How they stoOl August hi, 1S.

The Senators are some pumpkins these
days. Wednesday they shut out the hard
hitting Philadelphia team, and yesterday
they repeated the whitewashing process on
the Brooklyn club, the score being 3 to 0.
Two whitewashes in two successive days
have not come the way of the Washington
club since the Messrs. Wagner have had
hold of the reins of control, ard the feat is
worthy of notice.
Both clubs played good ball, the Sena-
tors having little the best of it, both at
the bat and in the field. The exhibition
of how to handle the ball quickly and ac-
curately given by DeMont, Wrigley and
O'Brien was most enjoyable. while the
sure things in center and right, Brown and
Abbey. kept right up with the procession
in good fielding.
McJames was assigned to the duty OF
serving up the tantalizing drops and shoots
to the Bridegrooms and as he was steady
as an eight-day clock, the results were
gratifying to the spectators. Jmmy's
w!ldness is his weak point. but catch him
on day when he is good and he is like
the nice little girl-very. very good, and
when he rs bad, he is horrid. The hits
that were made by the Trolley Dodgng
team were kept scattered in such an artis-
tic way that nary runner crossed the
home plate during the game.
William Kennedy, the lately exploited
100000 beauty, was on the rubber for the
Brooklyns. and also pitched good ball, but
the hits that were made off of his delivery
were of the long kind that counted almost
as good as two safeties. Farrell getting in
a triple and O'Bren and Selbach doubles
The game was a pretty one to look at, rs
both teams worked hard for victory, as
they should do, and there was no cinch
about the matter until the last man had
been retired in the ninth inning.
AT their first try at the bat the Senator's

aged to get a runner over the home piate
Setback started off with a sky scraoing
fly to center that was lost in the sun. the
little German getting second on the error
Browns out sent the runner to third and
DeMonts single brought him over the
home plate Again in the third a run came

in the eighth inning the third and last run
was placed to the credit of the Washing
tons. DeMont singled into left, went to
third on Farrelrs single to center and
came home on fuckers out second to
first.
Blank after blank followed in the wake
OF the Bridegrooms. and although they
mad men on bases at different times the
hit necessary to bring the runner over the
home plate could not be made
Umpire Emslie held the Indicator YES

was registered against his rulings
