the Senators hit Garrison In Q reasonably lively
manner, the hits were wei scattered, and the
two runs that were made were unearned.

THE WEEKS WORK.
Two OF the finest and two OF the worst games Of
ball ever seen In washington were played during
the past week. On Monday, through O'Days won.
derful pitching and O'Brien's timely home run,
the game with New York was tied after twelve
inninga On Tuesday both sides did some farcical
work, the New York finally pulling out ahead In
the seventh inning. On wednesday ODay did
some more OF his flne work against Garrison. car

ton made one run in the eleventh and won the game
On Thursday Gilmore went In for washington and
was both ineffective and wild, Boston hitting him
ten times and winning the game TO 2. Yester-
days contest was little better than the average
game, O'Day's good work being continued. The
only deduction to be drawn from the
record Of the week Is that washington must
strengthen its batting team besides purifying
up some bad holes In the inf1eld. Practically there
are but two men to do effective work behind the
bat, Mack and Deasley, and but two men TO do the

Is developing the weakness OF the team instead OF
its strength, and while there is no doubt that the
club Is playing better ball than last year, 1t is not
playing winning ball To be sure both the teams
that have been here are league leaders, and II Is
not to be wondered at that the Senators have not
done BETTER in view OF the excellent condition OF
both visiting teams. The club will leave here after
to-days game and will play in Philadelphia next
week. Thence they 60 to Chicago indianapolis.
Detroit, Pittsburg and New York, returning nome
to play the ChtcagOes two games on Decoration
Day. They will play twenty-four games before
they return, and the home patrons should feel en-
couraged ifthey win ten OF them.
