There was hot time In the Oranges
last night. The pets OF the Jersey com
muter had met and defeated the major
League aggregation OF sphere chasers from
the National Capital. The Giants old
twirler, Huylei westcrvelt, had put the
brakes On wagner's balltossers to the tune
in Swampland
Had these inrocents but known how
little the Senators tried to bat out a
victory they would not have been SO Jubi-
liant. Tom Brown naturally WAS not over
anxious TO play his men loft edge" and
sent t.,err on The field with waiting orders.
Joe Stanley, the young Washington twirl-
er, who has figpred quite prominently in
local baseball cir,lcs, was put in the box
for the Lawmakers. He did his best, but
that best was net quite good enough foT
the Jerse,ites. Add to that the listless
support accorded him, and the defe tbs ca silly
explained.
Such a defeat is absolutely OF no conse-
quence, nc matter how viewed. With the
final effort of the season before then. it
would have been little short of idotic
for the Senators To havepumped themselves
OFT merely for the satisfaction of winning
an exhibition game The local fans don't
care a rag how many exhibition games
20 hy the board, but they have vitalin
terest in the contests thatf figure ia the per-
ce3tage tables. They want good bah from
a team that has shown itself capable III
winning nine games out Of eleven, and if
thes don't get it, want to know the reason
why.
