The Washington base ball club visited
Baltimore yesterday and assisted Manager
Robinson's new Orioles in making their
opening bow in a game at Oriole Park
The Birds We're defeated by the somewhat
decisive score of 10 to 1. The Baltimore
Herald says of the game:
1t should be understood that the Balti-
more men have had absolutely no cha
to get any practice on the field this spring
owing TO the rain which has fallen nearly
every day since the team has been to-
gether. The pitchers have not been able
to Timber up, and none of them are able to
do themselves justice.
The Washington team, on the other hand
is in pretty fair shape. They have had
several weeks of good practice and have
played a number of games. winning two
from the Philadelphia Nationals and one
from Brooklyn. Their twirlers are in good
shape, and the team is working smoothly.
That they should defeat the Orioles, and
that decisively. too. is nothing to the dis
credit OF the Birds.
Although beaten, the men felded well
and hit the ball credtably, considering the
fact that they were UP against twirlers
like Orth and Lee. who are just now in
fairly good form.
AS Captain Robbie feared before the
game. the main weakness lay In the box
The twirlers have had no opportunity to
work out, and. with the exception of Mills.
showed no form at ALL Mills started the
game and pitched for four innings. Not
run was made off his delivery and only
four hits. He had a good curve. lots of
speed and perfect control and is evidently
a youngSter of much promise. His show
ing was one of the bright features of the
game.
In the fifth inning Voorhees, went in and
pitched three innings. ICY" Is not him
self yet. He lacked speed and foated the
ball up to the plate just to the liking of
the senatorial batsmen. He was pounded
hard and nine runs were made while he
was in the box. Gettig finished the game
out and did somewhat better.
In the main the Birds backed their
twirlers up in good shape. There were
some costly slips. but these were to be
expected. and were cOunterbalanced by
much really brilliant play. Quinlan and
Green played a fine game in the infield.
Green is certainly great find He Is
fast, fearless yOungster and looks very
good around third. Quinlan. too. is speedy.
and that side of the infield will be well
taken care of.
The rotund "Paca" Childs was at Sec
ond. "Paca" is handicapped at present by
about twenty pounds overweight. Yester-
day he found difficulty In fielding and
made couple OF errors. one OF which was
responsible for the first three runs made
by Washington. At the bat Chiids showed
traces of his old form. getting In a couple
of nice hits. Tommy Dowd played a fine
game In left and was wonderfully active
for an oid-timer. Captain Robbie behind
the bat was all there and played the game
for all II was worth AS whole the
team looked good. and il the twirlers pan
out all right the Orioles will be hard to
beat. The Senators played a nice, smooth
game. Their infieid showed up especially
well.
For the first four innings neither side
scored. but with the advent of Voorhees,
the Senators began to find the ball. They
scored three runs In the fifth inning. being
helped out by Childs' mun of a fly ball.
In the sixth good hitting gave them an
other run. and IN the seventh five more
were scored In the eighth single run
was made, and one also In the ninth
Baltimore's only run was made in the
ninth. After Dowd had retired at first on
a little hit to Lee. Brodie singled and
went to third on Jones hit. Green's out
second to first. scored Brodie. Quinian
ended matters with an out at first.
