a single by the
former, the local pitchers second three
base hit, and a triple by DUNCAN Again
in the eighth the. Senators increased their
lead by getting Farrell and DUNCAN
across the plate. Quinn drove in the pair
of tallies with a superior grade Of two
base hits. greatly to the satisfaction of
the crowd.
The Chfcagos made two runs in the first
on a single by Jones and Mertes' homer
over the left fence. In the next inning
Mcfarland drove the ball over the fence
for four sacks. but after this steak of
hitting Lee settled down to work and
indeed, they did not even secure anything
that savored OF base hit.
This will explain the popularity Of the
Washington team LAST evening:
