Albert Edward Orth pitched the sort of
ball yesterday against the Bostons that
made him famous. the Senators backed him
up in brilliant style and the combination
proved a winner. the Beaneaters being de-
feated by the score of to 2. Tho easy
work of Howard Wilson Saturday had evil
IDENTIFY impressed Mr.. Orth with the useless
of using speed against the Bostons
and he depended for his best work on a
slow curve. AS result the Collinsites
passed the afternoon away batting flies for
the In and outfields. Clarke at first, getting
but three put outs record for the season.
For seven innings Orth held the visitors
down to six hits. but in the eighth he
doubtless concluded it was bad luck to shut
out the prospective champions and eased
up in his work AS a result three hits were
made in a bunch and two runs scored
Opposed to Orth on the rubber was young
Gibson and he also did great work in seven
of the nine innings. After going along for
six innings with only four hits against him,
Gibson lost his effectiveness. In the lucky
seventh inning the Senators tore Of FIVE
hits. and when the dust had settled four
big, juicy runs had been hung up on the
score board to dry.
majority OF the fielding sensations went
to the Bostons. the chances given the Sena-
tors. on account Of Orth'S effective pitching,
being almost all easy. Parent for the Bos-
tons performed in a remarkable manner
batting down balls back of second base so
frequently as to discourage the Senatorial
batters. This space back of second Is sup
posed to be safe territory but Parent was
so swift on his feet that he appeared to
cover an amount of ground generally al
lotted to two men. Dougherty in left is
charged with only one error while he
should have three on account of Sinking
two nice long flies that hit the fence. but
then the curiy-headed youngster can hit
the ball. and that is what keeps him in the
game He made three singles yesterday.
