NOW FOR THE SENATORS.

Long Series Hero This Afternoon.

The Eastern Fellows VIII Commence .
Long Series Hero This Afternoon.
To-day the important series of ball games
between the Eastern and Western teams
will commence. Each team are scheduled
for ls games and the Washingtons will play
two extra in this city, making 20 for them
and the local team.
The series will be very important one, as
it will go a long way in determining what
team shall take first place. The Clevelands
are in the lead at present, and they have the
best of it, as the teams that are pressing
them will all be away from home for three
weeks.
Pittsburg's team are also favored.as all the
teams that are ahead of the locals are East
ern teams, except Cleveland. But the East
ern teams are playing verv well. The New
York and Baltimore teams are much
stronger than they were during the first
half OF the season.
The Senators will open up here this after
noon. They are playing good game, and
the Pittsburg team. 1t is likely that Killen
and Ehret will be the pitchers
A dispatch from New York has the follow
ing to say OF the series about to begin:
"With considerable anxiety the clubs
of this section OF the country, which
form the League Association, look for-
ward to the approaching lam lanes ,,Ir in
ney at the conclusion of Saturday after.
noon's games in Brooklyn, Philadelphia and
Baltimore, respectively, and will be gone
until September s. after which they will re-
turn to play a series of games in this sec
tion with the Western teams This "trip
will be the only one that the clubs of this
section will mako to the West and If they
are near the top three weeks hence, they
will have a much better chance to carry of
the honors at the close of the season than
any OF the Western teams.
"Boston and Philadelphia are again forging
to the 'front.' ana the New Yorks and Brook
lyns will not be unimportant elements in
the race. The setback received by the New
Yorks at Philadelphia did not discourage
the local players. They are in excellent
condition for the approaching series. The
addition OF Mcmahon and King to the team
will allow Manager Powers to keep his IN
field intact. Doyle and Mcmahon are two
excellent catchers throwers and batters.
the latter has OF yet given the Polo ground
patrons an opportunity OF seeing him catch,
but his work in the games at Philadelphia
was very gratifying. He came to Manager
Powers with the highest Recommendation
from Kansas City, and SO tar he has sur
passed the anticipations Of the genial little
manager"
