Records of the Clubs.

Yesterdays game at National Park was
well played and interesting. the only disap-
pointment being that Chicago defeated the
Senators . to 1.
The victory of the Chicagcs was brought
about by Pitcher Garvin, recently of the
Atlantic League, who ofiiciated on the rub
Der for the visitors and twirled exception
ally fine ball throughout the nine innings.
Nine hts are credited TO the Senator's, but
several were of the suspicious kind and
very fiuky, while the support of the Cow
boys was decidedly off color. The error
making began i'll the first inning, but was
not costly. Garvin refusing to so mo the
air, and the hits necessary to score runs
could not be made. Magoon, Conner and
Wolverton were the transgressois but while
these players fell down on easy chances
they also punctured several well-leveloped
batting rallies through sensational plays,
Conner especially pulling down one of
freemans drives into right field with one
hand Garvin is evidently a fixture in the
big league, having plenty of speed and
curves and is bright enough to retain his
nerve and field his position well.
Kid Carsey did the twirling for the
Senators and lid it well. an unfortunate
bounding ball that escaped the capacious
paws of First Baseman McGanp probably
robbing MIN of a victory. Three runs were
made in the eighth as a result of this one
hit and Garvin's fine work the rubber
would have been nulified but for this one
lucky unlucky drive. The Chicagos
would hit the bail hard, but good fielding
prevented base hits and runs being scored
Frank Bonner, who is at present playing
the game of his life, captured a ball back
of first base and after turning around threw
