Weak Behind the Bat.

There Is no gansaying the fact that the
Senators are weak behind the bat under
the present conditions. Drill is one of the
cleverest youngsters in the business, but
he lacks the knowledge that goes with
experience and his work is handicapped
just much. The difference between Drill
and Donohue can be easily discerned and
when the latter comes around in good
shape he will be easily the more valua Bile
man. For the time being Drill will have
to do most of the catching, and as he Is
bright and quick to gather in the weak
points of the opposition batters his value
a year hence can hardly be estimated.
Tomorrow the much touted St Louis
club opens a series of four games with the
Senators and the contests should prove
unusually interesting. Upon the ST Louis
roster are Burkett. the champion batter
and great run getter; ex-senator Dick Pad
den at second: Emmet Heidrick. the center
fielder who vies with Delehanty as a long
hitter: Bobby Wallace, the clever little
shortstop. and big Andy" Anderson, the

Manager Osgood made trial Of his new
Kitson lights at the track last night and
is loud in praise Of them. There are fifty
of them suspended about the track and they
make the whole plant as light as day. The
particular advantage Of the light is that
each lamp is a unit and one lamp getting
out Of order does not affect any of the
others. It is a shaddowless lamp and its
rays are steady and the light mellow
When all the lights were turned on last
night the whole neighborhood Of the track
was lighted as bright as day. Manager
Osgood says he has yust twenty-five lamps
too many, or more than he actually needs

was more than sufficient light then. How
