Standing of the Clubs.

Chicago. July 3o-(SpeciaL L)-Again to-
day the invasion Of the West resulted in
a repulse for the Senators. For two
hours the team battled helplessly with
Griffith, and in defense fell to pieces,
shattered by the heavy bombardment of
Weber by the Chicago sluggers. The score
when the Orphans had finished dallying
with Weber and Donovan was 13 10 g.
Weber was given trial and failed to
show much form. He went wrong in the
second round and grew worse in the
fourth, after which he retired and Don
oyan, with an arm fun of eccentric shoots
and slants, applied for mis- job and got it.
He did well although his terrific speed
miscarried most of the time and kept
the Cripples stepping around the plate.
His craftsmanship makes him eminently
fitted for a position as gunner in the
Spanish feet, but at that he is a prom
Using youngster.
The game was filled with seriocomic
mistakes, strange plays and fierce hit
ting. Griffith held McGuire's men well
in hand all the way through and Wash
ington never had a chance to win. The
game was full of free hitting, and while
Weber oficiated Burns's men employed
themselves with caroming line hits off
the legs of the ex-Texas Lacquer.
The story of the game is short; to
chronicle all the mistakes would require
q volume. Neither side counted in the
first for Anderson grew dopey and per-
mitted himself TO be doubled on long
fly to Thornton. Chicago commenced the
manufacture of tallies in her second at
tack when Weber went 10 the bad en-
tirely. With one out, Thornton hit down
high bounder, which even Wrigley's fine
fielding could not keep from being safe
Weber hit Connor and filled the bases by
giving Chance a pass. Griffith hit down
a small bounder which Weber grabbed
and threw wild over Farrell al the plate
Two runs counted and Ryan's clean
smash 10 center added two more.
Washington got her start in the third
when, with two out. SeIbach singled and
scored on Anderson's three cushion carom
of the fence in right field.
Weber's finish came with the fourth
when Chicago renewed the assault. Con-
nor opened the round with a hit and
Chance walked into one of Rosey's slow
sants. Griffith sacrificed and Ryan added
two more tallies 10 the total Everett

down the line and scored a moment later

in the seventh Washington had a
chance, for Griffith gave Selbach and An

gave an exhibition Of high and lofty tum-
bling. He gave three bases in succession
and made a wild pitch. which, combined
with FarrelFs passed ball. a steal and
Rietz's muff. gave Chicago two runs.
Washington completed her minority re-
port in the seventh. MCGUIRE got started
on an error. Jud Smith smashed 4 triple
to the fence. Gettman cut a single to
right. but while he was stealing Wrigley

s;rangest double of the season. Lange,
thinking that the catch made the last out,
