Arthur Wagner's injury in Wednesday s
game was quite serious. He struck Gray S
knee with the upper part of his leg and
the limb has swollen up considerably. 1t

morning at National Park, under the keen
eye of Manager Doyle trying to master
the beauties of the bunt hit. This prac-
tice is telling already on the men and is

The Senators go to Baltimore for one
game tomorrow, and then play two, and
