TIN Hurst Thought he was well enough
| to collaborate with Johnny Heydler in the
Brooklyn Washington seance yesterday,
but malaria called Timothy out during
the game, and Johnny had to look at
the Senators get licked all by biniself A
funny case OF darkness stopped the game
at the Polo Grounds, between the Giants
and Quakers, at O'Clock, when only three
innings had been played, and Boston shut
out Baltimore by the artistic score OF
2 to o. The prescriptions Colonies added
to Pittsburg's weight OF Woe by distancing
them, 3 to 2, and wet grounds pre-
vented action between Patsys Spiders
and Uncle Ans Colts, at Cleveland. Gin
cinnati and st. Louis were not scheduled
No, the Senators are not i'm ninth place
this morning, should anyone ask you.
The chance was theirs, in fact. the op-
portunity lay in the palm of their hands,
but palsey or paralysis. or perhaps some
other old thing, prevented them from clos
ing down on the prize.
So near and yet SO far! They missed
the tide at its flood and the horoscope
reveals the same familiar resting place
on the tail-cnd rock, along with the Done
Browns and the coltislI Colonels.

if We can't reach ninth place we can beat

HAD THE GAME WON.
With three runs to the good, at the be-
ginning OF the fourth inning, they went to
pieces, and not content with their exhibit
ton in that inning, they continued the per
forma nee in the fifth.
When it is stated that the Trolley Dodgers
were able to score an even half dozen
runs with two men out 1t is easy to esti-
mate the misplays that must have at
tended the three hits the visitors made in
the fifth inning.
The error colu nm shows that Capt. Brown,
.'oId Reliable" Mcclure, Little Boy Blue
Smith, and Genie, the infallible, were the
offenders. And 1t was ladies' day. Hoo
doo?" did you say; well, the suspicion Is
strong, though the proof is not positive.
And come TO think OF 1t all, four games
with Scrappy Bill and his band OF Giants
will be ladies' day! Whoop!
SILVER STOPPED THE SLAUGHTER.
In the hope of stemming the tide, If not
to overcome the big lead, Jimmy McJames
was pulled out in the sixth and Silver
king was sent to the box
silver stopped the Trolley Dodgers,
but Brick Dust" Kennedy, encouraged
by the big piece OF luck that had sent his
side away TO the front, was an enigma TO
the Senators after the third and Kings
good work went for naught go far as even
ing up the score was concerned.
1t should not be understood that Jimmy
McJames was retired because he was bat
ted hard. Such was not the case-it was
a case Of trying to change the luck, but as
in almost every instance of swapping
horses in mid stream 1t awaited nothing
1t was not the Statesmen's day to win.
Besides they had Won three straight.
Asa result of the cruel humiliation Of Tom
DAILY on the field Wednesday by FoutZ, Tom
returned home yesterday morning, and
ex-senator ScIioch covered second again.
The feature Of the game was the clean
work OF the visitors, especially the catch
ing of Jack Grim, the first base play OF
Anderson, and Chairman Jones' good ex-
ecutiop in right field.
The attendance, including ladies. was
in the neighborhood of 5000.
GAME WON IN TWO INNINGS.
Both clubs failed to score in the first
two innings, and Brooklyn's blanks ex-
tended into the third.
The Senators made three runs in their
share of the third. A single by Cart
.rr;uhf NfcJampS' ont. base on halls
to Abbey, and hits by DeMont and Sci
bach, sent Ed, Charley and Gene across
the rubber. THIS closed the Statesuien's
run-getting for the game.
In the fourth, the Trolley Dodgers won
the game Tommy Corcoran led off with
