commissioners office OF this city. For
six innings NJ. A c. was unable to score,
so effective was Nichols for the District
team. In this inning NJ. A. scored four
runs on yellow fielding, combined with d hit
TO left field which was badly judged. The
feature of the game was Nichols pitch
ing in the third and fourth innings, re-
tiring five men on as many pitched balls.
NJ A C. played plucky uphill game, and
took advantage of their opponents errors

A Fans Kind Words for the Senator's

To the Editor of The Times:
Now that the Senators have broken the
hoodoO spell by beating the Bostons Satur-
day, it is only reasonable to expect that
with encouragement from the ball fans
they viii all get their eye on the ball and
line them out as they did last sea son, and
even better i have attended nearly all
the games at the park for the past three
years, and it has been my observation
that the players of our team do not get
the encouragement from the bail fans which
they deserve. For instance, If one of our
players makes an error or knocks u Pop fly
when a hit is needed, the fans Immediately
transfer their support and yells of en-
couragement to the opposing club and
make ridiculous remarks against the SEN
ator who, in their opinion, have sinned
beyond pardon. And if that home rooter
who is so quick to condemn, would think
for an instant. surely his better judgment
would tell him that the player so offending
is much more mortified at his error over
his failure TO make hit than the public
can possibly he. For, as we all know, the
better the mechanic the better his salary.
The same as to the BAH player, Who is ever
TRYING to improve his value to his en-
ployer that he may obtain more money
for his services. Therefore. he is always
trying to do his best for his club. The
season is very Young yet, so arise. turn
out strong to witness the games with the
Baltimores Let us give the Senators every
encouragement in our power, and IL an
error is made, instead of in dulging in yells
of derision, give the home boys veil to
go lat EN- 1t is my opinion, with en-
couragement from the ball fans, that the
Senators, finding they have the support
of the rooters, will 90 "at 'em'' and hat
out many victories before the end of the
season. a s. B
