at American League Park this season
Yesterday afternoon. the contest running
twelve innings the visitors winning out by
the score of / to o. In direct contrast to
the day previous, the Senators were on
their toes from start to finish, and went
through the entire twelve innings without
an error. Several pretty plays were pulled
off, but the effective pitching OF poth
twirlers made a great majority of the
chances easy to the players.
The exceptional plays of the afternoon
was a remarkable stop back of second base
by Mccormick of Bays fast grounder IN
the initial inning. the former getting the
latter at first on one-hand stop and
quick throw to first. Bay is one OF the
fastest runners playing base ball and that
a ball could be plucked out of safe terri
tory in time to retire him at hrst Doroels
on the supernatural. Barry rushed over
at the crack of the ball on the pat. anu
although his game leg was something ol
a handicap he dove down IN the oust.

around made a beautiful throw 10 the
waiting Herring. 1t was an inspiring pay
with which to start the game ana tne
good example kept the locals going all
the afternoon. -,
The other sensational play didn't cali
forth any mighty effort. but was of the
inside sort and probably saved Iun

when a safe hit meant a rum while Joss
had very little trouble of this sort as the
Senators generally went out in their order
of going to the plate.
In the fifth inning Carr and Turner SIN

ingioriously striking out.
The Blue Legs got busy in the twelfth

that Carr could land his fifth straight hit,
