The Senators have had a pretty tough
week.
They have met the Baltmores three
times and the Brooklyns for as many games.
They won two out of the six.
Three times they were beaten by a single
run, one game of which, with Brooklyn.
was a thirteen-inning contest when the
score stood l to O. In another game
with the same team the score was TO /.
They defeated the Orioles z TO and
the BroOklyns S to 6, winning out in the
last inning. They Were, however, in turn
beaten in the ninth, when with two men
out and men on third and second bases,
respectively, the lilipuIan third baseman,
McGraw, made a Corking single, and it
was all over but the groans.
Y RIOTERS CAN'T COMPLAIN.
No faithful admirer of the Statesmen
viii complain of their work. The typical
clank will readily attribute the losses to
hard luck and viii continue his vigorous
roofing. But of course he would sooner
see the locals win, and while the hoOdoo
stays with them the Senators will rea-
sonably come out behind their opponents.
Eliminating Anderson's stupid play there
has then been no chance TO asCTibe any of
the errors to a want of knowledge of the
game or to attribute it to case of lost
his head" The team has put up good
ball, and while the pitchers have not done
excellent service, they have in the main
done better twirling than the majority of
the league pitchers.
Mercer, however, is an exception. For
some reason the young man has done very
unsatisfactory work-that is, in the esti-
nation OF the general public. Whether he
is satisfying Mr.. Wagner and Manager
Schmelz is another matter. However,
this may be, his effectiveness this year is
yet to be developed, and as midsummer is
practically here, the handsome twirler
ought to round up and show the public that
his strong right arm has lost none of its
cunning. He seems TO hit easily enough,
but his delivery is apparently just to the
fancy of the opposing hitters.
SMILES AND is A CORKER STILL.
Albert Maui and his smile is the hero of the
aggregation. He has rounded to i'll fine
shape and not only those who thought his
arm was dead years ago, but the entire
populace that gathers at National Park,
look upon his work in the box with wonder.
He has covered himself with new laurels
and won many new friends. He is IA
vorite in an extended way. Earnest in
0iS efforts he is a close student, and no
doubt he is better acquainted with the weak
ness of individual hitters than is any other
pitcher in the League.
There is no change in position so far as
the Senators are concerned. They are
still in tenth place, and while that round
in The Times pennant ladder is being worn
by constant wear, is very strong yet. They
have receded in the race nine points dur
ing the week, but are closer to the ninth
club by eighteen points. Last Monday
morning the Quakers were the nearest ri
walls. This morning, however, the Giants
are only seventy-six points ahead.
To-day the Orioles will be the visiting
team and while they hit Mercer ouSaturday
to merry tune, the knowledge that Maui
will pitch this afternoon will attract
thousands to the ball grounds, who will
go there in the hope that he can again
shake off the hoodoo which has stalked the
Senators for many, many Mondays.
1t goes without saying that as Hanlon's
Orioles are flying fast pace, the Senators
must put up good game OF ball to win
There have been numerous changes in the
league during the past week.

AROUND THE TOP.
Baltimore by victories over the Senators
and New York forged into second place,
gaining twenty-five points. Pittsburg slid
down to the first round. The Spiders held
fourth place and also increased their per-
centage forty points.
The Chicagos have maintained their po-
sition and gained ten points. The Gin
einnatis were in eighth place Monday, but
yesterday morning they held the sixth
