Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1902-07-22

The Senators turned the tables on the
Browns from St. Louis yesterday after
noon in one of the most exciting and best
played games of the season, the score being
to 1 in favor of the Washngtons. An
error Of judgment on the part of Joe Sug-
den, one of the Browns not in the game,
but on the bench. gave the winning run to
Washington In the eighth inning.
Both teams had been playing git-edged
ball for seven innings, the score stood one
each, and the play came up while the Sem
ators were taking their eighth turn at the
into right. which Friel, after a fine run,
got his hands on, but failed to hold. Clarke
tried to sacrifice, but hit a sharp grounder
to Powell. who was pitching. Quick as a
flash Powell threw to Wallace. who COW
cred second, and Ely was out on the force.
Wallace made the mistake of trying for a
double play, although Clarke is proyerbial-
ly slow. the ball slipping from his fingers
and going far over Andersons head into
the space back Of the ticket office. Ander
son made bee line for the Enclosure and
got the ball a Clarke reached third.
At this point Mr.. Sugden made himself
prominent. Joe was under the impression
that ball thrown off the field, among spec
tators. must necessarily have been blocked
and started towards Powell to get him back
in the box so as to receive the sphere and
put it in play before Clarke could get home.
Powell understood the play better than
Sugden and was around the plate trying to
get hold of the ball, but 1t went by him on
an ugly bound. Sugden was right back of
him and believing the play was all of and
that Clarke was bound to score, grabbed
the ball and threw 1t back into the diamond
in disgust. AS soon as Sugden touched the
ball 1t was then blocked, and Clarke was
pushed home with what proved to be the
winning run.
What made the play unusually exasperat-
ing to the St. Louis players was the fact
that Padden was right back of Sugden and
would have recovered the ball in plenty of
time to hold Clarke on third. The next two
batters went out on short flies. and the
run would not have scored but for Sugden S
interference. When a ball is thrown into
the bleachers the umpire must see the
sphere blocked and neither Connolly nor
Caruthers had seen any Interference.
Pitchers at Their Best.
Powell and Orth were the opposing pitch
ers, and both We're at their best. the former
having shade the better of the argument,
as the Browns punched their hits some
what in the second inning. Back of Powell
the Browns were lightning fast, Dick Pad
den alone performing like a magician. being
the center of three fast double plays that
were started by Dick through phenomenal
stops or catches. ALI three of these double
plays resulted from line hits, the last being
a drive from Delehanty's bat in the sixth
inning, which Padden caught with his left
hand a few inches from the ground.
For the Senators Jimmy Ryan and Clarke
were the bright particular stars through
brilliant work, while Fred. Ely was much
in evidence by capturing everything that
came within reach without an error.
Both sides were BANKED in the first in
ming. but the Browns broke the ice In the
second, getting their first and only run
After Anderson had flied out to Lee in
right Wallace singled into left Bobby
tried to work the hit and run game but
Mccormick failed to connect with the ball
and Clarke Threw the runner out at second.
Mccormick was then passed TO first on
balls. and reached second a wild pitch.
Padden followed with double into left
and Mccormick chased home. Kahoe
singled into center and Padden tried for
home. but Ryan made a beautiful throw
20 the plate. and Clarke nipped the runner
ticularly pleasing to the multitude, as it
shut off a batting rally in addition TO pre-
venting run being scored.
In the third the score was tied through
the medium of home run hit over the left
field fence by Catcher Clarke the first man
to the bat. The next three went out, Orth
on strikes and Ryan and Doyle by Pad
denis first double play
In the eighth the Senators secured their
second run by the help of Mr.. Sugden, as
before told, and as the Browns could do
nothing in the ninth the second game of
ingtons
Following is the official score:
