Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-05-08

Everything came the Athletics way yes
terday on their own grounds. and came In
chunks. 1t was the occasion of AL Orth
re-entry into Philadelphia base ball society,
and the curveless one will doubtless remem-
Der the effusiveness of the reception accord
ed him for many days TO come. 1t was
the greatest hitting matinee Of the young
season. twenty-five bingles for total of
thirty-four bases being secured off his de-
livery The hitting of the champs alone
would have won any game, but If there
had been any doubt about the result after
the third inning it would have been dis
solved by the slouchy character of the SEN
ators' work af1eld. 1t was weird at times.
With both DeMontreville and Moran out
of the game the Senatorial infield is ma
terially weakened. Holmes at second did
his best but he did not give the slightest
hint that he knew anything about playing
the bag. Bender was hit hard at intervals
all through the game, but ultra-sensational
fielding the part of Dan Murphy kept
down the scoring.
Run-getting began early and ended late.
Hartsel drew a base on balls in the first
inning and Pickering scratched out a single.
Davis flied to Ryan, after which Lave Cross
doubled to left center, scoring Hartsel and
Pickering. Seybold walked. but was forced
at second by Murphy. The latter started
for second and on the throw down Lave
Cross made a break for the plate Holmes
winged the ball home six feet over Clarkes
head and Murphy. who never did stop run
ming, beat Clarkes throw back to Orth.
Monte Cross doubled down the left field
line, but was left, Powers fly being cared
for by Ryan. There was nothing doing In
the second, but in the third there was ac-
ton the part of both teams. AL Orth
began Washingtons half with solid two
Dagger to right and advanced to third on
Robinsons out scoring on Selbach's single.
The baron was thrown out in an attempt to
steal. Delehanty walked and went to third
on Ryan's single to center. Ryan stole
second and scored with Delehanty on
Careys single to center. COughlin lifted
fly. of which Murphy made great catch.
The Athletics made one in their half on
SeybOld S base on balls and steal to second,
Clarke's wild throw and Murphy's single.
Beginning with the fourth there was
nothing to it. Powers singled to center,
but was forced at second on Bender's at
tempted sacrifice. HartSel singled Bender
going to third. Pickering flied to Ryan.
Bender scoring. Ryans throw in got away
from Clarke and Hartsel went to third.
Davis walked and stole second. Lave
Cross hit to Robinson, who was seized with
a of digital paralysis. He made sew
eral vain attempts to pick up the ball as
Hartsel ran home. He became so disguised
at his tumble that he took no notice of
Harry Davis scurrying for the home plate
until his attention was called to it by one
of the other infielders. 1t was then too
late. Davis sliding in In safety. Lave stole
second and scored on Seybolds double
The batting streak proper began In the
sixth. Pickering beat out bunt and came
in with Davis on the latters drive over the
right center field fence. Cross and Seybold
were easy victims. Murphy singled and
Monte was safe on tumble by Holmes,
both moving up on wild pitch. Powers
grounder was entirely too warm for Cough
lin, and Murphy scored Bender singled,
filling the bases. Hartsel struck out Pick
ering's single. Davis. double and Murphy's
drive over the fence yielded three in the
seventh. Four more were made in the
eighth on Hartsel's triple, Pickering and
Davis singles. Delehanty's muf of Sey-
bold fly and Monte Cross base hit
Delehanty's double. Ryan's single and
Careys out netted Washington a run in
the eighth. and Murphy's tumble of Orth's
grounder and singles by Robinson and Sell
bach produced the last run in the ninth.
