The Washington times., 1902-05-24

for Clarke and made Delehanty rub his
head and wonder IL the Admiral intends
to keep II up.
Apropos OF hitting. that young man
Heidrick. from ST. Louis, did some hit
ting himself yesterday. He lined up at
the plate on FIVE separate occasions and
laced the ball out of reach Of any of
the local crowd four times.
And for a modest hammered. unassun-
ing, ambitious young twirler like Harp
er, record of three hits out Of four
chances is nothing to be ashamed Of.
jesse Burkett got triple and single
and Anderson, the strapping first base
man, pounded out trio of one-baggers.
How the Runs Were Made.
The Browns were first to bat and
Burkett signalized the opening Of the
game by slamming a three-bagger into
left center. Heidrick followed with a
pretty single that went between Carey
and Coughlin. and Burkett trotted home.
Mccormick placed a neat sacrifice in
the infeld. on which Heidrick took sec
ond, the visiting third baseman being
thrown out at first by Patten. Then
long Anderson came along with safety
past second and Heidrick scored. An
derson stole second, but was left there,
as Padden went out on a fly to right
and Wallace. who had been given his
base, was caught between second and
third.
Wolverton knocked a pretty single
between left and center In the first
half for Washington. and got as far as
second on a steal. but Delehanty and
Keister went out on flies.
IN the second inning, however, Cough
lin stepped gayly up TO the plate,
glanced over his left shoulder, and, OBJ
serving the approach of an ominous-
looking black cloud that threatened to
result In a cataclysm at any moment,
resolved TO anticipate It, He caught one
OF Harper's swift ones and the ball went
sailing into the cloud. puncturing it so
thoroughly that il began to drizzle.
Carey followed UP this good beginning
by slamming the leather into the dark
ened atmosphere and the rain fell a
bit faster, while Coughlin tailed. Ely
went out on a grounder to first, and
then the rain fell SO fast that the UNI
pire called time.
Wet Grounds Helped Locals.
When play was resumed at the end of
a half-hour, the Senators benefited by
the wet condition of the grounds and
several hits were registered for them
due In large measure to the inability
of the st. Louis players to retain their
feet. Result. FIVE runs.
st. Louis runs in the ninth were made
after two men were out Harper knocked
a little punk hit toward Patten. which
the pitcher tried to get, but before he
could get his hands on the ball Harper
was on first PatteD, not to be denied a
possible assist. however, threw the ball
toward Carey and IL went out to the
bleachers. A well meaning but mis-
guided fan got hold of IL and threw to
Carey, who promptly tossed II to Pat
ten, and Harper remained at second.
There was kick on the part OF Nc
Aleer's men, but Sheridan kept the St.
Louis pitcher at second.
Burkett knocked a grounder to Carey.
who threw to third to head off Harper,
and he got his man, Burkett reaching
first. Heidrick followed with a hit. and
then Mccormick hit to Wolverton. who
made a beautiful stop and threw the
runner out at first, Burkett and Held
rick each advancing a base. Anderson
was told to hit IL out" by Manager Nc
Aleer. and he did. two runs crossing
the plate, which lost Washington the
game. Wallace brought in Anderson with
D three Dagger TO center.
This is how II was done:
