Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-07-08
Flick Hits to the Fence.

Neither side scored in the first three in
nings, although the Clevelands got double
and triple. Mccarthy being nailed at
third base and Flick at the plate. In the
fourth both sides scored a run. Mccarthy
got base balls but was nailed trying
to steal second on a pretty throw by Kit
fridge to Moran. Flick then tripled to the
right field fence and scored on Gochnauer's
double in the same direction Bemis then
hit to Moran, the latter making a pretty
stop, but threw badly to Clarke, and the
batter was safe. This was the Senator's
only error. The next two batters We're easy
outs at first and in left field. For the
Washingtons, Clarkes nice single into left
and Ryan's timely double to the right field
fence scored the first run. Clarke went all
the way from first home, which is quite a
sprint for Sir William.
In the fifth Washington got two more
Robinson led off with a double into right,
Flick losing the ball in the sun, and, of
course, misjudging it. Kit made nice
sacrifice, sending Roby to third. Orth fol-
lowed with a triple to the score board,
Roby scoring, and then followed ludicrous
play.
Ludicrous Play
Moran hit line fly into Hickman's init
and Orth was caught twenty feet off third
he had started with the crack Of the
ball on the bat. Thinking the out was sure,
Orth kept on towards home but Hickman
made a weird throw to Bradley, the ball
rolling to the bleachers. Orth by this time
was at the plate, and the combined shouts
of the players woke him up to the situa-
ton. He Immediately sprinted back to
third and made 1T ia safety, when Bradley
cut loose with the ball for the plate. There
were fully six of the Clevelands lined up to
get the throw, but the ball twisted over
and under them like snake, rolled to the
grand stand and Orth scored. The next
two batterS~were easy outs at first
When Orth went to the rubber shortly
after he seemed tagged out and was putting
hard, but Kittridge used his noodle" as
usual. In the short preliminary warm up
Kilt threw the ball away over Clarke's
head to the club house, and while the ball
was being recovered Orth was getting his
second wind.
Full of Excitement.
The seventh inning was a busy one and
crowded with excitement. Bemis started
off with single to left. Dorner then tried
to sacrifice, but Orth gathered in the roller
and nailed Bemis at second. Bay followed
with fast one to Martin, and Dorner was
| forced at second. Bradley hit a corking
single into center and Bay set sail for home
Ryan quickly shot the ball to Moran, and
the ex-Georgetown boy whipped it on a
| true line to Kittridge. and the speedy run
ner was npped at the plate. 1t was a
| splendid play and received hearty applause.
| This was a case where two hits were
thrown away.
In the same inning the Senators hung up
their last two runs. Martin got a base on
| balls and went to second on Roby's single
| into right. Kit once more came forward
| with nice sacrifice, moving both players
| up base. Orth then hit a long fly to Bay,
| which the latter muffed in his anxiety to
| make the throw home, Martin scoring.
| Moran popped up a short fly back Of sec
| ond, which Gochnauer caught but made a
| poor throw home and Robinson scored
| Cleveland made two more hits in the
| eighth inning, back Of base on balls, and
| scored the second and last run
No regular umpire appeared at the park,
| and Drill and Bernard officiated satisfac-
| torily.
