Pitcher McGinnity, whose admirers
call him the iron man" must have
been out in the rain Friday night. for he
was certainly very rusty yesterday in
the Washington Baltimore game, ir

II will be recalled that Orth essayed
to do pitching stunts the other day in
Baltimore. and Kelley, Robinson, ct al.
swooped down upon him and lambasted
his REST clrves until Albert Edward
wished they would quit. Then on the
following day Albert Edward though; he
was able to fool the Bats. and asked
that he lie allowed TO go in and demon

And it will also be recalled that once
more did the Oriole fellows give Albert

But yesterday Albert Edward was

Saturday half holiday smile, and in
stead OF being the sickly grin displayed
al Baltimore on two days earlier in the
week, it was joyous, angelic. in
Eeni1us sort OF a smile that frequently
displayed his pearly molars especially
as the visiting hitters made savage at
tompts to put the little ball out OF
business, and only succeeded in strain
ing their arms.
-Four hits is 4 pretty good sort of a
record for any pitcher TO come out with
in a contest with such strong hitters
as are on the Baltimore team, yet this
was Colonel Orth's record for the event
at the American Park yesterday.
Time and again did it look as if there
would be an increase in the single tally
accredited TO the visitors, but Orth kept

elusive shoots and benders, that either
went to the infieId on easy bounds or
popped up to the outheld, there to be
taken care of by Ryan, Delehanty, and
Lee. each of whom made good catches
.n his particular territory.
Visitors Make Triple Play.
The first triple play that has been
pulled off this season on the local
grounds fell to the lot OF the BaItimores.
Il happened in the third inning when

Jack Doyle smashed out a cracker, that
sounded good for triple. Instantly the
base occupants dashed toward home.
Unfortunately for them. however, the
ball went speeding directly toward Sec

and threw to Gilbert at second, retiring
orth Then the ball was whisked over
to Joe Kelley at first before Ryan could
return TO the bag, putting out three
Senators IN about quarter of min

The play was handled perfectly by the
trio OF orioles, and was greeted with
much applause.

No more local runs came in until the

had flied to Seymour, Coughlin drew

filed by McGlnnity cracking Carey in
the ribs with an inshoOt.
