NOTES OF THE PLAYERS


The men from the land of pretty women,
fine whisky and fast horses again finished
second to the Senators yesterday, the VIC
tory of the home team being due to the
pitching of DR.. McJames and the inability
of the visitors to safely connect with the
hall. The young man from the Palmetto
state was, nevertheless, wild as follower
of Herr Most, passing five men. hitting an
other, and pitching wildly four times.
Nevertheless. he allowed but FIVE hits, all
singles. and one Of them Of the scratch Or
der. On the other hand, Fraser, for the
Colonies, was safely connected with ten
different times, the Flying Dutchmans hit
being three-bagger to left center.
The visitors scored one in the first inning,
Clark walking, stealing second. taking
third on a passed ball, and home when
Mcclure successfully threw to second.
Neither side scored until the fourth, when.

Fraser's hit to right Abbey making q

teams half, Abbey secured a pass, was
sacrificed to second by O'Brien, and then
DR.. McJames astonished every one, him
self not excepted, by hitting safely to RICH:

In the sixth Setback robbed .Yerucn Of a

MERCER LEADS THE LEAGUE
Batting Percentages of the Professional
Players.
Warrington Doing Better In That Line
Than at Any Time During
the Season.

If for some reason or other the National
League championship race were brougf-
to a sudden termination today. it would be
q matter of comment to find the champion
batsman out Of the game with an attack
of the mumps. Nevertheless. such would
be the case. for Washington's slight.
fragile-looking pitcher is still leading the
league batsmen. As he has played in but
thirteen games, however. the least falling
on in his work would rob him Of the lead,
while either Keller. Delehanty or Duffy,
who have played third of their games.
and whose percentage is more settled. would
forge to the trent.
The high position of Baltimores diminu-
tive right fielder, Keller. is made notable
by the fact that he has hit safely in every
enc of the forty-three games played. He
was the first player to make fifty hits. and
unless il-luck overtakes him, he will also
be the first to reach the century mark.
Capt. Duffy of Boston is also batting III
great form. and at his present gait Is quite
likely to reach his 1894 record when he
led the league with IBIS.
Washington has six men in the 800
class; Baltimore, ten; Boston, seven Phil
adelphia, six: Cincinnati, five: New York
four; Cleveland, four; Chicago, three:
Brooklyn, three; St. Louis, two, and Louis
ville one. Pittsburg has not a man in the
list.

played with Boston. The following figures,

pugnacious fellow refused, and played an
other perfect game yesterday. Tommy Is
also hitting In a manner entirely satisfac-
tory to the spectators and himself.
Capt. Tom Brown is a happy man these
days, although suffering from slight at
tack of charley horse" He still manages
to run the bases in good time, fields his po-
sition in sensational style. and with the
stick is doing himself proud. But Tom

this paper reaches its readers it will
have probably passed the senate

long scheduled wave Of prosperity
will undoubtedly make its appear

country will have a period of rest
