The fine playing of the Senators at Bos-
ton Tuesday proved too much for them and
yesterday they drifted back into their old
time form, the Beaneaters winning both
games Of doube-header by the respective
scores of to and to 5. About the only
redeeming feature of the two games was
that the Senators held the scores down to re-
spectacle figures Manager Lotus seemed
unable to get his men to put any life In
| their work, the victory of Tuesday appar-
emily satisfying them for the week
Orth was on the rubber for the first game
and opposed to him was the ex-senator
Billy Dineen. The latter has been pitch
ing fine ball the last month or so-in fact
almost as good as the veteran Young-and
yesterday he had another good day In but
one inning could the Sena tors get their hits
together. and this rally netted all the runs
or the game. Orth was hit hard Dineen
being the only Bostonese who had q cipher
IN the bast-hit column, and a majority of
the singles came 1t a time when runners
were bases
In the second game unlucky Jack Town
send was on the serving end of the battery
and opposed to him was Jack Sharks the
young man who was recently turned down
by New York. When a team o,rtbats and
outLleds It's opponents. but manages to be a
trailer al the end, luck must play an impor-
tant part. The Bostons got but seven hits
of Townsend. while the Senators bataed
Sparks safely ten times. Four misplays
marked the Bostons work in the field, while
the WaShlngtons slipped up but three
During the past season Manager Lotus has
maintained that the Senators play with
more confidence back of Orth than any
other pitcher, but for the past month 1t
would seem as though Albert's companions
nave become "leary'' of his work A little
confidence and encourageme back of
Townsend would have landed many games

How the Runs Were Scored.
In the first game yesterday dropped fly
In right field by Billy Keister is reported
to have lost the game, but nothing Is said
OF the light hitting of the senatorial slug
gers. Boston scored one run in the first
inning. while the Senators went TO the fore
with d rush in the fourth, hanging up three
runs Three hits base on balls and
sacrifice sent this trio of talIies over tho
rubber. The Bostons kept plugging away
| addlhS a run in the fifth and in the sixth
tied the score. In the eighth Keister bobbed
| up with his error and the Bostons scored
TWO runs and won the game
In the second game the Washingtons rnada
a good start, scoring two runs in the first
inning and one in the second The Bostons
also hung up run in the second and then
came the comedy Of errors in the third
Coughlin dropped a thrown ball after
catching Dougherty on the line Delehanty
dropped fly in left field, and these mis-
plays unnerved Townsend. A base on balls
10 Freeman followed. another hit doomed
up and when the smoke had cleared AWAY
SIX runs had been scored by the ColHnsites
townsend went to work in earnest after
ShlS inning and not another run was scored
oy the Bostons. In the eighth the Sena-
tors added two more and then quit for the
day, making the score to 5 in favor of
Boston. Scores:
