glorious one. not so much on account Of
their losing games. but chiefly because of
the way the defeats were brought about.
The trip through the west. that closes to-
day, has been repetition OF the senatorial
work since the season opened-sloppy, un-
even fielding. Here and there a weak-hit-
ting game would crop out, but the poor
fielding accounts for the local clubs car
rying the BOBBY banner tn the champion
ship race. In the face OF the continuous
losses, drastic measures can be looked for
next week. The playing material is GER
tainly there. How to work it to advantage
Is the problem that cenfronts Mr.. Wagner,
and the patrons of the game can be assured
that the tangle will be Strengthened out,
one way or the other. the coming week.
What the Washington patrons desire are
victories, no matter how they are obtained,
as long as they are legitimate. Last sea-
son the Senators won eight games out of
thirty-seven,I and the record was laughed
at by the local players before this season
opened.
From the present situation 1t would ap-
pear that the local club will be lucky II It's
record Is that good this season. and even
at the best 1t cannot be much better.
The Inaeld Work Bad.
Undoubtedly the infield is what IL
causing the havoc. Doyle and Reitz are
not playing within q mile of the games
they put up last season, while Wrigley
seems to have buried all the bright prom
ises that blossonaed pver his work last
year. To call jack Doyle gutter
would appear to b., the rankest of charges.
