proceedings prevented Lajoie from playing
with the Athletics when Connie Mack's
team was here in the spring, and yesterday
was the big fellows first appearance of the
season. When he came to the bat for the
first time in the initial inning, Larry was
given an enthusiastic reception. the APP
plause continuing until he had DOTTED his
cap. But Lajoie was doomed not to shine
yesterday. He had been bathing at Allan
tic City for the past four days, with the re-
suit that the sun and water must have af-
failed to get hit and made an error that
prevented a double play. But there are
other days for Lajoie to shine.
A Great Game All Through.
AS to the game it was a great one from
start to finish. AT the beginning the Sena-
tors seemed to be overa wed by the repii-
tation of the Cievelands, but in a couple of
innings the locals pulled themselves togeth-

as the best. When it is considered that the
three games with st. Louis were excep-
tionally close and yesterdays also, it can
be seen that the Senators are simply NAV
ing hgh-class ball.
Ihat clever southpaw, Case Patten, was
on the rubber for the Senator's, and his
WORK was gilt-edged. At times he got into
hole and was also hit hard but taken all
together. his performance was of the best
Toward the close, when the spectators were
more interested in his work than at any
time during the afternoon. Patten worked
like a piece of machinery. and the result
was that the boys in blue went out in al
most one-two-three order
opposed to Patten on the rubber was
Earl Moore, the young man with a big rep
utation. but who has so far failed TO mset
expectations. Yesterday Mr.. Moore again
