Covering Right Field.
Now. II Manager Lotus and his base
ball crew will only fight shy OF President
Postal's sumptuous swimming establish
ment and send their regrets if invited
to attend nocturnal booze expedition,
when they next reach Detroit, we may
be able to boast about winning games
from Doctor Casey and his companion
Tigers after the coming series in the
Michigan town.
The style of ball put up by the De
t-oiters during the past four games
would hardly win from a well regulated
amateur organization. let alone from
the hard-hitting Senators.
Please, therefore, Mr. Lotus. keep
your charges away from that terrible
swimming tank. ard forget that there
are any excursion resorts on the Cana
dian shore. and perhaps-who can tell
the Washingtonians may depart from
Detroit with couple more victories to
their credit.
1t would be extremely humiliating to
be compelled to come back home three
weeks or so hence and explain away any
games lost to the Tigers.
Now. Manager Tom, please. please.
keep a sharp lookout On the wahderings
CT your young athletes.
Mccarthy Was Easy Marx.
The game yesterday was a repetition.
to a large extent. Of the three previous
ones with the Tigers. II resulted in an
other LEGAL victory. principally because
the Senatorial hitting corps had no
trouble in shifting the curves Of Mr..
Percy McCa1thy. the fair-haired young
stcr VINO tried to send The locals to the
grass last Saturday. and who failed mcst
dismally.
NJ. Mccarthy started out yesterday
quite jubilar;ly.
For couple OF innings nothing came
the way Of the home talent. and the De-
tfoit crowd put UP a remarkably fast
game in the field. particularly Harley,
who pulled down a hit OF orth's that
seemed good for at least three bases.
Casey. TOO, executed a number Of very
fast plays during the two opening in
nings. and it seemed as If the last game to
be seen on the home grounds for over
three weeks would 80 70 the visitors.
But after that second inning, the
locals caught the gauge of young Mr.
a.cCarthy's delivery and Immediately
commenced to do things to his style
OF pitching.
Delehanty Missed Distinction.
The locals seemed able TO hit the ball
about as often as they pleased, that IS.
with the exception of Delehanty-the
hard hitting Delehanty, at that, too
who had one splendid chance to dis
tinguish himself in the third inning.
when with three men on the sacks and
two out the cartain of the Senator'S
stepped to the plate.
Did he jolt the sphere?
Nary jolt, but he did drop a nice,
modest little fly into the outstretched
paws Of Mr. Ducky Holmes in right
field. much TO the disgust of a large per
tion OF the gathering, for at this part OF
the event we were two runs in the rear,
and it was opined on all sides that the
mighty DeIehanty would be able to cop
out at least a single, and this would
send in two runs and tie the score.
Coughlin Spiked By Harley.
Coughnn started TO play, but in the
very first inning, was spiked by Har-
ley while the latter was sliding into
the third precinct
Coughlin's injury, while not necessarily
serious, may keep him out of the game
for a number OF days, which would be
very unfortunate for the Loftusites, as
they are none too well prepared to meet |
the Western teams they will buck Up |
against during the next two weeks.
The injury to Coughln caused a
change in the makeup OF the team. Keis- |
ter coming in from right TO third ana J
Orth going to right.
This combination did very well, Orth |
making a couple OF excellent catches |
while Keister only fell down on one |
play.
Senator'S First RIMS.
washingtons first run came in the |
third inning. Carey was the lucky sena-
tor, and his double contributed consid- |
erably 10 the tally Then Clarke's crack
for two cushions sent him across the
rubber
In the fourth. Keister singled stole
second and scored on Orth's safe hit
The home players settled down TO ac-
tual work in the fifth, and when the
side was retired three runs more were
added to the tally record.
They came in this manner:
Clarke drew a base on balls. Patten
struck out and then Doyle singled /
Clarke and Doyle came in on Lees hit
for a pair of sacks, and Lee scored on
Keister's bingle.
In the next inning the visitors were
passed On the way 10 victory by three
more rams coming our Tay
Clarke's Daily Home Run.
Carey hit for base. and tailed on
