STANDING OF THE CLUBS

The game yesterday between the Sem
ators and the Brooklyns was a regular
old-fashioned slugging match. The Wis
itors were more fortunate in punching
their hits than the home team and the
game went to them on its merits. 1t
was a clean played game from the start
to the finish, and although the home
team came out second best the local fans
had no kick coming.
Dineen went in to pitch for the Sen
ators and the Trolley Dodgers took so
kindly to his curves that Capt. Brown
concluded to replace him with Amole in
the third. The Doctor proved quite ef-
fective against the Brooklyns and
caught Jones and Shindle mapping at
first.
The visitors. through Griffin. kicked
vigorously against Amole's style Of de-
livery, and claimed balk every time
the Doctor threw the ball to the Duke.
Emslie. however. gave the marble heart
10 their protestations, and all ended well.
Donovan went in in the sixth and only
allowed the visitors TWO hits, but pre-
sented Tucker and Ryan with bases on
balls. He also struck out Shindle and
Griffin.
Yeager the new man drafted from Ian
caster was in the points for the visitors,
and pitched a very clever game. He has
good control of the ball and possesses
speed Of no mean degree. 1t is reasonable
10 say that he viii develop into a star
twirler for the Trolley Dodgers.
Tommy fuckers playing was feature
of the game. His batting and base run
ming were gilt-edged, and he accepted
eleven chances without an error Ryan
also put UP a fast game.
Today the Senators and Broklyns viii
meet for the last game in the present
series. and as it is the second ladies
day a large crowd viii be on hand TO see
the contest. 1t is expected that Mercer
viii pitch.
Owing TO darkness the game was called
in the eighth inning.
