The Senators took a game from Balti-
more yesterday in Baltimore in a rather
remarkable slugging contest. Washington
made seventeen base hits, with a total Of
thirty, while Baltimore get in fourteen,
with a total OF twenty-eight. Another note
worthy feature was the number of long
hits Five home runs, four triples and
four doubles were included in the after
Moons work. 1t was one of those days
when all twirlers look alike to the batsmen.
Throughout the contest the Orioles wore
a most funereal air, and they had much
cause, for McGraw, their plucky leader,
while standing to the gaff was SO severely
injured that he was carried to the club
house, and will be out of the game for at
least week.
McGraw Slips His Kneecap.
This injury to McGraw is momentous for
the Baltimore team. as it was to the game
yesterday. With Waldron first in the
second inning Farrell hit toward Brodie.
and Waldron who is fast and daring rum
ner, ran to second and then started for
third. While he was Steamng for the bag
BrOdie got the ball and threw 1t toMcGraw
for the play WaldrOn at the bag. To
stand and catch the ball and block Wal
dron off the bag meant crashing collision
for McGraw, but he never fiinched, and
into him Although the impact of Waldron
was something terrific McGraw held the
ball Snd tried to touch him out, the next
instant rolling on the grass in the agony of
a terrific knockout solar plexuS blow and
dislocated knee cap. McGraw twisted the
kneecap back into place and went limping
out to Manassau, claiming that Waldron
was out The umpire would not allow 1t,
and McGraw continued in the game. In
the next inning with Nops on first base,
McGraw hit the ball into right field for
two-base hit.
Just as he hit the ball and started for the
base the knee cap slipped out of place
again, and McGraw fell in his tracks like
shot. While McGraw writhed in agony at
the plate Foster threw the ball to Cling
man. who threw it to Grady. and McGraw
was declared out at first. This time it was
in possible for Mac to slip the kneecap
back into place, and he was carried to the
club house, where a doctor set the dislo-
Gated member. Later McGraw was placed
in a wheelbarrow and taken to the club
house entrance, where he was deposited in
a carriage for his hotel.
Three HOmers in One Inning.
To return to the game: Jerry Nops start
ed out to pitch for the Orioles, and he
early snagged his trousers In the first in
ming Nops made a couple of fielding errors
and gave couple of bases on balls that
resulted in three runs. He staggered along
until the fourth inning, when the Senators
made the unique record of making three
home runs in one inning. Two singles
were mixed in with the homers, making
total of five runs for the inning, and then
Jerry retired to meditation on the bench.
Harry Howell volunteered to go in to save
the game, and he all but carried out the
contract. In the seventh inning Howell
was pounded for four hits and three runs
but he kept well enough together to have
won could his mates have delivered the
goods at the bat.
Bill Clarke is now the big dog with the
brass collar among the Senators, and he
wanted to win the game, as the Orioles had
already landed three of the last three. Pat
ten started in to twirl for the visitors. He
had rather bad first inning, but steadied
