National League Clubs, Standing.

Yesterdays game at American Park be-
tween the Washington and Detroit clubs
was short and sweet, only five innings be-
ing played and the score standing at to
/ in favor of the Senators.
The Detroiters got tied up somewhere
around New York on their way to this
city from Boston, and as a result did not
get to the grounds and start the game until
nearly 5 o'clock. AS soon as the bus
dashed into the inclosure, the Tigers made
run for the Senator's club house and
their playing togs were donned in quick or
der. 1t was so late then that the visitors
were not allowed to timber up, but went
direct from the club house to the plate.
The double defeat administered to the
Senators Monday doubtless threw a wet
blanket over the enthusiasm of the local
fans and but thousand of the faithful
were on hand to cheer on the Meaningless.
The Detroits have acquitted themselves
splendidly on this trip and they doubtless
looked for an additional victory yesterday
But the Senators had completely recovered
from the trance of Monday, and, led on
by Pitcher William Carrick simply played
rings around the Tigers from start to fin
1sh. Gradys drop of a thrown ball and
Clarke's throw to second when the bag
was not covered were the only two mis-
plays charged against the home team and
both were of the excusable sort. Cronin
slipped up twice in fielding for the Tigers,
and Elberfeld is charged with hard-luck
error as Clarke pushed Shaw out of the
way so that the catcher couldn't get his
throw home. About the only two sensa-
tional plays of the game were stops by
Clingman and Elberfeld, the outs as a rule
being of the easy sort
After Detroit had been retired in the first
inning, the Senators scored one run. Two
were out when DUNCAN was given base
on balls and singles by Clarke and Grady
drove big Sam over the plate.
Detroit scored it's only one in the second
inning. Dillon singled over second and
moved up base Shaw's sacrifice. Gro
min followed with triple to the center
held fence and Dillon scored. Foxy Bill
Coughlin then concealed the ball under his
arm, and as Cronin stepped off the bag he
was touched out amid the deriSive yells of
the spectators. Elberfeld was on the coach
ing line and was responsible for the play,
as Cronin had slid into the bag and en-
tirely lost sight of the ball. The talk that
Passed between the other Detroit players
and the little shortstop was of the peppery
sort for a few minutes.
In the third the Washngtons hung up two
more runs, and once more they were made
after two were out. Waldron had walked
and been forced by Farrell, and the latter
was also caught at the same sack through
Dungan's pop fly which looked as though
1t would be caught Once more Clarke
singled to center, sending DUNCAN to sec
ond and on Grady's single to right Sam
scored and the first named landed on third
Grady started on bluff steal of second
and on the throw down and return Clarke
beat the ball to the plate, getting in the
way of Shaw so that the latter couldn't
field the ball.
Neither side scored in the fourth but In
the fifth the Senators scored their fourth
and last run. DUNCAN started off with a
single to left. and went to second as
Clarke was being put out at first, Cronin
to Dillon. After Grady had flied out to
Nance, Gear whipped timely single into
right and DUNCAN came all the way home
Umpire Hart then called the game on ac-
count of darkness and everybody was salts
fled. Score.
