The morning times., 1895-09-09

Washington team is gradually sliding down
in percentage, and it is an even argument
that before 'aLother week is ended the
little man on the ladder will have
chance TO rest his feet, as the o.her fellow
Will be on round eleven. This is where
the team was last year, and withstand
ing schmelZ's predictions early in the
season that the Senators wilhfiHish better
than in 1894, they must kecp their hump
nicely poised or else even the Colonels Will
beat them out.
The continued losing is more the fault
of the management than the players.
Many OF them are rot fast enough for
League company, and there is 70 dispu-
sition shown To siren stheu the wea
points. Lush and Gilroy have in them
| the ma king OF good players, but their
presence on the team is valuciess since the
other positions are not wei played.
Up to date the Senators have been beaten
nine times by Baltimore, eight times by
Boston, three times by Bruo klyn. niue
times by Chicago, eight times by Gin
cinnati, nine times by Cleveland. six
times by Louisville, seven times by New
York, two times by Philadelphia, five times
by Pttsburg, eight times by st. Louis.
They have won fom Baltimore three
games Boston ona game Brook kIyn three
games, Chicago two games, Cincinnati
two games, Cleveland three games, Louis
vile six games, New York two games,
Philadelpl ia three games, Pittsburg four
games, st. Louis five games.
ONLY TWO OUT OF NINE.
During the past week the Senators
played nine games, winning two, one
each from the Lousyilles and Cincinuatis.
They dropped eleven Lo.nts in percentage,
and are now oily six points ahead 81 st
Louis and fifty-ninC points To- the good or
the ColOnelS
The Quakers have Kept up their two
! minute gait and have won, in the last six
! days, seven games and did not lose any.
TheirpercentagcJu cJumped twenty y-Scvenpoints
and they now look to be safe third,
with possibility OF landing i'll second
| place.
| The Orioles lost two games, one to their
nearest rivals, the Spiders, on Saturday
Although they won four games, their
| percentage increased only one point. They
| startthe week with cad of nineteen points,

| lands who, with Cuppy in the box, are a
| strong aggregation to down. However,
Hanlon's fellows are a determined set,
and playing on their own grounds, ought
| to win the two games.
Tebeau and his merry lot Of sprinters,
leading batsmen, strong pitchers, fast in
| fielders, and still faster outfielders, and
hard hitters, ended the week even, having
won three games and lost the same number
AS result their percentage dropped eigh;
| M -
they Will be able to increase it in the East,
and even at home they must put up nice
article of ball TO hold their own, as the
Western contingent are not a bit weaker
than when they came East.
| PIRATES DISASTROUS TRIP.
| The Pirates are now at home after a
most disastrous trip among the Eastern
division. Connie Macks trials have beer
severe, and although he tried To strengthen
his pitchers went wrong, and Sugden, one
of the catchers, is sick abed.
They are now in seventh place, as against
third when they came East. They los
five games and won three, their percentage
this morning being .534, a loss of twelve
points, and lower than any time during thu
season.

percentage being increased two points
They are simply playing ball TO the keeping
OF new twenty dollar gold piece, and ole
man Foutz is receiving the praises of th'
fans of the City OF Churches. They succeed
ed, during the past week, in coming up t.
the Bostons and have the same standing il
percentage
The Beaneaters are practically where
they were week ago in the race, but i
is doubtful whether they viii be able t,
keep pace with the Bridegrooms unit
next Sunday, as some of the players ar
hurt, and the team is so badly weakened
that St. Louis is liable to beat them th
next two games.
The New Yorks have shown marked i'm
provement the past week and seem to b.
Giants once more. They are now III siXt
place, the first time they have been in th
first division this season. The player
are in fine condition, and their record o
five games won and two lost is an unusua
one for single week. They jumpei
thirteen pointsin percentage and are tw enty
three points behind Brooklyn. The ney
manager, Watkins, it seems, knows how I
handle his men, and is getting good wor
out OF them. -
Ewing and his band of Reds are in eight
place. Last Monday morning they wer
ninth, with percentage of .514. Nov
they have .532. They Won five game
and lost two and are only two points bt

TREATED VERY ROUGHLY.
