Twelve safe hite were made by the Baltimore “birdies,” two of them triplesand four of them doubles. He gave three men first on balls and made a wild pitch. This sort of work is hardly of the menal class, though it’s by no means as bad as that on Wednesday. The game abounded in brilliant plays on both sides. The Orioles, after losing the game once through errors, winning it again by good batting and baserunning, finally through errors aliowed the Washizgtons to make it a tie and game was culled on account of darkness.

Ward was given a base on balls, and O'Rourke reached first on Larkin's failt:re to hold Berger's throw. Stricker was the second inan' out on a short fy to right field, but Robinson scored Ward and O'Rourke with his two-bagger along the third base foul line.
