GAMES TODAY.
Cincinnati at Chicago.

Ed Hanlons "Superbas,' from the minor
district of Greater New York, was the at
traction at National Park yesterday The
club is chaperoned by President Charles
II. Ebbetts, who looks after the dignity
and proprieties of the aggregation and
audits the gate receipts.
The team has not yet attained its best
form. The staff of pitchers are not in
good playing condition. and the fielding
Hanlon standard. They are coming fast,
however, and the astute manager says
the team win soon be playing the game
they are capable of. The absence of .Ien-
nings Is keenly fe,t, not SO much for his
play, but for his heady and hustling gen.
eralship. as he is a valuable man in
all emergencies. The Dodgers came tere
smarting under defeat sustained nj the
hands of the Orioles, thinking, doubtless,
that they would even up matters with the
Senators. but their fondest hopes were
decidedly shy of realization; in other
words, IL is a case of hope deferred until
a more suspicious occasion. The Senators
have had it in for somebody for some time,
and the little victory they had over New
York on Friday gave them an anxiety for
more, and II was Just the Brooklyn luck
10 come along when they were feeling tnat
way, and, of course, they were made Or
tins of the occasion. The Superbas went
about their business in a nonchalent
sort of way and seemed by their actions
TO say Its too bad TO have 10 punish
these Senators who are trying SO hard TO
make an honest living, yet it is fate, ana
we can't help IL. so come up boys ana take
your hoarhound stew. But, on, what
difference after the game, Charlie Eb-
belts had an attack of nervous prostration
and went away from the park, leaving a
check on Mr.. wagner's desk. Ed Hanion
had a rush of blood 10 his head that Grim
soued every feature of his usually stern
and mobile face. He was hit and hara,
and SO had his club been Such are Inc
eccentricities Of baseball. You never
know what is going TO happen
Dinneen was in the box for Washington
and pitched an excellent game. Eleven nlts
were made of him. but they were not the
kind that produced runs. Keeler being the
only man that hit him for more than one
base. He gave but one base on balls,
struck out two, and had two hits. He was
steady and pitched with splendid judgment.
The Senators outplayed the Superoas at
all points The honor OF the victory be-
louged largely to the splendid stick work
of Freeman, who made home run; TO
Cassidy. who also made the circuit of the
bases on a beauty to right field that es-
caped the vigilance OF Billy Keeler, and 10
Dick Padden who lined out two two-bag-
gers. Brooklyn scored one run in the first
on two hits and balk, which put three
men on the bases. They scored two in the
second on hits by Farrell, Kennedy, and
Kelley. Casey got his base on balls and
was left. In the fifth they scored another
and their last one The Senator's failed to
score until the fifth inning, when Mcclure
started a batting rally by single 10 left
and after Dinneen was disposed OF Padden
hit to left for three bases scoring Mcclure.
Slagle went out to Anderson on fly and
and Padden came home on the throw-in-
In fhessixth Cassidy singled to centre and
was thrown out at second O'Brien singled
Freeman few out 10 Keller Mcguire sim
gled to left. Dinneen got his base on
fieIder's choice, and Padden's base on balls
forced run over the plate. McGuire's hit
scoring Dinneen. In the eighth inning Free
man knocked the ball over to Alexandria
and walked around home. Another run
was made in the ninth inning. The Dodg-
ers failed to transact any business with
Dinneen in their half of the ninth inning
and the agony ended. One Of the best
crowds since the opening day of the season
was present, and the first real earnest glad
hand was given the CLUB. That does not
speak well for the great Capital. whose
generous and noble impulses are said to be
proverbial and spontaneous. AS The Times
has heretofore said. the present team Will
yet be the pride and glory of our fans.
Its improvement is remarkable. The
team il beginning o hit, and it Is
bound to win games. Cassidy had a hard
day at short, but his stick performances
ntoned for all other failures. His regular
position is third base. and he will be placed
there as soon as Hulen is well enough to
pfav Tho EcQre-
