Base Ball Notes.
The Senators are in the aristocratic so
ciety of the first division once more.
Jack Farrell was certainly the hero of
yesterdays game, his triple being of the
glorious sort, as it scored three runs
Patten went right after Lajoie and made
the big fellow hit the ball. He finally per
suaded Larry to hit one up in the air SO
Clarke could squeeze it. Lajoies record
was fair-a triple. a double and two singles
was what he did yesterday
Wyatt Lee will probably pitch against the
Athletics in Philadelphia this afternoon
form so that Gear could be kept in the field

Umpire Sheridan's work since he has been
at American Park has been first-class in
every particular, and his exhibitions will

their work Is bound to be satisfactory
Protests will rattle the arbitrators inst

possibility.

Ihere has been a. warm contest for the
services Of Outfielder Mcintyre of the Au-
gusta club. Connie Mack wanted him for
the Athletics; Selee wanted him for the
Bostons: Jimmy Canavan was after him

oner for him than Mack, but the latter
captured him. and the player left for Phila-
delphia yesterday. @

while only nine were marked against him
