THEIR WOUNDS ARE HEALED
Senatorial Regulars Will Face the
Quakers To-day.
Maui VIII be Seen in the Pitchers
Box No More This Season,
Says Wagner.

The Senators were all on hand at Ma
tionai Park this morning, limbering up for
the first meeting with the Quakers this
afterno on.
All of the men are in fairly good shape,
and Treasurer Wagner tells The Times
that the regular team will be on duty to-
day for the first time in four weeks.
JACK Crcoxs will again be ON second
His fingers are not entirely right, but he
feels that they are good enough tn work
with. Mercer will be in the box. He is in
good form, and it will not be his fault if
the Phiilies do rot get beating.
Selbaoh will return to his old place in
left field. He has quit limping and can get
around once more about as briskly as
ever Lush stiIl carries his crippled fin
ger in plaster case, and will continue 10
do so for several weeks tn come.
Mr.. Wagner announced this r.sorning that
he had determined not to pitch Maui again
this year. He says he is no shape to resume
work, and that to start i'm off now would
simply be taking chance on undoing him
for next year.
1t is understood that Lucid will do the
pitching for the Quakers this ,4afternopn.
The visitors will make a strong effort 10
mark up the Washington games To their
credit.
The Senators will play two games with
the Pbillies, one to-day and une tomorrow.
On Friday they will r,ay. the Brooklyn team
a game postponed fr,m April 27. On
Saturday theygotoPhiladelphia Thegame
to-day will be called at 4:l5.
Thirteen seems to be unlucky in baseball
as well as in other things. The Quakers
got twelve straight and then fell down.
They are making preparations to play
baseball on the Pacific Coast while the
snow flies in the North and East. Nash and
Lange have both been offered jobs to play
out theretbis winter.
1t was generally understood that four
games were to be played in Baltimore by
Cleveland, but it seems that Hanlon and
Tebeau could not agree as to division
of the spoils, So the fourth game was
declared off.
A few weeks ago Hawley was about the
biggest man in Pittsburg. Now, according
TO Pittsburg baseball writers, Hawley is of
no account IN earth.
Sam Thompson, according to Pbiladel-
phia critics, is playing better ball this
season than be ever played before.
1t is ardently hoped that Maui will be
able to turn up and help the Senators win
a few games before the end comes. A bad
beginning is not so seriously regarded If it
terminates with a good ending. Washington
baseball fans VIII stand without complaint
all of the disappointment and ills that have
beset them if they are given the delight
of a few victories at the final roundup.
1t is not likely that the Senators will be
showered with bouquets or that there will
be any particular demonstration of joy
over their appearance here this afternoon,
but it is altogether probable that a goodly
crowd will be on hand Ia see them tackle
the Quakers. The latter combination has
been doing gilt-edged work nf late, not
withstandiDg the Colonels wallnped them,
and Washington cranks always turn out
in droves to see good game.
II it had not been for Latham's antics,
the game between Cincinnati and New
York On Monday would have been without
interest. II is good that there is something
in some of the League teams tn entertain
their patrons, even il that something is
nothing more than clnwnishness.
When Eddie Burke appeared with the
Reds in New York on Monday he was
given an ovation.
If Tom, the brother of Roger Connor,
turns out as well as expected he will be a
corker. He made his first appearance
with the Browns at Boston on Monday
covering third base in good style.
John Montgomery Ward is still being
talked about as manager OF the Giants next
year. IfJohD Montgomery should be offered
the job and I'll Ike it, u nd theNew Yorks should
fail to show at the top of the heap under his
guidance, woe be uato him. The baseball
student is about the most unreasona BILE be-
ing on earth.
At the very moment that we are not look
ing for it, those Kentucky Colonies spring
up to plague us. Here we have had the
sturdy Quakers running along with an un-
