Beautiful Fielding.

Both teams fielded beautifully, not an
error being made, although the grounders
that got away from Woiverton and Ely
came very near to being in the misplay
class. Both these balls were hit very hard,
and drives easily went down for hits in
stead OF errors.
Ball players are superstitious. and among
Orth's fancies is one that a pitcher will be
hit hard in one inning. Orth got his ham
mering in the first yesterday, but after
that did fairly well. Pickering began bust
ness with double to left field that Rugged
the foul line to the fence. Hemphill struck
out, and matters frightened up for sec
ond. but Fiicks single to right sent Picker
ing over the plate. Pick is one of the
f1eetest runners in the business. and his
good sprinting alone scored this tally, as
Keister sent the ball to Clarke in very fast
order. Not TO be outdone by his companion.
Bob Wood also singled into left and Bon
ner did the same. filling the bases. Then
up came Nh Bradley with his home run
reputation just brought over from Phladel-
phia. and the clever boy made good with
double to the left field fence that cleared
the bases. The havoc then ceased, Bradley
being forced along the home base line, af
ter he had reached third on the throw in
of his hit, by Gochnauer's gounder to
Coughlin. and Bemis went out to Carey I'M
assisted.
A Magnificent Hit.
In the fourth inning, after two were out,
IltCHeT Wright Caught OHo VI oftu tcS
on the end of his bat and sent It over the
left field fence for home run, making the
score stand to in favor of Cleveland.
Wrights hit was a magnificent effort, the
fence being cleared fully hundred feet
from the foul line.
Ciphers were then hung up until the
eighth inning was reached when both
teams did little business in the base hit
ting line.
Cleveland was the first up, and, after
Bonner had fouled out to Clarke, Bradley
again wailoped the sphere for two bases
and scored on Bemis hit for one base into
right. This made the score 6 to o. and the
LEGAL fans" were Respondent and many
left the grounds in disgust.
The Fun Opens.
But the fun began when the Senator's
took their turn at the bat. scoring three
runs, amid the gleeful shouts of the null
titude. Orth started off with a little fly
that dropped safely back Of second base
and Ryan sent the same kind of a ball
into right. This was the first signs of
consecutive hitting, and the spectators jol-
lied matters along by yelling like band
of Comanches. Wolyerton continued the
good work with a clean drive to center and
Orth crossed the plate. Wright didn't like
the looks Of Delehanty's bat and passed
him to first. Keister then forced "Del' at
second. Ryan scoring on the out, and a
moment later WOlverton came home from
third as Coughiin filed out to left.
Ortiz made quick work of the Spiders in
the ninth and the Senators started the noise
again when Ely led off with hit and
Wright was assuredly baIlooning. Clarke
also singled to center. but Orth's hit to
short forced Ely at third and a shower of
Ice water seemed to have struck the mob
But only for a minute, as Moore who had
taken Wrights place. hit Ryan with the
pail, again placing two on bases. Then
followed the efforts Of WOverton and Dele
hanty as detailed above and the game was
over.
Following is the official score:
