SENATORS DoWNED CLEVELAND.
With PatchedUp Team Cleveland
Was outplayed.
Although the Washingtons had patched
up team in the field yesterday afternoon
against Cleveland. they played like winners
from the start. and defeated the visitors
by 16 to t. Both Ely and Keister were out
OF the game on account of badly injured
hands, and as a result Lee went into right
as on Wednesday Coughlin to short and
Drill to second. In the face of such handi-
cap 1t Is the custom for team to LAY
down and take defeat as natural conse-
quence. but yesterday the rule was broken
as everybody played good, snappy ball. and
in addition Al. Orth began delivering the
goods" from the very start.
In Mondays game Orth was hit for keeps
In the first inning, but the clever twirler
was foxy Yesterday, and postponed his bad
inning until the Senators had obtained a
good start. Drill at second was little of
in his handling of grounders, but he is as
quick as cat on his feet. and caught the
runners each time at first on fast recov-
cries. Every position looks alike to "Scran-
ton Bill" Coughin, and he tramped around
short just as though he had been playing
there all his life.
Left-hander STREET. began twirling for
Cleveland. but his reception was such a
warm one that he was sent to the bench
before the second inning had been finished.
Lundbohm, right-hander. went to the rub
Der in his place, but the Senators had got
ten their eyes on the ball, and there was no
stopping them. Coughlin had the best per-
centage. as he made three singles and two
bases on balls. but Jimmy Ryan's hitting
was the best to look at, as he knocked out
home run, triple and a single. Carey
was close up. with two doubles and single,
and of course Del had to get some of the
cherry pie' by swiping a double and two
singles.
In the face of the sugging by the Sena-
tors the Clevelands appeared to quit in
stanter, and put up a careless game in the
field. several of the hits going safe that
should have been gathered in. Pickering
and Bradley put up their usual good game,
the former making two catches in center
that were ringers
Pickering, as usual started the game
well with a nice single to right but the
next three batters went out in order on
easy chances.
Ryan's Eye-opener.
For Washington Ryan opened with a
drive over the left field fence for home
run. feat that set everybody smiling and
feeling good Wolverton tried to bunt, and
Streit made mess of the little roller. Del
ehanty flied out to short, and Lee to CEN
ter. Coughlin placed nice single in left.
and Careys timely double to the right
field fence sent Bill and Wolverton home.
Cleveland got it's first runs in the sec
ond after two were out. Drill and Carey
took care of Bonner and Bradley. but Orth
passed Gochnauer to first and Bemis made
a mighty drive over the left-feld fence.
This hit pulled the Spiders up pretty close
to the Senators, and the smiles disappeared
from a majority of faces.
Manager Armour doubtless thought
Streit would pull himself together after his
bad start and kept him in the box. with
sad results. Clarke started the second
with a double to left and Orth hit safe to
right. Ryan singled in the same direction.
and Clarke crossed the plate, Orth racing
to third. Wolverton bunted again. and
this time Streit caught Orth at third Dele
hanty hit a short fly into center. and as
Pickering booted the ball in his endeavor
to catch 1t, the hit went down as a double,
and Ryan scored. Lee waited with judg-
ment, and was passed to first filling all
three corners. Coughlin once more got
in a safe drive to left and Wolverton
scored. Carey sent long fly into center
and was out, Delehanty losing his bearings
and anchoring at third. but base on balls
to Drill forced the mighty one home
minute later. AT this point Streit was re-
lieved by Lundbohm, and Clarke flied out
to center, closing the inning.
Good Work Kept Up.
The good work was continued in the
third. Orth leading off with triple to
right but Ryan fouled to Bemis. Wolver-
ton then hit a nice liner into center, good
for two bases, and Orth came home Dele
hanty also hit a single into center. "Del'
then made a bluff steal Of second. and on
the throw down Wolverton cantered home
After Lee had died at first on Bonner's as
sist, Coughlin made his third consecutive
hit, scoring Delehanty.
The Senators then rested up for two in
nings, and both teams scored in the sixth
Bonner hit safely to right for one base
and Bradley poked long fly over the
left-feld fence for a home run. This ended
Cleveland's run getting on the day
The Senators got these two runs back in
jiffy in the same inning. a base on balls
