Base Ball Notes.

1t was a splendid game and the Senators
won.
As a pitcher and batter, Mr.. Carrick is
strictly all right.
Delehanty played first in good style, but
his chances were easy.
What a sprinter that boy Jimmy Ryan
is He seemed to fly over the ground when
he made his remarkable catch yesterday.
Lee didn't have so much ground to cover
when he made his clever catch. but it
was splendid piece of nerve to bump into
the fence the way he did.
Mertes gave notice that he was going
to bunt the ball, but Callahan warned him
away from Coughlin and said he would
have to get it over the fence to keep Bill
from getting the ball.
That was quite nice little "bunt' of
KeiSterS in the seventh inning. The hit
was on a line toward center and nearly
tore the hands Off Patterson when he tried
to stop it.
The term "Old Reliable" has shifted from
Jim McGuires shoulders to that Of Fred
Ely, the christening being made yesterday
when the Senator's short stop drove in two
runs in the seventh inning with his time
ly hit.
Delehanty and Doyle had a soft collision
back of first trying for a popped fly, but
Jack said he thought he was running into
a sand bank and no harm was done.
Catcher Bill Clarke made his first wild
throw to second yesterday in many months.
After the game. Clarke said he had been
throwing so we'll that he thought he would
give Doyle some work to do. 1t was SO
wild that Jack simply gazed at the ball IS
it shot into center.
The Senators should play about thirteen
games their present trip and eight victo
RIGS will be a splendid showing. OF the
four eastern teams Washington is as good a
road horse as any.
Pay day for the Senators would have come
on Friday, but Manager LOTUS handed over
the money to the boys on Monday. This
doesn't look as though the local club need
ed money In years gone by the National
League would have paid these men when
they returned from the trip.
The Boston American League team has
played to over 100000 people this season.
Dave Fultz says he has no intention of
quitting the Athletics, as his treatment by
Connie Mack has been of the best.
The Boston Americans have played more
games than any major league club. They
have but one postponed game to play on
If that Baltimore Club gets wrecked
again, it will break into the first division
and stay there.
Lajoie made but one hit in the three
games in Washington. The pitchers In that
city are certainly all rght-Boston Herald.
No games are scheduled in the American
League today, as all of the teams are trav-
cling west to take up the campaign or the
east against the west.
Since his release by Cincinnati Jack Dobbs
has kept on playing fine bali. He has prov
ed that he possesses spunk and ambition.
Eleven hits, four runs and clean neiding
slate, with several sensational entries there
on Is the sort of credit he has put up
since he was handed his release in st. Louis
ten days ago.
Ban johnson says: 81 don't know whether
Mr.. Dreyfuss is anxious to ts!n the Ameri-
can League, but know he is gentleman,
and We could find room for him in our or
ganization should he care to come In. But
as vet nothing has been done in the matter.
Mr.. Dreyfus is mixed up with bad COM
bination and l should not be surprised If
he is anxious to break away from that
bunch
The way the American race looks to most,
people is that six of the clubs are pennant
possibilities while Baltimore and Detroit
are eligible for first division honors. Chi
cago's reverses have intensified the race.
Boston's coming again and st. Louis fall
have made positions in the front division
most unstable. Washington's get-together
and Cleveland's bold dash have made race
the like of which has never been witnessed.
One day during his brief career as a
sublet capitalist at Columbus-sublet by
Brooklyn-Eddy Wheeler made six errors in
thirteen chances at short but he didn't win
the belt. Ned Hanlon has worn that for
years He earned it while he was one of
was before mule cars were out of fashion
s.Hanlon went to short one day to help me
out" said Banny. "and although only six
grounders were driven into his territory he
managed to turn out seven errors. How
did he do It? Well, he followed the fum-
BILE of one chance by throwing the bali
away."-Cincinnau Enquirer.
Jimmy Collins and Chick Stahl showed
their loyalty to the American League when
