and the Orioles were running a neck and
neck race with the Senator's with one run
each until the seventh inning was reached.
The Goddess of Luck began to smile on the
Orioles. all the Graf. seemed to leave Wyatt
Lees good left arm, and it fairly rained
base hits for a few minutes. When the
third hand had been retired the score board
boy hung up five runs and the Senator'S
hopes of victory went glmmerng
Manager LOTUS thought Lee would pitch
better game on the home grounds and de-
cided to keep Al Orth until today's contest
in Baltimore. Lee had all his speed but
to the shrewd observer it was seen that the
Orioles We're hitting all his curves from the
very start, but luck and good fielding kent
the visitors from tallying more than one
run. W heneVer a Baltimore player reached
first Mr. Lee seemed to take more inter
est in the runner than he did in the batter
with the result dhat he frequently got him
self into tight place through wide pitch
ing and either had to put the sphere over
the plate and be hit give a base on balls
Still. with all this combination of unfor-
tunate circumstances, the Orioles could get
only one run over the plate for six innings
Opposed to Lee the rubber was the
well known twirler known as Iron Man
McGlnnlty. an appellation gained through
pltchlng the Brooklyn club into the cham
plohShlp some seasons gone by. McGinnity
was at his best and in addition was given
support that was nothing if not phenome-
nal Second Baseman Williams had two mis-
plays ana McGraw fumbled hot grounder
but the former cut off an apparently safe
mt INTO right at a time when a batting
| rally seemed imminent and probably saved
the game thereby. Keister had reached
hrSt on safe hit.well stopped by Williams
but poorly thrown, and gone to second on
the error. Harry WolvertOn then caught
one of McGinnity'S slow outcurves on the
end OF his bat and whisked it towards right
field a a lightning gait Williams seemed
to dive after the ball immedia tely after il
| left the bat, stuck out his left hand the
sphere stuck and the batter was easily mt
out at first keister was stopped at third
and few minutes later Deehanty drove a
magnificent hit ball direct into the hands of
Gilbert at short, double play resulting
Ihls inning looked awfuly good for the
Senators for a few minutes
Then again another ex-senator Roger
ahan. refused to allow a batting rally
start. by running almost up against the
center field fence and pulling down Dele
cent play and the spectators were Impartial
enough TO cheer the catch for several min
utes.
Two other ex-Senators. Setback and Nc
Gam, were very much in the game the
former getting a double and q tripIe and
the latter two singles and double Sell

game started and it is to be hoped that he

Second Baseman Coughlin sort of gave
Selbach showing up in the first inning by
springng the old hidden ball trick on the
ex-senator Coughlin halls from Pennsyl-
vania. where a good joke is always re-
membered and repeated at FREQUENT inter
walls Yesterday Bill concluded it was about
time to retell this sterling old moss-back
Joke at SelbachS expense. and the latter
| took the bait like a hungry pike McGraw
was the first batter up in the first inning
and got first on balls. Selbach drove ont q
magnificent fly that rolled to the center
Held fence and stopped at second McGraw
anchoring on third. Ryan passed the baIl
| into Coughlin and it disappeared, all the
| players facing about and watching Lee get
ing ready to work. Like a pretty innocent
country maiden. Setback stroIIed off the
! second base and Coughlin was down on
| him in second something like a hungry
| hawk diving for chicken. Luckily I'm
| pire OLaughlin witnessed the play and Sol
Dach was declared out amid the gleeful wells
| or the spectators. The next two batters
| went out, but McGraw scored while the
| second man was being retired on a long fiy
| to Ryan. -
The Senators got this run back in the
