Record of the Clubs.

The Senat ors defeated the Chicagos yes
terday at National Park by the score of 3
to l, and incidentally established a record
for themselves of winning three straight
games on the home grounds, two from ST.
Louis and the first one of the present series
with the windy city boys.
The game, from start to finish was
spTinkled with sensational plays timely
hitting and unexpected errors. The work
of the senatorial infed was unusually
brilliant, Dick Padden getting into the SEN
satlonal class and Atherton, Bonner and
cassidy being punched in the brilliant,
steady playing stake race. Two of Pad
den's plays killed off base hits, Griftith's
nit IN the third being partially stopped by
Dineen and then recovered in time by Dick

usually hard hit ball by Everett near sec
ond was the occasion for the other sensa-
tional play. Jimmy Slagle shut off a triple
by great running and a catch over his
shoulder, and then, later on, booted a hard
MT pail almost to the left field foul line,
getting the only error of the game.

above the ordinary, owing to the chances
offered being easy. Mertes out in center
