Hriig Hcored on the throw-in; Little-4gf the Martin county team limp s!j0jm‘ rags.i The alleged “bolsters” which Manager Cushing ran In on the Grays after he had signified his intentions of playing his regular lineup failed to deliver the goods. Even Andy Gill fell down on the job before the onslaught of young Sisson’s curves and speed. It was not like Andy to fail to take anything he wanted while in Washington but he just simply could’nt connect with Sisson’s foolers and twice he retired to the bench after chopping amid the screams of some 2,-000 loyal supporters for the Grays. Why, any one who can remember anything at all about athletics here in Washington will recollect that this same Gill used to come down1 here from Linton with the Linton high school and take all the medals and glory home with him in a large sized trunk. The fans all remembered him and it did them morq goodalmost to see Gill strike out a couple of times and fail to get a hit out of the four times up than it did to see the Grays win. The credit is due to young Sisson. When he fanned Gill, who was given the important place of clean-up man in the batting order, the first time he stepped up to the bat, it took some of the starch out of Gill’s team-mates.Sisson should have had a shut out game. He allowed only two hits, one in the fifth and another in the seventh, and Bland, the second sack-er got both of them. The overthrow of “Bunny” Smith to first base wnen he tried to catchBryant singled and was advanced to second by Sisson’s single; Reynolds and Smith fanned and Bryant stole third; Sisson latter taking second; Hicks rapped out a single scoring Bryant and Sisson but was forced out by Edmondson, Littlejohn to Gill.Foutli Inning—Smith, Gill and Garrett fanned in order.Mayer flew out to Gill and Stewart and Mayerhoff fanned.Fifth Inning—Bland singled; McKinney struck out and Haig hit into a double play, Hicks to Smith to Edmondson.Bryant and Reynolds fanned and Sisson went down on a grounder to Smith.Sixth Inning—Williams retiredon fly to Reynolds; McKissick out on grounder to Smith; Littlejohn struck out.Smith singled and took second on Hicks’ sacrifice, Williams to Garrett.

Haig got two bases on the error, was sacrificed to third by Williams and scored on the throw in when McKissick knocked a long fly to Reynolds, out in left. It was a •difficult chance for Reynolds but he nabbed it while he was going backward.. The support given by the Grayswas not of the usual gilt-edged variety for three errors are marked against them, while the Glassworkers played perfect ball in the field. Sisson’s support in the seventh got him in a. bad hole and it looked line Loogootee would score hut the hopes of the Glassworkers were not realized as McKinney fanned out. There were two out in this frame when Garret got two bases when Stewartmuffed his' easy fly. Bland hit aslow one on the left of Sisson.

Hicks fully expected toand took the ball from in front of Hicks ■ but no one was left to receive the ball at first and Bland was safe with a hit. Garrett took third on the play and Loogootee wouldhave scored had McKinney-connected safely hut he went down. on a grounder, Smith to Edmondson.The Loogootee team deserved toGushing. Cushing had given cut theWashington with the regular line-up.Cushing but in spite of his promise three strangers were there, but, thanks to the pitching of Sisson they failed to do what was expected. All three of them, McKissick, Littlejohn and Gill were run in the batting order close together and it was expect-, ed they would bunch hits but—well neither of them scored a hit. Why, in the first half of the ninth Manager Cushing even put in Montgomery, who, it is said has not been good enough for the Glassworkers thisVseason. He was there in a uniform. * ^Sunday however and run in as a pinch hitter Sisson has a hankering for striking out pinch hitters and he satisfied his desire with Montgomery.The Game by Innings.WashingtonABRH.PO AESmith, ss......301191Hicks, 2b ... ..20119—t0Edmondson, lb..3001301Mayer, c....... 3001010Stewart, c-f. 300001Mayerhoff, rf. ..300000Bryant, 3b...... 311010Reynolds, If.. .o • o00oiJ00Sisson, p......311040Total . .26or427173LoogooteeABRHPO' AEMcKissick, cf .O. o00100Littlejohn, c . .3001210Smith, 3b .....00010Gill, ss ......., 4003' 30Garrett, lb.400t00Bland, 2b .....302110McKinney, rf. ..300000Haig, If ......2*10000Williams, p . . . .I.300020’Montgomery . .. 100000• Total27122480'Batted for Smith inninth.1The score byinningsi was:Innings ..1 2 3 4 5 67 S 9•RHELoogootee ..00100000 0—•1 20Washington 00200000 x—-2 4 «31tov•i:ftttfftdfitvr9saascVlit:f.esnO'yosO'O’aBaseball Notes.Sunday’s crowd was the largestthat ever saw a base ball game in.this city.
