Once more the Senators sent a shiver of
surprise through their friends at home
by defeating st. Louis yesterday in the
mound city by the score of IL to I. Four
games have comprised the series just clos
ed, and of this number the Washington
ians captured three. a good record for the
best club in the league and a wonderful
performance for the Senators. Yesterdays
victory came as a result of hard hitting
Johnny O'Brien, the erratic left fielder of
the Senators. getting two triples and two
singles. Donlin was placed on the rubber
for the Perfectos, but the young man has
done very little twirling this season, and
he was wild and ineffective. In the first
part of the game his bases on balls were
numerous, but later on, when he located
the plate, his benders were batted all over
the lot. Donlin was kept on the rubber
until the eighth inning, when Powell re-
lieved him. Dinneen did the pitching for
the Senator's. and, while he was hit hard
he kept the bingles scattered throughout
the nine innings, which prevented scoring.
The fielding of both clubs was not of the
best. the TebeauiteS having five miSplayS,
while the Senators had four. Dick Padden
was the bright particular star of the day
in a fielding way, having ten chances and
coppering them all without flaw. At the
bat Dick secured only one bingle, but it
was of the real sort, being good for four
bases. Donlin offset his bad work on the
rubber by hitting safely four times, one of
them a homer that is credited with being
the longest hit of the season, and Jesse
Burkett continued his wonderful hitting
squirt by landing three safe ones to his
credit. Following is the score:

Notwithstanding his residence in the ma

Secretary Root has taken full advantage
Of his leisure hours to acquaint himself
with the suburbs and their attractions.
Every afternoon when the weather was
fair he made long trips into the sur
rounding country, and is now quite an en-

the environments of Washington. Adjutant
General Corbin has usually been his CON-
pauon on these trips and has proved an
admirable guide in traversing popular
drives as well as in discovering less fire.
Quented and unbeaten paths. One of the
good results of these excursions into the
surrounding country has been to make the
new Secretary OF War an earnest advocate
Of the Improvement of the approaches to
the national capital. 4 few evenings ago
the two officials made a tour of observation
between this city and Mt. Vernon The
special object of this trip was to give Sec
rotary Root data for important rec
onmcndation which he proposes to make in
his first annual report to Congress. This
relates to the erection of the proposed me-
mortal briGgc across the Potomac and the
construction of Il magnificent boulevard ex-
tending from its Virginia end to the home
of the father of his country.
The project for tho memorial bridge is
already under way. under authority Of an
act OF the last Congress, and three of the

for the structure. As understood, Secretary
Root Will make Il strong argument for the
erection of the bridge and will also recon-

Adjutant General Corbin is credited with
being the author OF the idea of connecting
the home Of the first President with the Of
fetal home of his Successors by a fine road
way. His idea is to have the boulevard run
past the national cemetery at Arlington
down along the placid Potomas to the very
entrance To Mt. Vernon. and that it should
be of such 4 character as regards utility
and beauty to make ii ornament to
the capita! and an honor to the nation 1t
