IL may not be generally known that the local
club has batting average of over 400 for the
past five games and over 300 for the past seven
games. 1t has been one of the most remarka-
bic things in base ball history. BY the way
Yesterdays game with the Baltimores started
out It looked as though batting averages were
not to be increased. Cobb was in the box for
the visitors and he had at first considerable
speed. But he used no head work. did not
study the peculiarities of his opponents and as
matter Of course they soon took his measure
he was numerically pounded. six three-bsg-
gers, one double and two home runs being
made. His catcher, Robinson. tried to give him

In the box principally. Their batting yesterday
was good, but killen managed TO keep hits
scattered. and was given excellent support up
to the ninth inning. when muffs were made by
Larkin and Dowd. but they cost nothing
Scoring began in the second. Richardson hit
past Halligpn for a single and scored on killen's
triple to left center In the fourth Miiligan hit
to right for triple, but was foolishly run in by
Irwin on an infield hit of Donovan's. OF course
he was put out. Irwin has propensity to run
base runners to the plate prematurely. As a
well-known baseball authority remarked yester-
day, Irwin loses every close game for the

Dowd opened with a triple down toward the
hospital and was carelesslv caught between
bases on Hoy's hit to Shndle. Both stumbled

Ssindle had deliberately spiked Dowd. This is
not the fact. 1t was purely accidental Shindle

players on the ball field and was never known
to spike player. Larkin lifted the ball into
the pen shut off bya netting from right field
and he and Hoy scored. Donovan singled TO
left center. richardson hit to Shoch, who
threw to McGraw. Donovan rushing down 10
second coflided with McGraw with considerable
force and knocked the ball from his hands.
Van Haltren protested. but Umpire sheridan
declared the runner safe. As Sheridan has
ample backbone the decision went. Kien then
lifted the ball TO the cheer up" sign, one of
the longest hits of the season. and cleared the
bases. Robinson followed with triple to left
and scored on Shoch throw over the catcher's
head. Six runs we're the result of all this
pounding.
Baltimores runs were made on timely hitting
both safe and by sacrifice. Cobb scored in the

the sixth on a single. Shoch's sharp hit along
the line TO Robinson, which was neatly stopped
with one hand by Robbie and thrown to
Lnrkin. and singles by WEIGH and Gunson. Cobb
secured another run in the seventh on a hit to
| right. base on balls and Shoch's single This
ended the scoring.
Umpire Sheridan made his first appearance
here and created good impression. His judy
ment on balls and strikes was the best shown
by any umpire here this season. On base de-
cislons he properly gave the runner the benefit
of the doubt.
1t has been some time since the managers of
the Washington club have INDUCED in their
| favorIte game Of SNAKE EN- up or here We lose
again.. Consequently the announcement that
Raymond is to replace Robinson on third and
the latter is to take Dowd's place ON second to-
day will create no great amount of surprise
Why Dowd should be replaced no one on earth
knows and the move will be decidedly unpopu-
lar. Mr.. Wagner thinks Robinson will cover
the ground better.
Probably in the interests Of economy Fore
man has been released. He is an excellent
pitcher. but has not been given enough work
this year TO keep him in condition. Abbey
takes his place.
Raymond has reported here, but Donovan has
not gone to Pittsburg, as was agreed. Duffee is
i'll and Donovan will be kept, although Pitts
burg has appealed TO President Young to make
Washington abide by Its agreement. As a re-
suit OF the deal we now have two third base
men and no left fielder. "Great head work.

Burns played in right field for Pittsburg YES

St Louis and Cincinnati had no games
