Base Ball Notes,

Baltimores again today and on Monday
Today's game starts at $50.
George Carey certainly saved the pama
for Townsend by his magnificent catch NJ
Selbach's line drive in the seventh inning
The ball would have gone to the cIub bousa
ana scored two runs at least; instead Carey
pulled 1t down with one hand in usual
clever style
Jimmy Ryan also butted into the sensa
tionai class by catching Howelrs long fy
in the eighth inning after running a mile
for it. The hit naturally belonged in the
home-run class.
George Carey led the Senators at the bat
with a double and two singles, and the
players thought they were bound for a de-
feat, as the team seldom wins when the
clever first baseman has a batting streak
on.
Cronin had something of the well-known
Washington luck when he passed Delehanty
to first and took chances with Couph1;n
Every time a senatorial twirler tries this
game it generally results disa strously as n
did to Cronin yesterday.
No blame whatever was attached to RYAN
in spikng Mccain. The big first baseman
threw his leg around in such a way as to
almost spike himself and entirely exoner-
ated Ryan.
The Senators have a second Willie Kee-
ler'' playing for them in right field lust
watch the improvement shown by WYATT
Lee in batting and this smile is not over
drawn. He is one Of the fastest fielders In
the country, and now that he has become a
hitter Lees value has increased sevenfold
1t would be dainty morsel if the Sena-
tors could hand up two more victories to
the Washington fans" A win from Bal
timore counts as much as six from any
other club, and all the Senator's shortcom-
ings of the past two weeks will be forgiven
should the Orioles be defeated today and
Monday.
1t was wonderful the little amount of
work Jack Doyle had to do yesterday Not
ball was hit his way, everything going
to the left of the diamond. and SO Jack had
to take out his satisfaction in slamming
triple into right and a single into center
When Delehanty came to the bat in the
seventh inning he was about due. for a hit
and the liner he laced to center was a
tremendous smash. The ball whizzed by
Cronin's head and had it struck the
Orioles pitcher he would have been out
of the game for several days if not weeks
In the second inning Bresnehan hit one
of those tantalizing pop flies into short
left and it looked safe all over but Ely
caught the ball over his shoulder after a
| long run in the most sensational manner.
Howard Wilson of the Wilmington, Del.
| club will be given trial by Connie Mack
| and the youngster will pitch against Bos-
| ton on Monday.
Gleason of the Bostons was presented with
| a set of diamond cuff buttons by his Cam
den friends when he stepped to the plate
So far this season the eastern teams of
| the National League won only five games
| In Pittsburg and lost seventeen
Lefty Davis of the Pittsburg team
| broke his leg In yesterdays game against
| New York. Van Haltren's similar accident
occurred some three weeks ago, when the
| Giants were in the smoky city.
The Cincinnati club has secured Lee Tan
nehill the Louisville shortstop, for next
| season. He is a brother Of Jesse Tahne-
| hiIl the Pittsburg pitcher, and u said to
