The chances are that the Senatorial mana
ger is camping around the grounds of some
Pennsylvania club waiting for today s
games to be played SO as to have the first
pick of certain players he is DESTROYS of
signing.
All the Washington players were out
spoken yesterday against the treatment
they received from the umpires on the trip
to the west, just concluded. Being a tall
end club. they said, it seemed to be the
general impression that the Senators were
merely going around the country trying to
help other clubs climb UP the championship
ladder, and at least four more games would
have come their way with any kind of fair
show. The two close games in Cincinnati tt
should have been Senatorial victories, but
decisions at critical points of the game cut
off the necessary runs.
The latest reports from Billy Hamilton
Boston's great centerfielder, are that he
will hardly get back into the game again
this season. Pitcher Nichols said yesterday
that Hamiltons knee apparently gets we'll
but upon taking the slightest exercise the
old trouble recurs, necessitating another
rest Nichols said that with Hamilton in
the game the Bostpns would have about
ten more victories to their credit but he
| thought the club would have 10 get along
without the veteran for the rest of the sea-
son.
Manager Hanion has concluded to shake
up the Brooklyn team SO as to place 1t back
into winning streak. Big Andy Anderson
will play first, Jennings returns to short,
and Dahlen to third, Casey going to the
bench. If Jennings can get the ball over
to first this infield will be very strong Nc
Gam has gone backward with the stick and
will also grace the bench.
Assistant Umpire Warner wound up his
erratic career as member of Uncle
Niek's" staff Sunday in Cincinnati and
Umpire Swartwood begins with new run
ming mate today. Warner finished his
career by robbing the Senators of a game
and his retirement will be hailed with de-
light by the Washington fans" Swart-
woods partner from today onward will be
! the versatile and humorous Arlie Latham
and better selection could not have been
made. Magnate Wagner has been booming
Latham for some time and yesterday his
efforts were crowned with success. La
tnam'S work should be easy and success
fui, as ne Is great favorite among the
players.
Two great games will be played in
Philadelphia today, the Brooklyns being
the Quakers' opponents. These games may
be the true test of the staying ability of
the Phillies. The Quakers will face a re-
constructed team, and will have to play the
best ball possible to win There is little
question that three-fourths of the fans
of the country are roofing" for the PhlIies
to come out on top. SEA
There were a number Of close decisions
In the first game Sunday, dbut, has been
the case in all theirs games the Senators
got the worst end ofait from the umpires
in every instance. Whether the mistakes
Il
suit is debatable matter, but that they
did not help the SENATOR'S there is not the
slightest doubt.-Cincinnat Commercial

Since the Washingtons have been here
Win Mercer has played three different DO
sitions. He pitched one game. played right
field part OF another and was covering
third yesterday. Where in the league is
there another pitcher that can equal that
record? MERGERS work at third was of
the Colifns-Jimmy Wallace order. and his
good work at the bat was highly satfsfac-
tory. Mercer Is one of the most valuable
men ever owned by any club. His popu-
