The Senators are not for you. Your daily

Out of the north last Wednesday came
an aggregation of balltossers; strong,
quick-witted disciples of the national
game They had downed the great, far
famed Orioles; they were going to do like
wise with the lesser famed Senators. Yes
,e-day afternoon the third game OF the
series went to the bad in one OF the most
glorious swatting carnivals ever held in
this bailiwick.
Senators Hit the Ball.
From the jump the Senators began to
do things to the leather. Close upon their
heels followed Collins gang. and although
the visitors touched up Col. Wyatt Lee
even more plentifully than the Senators
punished MIR. Dieninger & Co., still the
ones that count the most continued TO
pour across the plate in a steady stream
for the local bunch.
Early in the game wild BIZ Dineen,
seeking revenge for the drubbing that
was administered to him last Wednes-
day, appeared upon the scene. His bad
angel, however. was in the ascendant,
ani after one heart breaking inning, in
which Lotus tribe accumulated four
runs, he retired in favor of one Dieninger,
hailed far and wide as the find OF the
year.
IL would not be fo- the Senators to dis
pute the claim that he is the find OF the
year" They ound him early and often
in fact, they found him for a total of
twcnty-six bases, Including three home
runs. Manager Tom Lotus has even vol
unteered to go forth and search for an
other find for Jimmy Collins. There are
several more games with Boston before
the end Of the season. and the local man
asement would net like 10 see the Bean
VILE contingent run short of this va
rieiy.
Lee Touched Up.
Before the game Colonel Lee held a
heart to heart talk with a bosom friend.
He whispered ttat Collins team was just
about his size. and it was his private
opinion that they would not feel much
better Than the provorbial 80 cents along
abCut O'Clock. Although the Boston peo-
pie were not personally consulted upon
She subject. the Marccni of the baseball
world registered the valuation of the
Beanville crowd al twenty per, or
S2.59 for the lot.
The small-sized cyclone that tore across
the northeast section of the city yester-
day nearly placed the Senators TO the
bad. Old Boreas had heard that there
was a deal Of elugging on the tapis, and
he is not the one TO miss sport OF any
description. Down ne swept from his
place in the clouds, and not content with

He grabbed the high ones and swirled
them many yards from their original des-
tinations. He picked out the left field
fence as good thing, and at every OPP
portunity attempted to give the horsehide

This unexpected Interference accounts in
a measure for the large number of long
hits made by both teams.
Remarkable Game.
In more than one sense the game was 4
remarkable one. Lee was hit safely !
twelve times for total of thirty-one +
bases. yet Boston accumulated but seven I

where Washington has won a game Of this
nature. The pinch hitting has been left.
