made up his mind to go after the game
himself. for he put on steam and struck
out the three batsmen in one-two-three or
der. This work sort of livened up the Sen
ators and thereafter there was nothing to
Il. every man on the team getting one or
more hits, and Townsend remaining work
was easy.
The milwaukee twirIer, Hastings,
seemed unusually good at the start. but he
evidently is short of work, for he tired
badly and had little in the way of speed or
curves. But Manager Collins believes in
working his men into condition, and after
remain on the rubber and take his medi-
cine. Hastings experience was very much
like Dineen's on the opening day and Billy
CarrickS IN Thursdays contest. These
three men are good twirlers. but 1t takes
the good. hot weather to bring out their
best work
Captain Ed. Delehanty' was feeling quite
good yesterday and for the first time this
spring hit into left field like the "DeP' of
old. Two singles and triple was his days
record. and he led the team at the bat, his
three-baSger being especially worthy of no.
tice- Ryan. Keister, Wolverton and Ely
also batted well, and Jack Townsend made
his first hit with three on bases and brought
in runs.
Keister's Star Play.
In the field Keister pulled off the star
play by getting La Chances long fly In the
fifth inning and prevented a. run being
scored. Billy has the old Mike Griffin way
OF going after fly, and the spectators gen.
orally hold their breath until the ball has
landed safely in his hands. The position is
rev To keister, but he has demonstrated
that he can cover lots of ground, and only
needs to get his hands on the bail to make
Il sure out. Catcher Drill once more put up
q good game behind the bat, and as vet
shows no signs of wear and tear from his
continuous work. The young man is of the
stDcky build. and the chances are that he
viii be able to stand lots OF work
Six Of the BOstons went to the bat in
the first inning. but poor base running and
clever handling of the ball prevented any
rams being scored. In the second Warner
sent his line ny into right that got away
rom Ryan and went down as triple. while
Hastings got three bases on his good hit
into lett. the former scoring, while the lat
1 came home on a long fly out TO right.
In the fourth the Senators chased three
runs over the plate and assumed the lead.
Ryan walked and came all the way home
on keisterS double to the club house. VOL
Terton repeated the hit and Keister scored
Delehanty then hunted safely, sending VOL
/ Nerton tC third. from which point he scored
as Collins made mess of Carey's ground
er. II looked like a sure out, but Jimmy
can ma Ike the little misplay we'll as the
other players.
The Score Tied.
Boston tied the score in the fifth as the
(
wild pitch that went TO the grand stand.
In the sixth the smuggling bee came off
and when the smoke had cleared away the
Senators had made eight runs The Wash
tngtons had twelve men to the bat. made
only five hits, but they were mixed with
errors and counted double Delehanty OPEN
ed with hit to right, but Coughlin forced
him out at second. Carey hit into right for
q triple. and Ely, Drill. Townsend and
Ryan followed in rapid succession with sa fa
hits
In the seventh three more tallies came
HashinSton's way Drill was given a base
on balls and scored on singles by RYAN
and keister. La Chance made a weird
throw TO third to catch Ryan. and the bases
Z were cleared. In the eighth inning Cough
linn reached first on nice single his first
! of the game. Stahl then missed Carey's
/ long fly and double steal followed. DriI
I drew another base on balls. and as RYAN
was also favored Coughlin was forced
, home.
