The Washington times., 1895-06-17

FLUSHED with their victory OF Saturday
over the Chicago team the Senators viii
go after the Colts to-day with much con-
fidence and long halter. The Monday
hoodooism broken, thousands oflocal cranks
VIII look for another game this afternoon
And SO may it be-
Last year Ansou came along just about
the time The Senators We're enjoying a
glorious winning streak as at present. and
the veteran first baSeman and his co-pla yers
defeated the locals two out OF three games,
one OF which was twelve inning contest
As il is. be must win the next two to re-
peat the trick. This is scarcely probable,
and If the Senators win to-day the chances
are that Adrian VIII be beaten three
Etraigbts
An achievement like this would be
enough TO Set the cranks wild But, as
The ancient player is slayer and is always
in the game, and he never gives up, the
Senators must play gilt-edged ball.
IN FINE CONDITION.
The home team is still in excellent form.
The return OF Joyce had its good effect on
the youngsters
The pitchers are in fine condition, and If
the smiling Maui viii do the twirling, it
is more than an even chance that the sec
ond game VIII result like the first.
Thespurt Of the Senators is more than was
expected by their most ardent admirers.
But it is really not more than what they
are capable Of doing. They have won games
because they played better ball. There was
no particular luck in the victories-they
were the result OF hammer and tongs work
The cry Of the umpire" has died away,
but even yet there is room at times to call
attention to that individuals partial de-
cisiOnS. The young man who has been
officiating the past week has level head,
and while not as strict as he has right
toba, hegets through agameincommendabl
shape.
Along with the Senators, Boston and Balti-
more are holding up the Eastern end Of the
league The Hubites have driven the
Pittsburgs out of first place.
Then the Orioles were just as merciless,
for no sooner had The Pirates got TO Balti-
more than they We're Overwhelmingly
crushed down The ladder Of fame, and last
years champions are now in second
place.
The Western Pennsylyanians are now
in third place, with their hated rivals, the
Clevelauds. ten points away.
NEW YORKs GONE UP.
The Giants have gone to pieces, and the
necessity Of an experienced manager was
never more apparent. Doyle, who sue
ceeded Manager Davis, is hardly up to
the mark, and it is safe to say that President
Freeman would gladly welcome John
Montgomery Ward back again at second
and as the manager Of the team.
The team has had bad luck with its
players, several being laid off now with
injuries. Manager Doyle is the last one
TO go on the sick list. They are certainly
worse off than any other team to-day.
The Phillies are practically without
pitchers. Willie McGnl is an in-and-outer,
Carsey is not in condition, Taylor has
not yet rounded to, ana the youngster,
Irwin, has not shown up at all.
They are willing to pay a big price
for a pitcher or two, but those who have
good twirlers do not want 10 sell or trade.
As a result the town of QuakeTs is in
n very bad way. No one seems TO be
willing TO give Irwin or Reach anything
at al. They had hard luck in Playing, and
a number or their games were lost by one
run.
The team are hard hitters, but the hits
do not always come at the proper time.
