HIT THE BALL HARD

The Newark base ball club made its first
appearance in Washington yesterday after
noon, and in an eight-inning game at Amer
lean League Park the Senators won out by
the one-sided score of Is to 8. The game
practically illustrated the value Of good
pitchers to a ball club. Garoney. who was
on the rubber for four innings, lacked
speed and effectiveness, with the result that
the Washington players knocked the ball
all over the field. Moriarity then went on
the rubber for the Newarks, and, allowing
but one hit for three innings, only two runs
were scored. Al. Orth pitched the first
five innings for the Senator's and for four
innings the visitors failed to score. In the
fifth Ortiz let up in his delivery, with the
result that the youngsters were quick to
appreciate his kindness, and batted three
runs over the plate. Jack Townsend re-
lieved Orth in the sixth inning. and blanks
came the Newarks' way for the rest of the
game. The Senators are credited with hay-
ing five of the best twirlerS in the Amer1-
can League, and should this opinion hold
good during the season, there Is no reason
why Washington shouldn't hold its own at
all stages of the championship race.
Catcher Drill went behind the bat in
Washington uniform for the first time since
he signed a contract with Manager Lotus.
This young mans work was the feature Of
the game Orth and Townsend possess con-
siderable speed in their deliveries and their
styles are totally different, yet Drill handled
them to perfection, not passed ball mar
ring his work in the eight innings. AT the
bat Drill failed to get hit, but he goes
after the ball in the right way and drove
several flies to the outfield that took swift
sprintS to get under He get on the bases
once as a result of an error and his display
of foot work for a heavy man was some
thing remarkable.
Good Practice.
In the way of practice yesterdays game
was a good one for the Senators. 1t seemed
as if everybody was hitting the ball hard,
and if it didn't go safe they generally got on
the bases through errors, with the result
that the Senators had the much needed leg
work that generally puts the player in good
condition. The ground is very hard at
present and several of the men are very
sore, but this is only natural in spring prac-
tice and the men will quickly round to with
the warm days.
The Game.
The Senators started off with two runs
in the first inning, added two more in the
second and one in the third. In the fourth
the Newarks went all to pieces in their
fielding and as the Senators took advantage
of the decentralization to hammer the ball
for keeps eleven runs were chalked up be-
fore the last man had been retired Mo-
riority then went the rubber and the
Senators were shut out. but in the sixth two
more runs were added to the score, total
ing eighteen
Jordan who was with the Senators for
short time last season, played first for the
Newarks, and Mcintyre, who was with
COMFY Mack's Athletics last year, was in
left. Mcintyre sneaked in a home run
Keister loafed after the ball and the hit
tailed up three runs. Yesterdays game can
hardly be taken as a good criterion upon
which to size up the Newark club The
pitching was bad. and as a result the team
their feet, but lack ability the bat
unless Orth and Townsend were particu-
larly good.
The same teams play again this after
noon and tomorrow afternoon. Following
is the score of yesterdays game:
