Notes of the Game.
hats off to William Carrick.

All hats off to William Carrick.
Mercer will probably pitch today.
Quinn's errors were the result of the soft
ground.
Mrs. Manning was the recipient of
handsome bunch of American beauties
from the architects of the new park.
The spectators knew everybody on the
field except Coughlin and Farrel and it
didn't take them long to warm up to the
youngsters.
The nearest approach in attendance to
yesterdays crowd was when 'Scrappy'
joyce started off so we'll with his Wagner
ite Senators.
The entire newspaper staff of Baltimore
accompanied the Orioles to this city and
everybody took the defeat good-naturedly.
The general verdict was that the Senator's
strong.
Several hundred late-comers, with ladies,
were turned away from the grounds, as
they did not relish sun bath and the
grand stand crowded.
Presidents johnson and Postal held quite
a reception after the game, the former re
ceiving congratulations on the splendid
start of his organization, while the latter
was welcomed to Washington and congrat
ulated upon the good team secured.
Those over-ZealouS fans who jeered
Quinn yesterday for his misplayS, should
remember that it was the veterans splen-
did hitting in Philadelphia last Friday that
won the game for the Senators.
Shortstop Keister received bad hurt in
practice. Almost the first ball hit took an
ugly bound and struck him full in the face,
cutting his lips and loosening several teeth.
1t didn't hurt his playing, however, as he
fielded sensationaly.
Strike out "Mugsy" McGraw hereafter 1t
is now Manager John. The popular little
third baseman has cut out all browbeat
ing tactics and his popularity will be in
creased tenfold. Off the field McGraw is
one of the most gentlemanly fellows i'm
aginable. His responsibilities have doubt
less brought about the change. 1t will be
good thing for the American League and
for base ball in general
Roger Bresnahan, the ex-senator, is with
the Orioles and will probably pitch one of
the games of the present series. Roger is
delighted with his new berth and says he
never met better men than Manager Nc
Graw and Captain Robinson.
Telegraph jim yesterday began his
twenty-tirst year of reporting base ball
games in this city for the Western Union
Telegraph Company, and he has become a
fan of the rabid order.
The new uniforms were generally ad-
mired, the colors black and white showing
off to good advantage against the Oriole
colors of the Baltimoreans
The new press box will not be ready for
several days. Yesterday the newspaper
crowd was accommodated in two boxes di-
rectly behind the catcher and under the
circumstances the facilities We're all that
could be asked for.
The handling Of the crowd by the street
railway company was quite satisfactory.
Cars were run as close together as possible
with safety and as a result everybody
reached home in good time.
The late corners were not to be denied a
sight of the game. Although every seat
was taken and every point of vantage oc-
cupied, necessity, that grand parent of
invention, came to the rescue. Under the
bleachers the carpenters had left scrap
lumber in abundance and before the game
started it had been thrown together in
marvellous fashion until a miniature grand
stand blossomed forth. 1t was constructed
on the cooperative plan. Every one
helped. even the policeman, and all shared
alike when the stand was completed Once
the frail structure gave way, but no one
