was a good game to look at.

1t was a good game to look at.
Bonner can be congratulated on his good
start.
The club looked 80 per cent better than
when il went away.
Weyhng's work looked good and healthy.
He never left off and worked hard all the
time.
Slagle may be weak on ground balls but
if he throws himself in front of them at all
times, as he did yesterday, very few will
escape.
Jimmy Stafford hit well yesterday, but he
the latter being winner at every stage of
the game.
Charley Nichols can be said to be up
against it, lately his drops and shoots be-
ing hit with considerable regularity by the
opposing batsmen.
Mercer deserves encouragement in his en-
deavors to play third base. He Is certainly
fit for the position, being fleet of foot, a
beautiful thrower and capable of taking
care of himself in mix up around the
third corner. His work yesterday shows
remarkable improvement.
Pitcher Dunkle was given his release yes
terday, and will probably go back to the
Wilkesbarre club. A catcher by the name
of Butler has been signed. 1t is probably
the same one who played with Louisville in
81.
Tony Mullane has been brought back to
National League life by the Cleveland club.
Mullane is as strong as ever and may be
another Maui. Sockalexis has been sent to
the stable for good The Indian had slip
ped back into his old habits and Lave Cross
threw him overheard in disgust.
Billy Nash has been given his release by
the Buffalo management A poor start for
the Bisons has driven Billy out of the game
for the time being. Several clubs have al
ready opened negotiations for the once
great third baseman.
Dick Padden is now leading the Senators
with the stick, his percentage being .324.
Mercer is close up with 1923. dim Mcclure
has dropped entirely out of the 300 class,
and Padden and Mercer are the only Sena-
tors among the select stickmen.
One veteran fan at yesterdays game
remarked that he hadn't had a chance to
yell for the Senators for so long time that
he had forgotten how. In the fifth inning
he opened up in real earnest, and afterward
remarked that he felt better Good ball
playing will always catch the Washington
enthusiasts.
Bill Donovan landed another game for
Richmond yesterday and Zeke Wrigley help
ed out with a double and great fielding.
Seybold. Richmond's hard hitter, has been
out Of thsngame for some time on account
of sickness.
