There was fine game Of base ball at the
American League Park yesterday AFTER
noon when for the second time the Phila-
delphia National League aggregation cross
ed bats with the Senators, and a second
time the locals pounded out victory to the
tune of 6 to s. The sensational play Of the
day occurred in the ninth inning. when with
the score standing 6 to 5, with one man out
and Barry on first. keister sent swift fly
out into right field. The hopes of the local
fans sank to the bottom, as the drive had
all the appearance of a good safe hit, and
Barry started on a sprint from first to third
in a manner that left no doubt as to his IN
tentions "Ducky" Holmes, who was cover
ing right garden, left off his contemplation
of the signs on the fence opposite and mace
a run for the fly. 1t was a hard proposition.
but the little fielder was able to reach the
leather before it struck the ground. ana
without Strengthening up he fired 1t over to
Carey, completing a double play and ending
the game.
A Satisfactory Contest.
OF course 1t was not an erroriess game
the result might have been different hao
there been no fumbles-but considering tnat
1t is just the beginning Of the season. the
exhibition yesterday afternoon was salts
factorily to even the most exactinS ran.
The visitors started the game with good
lead as was the case in the game w ednes-

ers of the local team were on the anxious
seat The Senator's however, finally came
to a realization of what the willow was ZOE
and began picking off the good ones served
up by the twirlers for the Philhes. ana
when they let up on their batting streaR'
which lasted for three innings, there was
sufficient number, of scores to their creolt
to relieve the former anxiety or the local
enthusiasts as to the outcome of the con-
test The attendance was not so large as
on the previous day, but there was no lack
of enthusiasm, each good play being cheer.

There were goose eggs for the Phillies
until the fifth. Wolverton evidently lost
his ginger by his errors IN the previous
inning and when he faced Townsend at the
beginning of the fifth he was unable to con-

going to third. Douglas sacrificed to Ca
