The first inning when they made several
rors and began TO bat McCoy's delivery so hard
that he had to be taken out of the box. They
finally tied the score in the seventh. But the
Invisible Washington mascot got in its work
Just then and the Senators did some very
timely batting that pulled the game out of
small aperture. 1t was a close, exciting con-
test and was well worth larger attendance.

was very effective until the eighth inning. Nc
Coy seemed to be Just what the visitors had
been looking for. as in the third inning they
pounded him for four runs. three of them

regularly puZzlIng work. WashngtOn's field
ing game beautiful, Bader and Gleason
making the only errors on hard Founders. The

bad playing being IN the first inning, when the
Senators made four undeservcd tallles. The
Wilmingtons tied the score in the seventh

Wilmington does not draw very large crowds. |
James GallIgan gave but one base on balls.
Whistler could not bat at all yesterday, strik- |

The Buffalo tobogCan still continues. The |
ex-Senators are now III the seventh place.
The Washington balloon Is still rising. II is |
now almost out OF reach.
Wilmington has frst-class outfeld good |
catcher and an excellent second baseman The |
first short and third are weak
Iace Will probably be put into the box for |
Newark IN one of the games here and he NAV |
be expected to pitch great ball against his old /
team.
Newell the fat third baseman OF Whining |
ton has about as infantile a style of coaching |
as can be found He sputters like steam |
pipe valve and makes weird, peculiar noises |
that earn Tor him the name OF SKY rocket
Umpire Valentine did some pretty stiff talk !
ing to Manager Simmons of the visiting club |
yesterday. Simmons tried to stand I'D inside |
OF the players lines while the game was in /
progress and coach the man at the bat Valen- /

summons that he could either sit down on his |
bench or leave the grounds. He sat down
There Is bad row IN the Philadelphia broth |
erhOod club. FOgarty's resignation. noted |
yesterday. was the nTSt outward evidence which |
led to an inquiry. 1t has developed that when I
EoSarty was appointed to the position he told |
Presldent Love. IN the presence of the PLAYERS.
that he expected TO have complete control of |
the team. and that there should be no Interior
ence by the officers. Love did not relish this \
and began TO argue. One word led to another
ana row Resulted IN which Love, it Is said |
grew "ngntlug mad shaking his fist in
Fogarty's face and telling the men that in two |
weeks the great fielder would not be captain or
manager. EoSarty then preferred charges be-
fore the board OF directors against Love and .
each demanded an apology. While an inves-
ugatlng committee was at work Fogarty re-
signed and Will probably not play again un-
less the club Is recognized and Love retired !
Manager BarnIe has spoken. He claims that
he has the best team in the Atlantic Associa-

goes so far as TO say that he would have won
the American peEGant had he remained in that |
association BarnIe Will have to do some ball |
playing to demonstrate this.
The Atlantic race stands as follows:
