Washington and Baltimore Tied for
First Place.


We are no longer in the lead. The Senators
and Orioles are now neck and neck-in a tie for
first place in the Atlantic Association contest
and all Baltimore is wild with Joy thereat. The
reason of this is that Washington was unmer-
cifully logged in New Haven yesterday by the
score of IA to 2, while Baltimore won almost as
decisively from Jersey City-lO to 2. 1t was a
most frightful defeat for the Senators, and the
1900 people who saw the game were almost
frantic. Mccoy, Maloney, Nicholas and Bird
all tried their hands in the points for Washing
ton, while Horner and Hofford suficed for the
victors. Mccoy AMI Nicholas were kept in for
three innings. and then. with the score to
against Washington, Maloney was substituted
and Bird was brought in from the field to catch.
1t was a fatal change. for the Yanks immedi-
ately began to bat and had virtual picnic
Three more runs in the fourth, one i'll the fifth
two in the seventh and five earned runs in the
eighth completed their score. Washington
fielded very badly, Whistler making three
errors. Lally secured two home runs and two

in triple play. Washington made 8 hits and
Serrors and New Haven IA hits and errors

Manager Sullivan has found new pitcher
named Fred Underwood, who halls from Kansas
City. He will join the team in Jersey City

Baltimore is crazy over the change in the
standing. Wait and there may be some more
changes 70 howl about
Wilmington has aiken a start and may win a
dozen straight.
The home team is undoubtedly weak in the
box, and does not bat as it should, but it is
playing under a certain disadvantage. This
streak will not last.
Manager sullivan writes thus to friend in
town: You must no. jump on team that has
been playing the ball the Washington Club
has. You know hat there are clubs in the At
lan.ic League just as good as Washington is.
Furthermore. so long we get near the top at
the end of the season we will be doing well. Il
is the steady pull that counts and not false
starts"
