Jones, Jr., Manager. ap20-284 a! | O'Brien, at second, smothered nine chances neon at National Park, from the Boston aggregation, by the score of 5 to 3, before a gathering of about 2,500. If ever a game was won by three men, Mercer, De Montreéville and Brown cer- tainly did this trick yesterday. Brown's flelding in center field was of the most sensational order, two of his catches be- ing of the hair-raising order, and shut off home runs. Mercer pitched a masterly game, and he and De Montreville made ¥ out of the 11 hits secured by the home team, the latter getting 5 of them safe. wis went in the box for the Bean- caters, as Manager Selee remarked that all the clubs were hitting his best pitchers, and he thought he would try one that was not a star, but, while the ex-collegian pitched masterly ball, the support back of him was very yellow, Lowe at second los- ing three out of nine chances, and they came at the most inopportune time. Ten- ney, Long and Collins also secured places in the error column. Stahl, the new man in right for the Bostons, continued his good work, playing a hard position on the local grounds superbly and securing two its. Mercer was hit more frequently than Lewis, but toward the end of the game gave as fine an exhibition of twirling as any one anes wish for. bog a at good twirling, the players oO! im, with the exception of De Montreville’s high throw to first, fielded perfectly, Relily get- ting six chances without an error, and without a miss, several of them being very difficult. 7 The Senators were sent to the bat first, just to change the luck, as Manager Schmelz said, but they failed to tally at the start off. In the second their good luck came to the front, as they only hit safe twice, but scored four runs, the errors of Long and Collins being very much in evi- dence. Blanks came their way for the next six innings, but in the ninth they tal- lied again on Mercer's safe hit, two steals, an error by Lowe and DeMontreville’s fifth safe single. The Beaneaters failed to score in the first two innings, but in the third Hamilton's two-baggers, a fielder’s choice and a fly to the outfield gave them one run. In the fourth another run came their way, and an earned one at that. Stahl ham- mered out @ three-sacker, and Lowe fol- lowed with a single, but the latter was left on three successive outs. In the fifth they got their third and last run on a single by Tenney, a fielder’s choice, a stolen base, a wild pitch and a single. The last four in- nings gave the Beaneaters ciphers in reg- ular order. e Es Umpire Hurst .was ate reaching the grounds, on account of injury received at Philadelphia, but the little fellow acted the part of arbitrator in a perfectly sat- isfactory gnanner.* be.
