Rain and wet grounds prevented the
game yesterday scheduled between the
Washington and Pittsburg clubs AS a con-
sequence two games for one admission will
be played today, the first game starting at
2 O'clock
Manager-Captain Patsy Donovan arrived
in Washington yesterday at noon, highly
elated over his victory of the day before
over the Chicagos. and feeling full of con-
hdence to the result of the games in this
city. Shortstop Ely. who was out of the
game for few days, has regained his old
time form and will be in his accustomed
place today. The murder of Henry Reitz's
father few days ago in Chicago necessi-
tated the eX-Senator's withdrawal from the
game and little Madison has taken his place
at second. Madison was with the I.ancas-
ter club last season and was the sensation
of the minor leagues. Another minor league
star. Williams, will be found a third base
for the Pittsburgs and far this season
his Wolk has been OF the best quality. The
visitors outfield Is about the same as last
season, Mccarthy. McCreary and Donovan,
and the work OF this trio during the first
month of this has been the talk
OF the league. Every man is feet and all
have been hitting the ball hard Behind the
bat that hard working player Bowerman
will be found and he is still putting up the
same high article of ball.
The Pittsburg club has been playing in
hard luck since the season opened. First
one and then another of the prominent
players would be injured or some unusual
happening would cause their retirement
from the game. These mishaps doubt
less led to Manager Watkins retirement.
and the club slowly but surely rounds
into Its true form Patsy Donovan, the
popular ex-senator, will be hand to
reap the benefit Mr.. Watkins
tremely strict with the men under him and
this might have affected their work, but
Donovan may prove a happy. medium and
get the players to do their best.
1mmedia tcly after the games this even
ing. both clubs will take the cars for Pitts
burg, the Senators opening their western
trip in that city, playing one game, and then
jumping to Cleveland. The three games in
the latter city will doubtless determine
which aggregation shall be the water car
rier for the league. Chicago and Pitts
burg will follow Cleveland, and then the
Senators return home and cross bat with
the Pirates once more, May II. The trip
does not look like hard one outside of
Chicago, and it IS not asking too much to
claim an even break for the Washingtons.
