| Keister followed his predecessor exam

They thought they saw the beginning

the initial bag. but. the impression was

which scored Keister. The fans sighed

/ and got to second when Farrell juggled

er was felded to the plate. where Foutz
was caught in the attempt to come home.
| McGraw expressed his approval of the
| course matters were taking by helping
| himself to another single and while the
| rotund Robinson and Howell ran across
the plate there were distressed cries of
take him out from the bleachers. The
appeal referred to Gear, who certainly
failed to make hit with the fans. They
were nearly on the verge of collapse when
Donlin made the final out of the neces-
sary three by a fly to Farrell.
1t was apparent that the Senators were
showed under at the very start. few
ultra-hopeful individuals predicted that
the Senators would make one run in each
inning and present the visitors with
goose eggs each time, thus pulling out a
victory. These persons, however, were
working their imagination overtime, as
was afterward proven. one run was all
that the Senators could sec-lre in their
half of the first and that W; due to Ev-
eretts triple. Farrell had already gone
out at first when he drove the ball under
a buggy in right field. O'Brien struck
out and then DUNCAN contributed a hit
which scored Everett Quinn failed to
reach first.
There were expressions of disappoint-
ment when Gear took the rubber again
in the second for Washington, but he did
much better than in the first, sending the
visitors to the bench in one-two-three or
der The home team took a blank them
selves in this inning.
Nor was there anything doing in the
third in the way of run getting. The
scoring works of each team appeared to
have shut down for the time. The spell
was broken in the fourth Howell struck
out when he came to bat for the Orioles.
McGraw went out on a little pop-up to
Quinn and then Doniin threw a chill into
the Senator'S friends by rapping out a
three-sacker. Williams was retired at
first, however, sending the Orioles to the
field again. Coughlin did it all for Wash
ington. Three times each did Quinn and
Chngman swing Nainly at Howells de-
ceptive twisters. Coughin made his home
run, the only score of the inning. Grady
went out on foul
When the Orioles came to the bat in the
fifth, they obtained their lone run in the
same manner as had the Manning Colts
in the fourth. Two men were already out
when Jackson leaned w choice one
the top of the left field fence, the fans
knew 1t was all over. The bali was over
too and Jackson took his time about
getting to the plate. Washington failed TO
get a single hit in this inning, and drew
another blank.
The home-run method seems to have
been adopted extensively in the Baltimore
school of baseball. In the sixth inning
Howell used the plan with great sue
cess. The ball SKINNED lightly over the
left field fence once more and the official
scorer YEARLY chalked UP another run for
the wearerS of the yellow and black
striped stockings. The other batsmen.
however, made outs. thus demonstrating
that the system cannot be worked by
two runs. which mace their score a total
of four, across the plate in their half
Of the sixth. Clingmau opened the inning
by going out at first. Coughlig hit a sing
CT to McGraw, but the latter mishandled
it, Cuughlin reaching the initial bag safe
~. Grady placed one in left field and
stood on the third bag when the ball was
field back to the diamond. Coughlin scor-
ing in the meantime. Gear drove into the
hands of Jackson in deep centre, and
Grady scored after the catch was made.
McGraw retired the side by cora ling
Farrelrs foul.
Oue-two-three order for the Orioles and
a goOse-egg for the Senators was the his
tory of the seventh. A double and a
single made the visitors score total
of ten in the eighth. There was no more
run-g getting for the locals in this inning.
Then in the ninth Baltimore scored once
more when Williams crossed the plate
Washington was already beaten and
% Brsen,s single in the ninth did not help
The game ended without further scoring
The Rostons open here today.
