American League Games Today.
National League Clubs Standing.

Ex-senator Winnie Mercer had sweet
revenge on the Washington club yesterday.
at Detroit, when he held the local sluggers
down to three hits, and the Tigers shut
them out by the score of to 0. No experts
have ever questioned Mr.. MERGERS ability
when the clever black-haired boy wanted to
work, and he must have felt all right yes
terday. 1t will be recalled that Mercer
also pitched star game against the Sena
tors in this city when Detroit opened its
first series here, but Patten did so much
better that the formers good twirling was
overlooked.
There is very pronounced belief among
base ball managers that a Ieft-handed
pitcher is hard to hit by south paw bat
tiers. For this reason Wyatt Lee was
brought into the box from right field yes
terday to serve against Detroit, AL. Orth
going into the outer garden. The Tigers de-
| cided to demonstrate to Manager Lotus
that all twirlers look similar to them, and
| banged Mr.. Lees curves hard enough to
| win. The Senators had only two errors
charged against them. both by KeiSter at
second, but neither amounted to anything
| in the run-scoring line. Lee had plenty Of
speed, and also control, but like all his late
performances. the harder he works, the
more numerous are the hits made by the
| opposing batsmen. His work in right field
| mas been so prolonged that 1t may have af-
| fected his ability pitcher, but it would
| have required almost record work yester-
| day for Lee to land his game in the face of
] MERGERS sensat ional work
After the Senator's had been retired in the
| first inning. the Detrcits scored their first
run. Holmes hit safely over second the
ball just escaping Coughlin's outstret ched
paw. Elberfeld then went out at first VOL
Verton to Carey, Holmes reached second on
the play. Dillon next bobbed up with a
timely single to right center and Holmes
crossed the plate.
Five blanks were served up to the Tigers
in as many innings. but in the lucky co
seventh Detroit chased three additional
runs over the plate.
Holmes once more began the trou-
bic with single near second base that
helster managed to get his hands on, but
not In time to put out the batter Mr.
Holmes appreciated the fact that his luck
was with him. and Immediately stole sec

Little Eiberfeld then sent liner into right

failed to ride up to his last years form.
At present he is in firstclass shape and
has promised his hackers that he will make
good the predictions made last season.
Leander was out the Coliseum track
this morning and bowling around at a
wonderful rate. He doubtless realizes that
all fooiShneSS must be cut out IL he wants
to get to the front in the racing game and

last gotten down to a business basis There
Is no question but that Leander follows the

quently gives flashes of great speed, but in
the past he appeared loggy and totally
minus the energetic movements so neceS-
sary in successful pace follower.
Gus. Lawson of Salt Lake City has also
ridden at the Coliseum and the clever little
man gave indications of being unusually
speedy. He is built very much on the order
Of the great French rider, Champion, and
his movements on the wheel very SINH
lar to that speedy boy. Lawson has the
grit to make a success of his work and as
he is in tip-top form his work tonight will
be watched with interest. Lawson was
also out on the track this morning. but con-
tented himself with a good warming up,
nothing hard AS both Lawson and Lean
der have decided to win tonight the chances
are good that the spectators will be on their
feet all the time the tfteen-mile event is
being run off.
In addition to the Lawson-Leander event.
there will be races for tandem motors and
also for single motors. AS these events de-
pend upon the nerve of the riders to let
their machines out to the last notch, 1t is
more than possible that several records may
go by the board. There has been developed
a big rivalry between the motor men at
the Coliseum, and there will be no loafing
at any stage of these races.
In the center of the ring will be found
unusual attractions in the shape of clever
athletes on the flying rings. acrobats and
tight wire performances on the stage. and
the har-rasing feat of 'Daredevil'' Schrey-
er in riding down the long chute and div
ing seventy-f1ve feet into three feet of wa
ter. While the feat Is marvellous and
sensational performance. the timid ones
need have no fear, as Mr. Schreyer has gone
through the performance over a thousand
times. and has never been hurt. The young
people will also find an extra attraction in
the handsome dancing pavilion from 10 till

ONLY THREE DAYS OFF.
Georgetown Rowed Four Miles Prac-
ticing for Saturdays Big Event.

A special from Poughkeepsie, N. Y, says
that with the intercollegiate boat races
now only three days distant the crews that
are entered are rapidly approaching that
stage of tension which is such a critical
period in the training for an athletic con-
test of this character. AS the critical mo-
ment draws nearer the lines Of crew disci-
piine are drawn tighter and tighter.
This was exemplified in the action of
Coach Hanlon in forcing the resignation Of
Captain Scott OF the freshman eight for
disobedience of orders. Hanlan told him
to stay In the cove, but the freshmen went
into deep water and rowed two miles from
the boathouse. The captains excuse that
he misunderstood orders, was not consid-
cred a good one and he was forced to re-
sign.
There never was q time in college rowing
when every crew was so on edge and when
the feeling Of uncertainty as to the probable
winner was 80 general Josh Ward, the old
! champion oarsman, voiced the opinion of
everybody when he said: This race will
not be decided by boat lengths. 1t will be q
matter OF feet and may be inches.
The river was trifie choppy last even
Ing, but not enough SO to interfere with the
practice ana every crew did some hard
work. Pennsylvania two eights and var
sity four went up to the head OF the course

CLOSE RACE EXPECTED.
Leander and Lawson in Fine Form for
Contest at Coliseum Tonight

Associate Managers Osgood and Kloster-
man have been trying all this season to get
cyclists together with nearly the same ratio
of speed so that close and exciting races
would follow. So far their efforts have
been without result in almost every in
stance one Of the contestants has ridden
rings around the other and the spectators
were chiefly entertained in watching the
great speed of the victor.
Tonight the Coliseum management have
matched George Leander against Gus Law
son In a flfteen-mile straightaway race and
If all predictions and claSsifications do not
fail. the contest should be an exceptionally
close one from start to finish. Leander
seems to have been unfortunate, more
into first class condit;. and as a result
he has been trailing In almost all his re-
cent events. Last fall it was predicted in
Chicago that Leander was the coming
