A sum total of "a hits for 33 bases made
by Washington's heavy hitters yesterday
afternoon, tells the story of the downfall
of Mr.. katoll and the Orioles in the first
game at home since their return from their
awful western journey. 1t also explains
why the victors piled up Is runs-13 of
them being earned-to Baltimore's single
lonely tally. The fact that only two Balti-
more players were able to land safely on
the ball for a single apiece also contributes
to the explanation of the result
Pitcher Lee a tower of strength for
Washington and proved Chinese puzzle
of the most intricate kind to the Orioles,
while the Washingtons could and did hit
KatOu hard and often and had the time of
their lives Watching the luckless Oriole
fieIders chasing the ball all over the lot.
The four errors made by Robbie's men had
no appreciaDle effect on the result. 1t was
simply a case of hammer, hammer, ham,
mer. with katoll the anvil.
The .319 spectators sat and dOzed, Occa-
siOnally waking up to cry, Take him outi'
when one of katolis curves met with a
particularly hard fate, such as being banged
against the center field fence for three
bagger.
At first the spectators thought they were
going to see an interesting game, and two
the third and fourth innings strengthened
the impression. In the third Ely singled
and Drill hit d grOunder toward first. Jones
gathered it in. but Williams and katoll
both tried to cover the bag, with the result
that katoI ran into Williams. and the ball,
which was thrown by Jones, got lost in the
shuttle, Ely taking second. Ely was out
at third on Lees force hit. Doyle hit to
Williams, who threw to Gilbert, catching
Drill at second, and then Gilbert threw to
Jones, catching Doyle, and retiring the side.
In the fourth inning came a double play
not often seen. Ryan singled to center
and then Delehanty hit a sharp one to
Jones. who threw to Gilbert in time to head
off Ryan, and Gilbert got the ball back to
Jones in clever style. doubling Delehanty
at the initial bag.
Until the beginning Of the fifth inning
the spectators had nothing to complain of.
Three hits had been made on katoll. but
no runs had been scored, and the play had
been snappy and fast. In the fifth, how
ever, the Washingtons made the unhappy
discovery that katOu was an easy thing,
and then his troubles began. Singles by
COughlin. Drill, Lee and Doyle, in combi-
nation with tumble by Selbach and a bad
throw by Arndt, netted three runs. The
tale was repeated. with painful variations.
in the sixth
Delehanty and Keister each picked out a
nice one and made a three-bagger. Keister
scoring on COughlin's single, Carey came
along with another single and Coughlin
short to first. and Lee scored Carey with a
single, being left on Doyle's fly to center.
The seventh was worse yet. A triple,
two doubles and two singles netted five
runs, and five singles in the eighth added
three more tallies to the score.
Baltimore's single run came in the sixth
inning, the portly manager figuring as the
star, assisted by Williams. Robinson made
neat single and went to second on Ka-
tolls sacrifice. Selbach was out, second to
nrst' and then Williams hit safely to right
held His ambition, however was greater
than his discretion. and he was caught at
second trying to stretch his hit into two
bagger. Robbie, however, had scored in the
meantime.
The fielding of the Orioles was good
enough, but they could make no stand
against the fusillade of hits Gilberts field
ing was particularly creditable for he ac-
cepted an even dozen chances without an er-
rcT. Score:
