STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

How dear to our hearts is the unbroken record;
The unbroken record all know so well.
To the above refrain, sung by a select
chorus of 1S2 loyal fans in the bleachers,
the Hoodoos. otherwise the Senators,
marched out upon the diamond yesterday
afternoon. And how bravely they battled
to preserve that -Unbroken Record can
not be told through the feeble medium of
words.
The principal credit for yesterdays de-
feat certainly belongs TO Dineen, who
embraced every opportunity offered to
lose the game. Luckily for the specta-
tors, the agony only lasted one hour
and forty-five minutes. In the ninth in
ming the Senators came as near to win
ming as they possibly could, and cold
shivers ran down the spinal columns of
the loyal 'uns as visions of shattered
hefeat record hove in sight.
With the score to in favor of the
Quakers, Mercer went to bat for the
sailor-shortstop. The feminine portion of
the audience gave him a merry hand
clapping, and the gentlemanly Quaker
twirler with the calcium locks rendered
the raven-haired Winnie a pass to the
initial sack on balls. Red BilP' Dineen
pushed the ball towards Monte" Cross
and beat the sphere to Douglass's corner.
The worshipers at the Unbroken Record
shrine grew nervous.
The great Heine Rietz then came to the
rescue and forced Dineen at second. A
sigh of relief swept over the crowd. Cp
steps the fieet-focted '.Jakey" Gettman,
and with ghoulish glee drives the ball to
right center for two sacks, sending the
dove-eyed pitcher-shortstop and the pep
perry" second baseman across the home
plate. The crowd is panic stricken Brave
men grow pale and fair women become
hysterical. 1t is a trying moment for the
mighty Selbach, with his 1rusty ash, faces
Donohue AS if to add to the torture Of
the moment, Donny loses control and
sends the Baron down to first on balls
Jud Smith then eases up the suspense a
trifie by sending the ball to Cross and
forcing the Baron at second
The giant proportions of Duke Farrell
loom up at the plate and the worshipers
are dumfounded. "One balli'' bawls
Gaffney. Two ballsi" The silence of
the tomb reigns The Duke then makes
two vicious Intellectual swipes at the elu-
sive sphere Three ballsi' rings out in
mocking accents across the Field of De-
feat The supreme moment is at hand.
"Will the cherished hopes of the fans be
Record remain intact?" is the thought
that flashes across the minds OF the spec
tators. There is a merry twinkle in Far
rolls eye. Donohue bends the ball about
five inches Off the side of the plate. The
Duke is quick TO see the opportunity TO
end the suspense and preserve the I'm
broken Record, and-strikes out. The fif-
teenth consecutive defeat is registered
and in a wild delirium of JOY fans. root
ers, and worshipers file out Of National
Park.
