SENATORS CANNOT LOSE
Continue Their Winning Streak
Against the Minor Leaguers.
CANADIANS PLAYED WELL
Manager Irwin Has a Good Battery
in Castor and Casey-De Montre-
vilIe's Pretty Playing at Short.
German in Better Form Than at
This Time Last Season.

The Canadians gave the Senator's another
interesting argument yesterday afternoon
and, though they lost the game, they
managed TO gather a pair of tallies from
their major league opponents.
Irwin sent Pitcher CASTOR to the rub
ber, and the young man gave a most
credi6able exhibition. He worked the en-
tire game, and several times, at critical
periods, manipulated his southpaw very
much TO the discontinue OF the Senatorial
sluggers.
In the sixth, CASTOR evidenced that he
was made of the proper stuff for a pitcher
and a hall player. With Abbey, Reilly and
Lush on the buses, he induced DeMontre-
vile to tap the ball to him. and as the
sphere rolled down the path, he threw
himself full-length on the ground. and,
picking it up, tossed it to Casey, forcing
Abbey at the plate. 1t was the premier
play OF the game, and ELECTED long ap-
plause He was justas strong at the finish
as he was in the opening innings, and had
the Senators not had run of luck in the
eighth, the score would have been eX-
eedingly close. By pitching eight in
nings CASTOR probably won the preliminary
season record for continuous work in the
box. College twirlers may have worked
as long. but there are no records thus far
this season of single professional pitcher
opening and closing the game for his
side.
Midget Casey was transferred from
short TO the catcher S position and his per-
formance with the init and mask eXempli-
fled the old aging that good goods come
in small packages The midget handled
Gastons left-handed delivery In faultless
style and watched the bases like hawk.
Cartwright was the only Senator to make
a clean steal, though Charley Farrell is
credited with purloining sack. As lndi-
Gated by his sobriqueu, Casey is pony built
and sort of second edition of "FOghorn'
Miller, ans the voice.
DeMontrevilie continued his brilliant work
of the previous day, accepting eleven
chances at short. His one-hand running
stop of Casey's grass burner in the ninth
would have made Jennings, Corcoran or
Long tremble for their laurels had they
witnessed the play.
Norton inaugurated the game for the
local leaguers and pitched three innings.
German took "HotSafus y place in the
fourth and finished the game. Lester
made a better showing than at any time
since the opening of the preliminary sea-
son. Three of the five hits charged against
him were eXtremel Y oubtful, and the other
two yielded no substantial results to the
Canucks.
The visitors scored their two runs in
the third inning White singled to right
but was forced at second on Gaston's tap
to De Montreville, CASTOR reaching first
on the fieldcr's choice. Casey hit to left
and he and CASTOR tailed on Freeman's
three-bagger to Selbach's garden.
For Washington, Lush led off in the
opening inning with two-base hit to
center. went to third on DeMontrcville' s
out from Taylor to McGann, and scored
on Selbach's long fly to Weisman.
Farrell and Cartwright registered in the
fourth. and in the eighth four runs were
added by the aid of so many hits and an
error by Shortstop McIIale.
A number of ladies availed themselves of
the privilege granted by Mr.. Wagner's
complimentary passes, and the rail seats of
the grand stand were filled with fair
fans. The size of the audience was
greatly in excess of Monday, the total at
