DEFEATED IRWIN's MEN.
Mercer Pitched Well and the Local
Team Played Good Ball.

AS yesterdays base ball game was the
last one PRIOR to short trip to Philadel-
phia, where the home team plays today and
Monday, the Senators appeared before the
spectators in their iridescent away-going
uniforms, ard the aspirations of the pen
nant-seekng Philadelphians received a sud
den check from their hands. The brilliant
hued crimson caps of the local club fairly
dazzled the eyes of the Quakers so that
they could not hit the ball safely more than
once an inning-with one exception-and
during the whole game only one of the erst-.
while cripples succeeded ir making the cir
cult of the bases end crossing the plate
This was big Sam Thompson, who secured
lis first on an error and reached third on
another, coming home as Grady hit past
Joyce.
Not another of Arthur TWINS men could
get past third during the rest of the game
and very few got even that far. However,
il was sharp fielding that prevented their
scoring on several OCCASIONS, especially in
the ninth inning, when they had men on
second and third, and a hit meant two runs.
Thompson was the first man up, with the
score to l for the Senator's, hut he hit to
Ward and was easily thrown out at first
Hallrnan then stepped up to the plate and
cracked out a single. Grady followed him
and hit to Ward, giving an excellent chance
for a double play, but Ward fumbled and
Hallman reached third safely and Grady
Lad no trouble in making first Joe Sulli-
van sacrificed and Grady ran down to sec
ond.
Every nerve was strung to its highest ten
sion, and the hearts of the SPECTATORS beat
fast for there was a possibility of tieing
the score, or at least coming dangerously
Eear doing so. Turner took Carsey's turn
at the bat, and every eye was riyeted on
him. The stiffness was intense He hit the
ball with terrific force and Mailman and
Grady started for the plate, while the
hearts of the onlOokers sank within them
There were two out, Turner'S hit looked
good for two or three bases. Abbey made
desperate run and scooped in the ball
however, thus settling forever the score i'm
favor of the Senators
Manager Schmelz's men got a man around
in the first inning. After Ward was put out
on foul fly, Joyce was walked to first and
stole second. Abbey hit past third and
Joy ce scored. Abbey was caught off third
when Mcclure singled. but Setback was the
thru out to Thompson after Mac had made
a Feat steal of second. No hits were made
by the locals again Until the lucky seventh
Setback led off with hit, and Cartwright
sent him home on his two-base drive along
the left foul line. Cartwright then ATTEMPT
ed to steal third, and just at that moment
RadfOrd hit to second and was thrown out
at first. The Senator's big first baseman
thinking he had a sufficient lead off second
tried to make home on Radford's out but
was caught just as he reached the plate
Schiebeck the next man to bat was sent to
his base on balls and preceded Mercer to
the plate, wnen the young pitcher made his
splendid home run drive to left.
The game was pretty throughout and
atounded in brilliant plays. Mercer gave

ever since Manager Schmelz introduced us
to Mercer, and Abbey gave promise of be-
ing a winning ball player during his brief
career in this city last season. Washington
knows good ball players when they come
this way, but they are not always permit

ming qualities. Mercer and Abbey are all
right. So are Mcclure, Setback, Cartwright
and several other members of the team.

words of commentator for Jim Mcclure
the sturdy catcher of the Senators. This
seasons work ranks right up among the
leading catchers of the league, and if there
are many better men behind the bat than
he is they have not shown up here. Jim is
catching, batting and throwing better now
than at any period in his base hall ca reer
1t is sail that his sal1ry IS among the
smallest paid to catchers in the league In
appreciation of bis faithful work President
Wagner will probably reward him app~o-
priately when the season is over. Certainly
he deserves generous treatment at the
hands or the home management. for he Is
one of the most valuable members of the
team, and he never causes any trouble on
off the field.
In Meekin. Rusie and Westervelt the
New YCrks have trio of the swiftest
pitchers in the league. Meekin is the hard
est man to hanile, because there is some
thing in his delivery that Furnishes his
catcher more than either Ruse or Wester-
Welt.
There is a perceptible weakness in the
New York team when Farrell and Doyle
are on the bench. If Meekin, Farrell and
Doyle should be spirited away from the
Giants there would be nothing left of their

OBSCURE PRESCRIPTION.
Doctors Should he Careful to Say
What They Mean.

What They Mean.
A prescription written by we'll
known physician in New York recently.
says the New York Tribune, gave the
following directions: First day take
three pills at intervals of an hour; Sec
ond day take two pills at intervals OF
an hour; third day take one pill and
then stop"
This is certainly obscure, and as a
matter OF fact the wording Of the pre-
scription came near causing serious
trouble. The direction for the third
day would be likely, Of course. to make
any one pause to consider what was
meant by the whole, but, if that last dis
rection had not been given it would
have been easy for some people to in
terpret the directions as take three
pills every hour during the first day
and two pills every hour during the
second day" What was meant, OF
course. was that three pills We're to be
taken on the first day, one pill at a
time, with an hour between every pill
two pills on the second day, one at
time, with an hour between each, and
one pill only on the third day.
But there certainly was danger In
the directions to people who were Ell
ther not quick to grasp point or
were careless in following the whole
meaning. Suppose, for instance, some
one had undertaken to read the direc-
tions on the installment plan, so to-
speak-that is, suppose he had thought
Sufficient to the day is the evil there,
Of" and had considered that it would
be time enough to study the directions
for the second day when the second
day came. Then he might have taken
three pills every hour for twenty four
hours, and the coroner could have done
the rest.
But to be serious 1t Is desired here
to impress upon physicians that no
room should be left for doubt az to
their meaning and upon those who read
the directions Of physicians prescrip-
tons that they should read the whole
carefully, and then hesitate Il they are
