Record of the Clubs.

The Senator'S headed by Manager Irwin
and j. Earl Wagner, marched out OF the
Baltimore and Ohio station at an early
hour this morning, after uresome rlde
from Pittsburg, and the most successful
trip ever made by a Washington club was
at an end With the exception of JACK
O'Brien and Pitcher Mcfarland, every
man can be said TO be in the pink of con-
dition. O'Brien's leg is, if anything, worse
than when he went away, and but for his
disability the new men would not have
gone into yesterdays games at PlttsburS.
Jack could just about hobble around, and
suffered intensely all the time but as Man
ager Irwin needed him he stuck to his post
manfully and did his best. The injury re-
ceived by Mcfarland in the morning game
yesterday, while very painful, is not
thought to be serious, although he is black
and blue on the body for foot above anu
below the waist. Mac says he remembers
nothing after the ball hit him, and didn't
know that he had he d the ball and retired
the batter. and for an hour afterward he
was unconscious. The probabilities are that
1t will be a week or ten days before Nc
Farland gets back in the game.
When seen at the grounds this morning
Manager Irwin was not bit inflated over
that the club was doing just exactly what
he expected of it. He says the big hole at
shortstop has been almost perfectly sealed
up, Dick Padden playing a game that
cannot be exceled by any of the short
stops of the league and that his new men,
Anterior and Barry, handle themselves IN
way that convinces everybody of their
ability ball players. Both these new
men will be in todays game, and Gus
weighing will pitch. Manager Irwin intl-
mated that Winnie Mercer would be used
regularly in turn from the pitchers rub
Der hereafter. as he is satisfied that with
good support the East Liverpool boy Will
regain his old standing as one of the pre-
mIer tWirlerS of the league
only tour or neVe of the Senators donned
uniforms this morning for practice the
others slowing themselves away for a good
sleep something they couldn't get on the
train last night. Arlie Latham was among
those who praCticed at the park this morn
ing, and the chances are that he Will con-
tlnue to brighten things up around the park
Win MS witty sallies and interesting coach
ing.
DICK Padden is very proud of the pres
ehts ne received yesterday in Pittsburg
from MS Martins Ferry friends-a hand
some diamond stud and an elegant pair of
sleeve buttons-and in return played a game

and throws. p'
