There was as much difference between
the playing of the Washington baseball
team yesterday and the game put up the
day before as there is between the
swirling Niagara and the placid pond
the other side OF the left field fence,
into which visiting batters sometimes
knock the leather. The Senators were
in the game for keeps yesterday; they
played the game as it should be played
in fact, they played much after the
manner the Cleveland club played on
Monday, and the result was: Washing
ton. Z: Cleveland, /.
Keep it up, boys. and the fans will be
with you all the time.
1t was a raw. chilling wind that swept
over the diamond when the gong sound
Two thousand spectators sat in the
grandstand and bleachers and shivered
through the nine innings.
The game was what the baseball critic
would call a pitchers battle for FIVE
innings. Case Patten, who occupied the
rubber for the Senators, loaded up his
Maxim rapid-fre battery, and the balls
he put in over the plate went sizzling
by the Cleveland batsmen with so much
speed that the heavy hitters from the
Forest City could not connect for a
minute.
The victory of the home team was due
IN a large measure to Patterns superb
work in the box; yet the Senatorial
batsmen, after they had worked the
combination to Moore's delivery in the
sixth inning, went at the lank twirler's
curves in manner that delighted the
fans. and made them forget the dinlsy
little punks they have been used to see
ing fall from the bats of the home play
ers.

Senators Get Busy.

Wolverton almost made a circuit OF
the bases in the fifth inning on errors
by Woods and Gochnauer, but was left
there. In the sixth, however. the Sen
ators began to get busy. Coughlin, tha
first man up, went out on fly to Hemp
hill, but Carey drove a nice hit into
left field. Ely flied out to Pickering,
and Clarke came along with a long
two-bagger to right center. which scor-
ed Carey. The sailor went to third
on Patterns scratch hit. and came home
on Ryan's fine drive past second.
In the seventh. wolverton began by
knocking fly to Pickering. and then
and 1t landed OFT on the clubhouse
steps. Delehanty got as far as third
base, and was about to stop there, but
the Cleveland fielders got little mixed
up In their playing, and the Washing
ton captain kept on home. Keister
took hand in the game. and hit a
single past second; went to second on
passed ball. and scored on Carey's two
base hit to right.
Clarke opened the eighth inning with
d ioHs t"o-Ddsstr 10 let nelu. fatten
remembered that he had made a hit
on his previous time at the bat and
struck out; but Ryan came along with
his third single of the game, and Clarke
scored. The blonde center-felder took
second on the throw-in TO catch Clarke,
and third on Wolverton's hit. on which
the third baseman got two bases. Ryan
scored on Delehanty's hot one that
Moore could not stop, but which Coch-
nauer succeeded in pinching. Keister
ended the inning by going out on a fly
TO Flick.

was won:

Very Much in the Game.

Sailor Clarke was again at the helm
and steered the Senatorial bark into
swiftly-moving waters, which landed
them safe and sound on the shores of
victory.
There is no question that Clarke has
greatly strengthened the home team.
He il was who came to the rescue at a
critical time in the sixth inning and
with a nicely PLACED two-bagger
brought in the run that carried the
Senators ahead in the game. Again in
the eighth II was Clarke who led of
with a two-base hit. which started the
ball rolling for tallies that counted. He
was in the game always. He played
a fast game behind the bat; caught a
man al second who thought he could
pilfer the bag. and his presence on the
coaching line had much to do with get
ting the winning runs past the home
plate.
Still, Clarke did not play the whole
game. He was assisted to some ex-
tent by the eight other players. They
imbibed some Of his aggressive spirit,
and the result was faster game on
the part Of the locals than thsy have
been wont TO put up.

Pitcher Katoll and Outfelder McFar-
land, OF the Chicago club. have been
signed by the Athletics.
As a whole, the Western clubs seem
stronger than those In the East. From
the opening game at Boston, on April
10, the Orioles have had every reason
to believe that there would be no par
ticular difficulty for the pcnnant win
ner to beat out Boston. Philadelphia
was much weakened by the loss of La
joie, Bernhardt. and Frazer. and there
is no indication OF a recovery from that
loss. Washington has never been class
ed with the strong Westerners. and the
Orioles are a disappointment so far. So
the truth is gradually becoming evident
that the East is In for hard season.
When will the orioles play the ball Of
which they are capable. and take a real
hand in the shuttle Baltimore News.
Umpire O'Day believes that the .rou-
BILE with Matthevson. the much adver
tised pitcher of the New York club. Is
not that he is Indifferent. but that his
arm is gone. O'Day says: "Matty has
been throwing that drop curve 80 much
that his arm cannot help but give out.
The drop ball is the hardest a pitcher
can throw. as il uses every joint in the
arm and pulls opposite from the joint.
1t is great ball to mix with others. but
II man keeps throwing 1t all the time
1t is only matter OF q short time un
til the arm gives out entirely"
