AS the result of injuries to Mercer. Grady
and Quinn and the release of Everitt yes
terday Manager Manning had to send two
pitchers into the outfield and bring Farrell
in from center and place him on second.
This patched-up aggregation faced Milwau-
kee with some trepidat ton, but Pitcher Car
rick proved a good pilot. and the Senators
won out handiy by the score of to /.
When Everttt was given his release in
the morning Manager Manning was not
aware of Quinn's disability, and when he
reached the park in the afternoon quite
problem confronted him as to how the
team should be made up. But Gear and
Lee were willing volunteers, and. as Farrell
is quite lively on his feet. he was sent to
second. The Milwaukee lads looked on the
team with plying glances, but their SYM
pathy was wasted, as the Senatorial outfit
was quite capable of taking care of itself.
Farrell at second simply outdid himself on
ground balls and accepted all his chances.
while Gear and Lee sprinted around the
outer garden as though they had been play
ing the positions all their lives.
William Clarke has been selected to fill
the post of captain. and he handled his
men we'll yesterday. coaching them In mas
terful style and inspiring them with conf
dence.
When Willie Carrick Is at his best Mil
waukee has no business dealing with the
Senators, and yesterday was the ex-Giant' 8
good day. He kept the Brewers hits scat
tered throughout the nine innings, struck
out five batters and allowed only two free
passes to first.
Pink Hawley also pitched good ball in
the face of poor support, but by one of the
vagaries of the game it was the Senator'S
hitting that won yesterday. and the errors
OF their opponents did not figure in the run
making. To demonstrate just how effective
MI Hawley was, a glance at the left on
bases In the summary will prove interest
ing. Twelve Senators at different times
were resting on the different corners of the
diamond waiting for the hit that never
came, and the fact that they didn't reach
home can be ascrfbed TO Mr.. Hawley's eff
fectfvenesS.
Too much praise cannot be given the
Washington players for the support they
gave Carrick. At third Bill Coughlin sim
ply outdid himself. several of his stops of
hot line drives being marvellous, while his
beautiful drive to the center-field fence
was of the timely order and trick winner
Over at first DUNCAN also did well, and the
playing of the team as a whole was a treat.
For the first five innings the two teams
played almost perfect ball and, with the
good twirling of Carrick and Hawley,
neither side was able TO get a run across
the plate. In the sixth Milwaukee was the
first to break the ice. getting one run. Friel
led off with a clean single and was advanc-
ed to second by Hallmans secrifice. Big
John Anderson then ripped off a fierce sin
gle and Friel came home with Milwaukee, 8
first and last tally.
The lead of one run did not discourage
the Senators. and they went right after the
Brewers and as a result assumed the lead
by making two runs. Lee started off with
a hit into center which Conroy couldn't get
his hands on. and Coughlin followed with a
triple to deep center. Carrick proved the
right man for the place his single bringing
In the Senator from third.
In the eighth the third and last run was
chalked up for the Senators. Clingman
reached first on AndersOn's error and was
sacrificed to second. Farrell then made a
safe hit and on COnroy's bad throw Cling
man raced over the plate.
HaskeIrs work was quite an Improvement
on his last two games. demonstrating that
if left alone and not worried by the play
ers fairly good work can be done by the
umpires.
