The third game of the present series
between the St. Louis and Washington
clubs. played at American League park
yesterday afternoon was crowded with eX-
citing incidents from start to finish and to
add to the joy of the local fans the
Senators won out in the last inning by the
score of to /.
Umpire Silk OLoughlin was chiefly
responsible for the greatest excitement,
as he chased Captain Selbach to the club
house and put Third Baseman Coughhn on
the bench the former for continuous argu-
rnent as to whether "a ball hit to right was
fair or not. and the latter for being too
demonstrative after being called out at the
plate. The umpire was acting entirely
within his rights but his actions inccused
the spectators and but for the Senators
winning on. there would probably have
been a spectacular climax. The ball that
Selbach hit went directly over first base.
but OLoughlin was back of the pitcher
and mSjudged it. Selbach Immediately
lost his head and deserved the retirement
Martin went into left, and when Coughlin
was retired, he came into third, Orth going
into left. The change nearly proved dis
astrous 10 the Senators. Orth made d
mess of two flies into his territory. mis-
judging one and muffing another. But the
bringing of Joe Martin into the game
proved the Browns downfall he whipped
out a beautiful triple in the ninth inning
and scored the winning run on Lees tre-
mendous drive to the club house, without
anybody being out.
The drive of Lee would have been good
for home run. if needed, as it struck
the fence the first bound and then shot
into the club house door Wyatt continued
running until over the first bag and then
turned to the bench to gather in his
sweater and walk to the club house amidst
the joyous shouts of the crowd.
Worked Like Good Machinery.
Case Patten was on the rubber for the
Senators and he worked like a we'll oiled
piece Of machinery. the Browns getting but
five hits. two Of which We're made in the
second inning and scored their solitary
run. Culucky Jack Powell was on the rub
ber for the Browns and although he went
we'll for the first four innings therea fter
he was bumped pretty hard the climax
coming in the ninth. Outfielders Burkett
and Heidrick were responsible for the Sen
ators tying up the score in the seventh in
ming as they both rushed for Orth's easy
fly back Of second and then stopped and
let the ball fall safe. the batter getting a
double where out should have been
scored. 1t was a slaring piece of headless
work Tor such finished players and for a
time 1t looked as il the men would come to
blows over the incident. Mique kahos

with kittredge's. as the latter's throwing to
bases was simply perfect and in retiring
