Wichita, Kans, March 2S.-GoodWin.
washingtons young pitcher, received the
worst lambasting to-day that has been
handed a major league pitcher this year.
or that is likely 10 be received by any
man thought fast enough for the big cir
cults. and that is how Wichita won from
Washington by 10 10 9.
The bombardment came in the seventh
inning, when the score was 70 IN
favor of Washington, and nothing In
sight TO prevent the game being completed
In short order Wichita had so firmly
expected to be beaten that it agreed to 90
to bat first, so that Washington could
save time by not having to bat in the
ninth inning It was case OF counting
the ohickings before, &c.
Not only did Goodwin balloon in the
seventh and allow five hits for eight
runs, but the entire team behind him
went TO pieces. and the worst possible
exhibition of minor league ball was fur
nished By the Capital tourists. Even old
reliable Lave Cross dropped one squarely
in his hands, and this. in fact, gVas re-
sponsible for four OF the runs, as had he
been on the job wiehita's accumulation in
the seventh inning would have been four
instead Of eight tallies.
sehIaiy Makes Error.
In the same round schafy made bum
throw 70 first on an infeld pop, scoring
one man and putting another on second.
Goodwin added 10 the confusion by giving
a base on balls and completely losing his
nerve so that all he could pitch was a
ball straight over the plate.
After many trials and tribulations,
mixed with some decent hitting. Wichita
had garnered two runs when the fatal
seventh began. A. Isbell. brother of the
celebrated Frank IsbeIl, of the Chicago
worlds champions. opened with a pop fly
TO short. Nichols hit to left. Bayliss,
who batted for Speer drew a pass. Milan
hit 10 Perrine who threw it straight into
the hands Of Cross at third, but the vet
eran dropped the ball. and all were safe.
McLears hit TO center. scored Nichols,
and Bayliss. and put Milan on third
Helling was an easy infeId out, and the
side would have been retired right there,
but Cross blundered and Milan scored
the fourth run
Frank Isbel. who was in the city be
cause of sickness in his family and had
volunteered 10 play second for Wichita,
hit a grounder 10 Schlafiy at deep first.
Issy ran like the wind 10 first. Goodwin
was not so breezy. and Schlafy was over
confident Result, the ball TO the bleach
crs and Isbell 10 third. Holland walked
and IsbeH came home on a single by An

Then came the crowning shame. Young
Isbell, who is not bit like his brother ir
baseball ability, as far as can be judged
on his general work, hit a clean triple tC

in making a grand total OF eight runs
This was TOO much, and Goodwin was
chased in favor of Graham. who caught
