FATAL WEAKNESS IN THE BOX.
Pitcher Duryea's wndness Gave Another
Game to tho Orioles.
The league clubs rank IS follows;

The Baltimore club put up another good
game Saturday and the Senators, Handicapped
by the absence Of several Of its best players
and Duryea's Wild pitching. lost the game BY
the score Of to s. The home club started Of
by making two runs in the first inning, but a
disastrous error by Hoy in left allowed the
visitors to score two runs and tie the score
In the third the Baltfnores secured three runs,
which can be charged almost wholly 10 Duryea's
wildness, as he sent man after man to base on
balls and forced runs ovsr the home plate. In
this inning the work Of Radford shone out with
particular bIIghtness, he capturing a wild
thrown ball by Mcclure and holding the run
ner on third base. The feat was remarkable, az
the runner was half way to third when the
play was made and every one expected to see q
run scored. The Baltimore players on the
bench were dumfounded and words Of praise
came from all of them. In the eighth inning
the Baltimores again scored, three runs cross
ing the plate. They then stopped, the score
standing eight. The Senators scored one run
in the seventh and two In the ninth. making a
total of five. yickery pitched a strong game
and his club nit the ball when 1t came over the
plate. This in q nutshell accounts for the VIC
tory. Great objection was found to Maculler' s
umpiring. but Mac is not q home umpire and
consequently has a hard row to hoe. He re-
ceives the same treatment in Baltimore when
he offieiates there. and very few kicks come
from the visiting club when he is doing the
honors. The Senators were outplayed, pure
and simple, and the umpire affected the score
but slightly.

il is said that Pitcher Jones. the "phenom"
from Louisville. will report today.
Another despairing effort is 10 be made for
Mulvey. A man who won't come willingly isn't
worth having. The same team PLAYED right
along in same positions is worth dozen exper-
iments. The amount Of energy expended in
hunting for new feeders if devoted to getting
one or two pitchers would soon put Washing
ton in the first division.
