Ine only consolation the Washington
fans got from the news that fioated In
from Chicago last night was the fact that
the Senators bad beginning may result in
a good finish, the champions having de-
feated the Loftustes by the score of IA
to Z.
A heavy downpour of rain knocked ont
the game scheduled for Saturday, but the
sun was out early yesterday, and as a re-
suit fully 1900 persons crowded into the
park to see the first game of the season in
the windy city between the two teams. Bad
luck came to the front for the Senators in
the very first inning, when Coughin, who
was at the bat, struck at a ball and il re-
bounded from his club to his knee. knock
ing him down. 1t was thought at first
that the injury was only slight, but the
oru1se was such that Coughlin had to limp
to the bench and retire from the game,
Drill taking his place. Coughlin's work at
snort has been nothing if not sensational
and his withdrawal handicapped the team
most lamentably. Drill went to short and
did his best, but appearing before 1900

hardest, and as the champions slugged the

lieved, was effective and saved the day for
the champions.
Wyatt Lee and Jimmy Ryan did the best
batting for the Senators, the former get

credit, one of them being a double while
Danny Green had four. one triple The
