THE RECORD OF TIE WEEK.
The Senators have not covered themselves with
particular glory during the past week, having won
1 game and lost 8; but they have secured good
hold on seventh place which is far better than the
notch below, and they seem to have eager, II not
oye- hopeful, eyes on sixth. But the re- vi RI y
with which Pitts0urg has been winning has damp
ened their expectations somewhat, and unless
some OF the higher cubs take mighty tumble be-
fore long the Statesmen likely u finisn next TO
the last On Monday and Wednesday the team
Monday, with Keefe and ODay IN the box,
the New Workers had the best Of the
batting contest and did little better In the eld
Tuesdays raip-siorm prevented what might have
been another defeat. Wednesdays game should
not lave been o wh1te-waSn, but IT was and Mr.
Kelly helped the visitors along BY means or some
very SafTrOn-hued decisions. The home team
squeezed out a victory on Thursday by better
neiding and by obtaining lead In the first in
ming through careless tielding by Boston which vas
Altogether the week has brought forth about
what was 10 be expected Keefe and WEIGH have
maintained their well-earned regulations OF being
the best pair Of twirlers In the League, and The

gretled.
BAsI-BAL NOTES.
shoch's work al snort Yesterday was one OF the
features OF the game. He accepted nine chances
Without an error.
Ray was not lar behind Shoch In this kind OF
work, making seven assists without misplay. 1t
was great Jay for shOrtstopS
The statesmen ran bases yesterday both sue
IN that respect except 10 two Instances, when
Whitney ran nome In the secon1 and wnen Mack
ran 10 third In the seventh. Both men should
have sid and trusted to their extreme length to
reach the bases safely.
The game bore considerable resemblance to a
nrst-claSs Minstrel show, minus the music. The
two kelly'S player and umpire, furnished amuse-
ment Us end men, and the audience was quick TO
see their 1oAcs. The WORK or Mr.. Kelly the
umpire, was OF The Snaky order, and he lost q
great deal OF prestige when he began 10 swear al
anu argue with spectator In the grand stand.
His familiarity with the players, too, showed bad
taste.
SRvch's coaching Is unique. He does not seem
70 have any lack or words regarded merely Us SO
much sound, and he rattles them out In surpriS-
Ing manner. II Is particularly funny when Hoy
Is on base. With Shoch ON one side and WilmoI,
perhaps, on the other, one would believe that
Hoy's ar1ictton was myth, and that he really
could hear. But the talk serves Its purpose In
diverting the attention OF the pitcher.
Fuller Is down In Virginia nursing his wounded
mead II proved o harder bow than at rirst
thought, and he Is doing his best to get In shape
again.
O'Day Is suffering from a very sore foot. It was
injured by an accident, and Is badly liberated
Winner Will ne pitched until the injunction Il
served.
II is said that the home management Is after q
local anna eur named Campbell, VINO used TO prac.
tice with Paul Hines. He Is large man, a good
left-nelder and nrst baseman and u heavy hitter
