Notwithstanding the poor showing of late
by the Washington club, fully 1900 spec
tators turned out yesterday to witness the
game between the Senators and Detroits.
Another defeat had to be chalked up
against the Washingtons, Detroit winning

Two of WaShingtons cleverest players
broke into the error column yesterday, and
as the misplays were mixed up with the
hitting, enough runs were sent over the
plate by the visitors to win the game.
Waldron and Farrell were the erring ones,
the former making costly wild throw and
letting a roller get by him, while the lat
ter permitted easy drive to pass be-
tween his hands and legs. These two men
have been playing exceptionally good ball
for Manager Manning, and that Waldron
should fall down yesterday at a critical
time can only be charged to the old ex-
cuse, hard luck Farrelrs error was not
costly.
Outside of these errors the Senators ap-
peared to play stupid ball at times on the
bases and while 1T the bat. In the third
inning Farrell hit a beauty to left field
which was good Cor two bases. Yeager
then hit Grady with pitched ball. Here
We're two men on bases, with no one out
and run looked likely, but Grady and
Clarke got mixed on the hit and run sig
mails, with the result that Mike dashed for
second and forced Farrell out at third In
several innings, while the Senators were
at the bat. Yeager gave indica tons of be-
ing wild, dshing out passes to first quite
freely, but the Washington batters wouldn't
wait for developments. They generally hit
at the first ball pitched, with the result
that many runners were left expiring on
the bases.
The Tigers also Grifted into stupid play
ing, out luck was with them as usual, and
no runs resulted. Big Dillon had a run
ner out at first on pretty assist from
Casey, but he pulled his foot off the bag
before the ball got to him and the batter
was safe. AT another time a ball was
DATED to Casey, with a Senator on first
and second. Instead of running to third
and getting the man nearest home the
little fellow hesitated and then threw to
second, putting out the runner from first.
rms placed a man on third and one on
first, but the hit that was longed for never
came and a cipher was hung up for the
home team.
The Senators began to score in the first
inning and from the way the ball was hit

Senators knocked off for the day in the
run-getting business, eight disheartening
ciphers being hung up against them for
the remaining innings.
Detroit didn't get down to work until the
third inning. Then the Tigers sailed In

eighth they concluded to go to work again
Elberfeld was given a nasty blow on the
arm by one of Lees inshoots, and Nance

drive to left and Elberfeld crossed the
