"If you will take the trouble to look over

Mr.. Johnson, when that body comprised
twelve clubs, you will find that it had a

Carrick worked hard and deserved to win.
Detroit opens series of four games with
the Senators today.
With perfect fielding back of Carrick
there would have been nothing to it.
The Detroit players arrived in Washing
ton yesterday afternoon and took in the
game at American League Park.
Can any one recall the time when
Washington club defeated Baltimore four
straight games?
Players of the Oyler stripe have been
crowded into Washington for years, good
fielders but poor batters. This season the
Senators are a batting aggregation and
give exhibitions that please the fans"
It's wonderful how much the Baltimore
players value themselves. Talk to any of
them, Williams and McGinnity excepted,
ard they will try to impress you with the
fact that should they desert the American
League it will collapse.
Case Patten has come around all right
and will face the Tigers today. He would
have gone against the Orioles yesterday,
but Manager LOTUS decided to hold aim
until today.
George Ely gave another exhibition yes
terday of timely stick work that brought
runs over the plate and increased his pop
ularity with the crowd. George also made
a throw to first that sent several Orioles
over the plate.
Four triple plays have been made 81 far
In the major leagues-two by Baltimore
and one each by New York and Pittsbufg.
The Athletics have drawn 10000 persons
to thirty-two games this season, an average
of over 1000 a game. This does not look
much like white elephant condition.

Yesterdays National League Gam
National League Teams Standing.

1t was a very hilarious and self-satisfied
crowd that filed out of American League
Park last night. after the contest between
the Washington and Baltimore clubs. The
Senator's had Won their fourth straight
game, defeating the Orioles by the score
of 10 to .. and the extraordinary occurrence
had created unlimited enthusiasm among
the 1000 spectators. The game itself was
nothing to speak of. both pitchers being
hit hard and the fielding was full of blue
pencil marks. but all was forgotten when
William Clarke drove the ball over the
fence in the ninth inning. letting in the
one run necessary to win.
BY an unusual force of circumstances the
Baitimores tied the score in their last turn
at the bat through a home run of Bresne-
han and single by Howell. Howeil's hit
was a fierce drive along the ground and
Ryan allowed it to go through him. the
ball rolling to the fence and the batter by
good sprinting made the circuit of the bases.
The crowd was already fling out of the
grounds, when the hit was made. but the
tieing up of the score brought everybody
back with a rush to witness the grand
finale by the senatorial sluggers.
A Sensational Finish.
George Carey was the first man up and he
responded gamely with a line drive to left
that came within two feet OF clearing the
fence and settling matters right there and
then. The ball rebounded sharply that
George had to be content with one base.
This was enough for Captain Kelley. and
he sent Pitcher Shields to the bench and
called out the Iron Man." McCinuity. The
latter had hardly warmed up sufficiently
TO do himself justice and as consequence
he sent in a wild pitch that got away from

Carey scampering home with the winning
run and the game was over. Clarke only
gets credit for single. but for material
benefit 1t was worth a dozen.
1t is very seldom that d similar game
comes to the front There was very little,
if any, fielding that could be called bril-
liant. d foul catch by Oyler being about the
only noteworthy play, but bases on balls,
lucky bounds and errors cut such i'm

full until the very last. The dyed-in-the-

its many points will be discussed for some

Orioles missed the pairs stick work. Oyler
went to third. Kelley to first and Bresna-

proved very good in fielding. but it Is the
