After a weeks absence the Senators viii
play again at National Park this afternoon
The fast flying Orioles viii be the opposing
team. 1t was these bird-named ball tossers
who defeated the home team On Saturday in
the Monumental City.
Although the kOodoo was with the Wash
ingtons last Monday when Anson's Colts
beat them out, there may be a mascot
secreted somewhere in the grounds who will
favor the Senators in a way W bich will bring
victory over Hanlon's young husters
1t will be their first appearance in this
city and many a crank will come from Balti
more to root for their favorite club. Then,
too, the local rooters viii be out in force, and
as they have had a rest of week there is
no telling how much noise they viii make-if
they get good chance to yell
NEW MEN HERE.
Carey, the Baltimore first baseman, will
be seen for the first time in Washington,
and Kid Gleason will probably cover third.
Jennings, who has been putting up phe-
nomenal ball, will show how he does his
work, while the hard-hitting Keeer Will
attempt to increase his batting average.
And for the Senators. They are still in
good form, so to speak. Just trifIe weak
in the box at present. Mr.. Schmelz may
make an effort to strengthen up. If he
only does, their many admirers will have
glorious opportunity to root, root, root
The Senators are still lodged in tenth
place with percentage OF 426 as against
463 points last Monday morning Dur
ing the week they lost two games to Chi
cago, two to New York. and one to Balti-
more, and Won one from New York. While
they played fair ball in each game they
lost, defeat came by spurts of stick Work
by the opposing teams, coupled with that
most unwelcome companion, hard luck.
But there is some satisfaction that there
are others who not only suffered defeat
but We're hustled down the ladder of pen
nant fame.
NEAREST TO THE SENATORS.
The Senators nearest rival now is the
great hitting Quakers, who, one week ago,
We're iii seventh place, with ga points,
and who are now ninth with percentage
of only four points less. The st. Louis
made no change in position, While in per-
centage, not including yesterdays games,
there is difference of only six points to
the bad.
One week ago the Washingtons were
close upon the heels of Foutz's Bridegrooms,
who were then only thirty points
away, and ninth in the race Now they
are in sixth place, with percentage of 542.

Top1c.-u0w next year may be made better

The close Of a year i good time for
locking both backward and forward. Il
is practically universally considered so,
for at the close 4 each year the majority
Of people take a glance At the year just
gone and look into the year to come,
with the intention If possible to make
the new an improvement upon the old.
Such a time Is very appropriate for such
a retrospective. and though in some cases
great good may not be accomplished by
it, yet it Is not TO be despised for in
many instances much lasting benefit is
the result.
There is always room for improve
ment Each new year could easily be
an improvement upon the past if we
went about it IN the right way. No
Christian can reach point where he
cannot improve. Paul was never salts
fed with his attachments, but anxiouslv
desired 10 improve, and if we follow
his example we may make the new year
better ian the past year.
In his endeayors 10 improve, Paul
placed high ideal Of attainment before
him He aimed to be found in Christ
not having his own Righteousness, but
Christ's, and that he might know
Christ, and tie power Of his resurree-
ton, and the fellowship Of his suffer
ings. He placed The prize Of the high
calling Of God IN Christ Jesus as the
mark before him. His ideal was to be
nearer to Christ and more like Christ.
This should be the aim Of every Chris
tan, and there is room for advancement
toward it.
Paul, IN oDdeayoriug to improve,
realized his lack Of perfection. " Not as
if l had attained" he says, but fol
low after if that l may apprehend that
for which as | am apprehended Of
Christ Jesus. " To improve We must
