What will the Senators do with the Col,

onels?
1t is to be hoped the Senators have bid
den goodbye to the twelfth hole.
Think of Duke Farrell stealing bases on
Catcher Clements. 1t hardly seems posi-
Bile, as Glenn is left handler and a great
thrower.
Jim MCGUIRE doesn't seem SO slow at
first base. He had twenty-three chances
yesterday and coppered them ALL and be-
sides hammered out four singles and a
triple. Players may come and players may
go, but "Old Reliable seems destined to
go on forever.
Gettman had an off day with the stick
yesterday and also in the field, only one
hit coming his way, while two errors were
chalked up against him. The Nebraska
boy is emphatically all right and will come
again.
Jack Doyle Is down with a bad case of
malaria and will probably not be in the
game for week. Wrigley has apparently
recovered somewhat from his attack of
this fashionable malady as he DISPLAYED
more ginger yesterday than for weeks
past.
Think of two seasoned players like Dowd
and Carsey making the plumbers they did
yesterday. There is some excuse for young
players making breaks of that sort, but
running on fly balls under the belief that
two are out Is very much like amateur ball
playing.
Manager Hurst is evidently saving Tay-
lor and Carsey for the Baltimore and Phil
adelphfa series. Tim evidently moderated
game. Had either Taylor. Esper or Car
sey been put in to pitch at least one VIC
tory to the Browns credit might have re-
suited.
Pitcher Roy Evans handle himself well
yesterday, all his movements around the
box indicating that he keeps his head we'll
and knows how to field his position. Hold
ing big league team down to seven hits
Is quite s. feat.
The LouisviIles couldn't get out of Phil
adelphia quick enough. They left the
Quaker city almost Immediately after the
game and arrived in Washington at an

left f1eld-Fred Clarke. He is SO good that
he makes the remainder Of the team look
like selling platers. The ex-senator, Frank
games in this city. II the Senators trounce
the Colonies well they can get out of the
eleventh hole and edge up on Brooklyn.
A special from Springfield. Mass. says
that the directors of the club representing
that city in the Eastern League have in
structed Manager Lush to release First
Baseman Dan Brouthers. the great hitter;
Pitcher Korwan and Outfielder George
President Watkins of the Pittsburg club
issued orders yesterday in that city to
have the betting in the grand stand stop
ped. officers being detailed to look out for
the offenders.
Pitcher Sam Lever, purchased from the
Richmond club last fall by the Pittsburg
management, left the smoky city last night
to rejOin his old companions Pittsburg
has so many slab artists under contract
that Watkins decided to give Lever the
beneht OF one more season in a minor
league. Lever VIII boost the Richmond
club wonderfully. they are weak in
pitchers.
There was a well-defned rumor in Pitts
burg yesterday that President Robson. the
Cleveland masnate, is ready to ACCEPT
President Watkins offer of four men and
$4,000 for four Cleveland players The
Indians wanted are Young, Wallace, Burk-
EFT and childs. The Pirates who would
probably be used in the trade are Brodie,
Gray. Egan and possibly Killen.
The public has a deep-rooted idea that
base ball manager tnstructs his men in ali
the details of the game; that when a man
goes to the bat he IL ordered to try for q
certain kind Of a hit whether the bases are
fuu or empty. This Is not so. and the man
