The record of Dick Padden and Frank
Bonner up to date shows unusual meritori
Gus work Including yesterdays game,
Bonner has batting percentage of 3S7
and in the field, 300. Padden has batted

Manager Irwin has given out the infor-
ma ton that Jake Gettman has been farmed
to the Kansas City club of the Western
League 1t is to be hoped that Jake will
come again in the batting line and that he
can be quickly recalled in case of necessity
as, through his release, the Senators are

VIII some of the local fans who make
1t practice of keeping tab on the games
that have been played in past seasons by
the Senators away from home recall one
season in which a Washington club has
played five games and won four of them?
So far the trip has been one worthy of
great praise and should they lose all the
remaining games the Senator's record
would be remarkable from a Washington
standpoint.
There is not so much said about a west
ern club landing the pennant this season
as there was before the eastern clubs went
into the country of the setting sun. The
way the six western clubs have been tossed
in the air and trampled upon has taken
crimp in the championship aspirations of
more than one western city, Chicago not
excepted.
The Baltimore club, under the guiding
hands of that great pair of ball players,
McGraw and Robinson, has been cutting

Washington By winning at the beginning

Sheckard and is playing away ahead of it's
capabilities.

Senator, has been let go by that club to
make room for Harry Davis. There are
many Senators beng chased around in the
minor leagues these days.
President Ebbetts of the Brooklyn club
has been in Cleveland for few days, and
held conferences with President Wagner of
the Washington club and Manager Cross
of the Clevelands. 1t is said that he made
overtures for Second Baseman QUINN but
he failed to secure him. He also limited

There was quite a shakeup of the league
teams yesterday the result of the six
games played Brooklyn vanquished St.
Louis, and secured a tighter grip on the
lead, the Browns dropping eleven points in
percentage. Chicago was beaten by Wash
