Rake Isall Notes..

The second game Of the series with Bal
timore will be played this afternoon. King
will pitch for the Senators and Corbett will
probably be on the rubber for the Orioles
DeMont will be back in the game, replac-
ing O'Brien at second. This change should
stiffen up the infield in the matter of han
ding double plays.
AL. Maui was en- the Orioles bench and
looked well in Baltimore uniform. Berry
says his arm is all right, and he came with
in an of being put into the game yes
terday. Earl Wagner predicts that If Maui
is himself again the Orioles will win the
pennant hands down.
The diamond at National Park is thing
CT beauty, and reflects great credit upon
Groundkeeper Miller. Messrs. Wagner
Robb and the players, who have just fin
ished a tour of all the cities, say the
grounds are the finest in the country.
Manager Hanlon of the Orioles indulged
in a childish piece of spite work on Tues
day. Captain Brown Immediately after his
arrival In Washington Tuesday morning
wired the Baltimore manager the batting
list of the Senators and asked him to noti-
fy the Washington people whether the
grounds would be fit to play the game.
Hanlon ignored the telegram, and the Sena-
tors took the fruitleSs trip to Baltimore, a
dead loss of about $50. 1t is a way they
have Of getting back at Wagner for dar-
ing to tout the Bostons as winners of the
pennant.
For the first time in over two years a
description of the game yesterday was not
telegraphed to the Opera House people in
Baltimore. Yet they claim the Baltimore
people are not getting tired of champion
ship team. For the last couple of years
the Opera House has been packed with
fans at every game the birds played away
from home.
There are no stars on the Baltimore team
in the estimation of the players. The way
the men would call down each other when
a play was lost yesterday demonstrated
effectively why the birds win games. Joe
Kelley is supposed to be captain, but Doyle
and McGrsw W both went at him for not
bunting and then they all turned on Jen-
ninss for trying to steal second with only
one out. All look alike to the Orioles with
a slice of the Temple cup money in sight.
Jack Doyle was kicking all afternoon
against the hit-and-run game the BaitI-
mores were trying without success to pull
off, claiming that it was losing them game
after game. Hanlon thought otherwise,
and said the men at the bat wouldn't swing
at the ball when the runner started.
Jimmy McJames has gotten into a rut
on watching the bases. Yesterday the Bal
timore players would come into the bench
after successfully stealing second or third
and declare he was the easiest thing that
had come over the pike this season. why,
we can get mile start on that fellow
they all said.
