Kelly's Team Battles To A Draw With the Senators.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
07-04-1891
 
Kelly's warning to keep a "good eye" on the ball was not obeyed very successfully either, for out of the fourteen innings only six hits were made off Washington's pitcher and these were very well scattered, Kelly himself getting one and Willie Mains two, one a two-bagger. The game throughout was a remarkable one in many respects and abounded in peculiar plays, Hines especially distinguished himself by his puerile playing in which he showed an entire, lack of knowledge of how bases should be run.

On the other hand, Kelly's men on the whole played well and lost the game on inability to hit safe when anyone was on base. Mains' pitching was good, and his fielding perfect. In several instances he reached up in the air and pulled down hits that other players would have mounted step-ladders to get to. Carney played a rather slovenly game at first gab, and was particularly slow in moving around. He appears to be suffering from Charlie horse - anyway that is what Kelly said. Washington started the game with one run in the first, and was unable to score again until the ninth, when the score was tied.

Cincinnati got her two runs in the fourth, Kelly's hit, Canavan's two-bagger, and Dowd's error and here the scoring stopped. In the fifth sixth and seventh innings nine men for Washington went out on flies to the outfield and for four innings not a man reached first base. The score was tied in the ninth on Murphy's hit, Dowd being hit by pitched ball and McQuery's single. The home team had an excellent chance to win in this inning, but Hines threw the game away by foolish base running. From the ninth inning out both clubs played a beautiful game, both sides again and again preventing the winning run by close fielding.

In the twelfth Mains led off with a two bagger, but was thrown out at the plate later on by his slow sprinting. The last half of the fourteenth was over all save one man being put out when a heavy rain stopped the game. Canavan struck out three times out of six at the bat. The game was a postponed one, and will have to be played over again. Kelly and his team left to-night for Baltimore, where they play to-morrow two games. Umpire Davis fined Andrews $10 for abusive talk in the fourth.
