Third Baseman Hill.

proceedings: for half, an hour. After con-
siderable 'sawdust had been distributed
around the home plate and the three bases
play resumed. out the deep mud took
all the enjoyment out of the sport, as the
players of both teams were lucky to stop
the ball after sliding instead of running
after the hits. -
The Offering of two games for one admis-
sion, and it being ladies day. served to
draw out a splendid sized crowd for this
season of the year and until the rain broke
over the park everybody was given an
afternoon of rare sport.
Ex-senator Orth. whose arm was sup
posed to have been badly injured in re-
cent game in Boston. reported to Manager
Griffith Monday night and he was sent to
the rubber at once to ascertain If his work
could be depended upon in the coming
struggle with the western clubs. Orth
pitched finely for eight innings. allowing
but three hits but in the ninth he gave
base on balls and allowed Hill to swipe
a beautiful double to the 1eft-field fence.
Then came a sacrifice and fielders' choice
which sent two runs over the plate and
the score was tied. Manager Griffith de-
cded to take chances with Orth, and
In the tenth inning trotted out his king
pin. Chesbro Algie was In splendid form
and had the Senators at his mercy for the
remaining two innings OF the game.
Jacobsen Pitched Well.
Albert Jacobsen did the twirling for the
Senators, and the Decatur farmer pitched
one of the best games OF his career when
his opponents are considered For six in
nings the Highlanders went runless and in
that time had secured but two hits After
that Jacobsen was hit more freely. but it
required almost Superhuman work for the
visitors TO get a over the plate. Jacob
sen was as cool as a cucumber throughout
the eleven innings. and for a left-hander
was very regular, giving but two bases on
balls.
Back of Jacobsen. the Senators put up
perfect fielding game, Shortstop Cassidy
and Second Baseman Mullen being the
stars. In the second inning Cassidy made
a splendid one-handed stop of Williams
fast grounder. and throwing with his back
turned. got the ball to Stahl ahead of the
batter.
The play was of the sort that is suc-
crowd showed its appreciation by cheering
the youngster heartily. In the fifth in
ming Camel hit fly back to third base
that was too far out for Hill and too short
ball. urged on by Donovans cries to keep
going. and just as the sphere was about
to hit the ground Joe stuck out his hands
and held on to it with wonderful tenacity.
Once more the crowd yelled its approval.
Mullins Fine Catch.
In the eleventh inning Mullin rushed out
into right field and pulled down fly from
Conroy's bat while his back was turned
to the ball. 1t was a magnificent effort.
Mullin on top of his splendid catch, turned
like a shot and threw the ball home to
Kittredge to head off willie" Keller. who
was Logging 1t for the plate with all his
best speed. The ball and runner arrived
together. Keller bumped kit" pretty
hard. and the sphere was knocked from
Malachfs hands 1t was an exciting mo-
ment. and the playing was first-class from
both sides.
The New Yorks were the first to show in
the seventh inning with one run Elber-
field led off with single to left and Con-
roy sacrificed him to second. Williams
hit to HILL and the latter made pretty
play by chasing Elberfeld back to second
and then getting the ball to first ahead of
the batter. Camel sent a clean single into
right and Donovan made a pretty throw
toward the plate. but Jacobsen. who
thought more of catching the batter at
Second than stopping the run, got In front
Of the throw and CAMEL was run down
Had Jacobsen kept out of the way 1t looked
from the press box as though the ball
would have beaten Elberfeld to the plate.
In the eighth inning base on balls to
Fultz, a sacrifice by Mcclure and a timely
single over second by AL. Orth scored the
first named.
Hill's Timely Double.
After having eight ciphers charged
against them the Senators came out of
tators wild by tying the score. O'Neiil,
the first batter up, was passed to first.
Hunter Hin. who by the way played
splendid game. whacked out double to
the left-fieid fence. and O'NeiIl raced home. /
Stahl followed with q neat sacrifice. send
ing Hill to third, and Hunter raced home
