Base Ball Notes.

Sena tors and st. Louis today and for the
rest of the week
Albert Orth will probably pitch against
Powell today.
Yesterdays game was hard one for the
Senators to loose, but it is just the sort the
Orioles generally win.
Bill Coughlin had a "hunch" that Sey-
mour was going to bat into right in the
second inning and was away over near first
base, killing a sure safe hit.
The Birdlets tried bunting on Townsend
several times, but the Delaware boy had
too much speed and their efforts were i'm
vain.
The wonder of it all is that Bill CoughIin
kept on his feet after the rain. This clever
boy can fall oftener on dry ground than
any one in the business. but after the rain
yesterday he tiptoed around second like
a rope walker.
send them up into artiStocratic company
of the first division. This is the time to
start the brace against the western clubs
and the long series at home should help
materially.
Dick Padden at second and Anderson at
first will be the familiar faces to the local
fans while that clever boy in left Jesse
Burkett has not been forgotten.
When Roger Bresnahan pitched his first
game in Washington for the Messrs wag-
ner he gave every indication of being a ball
player in any position. This indication has
been verified. as Roger is about the best
utility man in the business today and can
bat with the best of them
Setback had to do a kangaroo stunt to
get Wolyerton's foul fly in the first inning.
keiSter got a hand for his great running
catch of Seymours fly in the eighth in
ming.
Old Jake Gettman is playing a fine game
for Buffalo.
Dutch Greminger is undoubtedly the
fastest big man in the business. He weighs
ton and moves about like feather. He
made two three-baggers off Stimmel Fri
day.-PittSburg Chronicle I elegram.
McGnnity hunted along first base line in
the ninth inning. Orth made bold effort
to kick IT foul, but 1t remained fair and Joe
kid Nichols is once more pitching win
ming ball. He has scored five straight for
his Kansas City team.
1t looks strange to see Hanlon'S team
bringing up the rear of the procession.
The Pittsburg Pirates are winning stead
ny lyon, on their merits as their batting and
team. as a whole has hit at 300 clip and
fielded close to $50 That is a pace none
of the other clubs can touch.
Ex-senator Billy Lush is astounding the
Pittsburg enthusiasts by his remarkable
throwing, just he did at Cincinnati In
one of the games last week he threw Smith
out at the plate after catching fly ball
in deep center.
Connie" Mack is now trying to do bust
ness with Billy Hamilton, the old Boston
outfielder. Billy is a clever player, and
at one time was one of the fastest base
runners in the game. He would make a
great man to start off any batting order
with.
In the fourth inning Bresnahan and Nc
Graw caught Carey between home and
third. While trying to run Carey down
Bresnahan's feet went up in the air. knock
ing Careys pins from under him. McGraw
got the ball and put Carey out. Washing
ton made a howl. but O'Loughl:n said it
was an unavoidable accident and let the
out stand
mike" Donlin. who is serving a term
n no Taf for uir
contract yesterday to play with the Gin
cinnatf National League team. 1t is ex-
pected that efforts to secure his pardon
will prove successful. Should he be obliged
30 serve the fun term for which he was
sentenced he will not be able to join the
Cincinnati club until very late in the sea-
son.
Judge Tally Of st. Louis has granted the
