against us, 1 can't see roseate finish for
the Senators. Their playing was disap-
pointment TO me, as l would like to see
Washington forge TO the front. ! read the
advance notices OF the team, and was an
ticipating something marvellous when
reached National Park. -
Barnes, Boston Journal; II attribute Bos-
toms loss Thursday TO their poor fielding,
and have a suspicion that Umpire Hurst
gave us the worst of ii Friday. However,
Tins mistakes in games are of the head
and not the heart. Our club has played IN
hard luck ON the trip. They have hit the
bah right along, but have fallen DOWN IN
team wolk and in fielding. About another
week will round them TO in shape, and with
the pitchers up to their standard We have
nothing to fear from anybody. The Sena-
tors seem to be full Of ginger and snap, but
they will have TO hit better and run bases
more intelIigenty before they can expect
TO land anywhere nearer the top than last
season This is good ban town, and next
to Boston, would like to see Washington
come to the front"
Manager Selee was in busy telephone
communication with Manager SehInelz from
1 to o'clock in regard to the matter
tween rings Manager selee said he
though the result of the first trip was
disappoi nung, he was not at all dis
couraged MY boys will strike their
gait in a day or two and then watch US
weave our way to where we belong among
the leaders. l have a marvel in Stahl and
Tenny will soon acquaint himself with
%e ~
Sullivan are under the weather, and this
department OF the team is handicapped Just
at this particular period."
Selee said that ullivan wa S in very poor
health as an attack of grip and that Ia
Fridays game he was told not 10 exert
himself THAT is why remarked the
manager, 'he didn't cover first base on
several drives to Lowe and Tenny- Hec6n
&C to the sack as quick as any pitcher,
but he is not strong enough at this time
to do much running about The grip left
him with weak heart and short wind,
but / anticipate complete recovery for
him as soon as warm weather sets In. =
The question was put to Manager Selee
that as he was reported last season hs
having said that he would trade Tommy
Tucker for Ed Cartwright would he stand
for similar proposition this year II will
answer that interrogation by making
another replied the Bostonian, in Yankee
fashion. ''Do you think Mr.. Wagner would
give me McJames for Tucker?'
mot In thousand years. was the un-
authorized response of The Times man.
"well, then" said Selee, Washington
will have to worry along without Tucker -
The Boston manager admitted that his
| club was weak In the box, and said he
| had had covetous eyes on McJames for two
| years Tie stated that he tried to sign
| McMahon Immediately upon his release by
| Baltimore, but that his telegram went to
| the wrong address and Brooklyn beat him
out.
MIR. Selee said 1T was almost unfortunate
| for club to have two such good men
| for the same position as Tucker and
| Tenny. He said he could not afford to let
! Tucker go except in exchange for re-
| liable pitcher, and again it was folly to
keep such heavy hitter and all around
run getter as Tenny out of the game. As
Stahl had shown up as wonder In right
field. there was no room for Tenny there,
| and his Judgment was 20 place Tucker on
| the bench and put Tenny on first.
"Tucker will be kept, however" stated
| Mr.. Selee, '.and will draw his regular
salary, no matter whether he plays or net.
| No money will buy him. and only the ex-
| change of first-class pitcher TO our lik
| ing will be considered for Tommy
