BASEBALL GOSSIP
THESENAT0RSBADLYB BEATEN by
BALTIMORE YESTERDAY,
DANIELS CURVES EASILY SOLVED.
The Team Opens at Atlantic Park This
Afternoon 1T Needs Some
New Pitchers.

The Washington aggregation, or
"ageravatiou. as It has been not
iuaptly called dropped another game o.
tie Baltimore team yesterday, prin.
cirally through the inability of Daniels
TO deceive the heavy hitting Orioles.
They caught the hang Of his delivery in
the sixth inning and made a brace of
Iuns, which was further increased In
% e following inning II the game ha
cease then the score would have been
respectable, but the men whom Barnie
believes 10 be the coming cham
pions, without any regard for the
tender feelings OF Daniels aud the
eight other individuals who represent
this city, went in and batted tho ball
all over the field in the ninth inning.
Nine hits were made, two Of them
triples and the weary Sen ators edited
the crowd with exhibitions Of running.
Nine runs were made through this bat
ting and the errors that Sullivan's men
piled up. But errors counted for very
little In that game, for most of the runs
were earned.
The Baltimorcs made 20 hits, with a
total Of q bases, while the Washing
tons only made hits, with a total Of Is
bases. The local team put In some ex-
cellent work in increasing the size Of
its error column, and pretty nearly
every man on the team had a hand
in Il.
The only satisfaction that Washing
ton enthusiasts can get out of the game
Is the fact that the boys arc keeping up
their hitting. That Is the only morscl
OF comfort that can be had.
THEY ARE HOME.
The Washington team Is at home
again. IL sounds strange that II should
arrive home safe and sound after the
arduous campaign in which Il has en-.
gagged during the past three weeks, but,
nevertheless, II Is true 1t Is scheduled
to play at Atlantic park this afternoon
against the Baltimorcs, and Phillips will
pitch for the local team. Baker will do
the honors for the Orioles, and a good
Y me ought to result.
Three games are scheduled between
the Baltimorcs and Washiugtons, and

T., there ought 10 be some lively bali

tricvC its lost laurels and Il don't want
10 be long In setting about doiog Il.
There Is no reason In the world why
the men should not play better and
winning ball, aud If they cannot do 10.
then others should be obtained who can.
The team, II Il is to draw, must be
made a winning one, and Il cannot be
strengthened too soon. What the club
seems to need now more than anything
else Is couple Of good pitchers. At
present Phillips Is the only one on
whom any dependence can be placed.
Daniels has not demonstrated his
worth as yet. In both games against
the Baltimores he was literally slaurh-
tered. Underwood has not done much
better, and In this respect the team Is
pretty badly of sullivan wants , 90

BROTHERHOOD VICTORY
The Brotherhood club 10 Pittsburg
has driven the League team Ia that city

making arrangements to transfer its |
games. This was brought about By the |
reduction In the admission price the |
Brotherhood club made early IN the /
season. Neither club made cent, and /
only a few hundred people witnessed |
the games. But just as soon as the /

This shows that, while there is no |
abatement of interest in the sport, vet |

The public, OF rather a greater majority /
