Standing of the Clubs.

After q long run Of consecutive de-
feats al the hands Of Hart's HowIers
and Tebeau's Tramps, the poor. de-
Rpised Senators rallied yesterday and
took q. fall out Of Bucks Braves in
game that was hard fought from the
sound Of the gong To the finish and un-
narred by any unseemly wrangling or
rCwdy playing.
The contest was one Of those clean
cut enjoyable affairs go seldom seen
since the adoption of the Brush rule.
It was ladies day" and the fair fans
We're out IN force. but did not outnum-
Der the loyal rooters Of the male per
suasion, who still retain faith in the
Senators strength and confidently be-
lieve they VIII land IN the first divi-
sion.
The home team simply struck their
proper pace and as q result outplayed
the League leaders at all points, and
the victory scored was due to opportune
hitting, while the Reds defeat can be
attributed to the superb field work of
their opponents. The fact that three
of the visitors were caught at the plate
on attempts to score IS pretty good evi-
dence that speedy work was the order
Of the day.
Heine Rietz started the sensational
fielding in the second inning, when he
made a great running stop of Irwins
hard hit grounder past second and threw
the runner out Again, in the sixth,
Pepper distinguished himself by a
great catch OF IrWin's high fly to short
right center. Zeile Wrigley next came
in for a good hand when he copped Nc
Phee's hard drive towards center by
way Of the second sack and shot the
ban to Jimmy Fields in ample time to
deprive "Biddy" Of the satisfaction Of
perching on sack one. McPhee was
also robbed Of a two -bagger in the sec
ond, when Fields and the initial bag
worked together in great style, the
former getting the put out and the lat
ter an assist.
The sturdy TeutOn guardian Of the
Senators left field was eager for a
chance TO distinguish himself and the
opportunity presented itself in the
eighth inning. when St Jacob Beck
ley sent the sphere sailing into the
air and apparently out Of hall
ing distance, but Selbach concluded
10 make a try for it anyhow, and his
effort was successful, but the accom-
plishment Of the feat compelled the
Baron 10 horizontaliZe himself on the
Ereensward. The applause which fol-
lowed shook the rafters of the grand
a twinge.
The work Of both Mercer and Dwyer.
who occupied the points for their
respective teams, was Of a high order.
The Senatorial twirler, however. had
the best Of the battle, despite the fac
that he was far from well man at the
beginning Of the seventh inning, but he
piuckily stayed in the box to the end
Of The game In addition to clever
work in the box, Winnie led the Sena-
tors at the bat, beating out an infieId
hit and two bunts.
