The "Blue Birds from Cleveland once
more flew away with game from the Sen
ators yesterday afternoon, the score being
6 to in their favor when the ten innings
had been concluded. Although favored with
luck al every stage Of the route, the Cleve-
lands put up the best ball and won the
game on it's merits. Not semblance Of a
Inisplay did the boys in blue make, but on
the contrary their infleld worked like a
well-oied piece of machinery and nothing
but base hits got away from the outfield-
ers.
The Senators, on the contrary, started
the game as though weighted down with
balls and chains and for four innings did
nothing in the hitting or run scoring line.
This style OF play is usual with a team that
possesses bunch of hard hitters, they
go on the theory that they will get started
and finally knock out a victory. The Lof-
tusites did nothing remarkable in the field
yesterday and their failure to hit together
is responsible for the small score.
Mr.. Bernhard, the young gentleman, who
has figured prominently in the papers as
Lajoie's side partner, was on the rubber for
Cleveland and worked splendidly, the Sem
ators marching up to the plate and return
ing to the bench with regularity that was
most depressing to the enlookers. In the
fifth inning the locals began finding the ball
and from that time out the hits were more
frequent
Opposed to Bernhard was ALBERT Ed
ward Orth. and this clever twirler got his
bumps all through the game. Many of
the safe hits were of the lucky sort, but
there is no denying the fact that Mr.. Orth
has pitched several games that were more
to his credit than yesterdays exhibition.
Every twirler in the business has been told
that Lajoie and Delehanty cannot hit a
slow ball and yesterday, Orth gave the
Frenchman one of this sort to look at As
a result the sphere went sailing over the
left field fence and Larry got his first home
run of the season on the local grounds. La
joie has been hitting poorly in Washington,
but the home run drive Frightened him up
and later on he, tore off double.
Cleveland got down to work in the very
first inning, scoring one run. After Bay
had flied out to Lee, Bradley hit for a
tripe to the center field fence. Lajoie then
popped up little fly to Ely and the sit
uation looked fairly good until Coughlin
allowed Hickman's grounder to get away
from him, the misplay giving Bradley a
run. Flick closed the inning with line
fly to Keister.
This winning work of the Cleveands was
continued in the second and the spectators
began to get fidgety, as the Senators ap-
peared to be anchored. Mccarthy started
off with two-base hit into right, ard
Goshnauer pulled off a rather humorous
base hit He tried to sacrifice Mccarthy
to third. and Orth was aware Of his inten-
tions. After pitching a slow ball, Orth
started for the plate to get the intended
bunt, but instead a little fly gracefully
sailed over his head, and before the bail
could be recovered Goshnauer was safe on
first and Mccarthy on third. Wood hit
second and getting put out himself at first,
and while the play was being made Nc
Carthy raced home.
This ended the scoring for couple of
N M
work again, Lajoie's home run doing the
trick.
This placed the score at to O, and the
Senators evidently decided 1t was time to
begin work. Coughlin got lAtle fly back
| of third base that could not be reached by
Bradley, Goshnauer or Mccarthy, and was
safe safe on on second when the ball came back
into play. Lee went out, short to first, and
Coughlin reached third. "Old Reliable"
Ely followed with timely drive into left
| for single. and Scranton Bill" scored.
There was nothing doing In the sixth,
but everybody stood UP in the seventh in
Guiding one patriotic lady. and as a result
the lucky inning turned out two runs for
the Senator's. and the score was tied. THE
Only Del opened up with triple the bali
banging against the club house. Keister
made beautiful bunt toward third. but
out on a good throw to first. Delehanty
scoring on the play. All the blue legs laid
back for Coughlin. and he thought 1t was
time for bunt, which he placed on the
ground In an artistic manner. Bill tried to
steal second, but Woods good throw to
La1oie nailed him by a hair. Upon this
play the loss of the game Is placed, almost
everybody on the grounds believing Cough
lin had stolen the base Umpire Johnstone
stood right over both men, and probably
got the play right. 1t was one Of those
close plays that could go to either side
without making much of a miss, and 1t was
the Senators bad luck that Johnstone saw
| 1t the wrong way. Wyatt Lee followed
with beautiful drive over Bays head and
only the quickest OF fielding held the Sena-
tor on third. Once more that celebrated
pinch" hitter, Mr.. Fred Ely came to the
front with his second safe drive into left
field. and Lee raced home with the tieing
run.
| Both sides were retired with blanks in
the eighth and ninth innings but in The
tenth the Clevelands got very busy with
their. little bats, and enough runs were
scored to win the game hands down. Hick-
man started off with single to right, and
Flick also pla ced safe one In the same
territory. Mccarthy tried to sacrifice but
instead forced Hickman at third through
Orths quick throw to Coughlin Goch-
nauer followed with a high fly into short
left that Ely, Delehanty and Ryan tried
| for but the ball fell safe and then bounded
badly, with the result that Flick and Nc
Carthy raced home and the batter rested
| on third. Wood followed with an ugly
bounder toward Keister, and while he was
being put out at first Gochnauer scored,
bernhard shut on the agony with fly to
| Deiehanty.
When the Senators took their last turn at
| the bat Bernhard left out link or two.
| and Ely, Clarke and Orth were retired In
| quick order.
Following is the official score:
| CLEVELAND. WASHINGTON
