dope book of his hired men, CHANGED upon
the record OF Foster. Summoning the left
fielder TO the bench, the boss enquired:
Foster. usn't you play infield for the
Giants?'
Yes; ust to-" coyly confessed Foster.
II thought you ust; tbs well, too. Get
out and try Clingman's parade ground
this afternoon" Foster was given a few
minutes trying out and as he seemed to
have the knack of getting in front of the
grounders all right his name was sent to
the scorers as the short field of the mat
inee. For wonder, Foster did not have
many hard chances to show his abilities
as an infielder, but those that came to
him were snapped up all right. He threw
to the bases accurately and swiftly, too
The youthful Mr. Moore, who on the
occasion of his last visit to this city had
a vast amount Of fun with the hitters of
the Manning aggregation, appeared in
the centre of the diamond for the Spiders
and during his preliminary work showed
so much speed that the spectators imag-
ined the game as well as lost. But for
wonder speed was exactly what the SEN
ators were on the lookout for yesterday.
There have been days when they did not
want to have anything to do with fast
simply Toasted upon velocity Nothing
could come too fast for them. And as a
result of this fondness for hurry-up
ehoots the very first local fellow up Wal
dron, smashed out two-bagger Then
Farrell plugged the ball for a cushion,
allowing Waldron to get all the way
around the highway. Farrell came snort
ing up the highway a moment later when
Sammy DUNCAN lined the ball over to
right field out OF reach of Harvey. Clarke
was not able to connect with the sphere
after three Intellectual attempts but
Grady kept Mr.. Moore on the anxious
seat by lsmbasting one of his famed high
inshoots squarely on the trademark. Fos-
ter walked to the initial sack, and when
Coughlin hit to Shiebeck the ball was
hurried over to second in time to nab
Foster, but DUNCAN tore up the ground in
the vicinity of the home plate on the
play. Then Coughlin started for second
or steal and Catcher Connor fired the
ball without seeming to take any aim.
The leather sailed about twenty feet
above the head Of the gecond bag guar
dian and Grady trotted home with the
fourth run OF the inning.
1t was quite a glorious beginning for
the Senators, who have heretofore evil
denced a desire to let the other fellows
get the bulge on them in the opening part
of the game and then settle down to play
real ball after they had practically lost
the game. This administering their own
trick to the visitors did not seem to please
them. particularly Pitcher Moore, who,
when he went to work in the second in
ming. opened his safety valve and blew
off ten or twelve pounds of steam. During
tba af the afternunU local ,aop
were compelled to lunge at slow balls,
but IT is worthy of mention that they
succeeded in hitting this style OF delivery
almost as hard as they had the fast ones
of the first act.
Coughlfn scored again for the locals in
the third inning, when he reached first
on a hit that retired Foster at second.
Gears single and Patterns hard drive TO
the left field fence for a couple Of pillows
sent Coughlin home with the fifth and
last run OF the game. The Clevelands were
