and always fastening its dredging hooks
into their anatomies.
Ansons men are from the Magic City,
and it is a coed genii that keeps tab on
their bat bags and hangs barb-wire fences
under fluke hits just long enough 10 de-
velop them into winning home runs. To
retrospect a minute, that barb-wire fence
skirting the right field territory of Ma
tional Park has cost the home club seven
games thus far this season.
The first game yesterday afternoon made
Chicago's third victory, first and last, and
Pittsburg and Cleveland have TWO scalps
each as the result of the proximity OF
the railing surmounted by thorns. The
MeSSrs. Wagner should estimate this fence
in the forecasts for their pennant winners
next year. AS it stands, it is worse
than a wild pitcher or a charley-horse
infielder against the Senators chances
to climb a round higher on The Times
pennant ladder.
Then, again, the Senators never win an
extra inning contest. They fight 10 the
bitter end and have a way Of keeping a
rooter's heart up in his mouth. but in the
grand final the other fellows get the win
ming run.
ANDERSON NOT BLAMED.
1t was so in Brooklyn with Anderson in
the box for thirteen innings; again in Balt-
more; and for the third time yesterday
afternoon at National Park. No fault can
be found with Yarney, nor with his eight
assistants They did their very level best
and died game. The score shO ws for itself
the barbed wire did the rest.
1t happened like this: After the game
had passed the ninth and tenth innings,
with the score tied to 4, and after the
Senators had had their eleventh turn at the
bat with no addition to their run column,
the Chcago came in and without much ado
worked Wilmot 10 second base. Willie
Lange then sighted down TO Anderson and
when he sa Varney put the twist for an
"out and down" curve on the ball he cal
culated that proper swing OF his wagon
tongue would put it over the right field
fence and into home run territory.
Willie figured the matter almost to an
inch and what he fell short the barbed
wire helped out Mercer made great
sprint for the ball and his hands, the ball
and the barbs met-the ball got the best
of the argument anG dropped on the home
run side
The Senators presented the same broken
up team as on the day before with the
exception of Mercer taking Mauls place
in right field.
sELBACH LIMPED AROUND.
Plucky Setback limped around left, but
with his handicap, took good care Of
everything that came his way.
Abbey was timely at lat ard played
perfect field. Frank Scheibeck was very
much in evidence also. He figured in
quick double play to Cartwright that won
rounds of applause Anderson pitched a
better game than Hutcaison and deserved
the game.
Abbey and Joyce worked pretty double
steal in the first inning, which resulted in
| the first tally for the Senators, Abbey
afterwards scoring on MCGuire's fly out
Selbach led at tie bat with a double
and a single and was followed by Joyce
and Abbey with two Singles eaca.
IN the fitness of things Uncle Anse led
his club in batting, getting three singles,
and he scored the first run for the Colts.
1t was in the sixth inning that he broke
the goose egg. He singled to center, was
advanced TO second by Dahen and scored
| on Tuby's hit over second base. Lange
hit the bah hard and often, and ex-senator
! Wilmot had a handy bat
Dahlen had two errors on easy chances
at short, but as 10 rurs resulted Uncle
Anse did not reproach him further than
TO give him the panied face. The score:
