| The first game proved rather easy for
| the Senators, Billy Dineen pulled him
| self together and twirled the ball In his
| best style, a style that has proved very
effective against the best clubs in the
league. Dineen has drifted into the ''in
and OUT class, and there is no telling
when he is due for good work. If big Bill
could remain at his best all the time there
is no twirler in the big league that has a
hunch'' on him when effectiveness is con-
sidered Yesterday was one of Bily's good
days, and even the sensational batting
streak of Third Baseman Williams was
punctured by the deceiving down and in
shoots of the Senator But seven hits
were made by the Pirates and of this
number Mccarthy secured three and Beau
mont two. With the bases occupied Dineen
was at his best, supreme test Of a good
twirler, at one time retiring the side with
each base occupied
For a wonder the Senators took a day off
in error-making and supported Dineen in
grand style, although two miSplayS were
recorded against OBrien and Bonner. Ath-
erton and Padden. the erratic players,
played like "a house a-fire," the former
having seven chances and the latter six,
all of which were taken care of in mas
terly style. Jimmy Slagle, besides regain
ing his batting eye in Pittsburg, fie!ded
well, while Buck Freeman came out of
the lobster class with a rush, securing
a triple and two singles
Leever did the twirling for the Pittsburgs
and was hit when hits meant runs, and
although he was given excellent support
the consecutive ''bingling' drove the four
runs over the plate.
The Second Gaze.
In the second game the two players, Ath.
erton and Padden who were coupled uD in
brilliant fielding in the first game went
to pieces and made four of the five mis-
plays charged against the Washingtons
weighing began the twirling for the sena-
tors at the start off, but after one run in
the first and three in the second had been
made by the Pittsburgs, he was relieved by
oarsey' the latter doing we'll for the re-
indinder or the game Young CheSbro

has been twirling in sensational style of
late. was on the rubber for the Pitts
burgs. and was hit hard throughout the
that the Pirates win-out can be ascribed
to luck. as they We're not fielding the best

ment of the day, and the score came with
