Record of the Clubs

The Senators continued their losing streak
yesterday in the second game at st. Louis
which the Perfectos captured by the score
of to 4. Gus weighing and Cyrus Young
were on the rubber for the two clubs and
both were hit hard, the latter's better sup
port enabling his club to win out. Only
two errors are charged UP against the Sem
ators, but several stupid plays, which are
really more demorahzing than misplays,
were made by the Senatorial aggregation
and a couple Of runs resulted. weighing S
work would have been classed as very good
with first-class support but additional OPP
portunities to bat the bail were offered the
opposing batsmen and, of course. they took
advantage of the additional chances
Young, on the other hand, was backed up
well, Wallace being the only transgresSor
in the error column, and his misplay was of
little moment.
Quite large delegation of visiting Elks
was at the game, several being from Wash
ington, and, of course, they cheered their
representatives at every opportunity; but
The bright particular spot of the contest
was the home run drive of Buck Free
mans, a terrific drive to left center, that
enabled the smuggling right fielder to get
over the home plate before the ball was
returned to the nfield.
First Baseman Cassidy was taken Ill in
the fifth inning, and he was relieved, first
by Mercer and then by Barry, Winnie's
error earning recall to the bench. Jimmy
plauded by the onlookers, the little fellow
having put outs and l assist to his credit,
a big record for fielder
Following is the score:
