bit of luck a big chunk of old bunta-
ton and such ginger as not seen in many
day combined to bring victory yesterday
to the Orioles on their own grounds over
the Senators-S to 1. Manager McGraw sat
in the grand stand as spectator
and watched what will probably be
the last game he will see in Balti-
more. Just SIS though to show what
they could do without him the Baltimores
jumped into the game to play like real
artists and not like mere hired men. Gro
min was the Oriole pitcher. and he held up
his end so admirably that the Senator'S
barely escaped another shut out.
For six innings the game was wind
splitter, with each side scoring but one
run and the crowd keyed up to expect some
sort of crash. For the six innings the
Orioles had been outtielding and outma-
neuvering the Senators at the bat. but luck
broke all the wrong way and they could
not get started. but they cheerfully kept
up their snappy and scientific method of
play and reward came in full measure In
the seventh inning.
In the seventh a surprise party was
sprung on the Senators in the way of bunt-
ing. and after the smoke of it had cleared
away Clarke, WOlVertOn and Orth thought
that a cyclone had passed near them.
Kelley began the harvest of runs in the
seventh with a straight hit into center field.
Setback dispatched low. hard drive to
center. 1t was a difficult ball, and Ryan so
thoroughly misjudged it that it went over
his head for two bases to center.
Then Began the Bunts.
Then began the fun. Williams dumped
one down toward Orth, who was so vexed
that he hit Williams in the back with the
ball and Jimmy went down to second on
the poor throw McGann let easy one
go to Wolverton, who made a hopeless and
bad throw to first, giving Williams
chance to score, Kelley and Selbach hay
ing scored the hits and Orths error
Then Seymour and Robinson dropped neat
hunts and beat them. Bresnahan tried the
same thing, but could do no better than
force Mccain at the plate. Gilbert and
CrOnin made good with clean singles, and
at the clean up of the inning six runs on
| eight hits and the two errors had resulted.
| and the Orioles knew that they had won
| the game.
Orth had but the one bad inning and that
| was caused solely by the application of
| brains to the batting of the Baltimore
team. Excepting for an error by Seymour,
the Orioles played faultlessly, and they ac-
cepted all sorts of difficult chances. Orth
had been made a mark of in Monday S
game, and he told Manager Lotus that he
felt good enough to win out yesterday. and
! he might have done so had the Birds taken
| turns trying to kill the ball, as they have
so often to their cost in the past. Instead
| of that they tried all the finer points of
| the inside and played the sort of game tuat
| delights the sensitive rooter.
| The Feature Plays.
| But for brilliant fielding the sixth might
! have been disastrous to Cronin. In that in
| ming the Senators made their only run.
| Orth began it by working pass and Ryan
| hit to left. Doyle dropped the ball to Gro
| min, who made a quick play to third, cut
| ting off Orth at that base. Delehanty sent
| clipping hit past Bresnahan and Ryan
| scored. Bresnahan returned the ball TO
| Robinson, who saw that Delehanty was
| off first, and, by an unerring throw down
| caught Del. off. Doyle tried to take ad-
| vantage of the play to rush to third, but
| Mccain sent the ball over to Gilbert, and
| Dashing Jack was it. The two plays that
thus retired the side We're made with neat
ness and dispatch. and were the show fea-
lures of the game.
The score.
