Carrick on the Anxious Seat.

Carrick was on the rubber for the Sem
ators. and Little Willie worked like
Trojan TO win his game. Several times he
was on the edge of recall to the bench
by Manager Lotus. but the next inning
Carrick would pull himself together and
shut out the Birds. This would give him
new lease of life but biff, bang would go
the hits in the following inning and Town
send would be chased behind the stand to
warm up. Then the Senators would take a
turn at lambasting the Baltimore twirler,
and as they forged to the front Carrick
was allowed to continue. Not being con-
tent with doing his best on the rubber,
Carrick swung his bat with splendid eff
feet making triple and a single. and
both times runs were brought over the
plate.
The Washingtons started off as If they in
tended TO make runaway race of the
game. scoring four runs in the first inning
after the Orioles had been shut out. After
Ryan had fouled out to Bresnahan Doyle
got his base on balls and took second as
Howell dropped Delehanty's fly. Coughlin
followed with a smash into left for single,
and Doyle set sail for home. In turning
third he ran into Oyler, or the latter got
in his way, and as result Jack went to
the ground in heap Doyle claimed inter-
ference-he was entitled TO right of way
and Umpire tombstone very promptly al
lowed the claim. Doyle could very easily
have made home on the hit, and for this
reason it looked as though Oyler was pat
terning after his predecessor, "Muggsy"
McGraw, and wrkins in little trickery.
Lee looked hercely at Shields and as a
suit was rewarded with a base on balls.
filing all the corners. Carey followed with
a fly to Howell and Delehanty came home.
Senator Ely proved the right man in the
right place, as his single into right field
sent COughlin and Lee home, the latter do
ing some tall sprinting to beat HoweIrs
throw to the plate. Clarke also singled,
but Carrick's grounder to short forced him
out at second.
Lucky Bound for the Orioles.
The Orioles got their first run in the
second inning as the result of a lucky
bound. Bresnahan was given base on
balls and was forced a minute later by
HoweIl's hit to Doyle. Gilbert singled to-
right and Howell reached third by close
shave, Lees throw being accurate and true
OyIer followed with a short fly to Dele
hanty and Howell started home. Delehanty
threw splendidly toward the home plate
and the ball came fast that Howell
started to return to third, but just as
Clarke was setting his hands to get the
sphere 1t struck an obstruction and bound
ed over his head, rolling to the grand
stand. Howell turned back once more with
a glad smile and scored easily.
In the third the Baltimores tied the score.

onlookers. Kelley got first on balls and
went TO second on Selbachs single into left
Williams then hit a bad-bounding ball
toward Carrick that was partially knocked
down. the sphere rolling toward Ely, who
gathered 1t IN and threw wildly to first,
Kelley and Setback both reaching home on
the error. After Seymour had flied out to
Ryan Bresnahan was again passed free to

Clarke started of with fly to Seymour
but Carrick hit safely over second and
went ua base on wild pitch. Ryan fol-
