The Senators won from the Quakers in
a game that gave the audience u COM
plete return for admission money. New
York trounced Boston by one run, and
Baltimore doubled Brooklyn's score. Out
West, Chicago won from Pittsburg, and
Cleveland beat st. Louis. The Colonies
failed to reach Louisville in time to play
the game scheduled with Cincinnati. and
it was awarded to Buck and his Braves All
the clubs play today
The Rogers and Reach aggregation of
Quakers came to town yesterday, and as
result they are one game shy in their won
column this morning
But the Senators margin OF victory was
small. and that the Quakers were able to
give the Statesmen bruising finish was

After the long, tedious seances with the
tailenders, Louisville and st. Louis, it
was quite relief to have club OF some
prominence come along. And that the
Senators were able to take the game from
them, rendered the occasion particularly
enjoyable. Then, too, the weather was ex-

CHICAGO'S SAD EXPERIENCE.
Over at Philadelphia the other day the
Chicagos had them beaten by score so
one sided that it bent over, but in the
eighth and ninth innings they took notion
to give foot race festival with pyrotech-
meal trimmings, and when they finished
up the program and the smoke from the
AOShCtS Citditu dWdh zen IUUS were regis
tered and '.Adonis' Terry and the Chicago
fielders had their tongues lolling out like
oxen in the alkali ards.
The Senators narrowly escaped being
guests at the same kind OF an entertain
ment yesterday afternoon. The base hits
and two and three ggers were brought
out, but the supply was one short and the
twelfth run was no3 forthcoming.

SENATORS WERE BASE, ROBBERS,
The feature at which Tom Brown and his
boys excelled was base running They
treated Mike Grady's throwing wing with
the greatest contempt, and throughout the
entire nine innings purloined bases with
the audacity and neatness with which the

capt. Brown was the chief offender in
this line, having four stolen sacks to his
credit in the score. Grady's shots at sec

OF the mark as Chinese volleys in the Jan
war. Mike had Billy Mailman and young
Hulen doing trapeZe act in their efforts
to capture his mid air meaDderings of the

thrown balls and is good sticker. For
the latter qualification alone he is valuable
to the ouakers, whose high suit is hitting
the ball.
PITCHERS JARED ALIKE.
Mercer and Ortiz were the opposing box
artists and each suffered alike in the
batting bee. A total OF seventeen hits
were made on each side but Mercer was
able to keep his allotment somewhat
scattered, while Orth's came in lunches.
