The game Saturday afternoon at Ameri-
can League Park between the Senators and
Detroits was a snappy sort of affair, the
locals hitting the ball at the right time
and winning out by the score of 6 to q
Notwithstanding the disastrous defeat of
Friday there was a good-sized crowd on
hand and everything was forgotten over the
good showing of the Washingtons.
Mr.. Case Patten was on the rubber for
the Senators and this clever lad was on his
mettle, the Tigers being moved down In
regular order in a majority II the innings.
But six hits, widely scattered, was all that
Detroit could do, and in addition Patten
fielded his position nicely.
Back of Patten the Senate played we'll
although Doyle, Ely and Drill made mis-
plays. Everybody appeared to want to do
his best, and a result many fast plays
were pulled off. Bill Coughlin was the star
of the game, eliminating Patten. Scranton
BilI' fielded his position in good style, but
at the bat and on the bases he was see at
his best He slammed out two hard singles
and in quick succession stole second and
third base. Coughln has been treated
royalty by President Postal anG Manager
LOTUS and he Is doing his best to show his
appreciation. Another player who has been
in the dumps for the past week or more,
Jack Doyle, also shone forth with unusual
brilliancy. capturing thirteen out of four
teen chances and stole a base by big
slide. Lew Drill was behind the bat, and
In addition to catching well with a badly
burised hand, batted out double and a sin
gle. Drill certainly has plenty of sand"
and by next season should be one of the
best catchers in the business.
A young man by the name of Mccarthy
pitched his first game in Washington for
Detroit, and, all things considered did well
He started off with slow ball, and, grad
ually warming up, was shooting them over
quite speedy toward the end. The slow
curve fooled Delehanty, and the slugger
had to go through the game without a hit
something remarkable for him of late.
The ex-Georgetown lad, Dick Harley, got
in an argument with Umpire Carruthers in
the first inning, and as result was put off
the field, Pitcher Yeager taking his place.
The Senators got away from the start in
good shape, hanging up run. Doyle
negotiated base on balls, Lee sacrificed
him to second, passed ball showed Jack
to third and he scored on Delehantys long
fly and out to right.
The Detroits were blanked for four in
n1ngs, but in the fifth they made one run
and tied the score. Pitcher Mccarthy was
the first batter and he retired on strikes
Yeager then waltzed to the front with a
long drive to left center, good for three
bases. While Doyle and Carey were put
tnS out ElDerreld, 1eager scored.
This run was taken right back in the
sixth inning by the Senators, and once
more they had the lead. Keister started
off with fly to Yeager, but Coughlin
bunted cleverly and was safe. A moment
later he stole second went to third on
Ely's out and home on George Carey's safe
drive.
In the eighth the Senators got very busy
and clinched the game by making four
runs. Coughlin again started trouble with
a clever bunt, Ely's sacrifice sent him to
second and he stole third, notwithstanding
McAllster's good throw. Carey made his
second single into right, scoring Coughlin
Drill then singled, sending Carey to third
Patten hit to Elberfeld and Carey was put
out on the home line, Drill taking third
and Patten second while the play was be-
ing completed. Doyle negotiated base on
balls, but Wyatt Lee tore off double into
left field and all the runners chased home
In the ninth inning matters looked blue
for the Senators for a short time, but Pat
ten put on steam and allowed the Tigers
but one run. Barrett and Holmes started
off with singles, but Beck forced Holmes
at second, the first named scoring Gleason
got a pass, but was forced at second on
| McAllisters hit to Coughlin. Ex-senator
James Mcguire took McCarthy's place at
the bat and was given a splendid reception
He was rewarded with pass. Yeager then
came up, but the best he could do was a
grounder to Ely, which the latter passed
cleanly to Carey, and the game was over
Following is the official score:
