the fishing this year has not been good as

The Senators have four games to play with

they have until Monday night to get them

Manager Lotus. The Athletics had sched-
uled benefit game at home for Monday
afternoon and it is expected that every seat
in the grand stand and bleachers will be
sold before the game starts. All this money
is to be given to the members of the Ath-

his team at noon today, there was consid-
cradle anxiety among the party as the Ath-
letics' manager said that 1t all depended
upon Manager Lotus as to whether the
Quakers would have to stay over and play
here Monday. The two managers held a
long consultation and at its conclusion,
Manager Mack, with joyous face, an
nounced that Manager Lotus had consent
ed to cancel the games that would be left
over by finishing the season in this city to-
morrow, that the Athletics could play
their benefit game in Philadelphia Monday.
This concession is a big one on Manager
LOTUS part as he will lose considerable
money through the cancellation Of the
games
After the consultation Manager Lotus
said:
THE players of the Athletic club have
been true to the American League. and by
playing good ball helped materially to make
a prosperous season for everybody They
are entitled to a reward. and the money
lose by not playing with them Monday can
be considered a contribution from me. The
Washington club cannot better its position
by winning both of the games should we
play Monday, and the Athletic are sure of
first place: therefore | believe l am acting
only justly in canceling the games"
When Manager Mack notified the players
that Manager LOTUS had consented to can
eel the games they We're all loud in their
praise of the Washington manager.
Yesterdays rain knocked out the game
scheduled with the Bost0ns, and the hub
team left for Baltimore this morning. No
game will be played today. as the grounds
have received such soaking that the play
ing would be farcical on the muddy field.
Tomorrow two games will be played with
the Athletics, the first game starting at
clock and a good attendance will prob
ably be on hand. as the pennant winners
have many friends in this city, and all the
fans want to look them over for the last
time this season.
