Baltimore at Boston.

The first week of the league baseball
standing of the clubs published above shows
that the Senators are waltZing in the
head set.
But for New York's fluke victory Sat
urday they would be leading the dance
clubs at 667 But Capt. Joyce's men
have done as well as the best OF the
others and have the pleasure for the time
being of seeing Baltimore among the tail
enders.
The Senators have harder foe to
contend with this week. While the Brook
lyns have never won the pennant in the
National League, they always end high
up i'll the race and are ever fit for
fight.
HARDER THAN THE GIANTS.
The fact that the BridegrOoms were
able to take two victories out of three
games played with Baltimore Oh the latter's
grounds last week, evidences that they are
i'll good condition and fully competent 10
make every game a struggle until the
last man is out.
The Senators will do well TO get two
of the three games to be played with
FoutZs men. Should they make 1t three
straight it would be remarkable, but no
censure could be justly bestowed if they
only took one of the trio Baltimore
could do no better.
Yet Captain Joyce is sure OF pair
of victories, and says three straight is
not impossible. The Senatorial captain
has lot OF confidence in his aggrega tion
this season, and talks about beating the
big fellows with the same abandon a If
he was discussing Louisville, st. Louis
Cincinnati and New York.
Mercer will probably pitch the game
tomorrow and Anderson and McJames Viii

ANDERSON ON THE SLAB.
Varney Anderson is about due, and as
he has always proved a stumbling block TO

If they can start West up with the leaders
