Evening star., 1904-07-15

for the Browns to shine, Wallace making
two mispays, while Burk-tt slipped up
once, two runs being hande lie Senators
in consequence.
Albert Edward Orth was the shining
mark of the afternoon. the Lynchburg boy
pitching a game of the sort that will make
him talked about for several seasons. In
only one inning were the Browns able 10
bunch their hits on Orth. and then they
secured the three hits that drove in their
lonesome two runs. Sudhoff, on the other
hand. appeared to be to the liking of the
Sena ators from the start, and when they
punched their bingles it was in a cluster of
five, that sent three runs over the plate.
Little Joe Cassidy appeared to take a par
ticular liking for the fast curves of the
dminutive twirler. and out of four times
at the bat, whipped out three as pretty
singles as one would care to see. His
other drive nearly tore off the foot of
Wallace at short, and with little Ieniency
could have easily been placed In the hit
column.
Back of Orth. his companions worked
with hearty goodwill. and nothing seemed
too difficult for them to copper. Cassidy
was all over the in and outfield, his catch
of Heidrick's foul fly the left-field
bleachers in the second inning being a par
ttcularly brilliant effort. Bill Coughin. at
third. also had a busy day. and when 1t Is
stated that he worked in his usual style.
nothing more need be said Another bright
spot on the ntield was at first base where
Jake Stahl simply outdid himself in SCOOP
ing up short throws his playing being so
clever to call forth cOmmendation even
from the opposing players.
Browns Chances Easy.
Almost all the Browns chances were
easy. the exceptions being two stops by
Hill at third that saved at least three runs.
His first effort was on O'Neills beautifully
placed bunt. which he gathered in with one
hand and caught the fast runner at first.
This play Is the only one that appears in
the tabulated score for the ex-Texas
Lacquer but he stopped a drive from Cas-
sdy's bat In the seventh inning that was
so wicked that it would have gone to the
fence and scored both Orth and Donovan.
He made a good throw to Padden at sec
ond after getting the ball. but Donovan
had secured a good start and beat the
sphere to the sack.
Orth got away badly in the first inning
by giving Burlsett a base on balls. but he
struck out Hemphill, and Clarke by a fine
throw to Cassidy, nailed the crab" at
second while trying to steal. Jones closed
the inning with a swift grounder to StahI.
which was tossed to Orth in time to retire
the batter.
The Senators did beteer In their first try
at the bat, Coughlin leading Off with
single into center, and he reached second
on a daring steal. Wallace then allowed
and Coughln raced home. Stahl followed
with a grounder to Padden and a double
play should have resulted. but Wallace
dropped Dicks throw and both runners
were safe. ONeill then struck out and
Mccormick flied out to Padden.
Neither side scored In the second. but In
the third the Browns got after Orth. hit
the ball for keeps and chalked up two
runs, their only tallieS of the afternoon.
Hill reached first a nice bunt toward
third and Kahoe sacrificed him to second.
Sudhofr whipped a timely single into center
and Hill beat Herrings throw to the plate,
Sudhon taking second on the thrOw-in.
Burkett then stung another clean single
into right center and Sudhoff scored. Hemp
hill and Jones were easy outs at first.
Burkett's Costly Error.
In the fifth inning Washington tied the
score when Burkett dropped Coughlin's
| long fly that came down near the left-feld
| fence. the batter reaching second and then
scoring on Cassidy's line drive over WAL
| lace's head.
| In the lucky seventh the Senators shot
| to the front and there was nothing more
| to 1t. three runs resulting from as fine q
| display Of timely batting as has been seen
| on the local grounds for many days. After
| Clarke had been retired at first, Orth sent
| a single into right. but Coughlin's best was
| a strikeout. Donovan then hit wicked
| grounder toward right that Jones knocked
| down with one hand. but couldn't recover
| in time to beat the batter. Cassidy followed
| with the drive to Hill. heretofore described
| and the bases were filled. Jake Stahl has
| been hitting very hard Of late. but Sudhon
| appeared to have his measure, his former
| three efforts being very 'punky." This
| time the big fellow was in right, and his
drive over second sent Orth and Donovan
| scooting over the plate. O'Neill concluded
| 1t was time for him to hit the ball, and he
| drove single into right that brought Cas-
| sidy over the rubber. Mccormick closed
| the inning by going out on strikes.
This ended the run scoring for the day.
