ANOTHER DEFEAT.
How the Senators were Slaughtered
Saturday-Other Games.

| Saturday-Other Games.
Among the many reasons assigned by Wash.
| ingtonans for the defeat Of the Statesmen on
Saturday by the Phillies by the score of IA to I
there is none better than that they could NOT
hit Buffnton while O'Day was wild as well as
Ineffective. In addition the superb fielding Of
the victors Only heightened the contrast az
forded by that Of their opponents-by no means
of the same quality. Each one Of the out
ielders made an error and Sweeny, who played
third base, made two. Hallman's, the only
misplay of the Phillies, did not aid in the soil
tary run Of the Statesmen, which was earned.
The batting was all on the side of the Phila-
| deiphias, although some Of the Statesmen did
manage to find the ball once in a great while.
| Shoch made a couple of hits, and Hoy, Carney,
Myers, Wise, and Mack each one, making seven
| in all. On the other hand, their opponents not
| only hit often, but very hard. Deiehanty made
| a triple and three singles. Clements a home
| run and two singles, Fogarty two doubtless and
so on until the total of safe hits was swelled to
| sixteen. Mack retired from behind the bat in
the seventh inning and Banning took his place.
! ODay gave nine men bases on balls and hit
another.

THE COMING SERIES.
Indianapolis here, Chicago at Philadelphia,
Cleveland at New York, Pittsburg at Boston.
This will be the first battle between the east
and the west. Heretofore there has been no
standard by which to judge the merits of the
two sections. Each has had a little picnic by
itself, in which one club has pounded another
without much reference to pitchers. But now
will come decisive test from out of which it is
generally thought the east will come off victor-
Gus. Seven OF the league clubs are very closely
punched, that two games either way will
cause a scurrying up and down the ladder.
But while all this hurry and change of place
takes place the Senators pursue dignitied
course, going on In the even tenor of their
way with a supreme indifference to place-hunt-
ing. They start the week with percentage of
167, several points ahead of Louisville in the
association. Whitney will pitch and Hines will
play first base to-day for the HOLSTERS.
THE HOME TEAM.
Charges have been published that members
<Ie oh IL
and carousing since the opening of the league
season, and that this is responsible to a large
extent for the poor record of the club thus far
President Hewett.when asked about the matter
by STAR reporter to-day, stated emphatically
that the management was ignorant of any such
condition of affairs. and expressed indignation
that the reputation of all the members
of the team should have been unjustly attacked
Il think it but due to the management. the
team. and the public" said MIR. Hewett, that
the person making the charge of intemperance
against the men should at once substantiate the
charge. II there is any such condition of
affairs we want to know it. in order that we
may discipline the guilty ones We know that
one man was drinking and he fined and re-
leased. We will unhesitatingly mete out
severe punishment to any others that are found
guilty of like misconduct. But don't think it
is right to hit all the men in the dark"
WHAT MANAGER MORRILL, SAYS.
Manager Morrill, said yesterday: 'It would be
bad enough if it were true, but it is ten times
worse since 1t is absolutely untrue I have
never played ball with as sober quiet, orderly
or easily managed team in my life"
He is very much grieved to think that the
ill-luck that has followed the club should be
ascribed to such a cause, foreign as it is to
the real condition of things. Not
very many days ago the management
bethought itself of plan to make test case of
exxa xuhe 10 how %ha
bility in this line on the team. Every move
ment he made was watched for a week, and
utterly unconscious that he was being observed
he carried himself in the most upright manner
drinking not even glass of soda water. nor
entering bar-room during the entire period
In view of this fact and Manager Morrili's con-
fidence in the sobriety of his men. it is only
fair to the team to call for better treatment.
President Young has received telegram
from the Cleveland people stating that they
waived all claim to the services of Catcher
DAILY. late of Chicago. This will leave Daily
free to sign with Washington.
Philadelphia has released John G.. Kirby
STILL CONFIDENT.
President Hewett is greatly disappointed
that the Senators should have met with such
poor success, but he is not cast down, and
promises that his team shall yet make them
selves felt.
He has an eve to strengthening his club and
in short time the public may hear something
that will revive confidence, notwithstanding
that Irwin was not secured from PHILADELPHIA
81 The difference between a loose vague
boast and an affidavit giving exact figures is a
wide one, and of great significance to person
interested in the statement The STAR s,oears
to its circulation. This is a point of great i'm
portance to advertisers.
