THE CASH CYCLING LEAGUE
SENATORS LOSE AGAIN.

An other Close Game With the Cincinnatis-
Excellent Playing.
The Senators lost two hotiy contested games
to the Cincinnatis on Saturday and yesterday.
Cincinnati won on Saturday by 10 4 and yes
terday by to 6. Sullivan pitched for the Red
Legs on the former day and King and Dryer
yesterday Only one error was made by the
Senators Saturday and none yesterday. Not q
son OF Cincinnatus reached first on errors They
were finely played games and the visitors were
beaten solely through the skill Of the pitchers
and the expertness Of the felders when hit
meant success. 1t is certainly no disgrace to
lose two such games, though, Of course, it's
victories, not fine play, that the average crank

1t Is refreshing to read the base ball columns
OF the Baltimore papers. They support their
club through thick and thin and have about

that they have about the greatest team in ex-
istencs, and that it's only hard luck and biased
umpires that keep them from the pennant

In which to excuse his defeats and the excuses
