Box-Notes of the Game

1t would hardly be just to the Wash
. ington ball club TO say that they out
tucked the Chicago White Sox in yester-
days game. Yet Griffith can. with good
reason, claim that the defeat of his pets
was due to i'll luck. Chicago outbatted
the Senators, so far as the total hits are
concerned. having five more safeties to
their credit than the home team, and in
the field the visitors made one less error
than the locals.
The victory Of the Senators was due TO
a bunching of hits in one inning and the
timely home run of Delehanty in an
other, together with the misfortune of
Callahan in giving two bases on balls,
both OF which counted for runs.
1t was sleepy sort of game. There
was nothing out of the ordinary to
arouse the crowd, no star plays and 10
juggling for the lead. The one bit of ex-
citement was occasioned in the first in
ming, when the visiting players engaged
in a vigorous piece of kicking, which
eliminated in the Little Corporal,
Clarke Griffith. being ordered from the
grounds by Umpire Johnstone
Griffith Ordered Out.
One OF Orth's shoots struck Green's
bat close to his hand and bounded off
toward the pitchers box. orth threw to
first, Johnstone declaring Green out.
The outielder started toward the bench,
but when Griffith came running out to-
ward the plate he took the tip and i'm
mediately hegan to hug his hand, claim
ing that the BAH had hit him.
Crit. rushed UP. and taking hold Of
one Of Green's fingers. made show OF
pulling it into joint. This didn't have
the slightest effect on Johnstone, who
was at once surrounded by the Chicago
men, all clamoring that Green had been
hit and was entitled to his base Grlf-
fifth was the leader in the kicking. and
he was so persistent that Johnstone told
him TO sit down.
OF course Griffith didn't sit down: he
only protested the harder Finally
Johnstone said, See here. Griffith. me-
thinks thou doth protest too much.
Griffith was not Of the same opinion, and
said. Get out and of the grounds. 4"
The manager-capta had to go. He
went out behind the grandstand for a
moment and then he reappea-ed and sat
on the lower seat of The right-Geld
bleachers, from which place he watched
the remainder Of the game. Nothing
more was heard from him, however, dur
ing the balance of the play.
To big Ed. Delehanty is due most of
the credit for winning yesterdays game. /
II was he who came along in the first
inning with a two-bagger that sent Ry-
an home; it was he who sent lee home |
ahead Of him in the fifth. when he placed |
the ball over the fence for homer. and /
it was he who sent in the same man IN |
the seventh with two bagger TO right. /
Indeed. Del. was about the whole show |
yesterday, although, OF course. the other
players had a hand in the game
Clarke Absent From Game.
Bill Clarke was absent from the
catchers box. having been called 10
Baltimore, and Lew Drill donned the
mask and pad. The ex-collegian caught
fine game. and lined out two daisy
singles. one Of which drove home a run
in the second inning. and on which Drill
himself scored later
Callahan, who started in to pitch for
Chicago on Wednesday, told Griffith
yesterday that he didn't display his
true form in the previous game, and
said he would like to go in the box /
again and show the people of Washing
ton that he Is not yet eligible for the
"has-been" ranks. And Callahan pitched
q good game; one that ordinarily would
have won; but luck was forninst him
and he lost.
Orth. on the other hand. twirled !
much better game than a casual glance
at the score would Indicate. Although !
the visitors made thirteen hits off his /
henders, tEey were 50 scattered that buJ IL
few runs resulted. Chicago hit safely ia !
every inning but one, yet in no one
turn at the bat could they pound out
more than two safe ones. 1t was this /
scattering OF hits that kept the run ,

Ryan Retires.
In the fifth inning Jimmy Ryan was 4
compelled 10 retire from the game, and /
general shifting OF the players resulted. 7
Carey was brought in to play first, Doyle !
went to second and Keister to right. !
while Lee took Ryan's place in center.
Ryan was Obliged to quit because OF
very bad charley horse from which he is
suffering. He was the first man up in
the fifth. and hit a slow grounder 20
