LEAGUE GAMES PLAYED sATURDAY-THE SENATOR'S
CHANCES.
The Senators had a decidedly on day on satur-
day, and presented Boston with game, score 8 TO
B. by means OF errors and by falling TO bat The
extremely warm weather made good ball-playing
difficult task. The batteries were Whitney and
Mack and Sowders and Tate. Boston made l2
hits and 5 errors, and Washington hits and l2
errors.
Detroit dragged the Hoosiers around the dia-
mond and dropped them at the end OF the ninth

and Shreve and Kelly were the batteries. Detroit
made IA hits and errors, and Indianapolis hit

SUNDAY CANES.
At New York-Brooklyn II, Baltimore s. At
Observation-Disclosures IL, Louisville 4.
II is not unlikely that the Senators will be again
defeated to-day, and In such a case their record is
sure TO suffer, for the Hoosiers and the Pittsburgs
play at Indianapolis, and unless there should be
tie game the precarioas hold Washington has
obtained on seventh place is certain TO be weak
ened. II Indianapolis should win the two would
then be tie, while If Pittsburg should win the
sixth place would be slipping out OF reach.
II is an unfortunate situation, and it
can only be helped by winning the game In BoS-
ton In that case, and II Pittsburg should lose, as
really seems probable, the Statesmen viii be en-
titled to a position behind the Phillies Irwin
played at third on Saturday ana made some or the
errors. Hoy and Myers were the only men play
ing perfectly, all or the Others indulging In
making that smacked Of the ante-sullivan days.
