Jacobsen Was Steady.

For eleven exciting innings the teams
battled without scoring Whenever the
opportunity 10 bat in a run across the
plate offered itself, sensational fielding
or excellent twirling prevented it. Both
Jacobsen and Moore were never better.
The formers cumbersome, overland de-
livery was as mystifying TO the Blues
as the tricks Of a magician, and Moore's
cross-fire shots held the Senators at his
mercy
Victory came in the twelfth IN an IN
lOoked-for manner. O'Neilrs bal0Oner
was smothered by dinky little Harry
Bay. Four bad ones put Mccormick on
first base. Hueisman hit z terrific line
drive 10 center, which Bay captured.

have hit the center field fence had

Texas Lacquer dropped where no one

city would make a better showing than
it did last year
The practical result of his manipula-
tiOnS has been that the team was
plunged head over heels into debt, and
that what few players it did have who
classed up have been sold, and others
are going.
1t IS certainly nice record for John
son as an executive head, but his treat
ment of Washington was no more than
might have been expected by those who
had experience with his promises and
statements when the Baltimore team
was sold out by McGraw.
IN all the weary months from October
TO March the Washington club slept as
a peaceful babe.
No one knew who was manager. and
the players did not know 20 whom TO
report There were persistent demands
for q sale Of the club to some man with
sense enough not to throw the public
down and then kick Il in the face; but
all this was met by a poTtentous silence
on the part of Johnson which the simple
minded and IMMERSED took TO mean that
a massive Intellect was weighing
mighty problem, and that the silence
would be broken by a magnificent burst
of glorious achievement.
Wasted All the Winter.
AS a matter Of fact, Johnson fiddIed
around until about the middle of March,
when he sold the club to people who,
as far as can be learned, never really
bought st. Then it was so late that q
| hurried job had 10 be made Of moving
| the fixtures TO the Old park.
The contractor had TO work night and
/ day and Sundays. and comparatively
| simple building operation finally cost
1 $4,000. This little matter put the club
( in such a hole that II was, and may yet
| be- on the verge OF going into the hands
/ Of a receiver. and the excuse given for
/ the sale of players has been that IL was
l necessary in order to obtain money to
pay the contractor.
/ Instead of the team being strengthened
/ through JOhnsons supposedly marvel
/ Gus geueralship and desire TO see the
I league balanced as evenly as possible,
{ Il has been weakened right along, and
/ the places of the men sold have been
taken by youngsters dropped by other
| teams.
! The club and the public owe nothing
! TO the fact that Cassidy and StahI have
happened 10 turn out TO be two good
! PLAYERS. as when they were taken on II
/ was only because they were cheap, and
not because Of any particular keenness
! in recognizing their ability as ball play
/ ers. Now that they have made good
! there IS probably not one chance in a
! thousand that they will be kept through
/ the remainder Of the season.

SPLENDID CONTEST
WON BY SENATORS
Beat Cleveland 1 to 0 In
Twelve Innings.
SENSATIONAL FIELDING
Everybody Did Star Stunts-Second
Game Lost When Wolfe
Exploded.

Washington, I; Cleveland, Twelve
innings.
Cleveland, o; Washington, z-Seven
innings
It is the unanimous opinion of nearly
every one of the 1900 spectators who
saw yesterdays double-header that that
first game was the most interesting and
spectacular played in the American
League this season.
Never has so many brilliant catches
been made in one game in Washington
in the recouections of the Oldest sun
burned bleacherite. Catches by Hill.
Bay, two by O'Nein, two by McCor-
mick, and the work of Cassidy at short
stop. and Hickman at first base, have
never been excelled.
HIS catch of Bays bat in the
twelfth inning was what might be term
ed a '1alapaloUsa." Bay smacked one
of Jacobsen's drops between the eyes
and raised 1t far TO right field. Hin
started with the crack of the bat. His
chances Of getting 1t seemed hopeless,
but when within about twenty feet from
the fence he turned Just as the ball was
sailing over his head and grabbed it
with his ungloved hand. Finer ovation
was never extended n ball player.
O'Neins two catches were each made
after hard runs. both Of the bingles he
captured being Texas leaguers. Nc
Cormick nabbed an almost impossible
foul back OF first base. ad followed suit
by grabbing Lajoie's Texas Lacquer 10
right by his finger tips. Bay made two
excellent running catches. but his star
play came in the second game, when he
nailed Cassidys swat TO deep center
with his unglOved hand.
