The Senator'S winning streak is a little
| late, but still appreciated.
Jack O'Brien continued his good stick
work, and the wonder of it all is that he
faced southpaw yesterday.
| Kittridge was still out of the game yes
terday. but little Roach is doing 50 well
| that Manager Irwin probably decided to
| take no chances on KITS" bad leg.
Too bad Jimmy Stafford had to be taken
| sick at a time he was doing SO well at
| short for the Senators. Reports from
! Louisville do not give the nature of Jim's
illness, but it is hoped it will not be pro-
/ longed.
| Roy Evans, the ex-senator, who has been
pitching very finely for the Providence team
this season, will join the Washington club
| in this city September 10. Evans has
proved to be the best twirler in the Eastern
| League this season.

| team. Willis Is d brother of "Vic" Willis,
pitcher of the Boston team, and is an in

| Ex-Manager W. H. Watkins of Pittsburg,
who invaded New England territory to pick
! up players, recommended to Boston the
| purchase of Pitcher Patrick E. Foley of the
Newport club, and a check has been sent to
President Young for that player. Foley
| has done fine work in the box for Newport
| this season He is twenty-five years of
age, stands five feet eight inches in height
| and weighs $50 pounds. He first played
| with Newport in 81.
| Fred Clarke tells an interesting tale how
| Ned Hanlon lost Leach the Louisville how
| wonder. .Hanlon" said he was wild to
| get Hans Wagner. l wouldn't let him go.
The home papers, however had jumped
| upon Leach, who failed at short, and he
asked me to let him get away. l told him
I'd do it as soon as Billy Clingman got
| back. When l offered Leach to Hanlon he
laughed at me. Then 1 let Worcester have
| him, and had to recall him. for Clingman
was again taken ILL., Hanlon. who had re-
fused my early proposition. is now willing
| to give $1,530 and Casey for Leach's re-
| lease, but he can't get him.
| Manager Connie Mack of the Milwaukee
| Grub has been notified that Pitcher Reidy
will be drafted by the Brooklyn club at the
close of the western League season. Man
| ager Hanon had chat with Reidy in Chi
| cago last Saturday, land made satisfactory
| arrangements at that time with the Mil
| waukee pitcher to join the Bridegrooms,
provided there, is np trouble in drafting
| him. Manager Shannon of the Buffalo

| making severalE changes In the team. He
has purchased Third Baseman Schaub from

Jamison, the Indian, and Fielder Jack
| Shearon from the Montreal club. He has
| released Catcher Hausen outright, and gave

ey and Second 'Baseman Morrissey of the
Manistee club. =
The mysterious man in the base ball
world at present is ex-Manager Watkins
| of the Pittsburgs. According to the western
papers Watkins is credited with being
| slated for Manager Ewing's situation in
Cincinnati next season, and also posi-
| bility for his old job in the smoky city.
| On top of this comes a well-defined rumor
that ''Watty' is the agent of the promoters
| of the new base ball association forming,
| and that he will manage one of the clubs
| i'll thar organization next year. 1t is esti-
mated that Watkins has secured contracts
| with fully fifteen or twenty of the best
| players now members of the Eastern and
Western leagues. and should it develop that
| ha 10 ion ma n lpa pyIla
clubs, who have been counting on securing
| players from the minor associations, will
| be left in the lurch. The strong argument
against Watkins being the agent of the
! Cincinnati club is the fact that President
| Brush has paid out fully $500 for players
| already this fall, and will probably buy
more before the season closes. If Watkins
| was his agent the Cincinnati magnate
would hardly put out this much money for
new men when a big string of them are
| already under control Watkins himself is
non-committal when interviewed on the
| subject of his future location. but persists
! in the statement that there will be a new
association in the field next season. AS to
| his going to Pittsburg to supplant Man
| ager Donovan, it is hardly likely, although
possible. All the promising young players
| on that team We're secured by Watkins, and
| this fact has redeemed him in the eyes of
| the smoky city fans and 1t is known that
| he stands ACE high with President Kerr
of that club.
| The St. Louis Republic has the following
interesting paragraph about last Sunday IS
| double-header between the Perfectos and
| Senators:
They were just the kind of games that
| show clearly what delightfully."- uncertain
| game the great national pastime is. The
| home players, man for man, look to be al
| most full 100 per cent stronger than the
| Washingtons, and so performed in the
opening contest. In the second game the
| tribe of Tebeau were the HOLSTERS while
! the visiting minor leaguers' played rings
| around them. Washington's speed in the
| first game was sloveply to behold. They
| were like a lot of school boys in the hands
of experienced professionals, but in the sec
| ond everything was changed and the Sen
| ators cleverly evened up for their days toll
| by giving the Tebeauites a beating that
| they will long remember They were made
| to look like lot Of raw amateurs. and If
| the fans had not been awakened from
| their slumber in the early innings of game
| No. 2 by the cracking of the visitors ash
| they would have thought that 1t was all
| dream and not stern reality. Slagel,
| Mercer, Stafford, OBren and McGann,
| particularly the two last named. batted at
| terrific clip. Their most sensational per-
| Torrance came in the eighth. when OBrien
