League pay roll. was the opposing slab
artist, although Coughlin was uncharita-
BILE enough to remark after the third hit
had been chalked up to his credit that
he was more of slob artist than any
thing else.
Ryan was the only Senator who failed TO
get base hit. Coughlin led the hitting.
with trio of bingles. Two OF these were
doubles. Keister. Delehanty, Wolverton.
and Ely each landed brace of hits. while
Drill nailed beautiful hit out to LEFT and
! later on hunted to Collins and beat :he
ball out to first.
New Senators Sized Up.
The majority OF the crowd yesterday
I afternoon sized up the Washingtons much
| in this fashion: A likely lot of ball toss
| ers, who can field with the best of them
and hit with most OF them; not an overly
lively aggregation, and not oyercharged
with tabasco. but faithful, hardworking
well meaning band of players. who will do
their level best to earn their fancy sal
aries.
Keister fielded we'll and the only chance
that came to Delehanty was fly in the
last inning. II had 4 white trailer 10 Il,
and Del. imagining perhaps that II was
.,
about TO side-step the proposition. when
he shot up his Zig mitt and nabbed the ball
after a short run. Wolverton handled
everything that came his way in good
style. and Ely did likewise. Coughlin had
plenty to do. End did it well. the error
credited to him being the result of his
anxiety to make a double play. Drill
caught cleverly. and threw to bases ac-
curately enough to throw a scare inc/he
visiting purloiners OF sacks.

The Game in Detail.
There was little doing in the first in
ming. Washington retired in one. two, |
three order, and while Boston succeeded |
in accommodating binglc nothing happen
ed in the run line. In the succeeding in |
Ming however. the Senators took unto |
themselves a sudden desire for run max |
ing, and there was trouble brewing for |
the Beaneaters.
Dineen, the Bostonian pitcher, was evil
IDENTIFY rather leery of mighty Dclehanty, |
as he accorded that gentleman free trans
portation. With Del on first. Couehlin fig
ured next on the batting list. He walloped |
the leather with the strength OF Her
cules. The nimble sphere bounded joyously |
toward the left field fence; Delehanty
sped around the circuit, and Coughin's |
two-bagger had planted the first run OF
the season where 1t would do the most
good.
Carey followed, and succeeded in
reaching first through the Kindness Of
Stahl. Ely then took a swipe at the leath-
er. but Parent gobbled II up and compleC-
ed a double play. The next Senator to
face Dineen's fusiiade was the former col,
legian, Drill. He lighted on the leather
with swat that is still echoing In the
northeast part of the city. A horsehide
