Carey Gathers Them In.


cvadinG Carey by about four feet. and
continued joyfully on its way toward
bleacherdom. AS soon as Shoch and Hal
ligan saw Wolverton throw the leather
they both started a stampede for The
home plate. Shoch reached the coveted
goal on the throw to first, and Haliigan
scored on the overthrow.
In the meantime Cupid Childs vas
waddling down the second base line with
all the speed that could be derived from
his stocky little underpinning. AS soon as
the ball had passed Carey. Ryan started
in pursuit. and quickly gathering in the
elusive sphere, lined it TO Carey. who re-
tired Childs at the middle sack with a
snap throw to Coughiin.
With the exception of this error, the
fielding of the Senators was extremely
good. Carey. Coughlin, and Ely divided
a total of thirty chances among them,
all of which were accepted without an
error. The work of Scoops on the
initial sack approached the sensational.
He gathered in all sorts of throws. and
twice saved CouGhlin from accommodating
errors by stretching that long mitt of his
and dragging down sliyscrapers.
Batting Rally Continued.
There is no doubt about it that if
Coughln can continue to put up during
the remainder of the season the same
high class article of ball that has re-
warded his endeavors IN the Jersey City
series. he will become one of the fastest
second basemen in either league. He
seemed able to cover square miles of ter
ritoTy. and they can come neither too fast
nor too slow for him.
While the hitting of the Senator's was
not of the cannonading style that distin-
guished the game of the day before, still
they landed upon the leather with force
and precision. Between them they sue
ceeded in touching up the opposing twirl-
ers for total of sixteen safe ones
Phamiller, who was the first slab artist
to appear upon the scene, had his deliv-
cry touched up nine times in the four in
nings that he served them up to the local
bunch.
Scattered through this number were a
home run and three doubles. Phamiller
was succeeded by Stevenson, who finished
out the game He was in the box for
four innings. and was touched up for a
home run and six singles. The Senators.
however. were only able to tally three
time. while Stevenson occupied the de-
livery end of the battery.
Gates Behind the Bat.
The two long hits of the game were do
mated by Ryan and Coughlin. The former
has been doing quite a little lusty stick
work since donning q Washington uni
form, but yesterday he exceeded all his
previous records by walloping the leather
every time that he came to bat. His
days work netted a home run. which re-
suited from smacking the leather over the
left field fence; two doubles. and a single
To show there was 10 hard feeling he also
pilfered the second station.
AS the Senator's are still without a
catcher and as Clark. who was loaned by
Manager Reilly the day before begged
off from being bombarded the second time
by the salary wings of the Senatorial
twirlers. Manager Lotus secured the SER
vices OF local boy named Gates. The |
lad is ambitious for baseball honors and
has been signed by Utica. of the New
York State League II the exhibition
put up by Gates yesterday can be taken
as an average of his usual exhibition be- |
hind the bat there is no doubt but what
he will prove too fast for minor company |
1t seems all that is necessary is for
Manager Lotus to try out man as |
backstop in order to develop n slugger |
So far every man that has taken his po- |
sition at the receiving end of the Sena- |
torial battery has upon the slightest prov |
ocation, and sometimes without even THY |
excuse, proceeded to line them out for !
