The Senators had a great leader yester-
day in Case Patten and the contest with
the Clevelands amounted almost to rout,
the score being to 1 in the locals favor
Mr.. Patten was feeling unusually good and
contrary to his usual custom went through
the entire game without one bad inning.
He generally gets off badly, but if he starts
all right the opposition batters might just
as well throw up their hands and start a
new game. Yesterday Patten had all his
speed; he was almost too fast in fact, as
he sent six Spiders to first on balls, but
the batters who faced him We're guessing
all the time.
Back of Patten the Senators played up
to their reputation. only error being
scored against them. while at the bat they
trimmed Mr.. Earl Moore about as closely
as he has been this season. This young man
carries q reputation of being one of the
best twirlers in the business and for three
innings it looked though he was going
to hang another scalp to his belt. as the
Nashingtons could not get their binsles to-
sether. In the second inning Ely made a
hit with two out. but died on the bases as
Clarke flied out to center. In the third
Ryan laced out a beautiful triple with one
out but the next two men failed to connect
and the hit was thrown away. This sort
OF work cast a gloom of discoura cement
over the spectators, but in the fourth the
Spiders handed a run to the Senators on a
silver platter.
The Clevelands took their first turn at
the bat in this inning and for few min
utes held the lead they scored a run.
Hemphill, the first man up, went out VOL
verton to Carey, but Flick got SAT hit
into right as Coughln ran out too far and
lnterfered with keister. With good coach
ing keister would have taken the fly east
~. W God followed with a tremendous fly
to center which Ryan just managed to get

bail rolling to the fence, and Flick scored.
After Bonner had fouled out to Clarke
Bradley was given a base on balls, but
GOchnaUer rolled an easy one to Carey and
the inning was ended.
Get that run back" was the cry from
the bleachers. and the yells must have dis
concerted Second Baseman Bonner, as he
fumbled kelster's grounder and then threw
badly to first, the Senator going to second
on the error. CoughIin went out, second
to first, and Feister took third. Carey was
passed up on balls. and as Ely was put out
by Bonner and Wood. Keister raced home
This tied the score and the spectators gave
out yell OF delight.
Serious for Mr.. Moore
The serious business for Mr.. Moore start
ed in the sixth inning, and continued for
the remainder of the game. After Cough
lin had flied out to Hemphill, Carey got a
clean single into left, but Ely went out on
a fly to Pickering Mr.. William Clarke
then concluded it was about time for him to
do some batting work and slammed a hit
to the right-feid fence, scoring Carey. Not
to be outdone. Case Patten hit a slow one
TO Bradley and the latter took his time
getting the ball the batter got over the
initial corner before the sphere reached
Wood. Ryan then hit liner into center
and Bill Clarke by good Sprinting, raced
all the way home. Patten had worked
around to third. and on the old bluff of
throwing to second he was caught off third
and run down at the plate
In the seventh the hitting continued and
two more runs were hung up by the Sena-
tors. WolvertOn hit fly Into left center,
but Pickering sprinted over and gobbled 1t
up. Delehanty then laced out screamer
to right that bumped against the club
house, and when the ball was returned he
| beat the throw to the home plate scoring
home run. Keister followed with a safe
one INTO right and went to second on a
passed ball. Coughlin's best was fly to
| left. but Carey hammered an outshoot
against the rght-feld fence for two bases
and Keister scored.
Clarke Opens With a Double.
In the eighth another pair of runs were
placed to the Senator's credit, Clarke start
ing of with rafting double to the left
field fence. Patten did his best to sacrifice.
but struck out Ryan continued his good
days work by making his third hit oP the
game, scoring Clarke once more and taking
second himself on the throw-n. Wolverton
concluded he wouldn't be left out of the
days batting and got a safe one into GEN.
