is at last DrOken-N aSnlngIOn mas won
game. Not only did they corral vic
tory, but they shut st. Louis out, batted
like fiends, played an erroriess game,
and last, but not least, Lee, Col. Wyatt
Lee, the lad with the Apollo-like form
and raven locks, did the twirling. When
you have sufficiently recovered from the
shock this startling piece of intelligence
occasions. gentle reader, we will pro-
coed.
The Heavens Frown.
Under auspices most discouragiug,
downward pour of rain being momen-
tarily imminent, the game was started.
The 700 hundred fans, sparsely scat
tered over stand and bleachers, ex-
pecting drenching at any. moment, and,
resigned to their fate, were prepared for
the worst and hardly dare hope for
victory. Lotus had bunch that It
was up TO Lee to do the trick, and act
ing upon this bunch sent him in to do
or die. Well was he repaid, since the
Missouri lad mixed them up with rare
judgment, and allowed the heavy hit
ting Brown Stockings but four little
scattered hits.
The team behind him, realizing that it
was about time to redeem itself, went
about It's work with a grim determine
tion. Chances. difficult and easy, were
accepted in faultless style. and the few
fortunate enough to witness the game
were dumfounded, and marveled II it
was the same team which has been so
persistently losing of late.
The boys, one and all, put up brill
liant. heady game of ball. They hit
everything in sight, and kept the WISH
tors busy chasing base hits around the
lot. They ran bases with an inteili-
supporters, and kept on the tips of their
toes from start to finish.
Carey the Star.
Carey was the bright particular star
with the ash, ripping of four singles out
of Ave times at bat.
Wyatt Lee laced out three hits, while
Delehanty came out of his trance and
tore off three, two of which were
doubles. Setback secured a brace of
singles. each of the remaining Senators
also securing a hit.
Reidy was a much Disguised and
fatigued young man before the assault
came to a close. but McAleer kept him
at his work and made him take his dose.
The Washington iniieId worked like a
piece OF machinery and nothing got
away from It.
St. Louis Quit Early.
On the other hand. seeing defeat was
inevitable, the st. Louis lads played in
a listless manner and did all in their
power to delay the game before the re-
quired four and one-half innings were
played, hoping against hope that the
siuice gates OF heaven might open and
the game be called. Lee kept them at
his mercy while in the box. and their
efforts at the bat were about as abor-
tive as those of Washington in the
earlier part Of the week.
Sheridan kept both teams on the
jump and umpired clean. square game.
not one of his decisions giving cause
for dispute.
