Record of the Clubs.

The Senators and the Orioles concluded
their series at Baltimore yesterday and.
by winning the game by score of ii to -
the birds made it an even break. each club
taking seven games. Dineen pitched for the
Washington men. and was hit for thirteen
singles and Il double. the Senators getting
three singles and three-bagger OF
Hughes. The game is thus described by the
Baltimore Sun:
Wagners club which in past years used
to be one of the easiest propositions the
Baltimores had to solve, has proved q sad
stumbling block this year after the first
few contests and has been big factor in
kl eping Baltimore behind Boston in the
pennant race. Yesterdays game was
waIkover for Hanlons men, and it seemed
strange how the visitors ever managed to
defeat them the day before at the capital.
In fact. most of Baltinore's victories have
been by overwhelming scores. but some
how the Senators have contrived to win
most Of the close games.
1t seems strange that the Orioles should
have made in the whole series ninety eight
runs to Washington's fOTty-siX and still
lose seven of the fourteen games. but 1t IS
a fact. The runs were lamentably badly
distributed, from the standpoint of Balti-
,nore's championship hopes. but such anom-
allies are not infrequent in base ball. The
Orioles played good ball yesterday-a
strong. aggressive, scientific game. especial
ly at bat. Hughes was in fine trim also.
and the visitors only got four hits, one of
which was pure scratch. The game was
SO one-Sided, however, that the interest
dragged a little, in spite of the good play

Kelley was still on the sick list, and Kit
son played center field. He led the team
at bat, with three pretty singles out of
five times at bat The fielding feature OF
the game was a beautiful running catch by
Freeman of Hughes liner in the third in
ming and the doubling of Clarke at first
base Freeman is remarkably fast on his
feet and a hard hitter. and looks as if he
could hold his own in league company.

judged by results, but he has the earmarks
of coming pitcher. With proper coaching
he would probably make a good man. The
Orioles opened on him savagely at the
start. With one out in the first inning

singled. Mccain was hit and Holmes
singled. and all this. with De Montrevilles S
