Senators Make 1t 1875 in First
and 12-1 in Second Game.
HIT WHEN HITS MEANT RUNS
Only Three Regular Players in
Morning Lineup of Unfortu-
nate New York Team.

Washington, July with the team
shot to pieces by injuries and walowing
in the trough Of a sea of msfortunes that
might discourage the strongest players.
the New York Yankees met q double de-
feat at the hands Of the Washington Sen
ators here to-day Only three regular
players were in the lineup in the morn
ing. when the Yankees were swamped In
a burlesque game by q score Of - TO 5.
The closing chapter Of the days work was
not a whit less farcca and while New
York felded in much cleaner fashion 1t
was walloped by a score OF u to I.
New York is now one half a game ahead
Of St Louis, and only five points separate
IT from the sumner home Of Stovals pets.
linn, Martin and Sweeney were the regu-
lar players to face the delivery OF Cashlon
in the morning game, with George Neon
nell on the mound. Ford cavOrted at Sec
ond base, ODowd the rookie just out Of
the tail uncut, was at third while Otis,
tho Williams College player, stood on duty
In centre field. Martin was placed a third
base. Daniels covered left field, while
sterrett again covered first. These changes
were necessary by injuries TO Hal Chase
and Stump. who hurt their ankles running
the bases yesterday.
Fearsome and wonderful were the deeds
OF this misft combination In the field. In
due course of time they retired the neces-
sary two dozen men, but not without
weird and mighty struggle which made
the great crowd Of enthusiasts wonder
why are the Yankees and how. O'Dowd
played the leading part in the farce, and
out OF no fewer than eight chances he
made Just three horrible errors which
made life one long sweet song for the op-
position Not far behind and in fact de-
mandlng his share OF the glory, was little
Bert Daniels Two errors In three trials
gave this disciple of Bone Head" Barry
fair average. and on the whole BERTHE
was quite pleased with himself. Likewise
the Washington rooters. Wolverton was
Just ticked to death. Martin. Ford,
Sweeney and Mcconnell also blundered. so
on the whole Otis. sterrett and Zinn. who
played real ball. felt that the team was
discriminating against them.
While Mcconnell may excuse the score "
pointing 10 the error column. 1t If a fact
sad. perhaps. but none the less true
that the Senator's wrecking crew belted
the daylights out OF his most cherished
curves and drops, polling out no fewer than
eleven powerful walops. Since the home
team hit tho ball when hits meant runs,
combining the healthy strong-arm work
with the fielding display. II Is wonder
that tho slaughter stopped where II did.
In the mean while Cashion was none too
good. lie gave eight bases on balls but
ne was strong IN the pinches and won as
lie pleased
Mcbride, at shortstop for the Senators,
was a thorn in the side OF the Yankees,
and his brilliant work stood out In sharp
relief lie had eight assists to his credit
In addition 10 two putouts and the major
ity Of his chances were far from easy
Buzz" Foster paved around the inhcld
at third base. fairly splitting snap and ag-
gressiveness He made a few pick-ups and
throws that had tho crowd bawling It's
applause. and he was called upton to false
his hat several times when he walked TO
tho bench.
Germany schaefer roared and yelled
from one end Of the game to the other
He danced and trotted around, offering
helpful suggestions 10 the Yankees. tell
dies would be put on the ball 10 make
fielding easy and that baskets would be
furnished TO erring outfelders. This last
was said in a tone that even Daniels heard
with Bobbie Groom working at his hest
the chances for New York victory were
below par from the start. and since the
Senators developed a fondness for the
curves Of Jack Quinn. the score was not
surprising 10 those who awaited devel-
opments in the stands. The last word in
adding painful injury TO fragrant insult was
spoken in the second game, when "Roxte'
Roach, tho former Yankee, who two days
ago was secured from the Jersey city
team OF the International League in OK
change for Jack knight, was sent into the
game. Roach faced Quinn only once hut

the opinion OF the New York management
was found wanting. Moeller, Henry and
Morgan led in the number OF hits made
IN tho second game. each getting three.
Clyde Milan got a double and Foster a
triple. while Moeller also made a home
run. s4-.
