Once more those pesky, reconstructed

thought to be the proper move to dump the
entire aggregation into the ocean to keep
company with their companions in speed.

one of the strongest clubs two games out
of three played. Yesterday at St. Louis the
Senators won from the Perfecuos by the
score Of IA to II. Not by a fuke, but
through good. hard hitting, something the
Washington boys are supposed to know
nothing about.
The game was full of excitement, owing
to the poor work of the umpires am the
hard hitting of both teams. In the first
two innings the ST. Louis crowd obtained
start of seven runs to nothing, but from
that time until the finish the Senators ham
mered the ball for keeps, scoring seven
runs in the third inning and driving Cuppy
