"With the bases full and one man out Charley RelUy stopped Lally's liner and completed a double play unassisted. It was a moment of relief, and Mercer was pulled out of a hole in the first as tllck as greased pole. It was the opening game with the much defeated St Louis team and the content ended In favor of the Senators by a score of 6 to 1. DeMontreville was rewarded for his honesty of the day before. Some friends presented him with a little hatchet, nicely trimmed with silk ribbons, the colors of the American rlag. It was, a happy thought and the 1,800 spectators ap plauded There was aaotherGeorge Wash ington in yesterday's game, and also a fdlow who did not tell the truth. Both v.ore the uniforms of tlie Browns Hartnan put the last man out in tlie eighth inning, aud when Mercer looked for the ball it oould not be found. Umpire Kelly asked the heavy-footed St Louisian what he did with the ball. "I rolled it to XAto piU lier's box," was the false reply. Later, wLeu the holder of the indicator de manded t new ball and proce?dsd to take forceful iwseMou of the satchel contain ing the balls, Ballraan acted in the spirit of the rather of his country and gave up the missing sphere. Umpire Klly has not Improved in his Tiork since he made his debut in this city He wa off yesterday on balls and btrikes and his base decisions were unsatisfactory to both teams He declared Brown out at the plate when the Senatorial captain thought he was safe, and again decided Selbach bafe, and Morgan Murphy became frenzied with anger and disgust. The iDfield of the home team worked as accurately as a first-class cabh register Wrigley awoke the dying enthusiasm by taking Donahue's grounder on the right of second base In the seventh and snapped the hall to Tucker two steps In front of the batter It was a regular Herman Long play, and the yearling had to throw the ball over DeMontreville, who otooped to avoid obstruction. Reillv's work was highly sensational wl Oie way through He covered a lot of ground, and not being satisfied with his own territory, he invaded Wrigley's, gather lng grounders in faultless ttyle He smoth ered Douglas hit in the eighth, and while In motion threw accurately to Tucker. Gcitiuan caught two hard files He hail to do tome rapid work to get them, and his motion is decidedly that of a ball player He was hit once and bunted one time, but was'caught at first on a throw by Murphy Farrell showed an improvement in throwing and was somewhat agile. He had his batting eye with hitn and cracked out throe ringles Donahue fooled Tucker the first time up, but after that Thomas hit Fifely each time. Morgan Murphy gave a new exhibition or throwing out the runner at second base. Tlio stocky catcher has a wonder fully strong arm, and throws with great accuracy. In the fifth. Tucker was on firrt, and as Donahue shoved up one of his slows. Morgan dashed past the bat ter, got the ball six feet in front of the base and th man with a voice was an easy out to Cross. The i isltofs opened . on Mercer In a cevagc manner, and in the first and sec ond innings they hit him for four singles After that the handsome Buckeye was Invincible, .and only three straggling singles were made off him. He mixed his delivery more than usual, which kept the Browns guessing. Cross and Hartmau found him for two each, but the latter tawed the air the last time up. The tail-euders were sent to the bat first, and only marvelous fielding stepped a landslide. In tlie second Murphy singled and went to third on Harlej's safety, because of a general misunderstanding between Tucker, Mercer and DeMontreville as to who was to cover the base. No one got there and the ball rolled ten feet away. Harley hclieving he had a cinch on second turned and, realizing that all was not safe, went back to the bag. DeMontreville passed the ball to Mercer and Dick was out Murphy went to third on the play and scored the only tun on Hallmau's out to Tucker. Selbach bgan the hitting In the first, tnd wan safe on the initial hag, but -ivlieit bo essayed to no a. base stealer the ball beat liim to second. Gcttuian got a ribber and waH advanced to becond on DcMoutieville'H out, -coring on Farrell's rtngle, tho latter going to second on Crss' error, where he died. Reilly wnt out an ordinary triple in the becond, hut got no farther than second. He scored on Wrigley's scorcher to right for tn o bates. The latter died at third, which he reached on Mercer's outf at first, on Donahue's assist. The Senators scored one in the third. Gellman flew out, DeMontreville singled. He tiled to iteal second, but was thrown out Then Farrell, Brown and Tucker hit safely and the big catcher went home. Farrell, Brown and Tucker repeated their singles in the fifth, and again the duke scored In the pixtb, singles by Keilly, Selbach and Geltnian, Harley'a eiror and Wrig ley's ne.xt sacrifice sent in two runs.
