ators are what are commonly known as

trile toward the idea that they would
waliop Tom LOTUS family, if not with
ease. at least beyond all doubt.
Well, so they may. but il was not on
the cards for yesterday. Newark will be
accorded two more stabs at the Senators,
and while they may possibly whip the
representatives of the National Capital.
this result is extremely unlikely if the
exhibition OF the national game yesterday
is a criterion of their best efforts.
The Senators learned severe lesson
last Saturday and did not daily long with
the gentlemen from Newark. From the
first inning they demonstrated that they
were out for blood, and there was no
trifiing done until after the fourth inning
The Senators had then secured a lead of
sixteen runs, and considering themselves
on Easy Street gave the visitors more OF
4 show for their white alley
Newark Lacks Something.
AS far as circumstances would permit
the part played in yesterdays game by
the Senators was all that could be de-
sired. They pounded the ball freely and
forcibly; they felded we'll. and in two
instances prevented their opponents from
making good on almost sure chances Of
adding 10 their meager score.
Newark is evidently terribly in need Of
practice, or something. 1t would be hard
y fair to accuse them, this early in the
season. Of not knowing even the primary
lodges of the national game. but their
attempts at fielding were sometimes alb
solutely pitiful. They took one extremely
costly balloon ascension and their work in
other stages of the game was extremely
ragged
While the morning yesterday extended
all kinds of promises OF warmth and sur
shine these were only partly fulfilled.
-Alorg toward the afternoon the West
dealt out a veil of clouds that nearly oh g.
scured the sun, and gave old Boreas an
opportunity to slip in a consignment of
chilling winds Consequently the attend
ance was rather diminished and owing
10 the waikover by the Senators the few
representatives of the faithful could not
even keep themselves warm through ex-
element.
Scattered through the grandstand and
nleachers was a large delegation of
Georgetown students. The collegians had
turned out in homer of their college mate
and former member of the Blue and Graz
baseball team, Lewis Drill who made ms
initial bow as full-fledged professional.
The boys from across the creek had no
cause to be ashamed of their former
catcher. He officiated behind the bat with
all the ease and skill of an old timer
and there was not base purloned by
the team from the Mosquito State. He
held the hot ones that Orth lined over the
plate, and was equally successful in gath
ering in. and holding after they were
gathered in. the speedy curves delivered
by young Townsend
The hitting of the Senators was more
than usually heavy. While they did not
connect as often as in the games against
Jersey City they alighted upon the leather
with terrific force. Six of the eleven hits
secured netted more than one base one
being good for three sacks and another
long bingle. ripped out by Keister, en-
abled the little fellow to complete the
circuit.
Orth and Townsend 0ficiated.
The pitching of the Senatorial twirlers
showed the result of the training they
had received Tuesday and yesterday MORN
ing Manager Lotus gave Orth the first
crack at the visitors. The big ex- Philadel-
phian certainly had the New Jerseyites
completely at his mercy for three innings. |
They did not secure a hit, and in the
fourth, although his delivery WAS touched
up for two-bagger, followed by single, |
not run was scored. In the fifth how |

that gave Garry his base Mcintyre then
landed on the horsehide and pushed the
leather over Keister's head. The WALTON
resulted in three tallies. as Mcintyre COM
pleted the circuit before the sphere was
fielded
Schrall fell an easy victim from Ely to
Carey, but Griffin helped matters along
with a single. Jordan who did a little
first base stunt for the Senator's toward
the e7d OF last season, re'aliated for his
release by walking into the leather for
two sacks. Griffin, however, was extremely
slow and failed to score on the hit Mill
er ended all chances of scoring that in
ming with high fly that was gathered in
by keister.
Jimmie Ryan in Luck.
Yesterday was certainly lucky day for
one James Ryan. He faced the opposing
slab artist five times. yet could only be
charged with one time at bat. He receiv-
ed free transportation three times and
took 1t on the ribs once. He also con-
ributed three tallies to the Senatorial
Total and to show that he did not care

Delehanty opened the third with two I

inning on Coughlin's rap over the second

hat the Senators negotiated their great Y
Hing.
Ryan, as usual, was presented with the
rst corner. He slipped down to second I
asc in time to score on Keister's double j
D right. Wolyerton helped the latter S
cross the plate with another hit into the s
anne territory. Delehanty failed to avoid Fl
ne of Garoney's inshcots, and trotted 4
1wn the base line. Coughlin hit to Crit a
