How tile Game Went.

The Senators had an easy time with
the nine stars" from the Departmental
League at American League park yes
terday. The minor leaguers we're never
in the running at any stage of the game.
In the fourth inning they managed to
get one man over the rubber. and that
was the extent of the damage they did
to the home plate. The Senators pound
ed out eight runs of Wahler.
Although the department workers were
beaten, they put up fair exhibition.
considering the fact that they were away
on. of their class. Waller. who does
the box work for the Interior team. was
pitted against Stanlev al the beginning
of the game He did excellent work.
but his support was the worst ever.
He held the strong Senatorial tribe down
to nine hits.
Many Grievous Errors.
venable at short stop distinguished
himself by making two of the worst err
rors Of the afternoon. while the brace
Of miscues made by Shorty" Hughes
were almost equally as bad. Powers,
who played first base and left field. also
contributed one black mark to the last
column. All In all. the department men
did not put up anything like the game
they should have played. They all
seemed to be suffering from stage fright.
Seven OF their number were famed out
by the Senators twirlers. They have
stacked up against pitchers as good as
Stanley and Lee. and have laced the
leather out for two and three bags, but
because they we're playing professional
tribe they lost their courage and failed
to do anything but fan out.
Charlie King was the boy who did the
swatting for his team. Although the
professional men twisted themselves out
OF shape, and sent the sphere hurtling
through the air toward home plate,
Charlie stepped out brayely and smash
ed 1t down into the field and made his
base on two occasions. He secured two
of the safe hits credited to his team.
Colliflower was the next in line. He
secured two bagger. and when he sent
tie sphere whizzing into the feld Char
lie King romped home with the only run
made by his team. wahler and Powers
were also lucky and got safe hit each.
The others could not fathom the deliv-
cries of the Senatorial twirlers.
Senators Line-Up Altered.
The Senator'S did not line up as they
did when a league team was pitted
against them. Coughlin played right
field. after being out of the game since |
the Senators returned from Philadelphia |
last week. Stanley was put ON the rub
ber. and pitched for five innings. He |
struck out five men and gave two free |
passes to first. Lee then went In and !
1wirled couple of innings. He struck |
OFT two men. At the end of the seventh |
inning he retired and gave Patten |
turn in the box. Patten gave base on |
balls, and allowed one hit, but the de-
partment lads could not score.
Col. Bill Clarke did the receiving for
his team, and he put up just as yellow
game as did his friends in the De-
partmental League. He had two passed
balls. both of which allowed runners to
advance base.
Rapp did not catch his usual good |
game He had three passed balls.
At the conclusion of the game a num-
Der OF the local players were presented
with tokens of the esteem in which the
local fans held them. Stick pins and
umbrellas were the chief presents. The
score:
