A LITTLE LUCK.
Washington Did Not Play Ball Yester-
day-The Results of Games.

Washington did not play ball yesterday and
consequently did not lose. Ted Sullivan, with
eleven Senators, struck Baltimore yesterday
afternoon, and today they and the Orioles will
begin the first regular series between the two
clubs of the season. The Baltimore team, tied
for first place with New Haven. is burning TO
avenge itself for the defeat Of that memorable
May Monday, and wants to take at least three
Of the i've games scheduled. Manager Ted Is
quoted in the Baltimore SIM this morning rs
saying: The Washington Club is still playing
ball. The teams from our city always could
defeat those from Baltimore, and l don't be-
lieve the luck has changed. We have hopes of
doing well in the series here. and when we get
your club over IN our slaughter pen at home
you want to look out"
That's the way to talk. Just at present the
Orioles think that they are the only folks ON
earth, and they really have good cause for
some of this conceit, for on their recent trip
abroad they won games with great regularity.
They made 1l9 runs to 60 by their opponents,
and they are very proud of the feat. Washing
tons new pitching talent will do a great deal ,un-
doubtedly, TO help pull the Senators out of the
rut they occupy at present. as this was really
the only weak spot on the team. NOWADAYS. how
ever. the entire club is weak in batting. but
Manager Ted thinks that this is merely "A streak
that Will expend itself in a day or two. After
a moment or two of sober thought there ought
to be no one OF a disposition to lump on the
team for Its late losing streak. 1t was simply
the natural reaction after the abnormal period
OF winning. There is now a hard fight before
the Statesmen, IA good, stiff. uphill fight that
ought to produce lots of interest here.
