National League clubs Standing.

The Senators pulled themselves together
yesterday at Chicago, playing good ball In
both games, but were enabled to win only
one the first contest going to the White
Sox by the score of to 3, while the sec
ond was cleverly captured in the closing
innings by the Washingtons, to Z.
Willie Carrick was on the rubber for the
Washingtons in the first game and another
defeat had to be marked up against, him,
although his pitching was above the aver
age Carrick cannot blame his support
yesterday for his downfall, as the Chicagos
very cleverly punched their hits in the sec
ond and eighth innings and made enough
runs to win. Only two errors were made by
the Senator's, Mercer and Farrell being the
unlucky players. Opposed to Carrick on
the rubber was Roy Patterson and he did
good work until the sixth inning, when he
was chased to tall timber through the hard
hitting of DUNCAN, Clarke and Grady. Cal
lahan then relieved Patterson and the Sen
ators' scoring ceased at once.
That erratic southpaw, Case Patten. was
on the delivering line for Washington In
the second game. and after the first two In
nings his pitching was of the sensational
order Patten has been Unlucky with his
starts of late, the opposing batters general
ly getting all their hits in the first inning,
but he is lucky to get good support from
the f1elders and, as a result, he has come
to be WaShington's winning twirler.
In the first game neither side scored In
the initial inning, but the White Sox began
work In the second. A base on balls fell
to the lot of Mcfarland and Isbell fol-
lowed with single. Burke sacrificed clev-
erly, advancing both runners, and McFar-
land scored on Sullivan's single. Patterson
also singled and 1sbell scored.
In the third another tally was rung up
for Chicago as the result Of Hartman's
single, an error by Mercer, well-placed
bunt and fielder's choice.
The Senators made matters interesting IN
the sixth by tying the score with three
runs. After two men were out DUNCAN
sailed into the fray with a hard double to
right. Clarke Clipped in with single that
sent Sammy scooting over the plate, and
then Sir Michael Grady lambasted one of
Patterson's curves to the left-feld bleacher
seats and made the circuit of the bases.
was the Senator's dying effort, the Chi
cagos scoring another run In the eighth
and winning out by score of to g.
In the second game the Senators started
off quite clipper like, scoring three runs,
but the White Sox were just as gay and
chalked up five themselves. In the second
inning Chicago scored its sixth rum and
then both teams took a rest from scoring
for four innings. In the seventh the Sem
ators got two more, and In the eighth went
to the fore with another pair of runs. The
Chicagos were game to the last and tied
the score again In the same inning by get
ting solitary run over the plate. But the
Washingtons were out for blood and won
out in the ninth in the most game fashion.
Clarke was passed to first and Mr. Grady
once more hit the ball for keeps, Michael
resting up at third on the hit. While Fos-
ter was being put out at first Sir Michael
crossed the plate with the Senator's ninth
run. Patten settled down to business in
the Chicagos last turn at the bat and the
White Sox went out without a run being
placed to their credit.
Wiley Piatt pitched the first part of the
game, but Callahan had once more to take
up the running, as the Senators commenced
hitting the ball in the seventh.
