Rase Rail Notes.


Senators second victory landed them in
tenth place.
Dinneen will have to brace up If he wants
to maintain his reputation
Jim McGuire's throwing was frst-cIass
yesterday, and at the bat he is the same
old Reliable hitting when hits are
needed.
IL, 1t is generally case of do or die with
Hartman while at the bat. Yesterday he
slugged out two triples and then inglorious-
ly struck out at a critical point of the game
With George Davis and Mike Tiernan
back in the game, with Ruse and Seymour
signed, the New Yorks should be quite
factor in the race for the pennant. The
balls are hit differently with first-class men
doing the twiring, and for this reason the
Giants little weakness would be almost
nullified. Washington can be congratulated
on catching the Giants handicapped, as we
need the games to give the young Senator's
confidence.
1t is to be hoped the local fans will
have little patience with Hulen. He is a
nrSt-class man, but at present is in the dol
drums and lacks confidence Billy Is fast
on his feet good hitter and will field
all right with a little encouragement. Yes
terday he made three runs and his one mis-
play was on an easy chance. Give the boy
q show
Doheney will probably pitch for New York,
today, and if Mcfarland is in good condi-
ton will make his debut with the Senators.
The Cincinnati-Cleveland game scheduled
LOT me IOTlIleT city yeSleTudy was postponed
On account of wet grounds
Bakers pitching looks very easy to the
opposing batters, but the veteran possesses
lots of wisdom that goes with experience
and can be depended upon to win major
ity of his games this season.
Sam Crane. who is representing the New
York Press, is with the Giants and remark
ed yesterday in the newspaper box that he
played with Baker in 30 with the Pittsburgs
when Palmer O'Neil was the ruling mag
nate IN the smoky city.
Casey played his first game with the
Brookyns yesterday, but had very little to
do, having only one put out to his credit.
He headed the batting list, but failed to
secure hit run.
Boston made more errors in yesterdays
game at Philadelphia than was chalked
against the club for the four games in this
city
The report comes from Baltimore that
Manager Hanlon in making the recent trade
in which Farrell and Casey figured also
given the privilege of having first choice
on the service of Pitcher Bill Donovan, now
with Richmond. AS the Baltimore people
see very little of Hanlon these days the re-
port can be taken with a few grains of salt.
Casey. the new fielder. who with Catcher
Farrell, was secured from the Washington
club on Monday, played third base and
handled everything cleanly that came to
him. He is one of the smallest players in
the league and moves with the agility of a
deer-New York Times.
Farrell, who has just been secured from
Washington with Casey by Brooklyn in ex-
| change for Cassidy, Heydon and McFar-
land. is a fine backstop and is regarded as
the hardest hitting catcher in the league

This is our last chance, eh. Tommie.'

Dowd. IF we don't give Uncle Nick
plenty of work this year back to the minors

Cross: You didn't know that Dowd has

What brand is he smoking when he has

I'm not kidding It's on the level cen

ball. He has something to fall back en-

Tommy Tucker and Billy Hoy of the
Louisvilles are not on the best OF terms,
though the enmity that existed year ago
is no longer as bitter. One night last year
Hoy supplied himself with a large six
shooter and went cunning for Tucker as
a result of an argument they had during the
game In the afternoon. 1t seems that
Tucker worked his old trick of sitting down
on Hoy when he tried to get back to first
base. The dummy went into a rage, and
though he cannot talk plainly, he gave
Tucker to understand what he thought of
him in manner that did not please the
big first baseman, who said few unkind
things back 10 Hoy. who understood all by
watching the movements .of his lips. That
night Hoy came down to the hotel with
large gun in his pocket looking for Tuck
er The mute not to be trified with
and some of the st. Lohis players wisely
kept Tucker out of sight; When the story
was told last night Ticker jokingly remark
since he has been married He is so much
more quiet.'-Cincinnad Tribune
