SENATORS DOWN
NEW JERSEYITES

ers were practically certain that Mac had
secured a safe one. They had not reckon
ed. however. upon COughlin's activity. II
seemed as though he was in Iotion almost
as soon as the bat touched the horsehide
and by magnificent run OF several yards
he managed to make difficult one handed
stop. and turning quickly. succeeded in
throwing out the runner.
After having heard so much regarding
the ability OF the great Delehanty. the
local rooter is extremely liable 20 expect
too much from the big fellow. There Is
no doubt about it that Delehanty can and
will hit the leather. and hit il hard and
safe. II is too much to expect, however.
that every time he faces the pitcher a
, hoEe run, or even Il single. will be forth
/ coming.
Every man is subject to his "oT day
and Dele hanty Is no more exempt than
any other human being. There may be
days when he will not secure even a sin
gle but from the way he landed on the
! horsehide yesterday. these occasions Will
be the exception. rather than the rule He
is a slugger and the fielders know it. They
play back against the fence when his turn
at the bat comes round. and it has TO be
a well placed wailop before it makes good.
q
man who knows the game as well as the
next one. He has been at 1t several years
ard there are few able to give him point
ers. Jimmie Ryan is good fielder, good
all round ball player and he demonstrated
yesterday that his slUgging ability is not
TO he sncezed at. The first two times he
came to bat and ne occupies the posi-
tion of honor upon the batting list, he
made good with singles.
Senator's Individual Work.
Little Billie Keister. who was secured
last fall from the McGraw Orioles, and
who this year oficiates in the Senator'S
centre field. was rather handicapped.
Several days ago he received an ugly clip
upon the finger by batted ball, which
put that member out of business and the
sore has not entirely healed. For this
reason Keister was rather inclined to
favor the injured hand. and consequently
his batting was not what it will be when
he is whole and sound.
Orth, late of Col. John l. Rogers
Quaker bunch was the first Senatorial
twirler to oprcse the craft of his salary
wing against the batting ability of the
Jerseyites. He officiated in the box for
three innings, during which time his op-
ponents pounded out five singles. but only
secured two runs. The eX-Philadelphian
is a great, big. good-natured lad. who
wears a perpetual grin while he remains
on the rubber. This is extremely aggra-
waiting to the opposing batsmen, who
usually imagine that Orth is laughing in
his sleeve at their nerve in attempting
to hit the ones he slings over.
Patten. who followed. was a member of
the Senators last year. He is tall. lanky
southpaw, with an immense amount of
steam in his delivery. He was on the slab
for three innings anc although the Jersey
City aggregation could secure but one hit
base on balls and an error by Carey
contributed vastly toward the two tallies
accumulated by the visitors.
Score Tied by Jerseyites.
When Patten was allowed to retire to
the bench Lee, also left-hander. was
substituted. In the first inning that he
officiatet he alternated between allowing
the Jerseyite to secure singles and strik-
ing them out In his second inning he hit
two men, but still mana ged to successful
ly wiggle out and not a run crossed the
plate.
The first runs OF the game were secured
by the Senators. Ryan led off Vth
single, was passed to third by keTlogg's
| error, that gave keister the initial sack
| Wolverton landed on the ball for a hit
| along the first base line that scored Ry-
ar and advanced Keister to the third
sack. Delehsaty forced Wolverton at sec
ond, but Coughlin found a single that
scored Keister. The Senators were then
/ sent to the field.
/ 1t was in the second inning that the
Jerseyites fell foul OF Orth's delivery and
succeeded in tieing the score McManus
! found a single to right. Kellogg was pre-
! sented with the initial sack. and Wood S
/ two bagger to deep left scored them
I both. This damage was done after two
I men were out, and Shoch retired the side.
| The visitors were the first to break the
tie. In the fourth inning McManus was
again the originator of the Senatorial
troubles. He drew a base on Careys err
ror, that advanced COnnors, who had
walked previously, 10 second. kellow hit
to Patten. and Connors was retired at
third McManus went TO second on the
play It was again up to Woods to win
his own game. and he came to the front
with another long drive that netted two
bags. scoring McManus and Kellogg.
In the following inning, however. the
Senators began to do business with the
hit column. and the score was soon again
tied Wolverton made his second hit Of

center for two bags. 1t was then Dele
hanty's turn to do things for his country
After his bat, which resembles a small
telegraph pole had connected with the
second ball pitched over the plate. there
was, indeed, something doing. After the
fog of battle had lifted it was found that
Wolverton and Delehanty had both
scored, while the horsehide was still num-
bered among the missing
In the following inning. the sixth. the
collegian catcher won the game for the
Senators. Ely, who does some wonderful
stunts in the neighborhood of the short
field for the local aggregation. but who
is rated as a weak hitter, opened the bail
by hammering the leather along the first
base line for two times. 1t was then that
Drill made his sensational hit and planted
the horsehide in the center of the small
lake that lies placidly on 'tother side
of the left field barrier.
