Locals Support Him Well in the Field.

Some eleven hundred baseball cranks
trudged out to the American League
park yesterday afternoon to see the
Senator's play their farewell games with
the rejuyenated Baltimore aggregation.
Although the fans thought the Lotus
tribe would win the two games. such
was not the case. and the faithful had
to be content with seeing their ia
yorites split the double header with
their rivals from the Monumental City.
1t was ladies' day, and this, coupled
with the two games, brought out more
rooters than would have ordinarily
the close of the season
The statesmen could not solve Wiltse's
delivery in the first game, and were
forced to bow in defeat before the
bunch of ball tossers from Oystertown,
by a score of to A.
There are two ways for accounting fer
their defeat. The best way to put it.
is to say that they could not solve the
puzzling delivery. The Senators did
not realize that they were not in a
ping-pong match until it was too late.
A Walkaway for Locals.
The second game was a walkaway
for the local lads, and nightmare to
: the Baltimore chaps particularly one
Mr. Ross. who received bumps as he
never did before. His delivery was
assaulted in every inning by the slug
ging Senators. Captain Robinson did
not take Ross from the center of the
diamond, but compelled him to stay in
and take his medicine. After the Sen
ators got through with Ross delivery,
it looked like half-chewed Goldfish
ball in three-cent lunch room.
When the score. cards were consulted
at the end of the game, the Senators
had fourteen chalk marks in the first
column, while the Baltimoreans could
show only a paltry three. Townsend
pitched the winning game.
The first game began at o'clock. and
Col. Wyatt Lee was called in from the
tall timbers. and ordered to get his
business wing in working order. He
sauntered in TO do the twirling, and
although he received several knocks
during the first four innings, the only
sessions in which the visitors scored
any runs, he settled down after that
and prevented them from scoring any
more counters. He not only prevented
any further scoring. but did not allow
hit after The fourth inning
'Bill'' Clark had charge of the re-
ceiver's end of the battery. and put up
fine exhibition. None of the visitors
attempted to steal to any bases. for
they know too much,
Bones" Ely put up fast and snappy
game at short, and although he had a
lot of chances and his troubles were
many, he did not make anything that
bore any semblance TO a miscue. Carey
had things coming his way and con-
tributed one black mark to the last
column on the score card. Orth was
placed out in right garden and did some
superb fly catching there.
Orth Makes Good Catch.
In the seventh inning Jones raped
a high foul fly down TO the end of the
right field bleachers, and Smiling Az
ambled after it He ran into the
cnto the leather, making the prettiest
catch of the game. Ryan had few
chances to distinguish himself down il
deep center and acquitted himself in ex-
ceIlent style.
The Senators could not hit Wiltse's
elusive bendcrs with much success, Del
ehauty being the only one, and he sue
ceeded in pounding out two safe drives,
one OF them being good for two sacks.
The game WIS a fast one, four double
plays being made during its action. Two
were made by the localities. and the
Baltimoreans also did the trick twice
In She sixth inning Jones made SEN
sational stop when keister raped a hot
one down to him. Delehanty was on
first at the time aad Jones tagged him
and hustled the leather over TO Wiltse
in time to cut Keister off al the first
kopie.
Howell, who PLAYED short for :he
visitors, put up star exhibition n the
field. He had nine chances and man
aged to accept eight of them. He cut off
about five hits by his fast fielding. Del

The visitors found Lee for safe hits

quently when they did not need them.
Williams stalked up to the plate in the
first inning, and, after looking over the
first two or three balls that Lee tossed
over, he picked out one TO his liking and
placed it in the pond beyond the con-
fines Of the park. This was the first
run for the visitors.
Five hits and an error by Doyle gave
them four more in the second. and an
other figure four was placed on the
score board at the conclusion of the
fourth session. -Four singles and base
on balls gave them these runs. Lee re-
gained his old-time form by this time
and did not allow them hit after the
fourth.
The Senators could not score until the
fourth inning. Delchanty got two- |
