L altimores Found the Curves of Gus Weyhing to Be Easy. + game at Baltimore Saturday resulted in an overwheiming defeat of the Senators, the Orioles getting 14 runs to our repre- ptatives’ 3. Gus Weyhing was an easy ark for the Raltimores in the first three innings, 13 runs being made in that time, but when the veteran found that Manager Irwin was not to be trifled with and that vould have to finsh the game he settled , and from that point out twirled his known game, only one more run being scared. Weyhing, like several other Senators, is evidenUy sore at the infusion of young Tr blood in the team, but his likes and dislikes will cut a sorry figure with the new man- ager. The veterans were given all the lati- tude possible to win games, and they made such a poor showing that they have only themselves to blame for the radical turn matters have taken. McJames pitched his usual good game, and took it easy throughout the contest when it was seen that the Senators would be an easy proposition. The batting of McGraw, Keeler and Holmes was the fea- ture of the game, these three players get- ting eleven out of the nineteen hits made off of Weyhing. The new men under Man- ager Irwin played good ball in the face of the terrific hitting, Casey and Gatans com- ing In for a good share of the praise. “Buck” Freeman continued his consistent hitting, getting two nice singles to his credit. Cincinnati, 5: Cleveland, 4. The Cincinnati and Cleveland clubs played a double-header in the former city yester- day, the Ewingites winning the first gamo by 5 to 4, while the second was a draw, 2 to 2. It took eleven innings to decide the first game, and only five innings were play- ed in the second on account of darkness. FIRST GAME.
