The Senatorial feescM wss not On hand
yesterday apd they lost.qs. Vice, Prssident
Hobart should be urged to becomesa reg
ular attendant.l
The idea Of yelling at De Montreyilie
when he makes an error is preposterous
in the face Of the great work he has done
for the team. So
If there Is any glass in Jennings arm 1t
certainly failed to glitter in the two games
played here. Four put outs and six as
sists are pretty good record for man
with a poor arm.
The third game will be played with Bal
timore today. and then the Senators go
on their long western trip. McJames, will
probably pitch for the home club and Pond
for the Orioles.
About 1000 ladies were on hand yeste--
day to cheer the home club to victory. and
they took the defeat of their favorites
very much to heart.
They tell a good story In connection with
the knockout McJames received at Bos-
ton. When the twlrler was lying on the
ground almost senseiess. Tim. Hurst stood
ever him and commenced to count ten In
deliberate prize-rlng style. Jimmy says
he heard eight and got on one knee. and
as Hurst said nine he regalned his feet
dazed Mac had to join In the laugh Of
the other players at the funny incident.
At Mondays game Senator Murphy
brought out several companions from the
great club from Baltimore of whom the
New York senator had been talking for
weeks. Well. the Senators were the great
club on that day. and Senator Murphy
had to stand considerable guying over
the result. Yesterday the same group
came out and the New York senator's de-
scripifcns OF the Orioles were almost full
filled.
The Senators leave tonight for their
western tour and the first stop will be
at Phtsburg. where they play the first
game tomorrow. The Pirates are playing
gilt-edged ball just now. and that club will
be one Of the hardest on the trip to get q
game from. Perhaps a change Of scene
and companions may do the Senators goo.l
ana nslp them to regain their batting eye.
and II they do and continue their good
fielding good record is bound to follow
The New Yorks needed a good fielder and
the Louisvtlles needed q short stop. SO It
didn't take long for Jimmy Rogers and
Bill Joyce to exchange Holmes for Stafford.
1t Is said New York received money
consideration to boot, but from the looks
OF things at this distance it would appear
an even exchange.
