Well, we can lick Washington, and Wash
ington can lick Cleveland, and that's some
| consolation anyhow.-Baltimor Herald.
Don't be too sure of licking the Wash
ingtons.
Carey is third among the Eastern League
first basemen, with an average of .9S1, but
the first man only has an average of .9s7.
Who would have supposed in the early
part of the season that Washington would

| that is what the Senators did yesterday.
| Connie Mack's men usually slide rapidly
when they strike the toboggan. -Balti-

oles are not out of reach Of the Senators
by any means.
Patsy Tebeau was put out of the Wash
ington ball grounds yesterday for disputing
a decision. Tebeau is scrappy, but there

Cincinnati last year, is one of them. jim

ing like an Indian.-Ch News.
