WHAT THE STATESMEN HAVE DONE.
The Statesmen have done pretty well thil
week, considering the fact that the team Is, Il
some extent, in q process Of reorganization
Dunlap's accident on Monday and the absence
OF Hines had the effect Of keeping the efforts o.
the nine ct nought, but the games Of Thursday
and yesterday seemed to show that the mer
were IN shape again, and the promise is thai
they are now in pretty fair trim. There hal
been good deal Of effort on the part of the
management to I'LL the weak spot at the third
base, but SO far without much success. Davis
however, seems to be doing somewhat better
and It may be that he will improve SO that be
win be a valuable man on the bag. At present
he Is OF little use unless his light hitting can BE-
called Of any benefit.
THAT MAN Dowp.
Dowd has shown himself to be great find
and his work has practically revolutionizsd the
team. Burns, the new outfelder, has not vel
appeared in the uniform of Senator. He will
probably be put in right field and Visner may
be brought up behind the bat. Mcclure is do
ing well enough there, but one man cannot dc
ening. Hart il not the catcher that MCGUIRE
Is and it would be folly to depend upon him for
q game at any time when there is such talent as
that which Visner 10 known to possess at hand.
NEED OF CAPTAIN.
The matter Of field captain is being seriously
discussed by the management and there will
likely be change before long. visner is too
far out in the field for field coaching, even
II he Is kept out there. and he does not seem to
show the right amount Of snap in keeping men
moving when they are playing. There is little
system in the coaching when men are on bases
and several runs have been lost BY this fact
The crowds have kept at about /, 200 or so, and
seem TO be slightly on the increase since the
first falling of. There il q good deal Of en-
sAobS~oAu awoAcHeV ny tue rccent playing. and
II the team but shows itself capable Of winning
majority Of the games played on the home
grounds, which they have not yet done, the at
tendance will be satisfactory.
Today game will be the last on these grounds
for several days. The men go to Baltimore
Monday morning for q series Of four games
there and thence to Boston for three more On
the 9Th OF May the team will return home to
play each of the western clubs on these
grounds. This series will include sixteen
games, and will end on the Gath Of May, pre-
ceding an equally long trip abroad.
Of the men who have taken part in all of the
eleven games played by the home team Nc
Query leads in batting with twelve hits Hat
field. Nisner and Mcclure have made ten each.
Beecher has made eight. Hatfield Is the run
getter, having made eleven, or one to each
game. Dowd, Of course, has the best average,
having made hits and runs in two games.
The team has made 40 runs, 81 hits and Az err
rors, to 10 runs, los hits and 70 errors by their
opponents.
