The Bostons start . series of four games
at National Park today with the Senators,
Nichols and McJames being the opposing
pitchers. AS Boston is the favorite club of
the Washington fans in the race for the
penns mt the Beaneaters will doubtless re-
ceive a hearty reception.
Kelley and Hoffer had it at the bench

ing to get me off the team all this season,
and 1 guess you'll sicceed. Now go up to

Jack Doyle. and a majority of the players
agreed with him. Stupid playing doesn t
take with the birds.
Where IS Tommy fuckers ginger that he
brought along with him when he first came
to washington! This has got to be an
almost universal query. Come, Tom you're
no gutter and your coaching braces I'D the

That is fast pair around second base.
Both Wngiey and DeMont are good throw
ers. and when the opportunity offers dou-
BILE plays will be pulled off the reel with
lightning rapidity.
Policeman O'Day says he would not have
taken either Doyle or Stencil out of the
park If they had not abused him in the
most vile manner. The management had
nothing to do with the retirement of these
two players. and they can thank them
selves for being thrown outside the breast
works.
That was funny break that resulted in
Stencil being ordered out the game. Ems
lie had passed on and Reilly and Stencil
were chewing the rag over the play. Reilly
said he had caught him easily and Jake
called him liar. Emslie heard the word
liar" turned quick as a flash, thinking
1t was meant for him, and ordered him
out of the game. Jake tried to explain but
1t was without avail
Walter Wilmot. ex-Chicagoan, and lately
manager OF the Minneapolis, has signed
with New York. He will join the Giants
by next Monday. Third Baseman Donnelly
has also been signed by New York joyce
will play first base. These two players will
add greatly to the strength of the New
Yorls.
Frank Redding has recommended Second
Basen1an Beck to the Louisville manage

average of 400 and fields like lightning

this by levying series of fines that would
soon call for a new set of orders from Won

Louis F. Sockalexis, Cleveland's cele-

punished by three fines of S25, $50 and S1OO
respectively, for breaking the clubs rules

Manager Hanlon said last night that he
had not in any way lost confidence in
Maul's ability as a pitcher. His Witness

The Colts, from Anson to Donahue. want

good thrashings administered to Baltimore
and New York were evidences of SO much

Yet Ewings men come to town. and the
Colts go at them just as If they were rank
outsiders. and do them in ten innings of
real ball playing!
Arson could have won the eternal graft
tude Of all Cincinnati by a little slackness
by letting the Reds get away, S to 1. or
something that way. with the game. He
didn't. The fight the Colts put up was as
hot as If the Clevelands or Baltimores were
their foes for the afternoon. 1t is safe to
say that not once did even the distant idea
of a lay-down enter the head of one Chi
cago player, nor did Cincinnatian think
of proposing such thing. Base ball is al
most the one grand and honest sport. and
the sport that would keep all the gamblers
hopelessly guessing.
