The double-header at American League
Park Saturday proved something Of Wa
terloo to the Senators, as the Baltimores
captured both games, the first by the score
of to s. and the second 9 to 6. 1t was
case of overconfdence from the start and
the Washington players paid the penalty.
The Baltinores looked so weak that Ortiz
took things easy in the start off, and when
he wanted to play winning ball the Birds
were right on his heels and by sensational
work prevented the Senators from getting
the runs necessary to win.
The same story applies to the second
game. AS the Senators had lost the first 1t
seemed too much to ask the Birds to win the
second. and going along on this line the
locals got into such big hole that 1t was
impossible to climb out. Work Of this sort
is bound to create a disgruntled following
and the Washington players should be
made to appreciate this fact. Approach any
one of the men who wear senatorial uni
forms and he will say that Manager LOTUS
Is one of the best fellows in the world, yet
the team goes on the field and through
carelessness drops two games which will
cost the club management full a thousand
dollars through decreased attendance. 1t
is not question of where the team will
finish. but Of giving the patrons re-
turn TOT lUelT money. WIN proper
the Senators should win six out OF every
seven games they play with the Baltimores.
and there Is no excuse to offer for Their
work Saturday. Overconfdence is not to
be thought of in base ball.,
1t must not be taken from the foregoing
that the Baltimores didn't play good ball.
because the contrary was the case. Little
Mcfarland out in centerfield made catch
of line drive from Carey's bat that as
suredly shut off a home run. and selbach
got in circus catch of foul fly that shut
out the Senators at time when they
looked dangerous. Harry Howell at snort
was also a bright particular star at short.
Listless Work of the Locals.
The Senators didn't play very bad ball.
but 1t was their listless work that made
the onlookers testy and sore. Orth and
Carrick did the twirling and opposed as
they were by Katoll and Butler. two cast
offs. it would seem as though their standing
In the base ball world would have called for
more eXertion But the Orioles hit the
high priced pitchers with merry good will,
while the Senators found the opposing
pitchers very much of a puzzle when hit
was needed.
In the first game the Orioles started scor-s
ing from the start, Mcfarland and Setback
making singles and Williams triple At
hit to Doyle and Williams was caught on
the line. keister ran the Oriole too close
to Orth, and when he finally threw the ball,
| 1t hit the runner on the shoulder, and, Of
course, he scored. The next two batters
were easy outs.
In the third the Birds hung up another
run, the result of Jones' single and a triple
by Arndt to right.
| In the fourth Washington got its first run,
the result of Careys double and Ely's sin
gle.
In the sixth Arndt started off with a sin
gle. sacrificed to second and then
brought home by Robinsons single. In the
eighth Mathison secured a base on balls
and was sent over the rubber on McFar-
lands double to right.
This made the score 6 to 1 when the SEN
ators went to bat for the last time The
finish was exciting, but they fell short just
one run. Lee started of with a roller to
Howell, which the latter obligingly FUN
bled. Ely soaked a single into right, but
| Clarkes best was a fly to Howell. Orth
singled into left and filed the bases, while
the crowd yelled with delight at this show
| of energy on the Senator's part. Jack
| Doyle then plunked timely single into left
Lee and Ely scoring. Ryan went out sec
ond to first, but Delehanty's single scored
Ortiz and Doyle. 1t was then up to Keister,
| but the best he could do was hit to
Howell, Delehanty being forced out at sec
| ond, and the game was over.
