Base Ball Notes.
The Senators move on to Louisville today
for three games.
Mr.. Buck" Freeman has sixteen home
runs to his credit, and there are chances
for couple more before the season closes.
The st. Louis fans designated the Sem
ators as HOLSTERS when they went on the
field Sunday As the series has closed 3 to
/ in favor of the Washingtons it is a peril
rent question to now inquire to what class
the st. Louis club belongs.
The Senators will have a hard proposition
to face in Louisville for the next three
days. The Colonies have been meeting de-
feat quite regular of late and will be due
for brace when the Washingtons face
them.
The batting of Johnny OBrien in St
Louis has carried him over the coveted
300 line with rush. During Jacks stay
in the mound city he 16 times at the
bat and hit safely II times, a percentage
of 100. OF this number of safetieS he had
a homer and three triples.
Little Jimmy Slagle has also pulled him
self together in the series at st. Louis, and
batted at the rate of .533, being - times at
the bat and securing hits.
Case Patten, the pitcher wanted by the
Washington club. and who is now with
Kansas City must be something of
twirler. Last Monday he was on the rub
Der against Buffalo, and Notwithstanding
that Il errors were made by the players
supporting him. he won his game. A twirl-
er that can face such a situation without
Weakening possesses rare ability.
Manager Wiimpt, the old Washington
player, is in hospital at Minneapolis, suf
fering from blood poisoning. resulting from
an injury to his leg, and there is danger
| that amputation will be required. WimOt
is reported as bearing up bravely under his
misfortune, and by no means discouraged.
Frank Patterson. the base ball editor of
the Baltimore Sun, viii remember his trip
to Louisville for several weeks to come.
He was in the bus with the birds after
Sundays game and was hit in the eye with
a hunk of mud, and now the optic is in
deep mourning Patterson left the club in
disgust and in the future will report games
from a safe distance.
The latest averages published show that
the mighty Delehanty has drifted back
from the leadership of the batters. Hick-
Jesse Rurkett second with a percentage of
.4o3. Delehanty is third with .401.
The Senators now have three batters in
the exclusive 300 class. Barry Is the Sem
atoria leader with percentage Of 1906,
while Buck" Freeman has at last scram-
bled over the hurdle and has 3o3 chalked
up to his credit. The other Senators bat
ting averages are: Stafford, 800; Padden
and Mercer .292; OBrien, 2ss: Dlneen,
$50; Slagle, 26s; McGann .2i3; weighing,
1856 Mcfarland, .1s2; Kittridge, .176
Several men have fallen out of the 800
class during the past fortnight, and fifty
two are now batting above the charmed
circle. Mugsy McGraw has made more
runs and stolen more bases than anybody
else and Keller has made the largest num-
Der of base hits, while Ely leads in sacri-
fees
Dunn of Brooklyn leads the pitchers in
fielding. Old Chief thinner heads the catch
and Reitz continues his lead at second.
Lave Cross continues to build up his Won
derful third base percentage, and George
Davis has handsome record down at
snort; Hamilton leads the outiielders, Har-
ry Blake second.
Among the licenses issued yesterday by
Clerk Bird Of the orphans court, Phia-
deipha. there was one for the marriage Of
Albert j. Maui, the well-known base ball
player, residing at 2lL3 West Dauphin
street, to Anna E. Hardt, residing at 1856
Dunton street.
In the second game two new players ap-
peared in the home team, Burns at second
and Coughlin, lately secured from Wash
ington, at third. Coughlin's stops were the
feature of the game. Several men have been
! tried on third this season and they have
all been failures till Coughlin appeared.
The grounds We're slippery, and on two
occasions Coughin fell while fielding but
threw the ball while on his knees.-K ansas

Frisk, Cincinnati's new pitcher will prob
aDiy be given chance to show his mettle
TINS Week Both the Baltimores and Phil
adelphlas are hard-hitting teams. and "a
victory by the new recruit over either one
OF these teams will be big feather in his
cap.

after him. and Lockhead, receiving the
