National League Teams Standing.

The third game of the SERIES played Sat
urday afternoon, between the Washington
and the Chicago clubs went to the credit
OF the latter by the score of to l. The
contest was listless sort of an exhibition
the players Of both teams going about their
work as though they were day laborers
and this same spirit seemed to infect the
spectators, with the result that there was
very little enthusiasm shown. The fact that
the senators were trailing the champions
from the start may have had something to
do with the listiess disposition of the spec
tators. but it was so marked as to attract
the attention of the players.
The Chicagos have come to WASHINGTON
with the reputation Of being the best team
in the American League, and the local
fans had about made up their minds that
the Senators were lucky to secure one vic
tory With the poor start secured by the
senators defeat seemed assured and the
onlookers refused to grow enthusiastic over
one or two bright spots that bobbed up here
and there during the game.
Strang's Triple.
Townsend was on the rubber for the Sen
aters, and opposed to him was a Mr.. Pat
terson, he of the silver locks One of the
players told Townsend that Strang couldn't
hit curve, and result of this misinfor-
iiidtioh Sammy smashed a liner to the club
mouse Tor three bases on his first turn at
the bat. After that Mr. Strang had TO he
content with swift Straights, and as re-
suit his batting matinee was over for the
day. IL the hrst inning could have been cut
out IoWnSend's work would be claSsed as
hrst-class, but the Chicagos' start in that
inning was enough to win the game.
Patterson also was bumped hard in the
hrst inning by the Senators, but the results
were not so cumulative, but one lone tally
going down to Washington's credit After
that the clever white-haired boy kept the
Senators hits scattered, and no more runs
were scored.
The weather was ideal, the sun keeping
under the clouds all afternoon, and a pleas
ant breeze made matters comfortable for
the crowd in the bleacher seats The out
nelders We're thankful for the bashfulness
oil Ola sol. and no high flies We're dropped
as IN Fridays game, account of his
shining face binding their view
Auspicious for Chicago.
The game opened most auspiciously for
Chicago, Strang lacing a liner to right for
three bases and Jones singled to left, the
former, of course, racing home Green
looked dangerous, and was passed I'D by
townsend George Davis followed with a
safe ount in front of the plate and beat out
Townsend's throw filling the bases ..San-
dow Mertes followed with a line drive to
the center-held fence. Jones and Green
scoring. Isbell hit a grounder to Keister
ana went out at first. Carey made a bluff
throw to second and by a quick turn caught
Davis off third. Wolverton then passed the
pan to Clarke and George went out. Daily
closed the inning with fly to Ryan
Inc senators did all their scoring in the
nrst inning, lonely tally being chalked up
AFTER two were out. Delehanty, Keister and
COughlln tore off nice singles in turn the

left Eight ciphers went up for the Sena-
tors in regular order thereafter

by the Chlcagos until the eighth inning was
reached. Davis opened this inning with a
grounder to keister, and as Billy had
sore finger, he obigingly fumbled the ball.
Mertes then flied out to Carey, but once
more little Keister fumbled Isbell's ground
er. Townsend sort of weakened under this
weird support and Tom. Daily laced a sim
gle to left, sending Davis over the plate
IN the last turn at the bat for Washing
