RECORD OF THE WEEK.

RECORD OF THE WEEK
The week mas not been altogether unsatisfac-
tory, being productive OF one defeat and three
victories. It would have been four victories had
II not been for the unfortunate storm on Thurs
day that stopped the game just as the Senators
were beginning TO bat pitcher Maui. On Mon
day the score stood ID to in favor OF Indianapo-
curves and hit him safely Is times while the SEN
ators could do nothing effective with MofreUs
work. on Tuesday the batteries were ODay and
Deasley, and Shreve and Buckley. The States
men had batting streak in the first two Innings
and won, 10 1, IN spite OF their miserable held
Ing. on Wednesday everybody expected defeat
buS the Washington men surprised even
themselves an dwhitewashed the Pittsburg-4 too
This delightful result must have been owing TO
the presence OF Manager Ted sullivan on the
bench, for the men played with a snap and vigOr
seldom seen OF late. Whitney and Mack and Morris
and Carroll were the batteries. The only misplay by
the senators was Do1nelly'5 drop OF a hard bali
that did not count On Thursday our luck pre-
vented victory, and yesterday The hearts or the
enthusiasts were heavy until Myers saved the
game by MS timely three-bagger
The temperance Of Mr.. sullivan seems to have
had good effect There have been stories fioat-
Ing around about certain OF the men keeping late
hours, and hints have been thrown out that
the club was on the point OF dlsbandinQ but n
dne presen. gait Is Kept up there need be no fears
lew games such playing as that OF Wednesday and
Friday will De sure TO be rewarded.
There Is another thing Mr.. sullivan has done
since his return that is good move He gets the
men out to practice every morning at an early
hour ana keeps them Aarc at work for some time
NOTES FROM THE BALL FIELD
Clin Carroll has signed with the Buffalo team
Nothing could have been more satisfactory than
the manner In which the Senators have recently
learned 10 sacrifice themselves and their records

terday was remarkable instance or this
IL was the almost unanimous opinion at the
grounds yesterday than Myers deserved the honor
OF clearing the bases with a three-b agxer more
than any other man on the team, for IN. reason

results from IL.
There is a peculiar thing about Myers. When
he nrst came here he was placed at shortstop and
he made miserable failure there This made The
crowd down on him. anu his early days in WASH
ington were fun OF Misses. Now that he has found
ms rlGht position and Is playing and batting well
he receives great deal OF applause, but he re-
members the old days and refuses TO raise his hat
lie cannot forget.
Myers and snoch make o good team at second
and short. SAocn ls improving IN his throwing 10
nrst base. AT H. ST he threw too low, but now he
nils the bill exactly.
Hoy and WiIm1t are another team When How
gets his base Wilmot works TO advance him. He
usually waits couple OF balls TO let the little man
go down, ana then he tries to hit. II Hoy Is on
third Wllmot Will dance around first and try to
get caught between bases, SO as 10 give Hoy a
chance 70 score: This sort OF work often pays
expected OF man who had not been behind the
batter for several years. He is doing by far the
best work Washington has seen this season. and
promises to become great ravorite His best
trait Is Ia keeping the game going from the tap OF
Oell until Tue last man Is out.
