Evening star., 1902-07-30


League Park yesterday afternoon to wit
ness the closing game of the series between
the Chicago and Washington clubs, and
everybody went home happy. as the Sena-
tors won out in a well-played contest, by
the score of ) to 2.
The game resolved itself into a pitchers
battle between Wee Willie Carrick and
Roy Patterson, the former finally getting
the better of the argument. For six in
nings neither side got a runner over the
home plate but in the seventh the Senators
punched four hits and as a result made
enough runs to win the game. Back Of
Carrck many clever plays were made, a
magnificent running catch by Ryan and
Lees plucky catch off the left-feld fence
being features. Two fumbles by Ely and
Coughlin and a wild throw to second by
Clarke were the misplays of the Senators.
but for once only one error benefited the
opposing team.
Patterson, on the other hand, received
perfect support, not misplay being charg-
ed against the White Sox, and all the runs
scored had to be driven over the plate by
good. hard hitting.
Several times the Chcagos got men on
bases and run looked promising but Car
rick pulled himself together and the side
would be retired without a run. Eight of
the White SoX were left to die the
ished by the wayside Up until the ninth
inning Carrick held the opposing batsmen
down to four hits, and in the ninth he
eased up a little and two hits resulted.
Coughiin got in his tumble here. and the
only two scores made by the visitors were
recorded. The Senators would get hit
here and there in the first six innings, but
Patterson was going well and the hits nee
essary to score were not forthcoming. Since
the Senators returned home from their
western and eastern trip they have played
sixteen games and Of this number yester-
days victory was the eleventh success.
Quite a record for a second-division team.
Senator'S Batting.
After the Chicagos had been retired in
their order of batting in the seventh. the
Senators got busy with their bats and gave
the spectators their first chance to ell
with glee. Keister hit a hot liner toward
Patterson which the latter partially stop
ped. but the batter was on first before
Daily had a chance to throw the ball.
Coughlin tried to sacrifice, but the ball roll
ed slowly toward first and Keister beat
Isben's throw to second, both men being
safe. Lee also tried to sacrifice, but his
bunt was of the safe order and he reached
first unmoested as Patterson failed to
gather in the ball. This filed the bases
and "Old Reliable Fred Ely, who has been
hitting very timely of late, planted a safe
single in center and Keister and Coughlin
race home Clarke then moved Lee and
Ely up base by neat sacrifice. and Car
rick's long fly to Green scored Lee. Ryan
| closed the inning by going out, Strang TO
| Isbell.

their good work. Doyle led off with a
