The law of Cleveland prevents ball play
Ing on Sunday. and as result the Wash
inston and Cleveland clubs were moved on
to Fort Wayne. Ind. yesterday for their
regular scheduled game. Over 1900 per-
sons turned out to witness the game. which
went to Cleveland by the score of g to 4.
The Fort Wayne enthusiasts were some
what taken aback when 81 was demanded
for the best seats to witness the game, but
the attractive power of Lajoie was too
much to pull against, and over 1000 passed
through the gates.
The Clevelands played perfect ball yester-
day, in direct contrast to their sorry exhi-
bition at home Saturday, and as a result
the Senators were trailing from the start.
Not error marked the work of the Spi-
ders. and in addition they were lucky to
get their hits mixed up with Washington's
errors.
willie Carrick was on the rubber for
Washington, and as he hadn't been worked
for over week he was wild as a March
hare. Carrick had won three games right
off the reel for Manager Lotus. and was
beginning to show his true form when he
was put on the shelf. Yesterday Carrick
had three wild pitches and. in addition,
helded his position poorly, demonstrating
that he Is once more out Of FORM and all
the previous training has gone for nothing.
Carrick is one of the sort who needs lots of
work, and game a week will rarely
find him in winning form Wolverton and
Drill were the other Senators who Joined
Carrick in the error column. When Car
rick's record of the day-three wild pitches,
three errors and six bases on ballS-are
summed up 1t Is hardly to be expected that
the WaShington's would win.
After the Senators had been retired in the
first inning Flick got his first on balls, stole
second. went to third on a wild pitch and
scored on a passed ball. This work by the
Washington battery was somewhat weird,
to say the least. In the second inning
ond on a wild pitch and scored on Picker
ing's safe hit into right. After being shut
out in the third Cleveland again tailed in
the fourth. Gochnauer was given pass to
first and came all the way home on Car
ricks wild throw to first of Bemis little
bunt. In the sixth two more runs went up
for Cleveland. making the total to 0,
Washington being unable to get man over
the plate.
In the seventh the Senator's awoke in real
characteristic style, and for a few minutes
made things hum. Keister opefed the ball
with a drive, good for two bases, toward
rattle Joss and Coughlin and Carey were
given passes TO first Lee waited patiently
and another pass was given out, keiSter
being forced home with WashiIgton's first
run. Bill Clarke then soaked the leather
for two bases. Coughlfn and Carey scoring.
Carrick laid down a nice bunt, and on a
wild throw by Joss the bases were filled
again. Wolverton could only send up a
little fly to short. and Drill ended the rally
with a strike out.
In the eighth Keister hit for double and
scored Washingtons last run on Lees safe
drive to right. Keister did the best batting
for the Washingtons, with two doubles, and
Lee was next. with two singles.
Pitcher Joss, Bay, Flick, Hickman and
Gochnauer were former members of the In
terstate League and played in Fort Wayne.
their reception in consequence being most
cordial.
