It was not forthcoming. weak roller or a
high fly being about the best that could
be done. The Clevelands are credited with

found 1t difficult matter to score runs
Howard Wilson did the pitching for
Washington, and there was only one inning
in which he got away without a hit being
registered by the opposing batsmen. The

batsmen appeared to hit him very hard.
Unfortunately Bill Clarke had to act as the
savior for the Senators at three important
stages of the struggle. and each time he
failed. Had 1t been Moran. Setback or
Delehanty, what q nice story could have
been written about the game. as Charley

run.
The Senators got busy In the ninth, but
they were too far in the rear to quite get
