night to Tackle Mack and
His Pirates.

The Senators did not get chance al
the Reds to-day. because OF the rain. and
the Ewing men will take their leave FOL
other fields tonight.
The Senators also take 1aunt tonight
They will depart at $50 for Pittsburg,
where they will tackle Mack and his Pirates.
Under the circumstances the Senators did
pretty well to get a look in at any of the
games with the Ewing men. They are yet
laboring under disabilities that would beat
almost any of the league teams, and their
one win was a surprise to many.
The team goes away in crippled state,
and while they are not saDguine of doing
much against the Mack comb nation, they
hope for the best.
There Will be no more games here until
themiddle OF nextweek
A Cincinnati paper says that If the Reds
can take a ma jority OF the games that ire
being Gro wded into three days in this city.
they may return to the West with four
or five teams trailing behind them The
Reds seem to be in fair way to get that
majority.
This is ladies' day and the voluminous
Artie Latham will be in high feather
Artie is not only funny, but he is quite
pretty, and that he Will make a ten-strike
is q moral certainty.
Tom Brown is averaging three hits a

paper. Still, Washington keeps on los

hoodoo. He is doing good work for the
Senators. 1t is not his fault they are
losing. It's bad luck that is doing the Sen
ators. That is what beats all the baseball
clubs these days.

Mercer was himself again yesterday.
He can do as good a Job of pitching as
anybody when the proper spirit moves him.
The Senators started well yesterday and
W on the fret game in handy fashion, but
they couldn't hold their pace They Were
easy victims for the Reds in the second.
Boswell was an easy mark for the Ewing
men.
The three leaders, Baltimore. Cleveland
and Philadelphia, all won yesterday. The
Quakers seem TO have booked onto third
place to stay there.
Hurst is undoubtedly conscientious UNI
pire, but in the opinion of many of the wit
nesses OF the first game yesterday be made
a decided mistake in declaring Ewing out
at third, and Buck was justified in being
very huffy.
The Quakers have won eight straight
games.
Breitensteln has not won a game on his
last two trips, yet he holds the reputation
of being about the best pitcher in the League.
1t is the team behind him that does the
losing.
Scheibeck went into the game yesterday
and for a cripple did well. Barring one or
two little slips, he played good ball.
Breitenstein, Ely and Pietz are all anx-
ious to get away from st. Louis,it is said.
Probably that is why Won der Ahe hangs on

The Senators found little trouble in land

Pirates on their return home.

Doyle IS again playing first for the
Giants, and they lost yesterday.
All of the twenty one hits in the Brook
game were singles. =
Burkett made a hit. every time he went
20 the hat, with total of nine bases. If
ne were only a Senator.
McAleer is batting so hard that Tebeau
las moved him up the list. u
Moran is not fast enough for League
pitcher.
Numerous dispatches from England
have recently told of the fast hold our Ma

and the warmth and enthusiasm with which
the amateurs in that country were being
According to a cable received
.o-day these glowing reports have been
