The Senators were awaiting their turn
at rat while the rain was falling as in
the days Of Noah. O'Brien turned to Abbey
and said, this flood seems To say our name
is mud" About that time thestrawberry
blonde noticed an Ethfop plan dump

box, and lie said TO Johpny. ''Oh. / don't
know about that: Mercer Just sawdcst."
The Senators had to swim out after that.
The Pn,sburg Leader, of Tuesday, had
the following to say about the game tie
Pirates lost to the Senators last Monday:
''PittsburS dropped another game to Wash
incton yesterday. Defeat was mainly due
TO the poor work of Hawley. In addition
to being very wild the Pittsburg pitcher
was touched up by the Senators when they
needed runs. The game was played in
drizzling rain, and when Mack and his men
wanted the contest stopped Umpire Hurst
threatened to fine the whole outfit This
threat caused some of the players to say
things to the little umpire who. after the
game followed the Pittsburgs back OF the
grand stand, where he went after Hawley
and Stencil landing blow on the Jaw of
each. To the credit of the players. they
did not resent the attack of the little
rowdv who would rather fight than eat.
1t is likely the League will be asked to
punish Hurst for his conduct"
judged strictly by the card, ore of two
things is certain. either the st. Pauls are
the greatest lot II hattcrs in the country
or they have teen running afOul OF some
weak-k need and sore armed pitchers. About
Il week ago the St Paul and the Kansas City
teams all hut knocked down the fences sur
rounding the st. Paul Park. and yesterday
the st. Pauls broke lCose with the'bat. The
team made forty y-one hits with total of
eigiity-two clean bases. Glasscock. the
veteran, had to lie taken from the park IN
a rubber-tired ambulance. His charley
horse legs have not had such shaking up
in years. His joints went Off like fire
crackers in the hitting race. Out Of nine
times at the hat Pebble Jack made seven
runs and eight hits. One Of these hits was
a two-bagger and another homc run.
"Gold Brick" Turner. recently released
by the Quakers. who is to soon Join the
st. Louis. got five runs and six hits. Two
Of the hits were twc-baasers and two were
home runs.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
