On the other hand, the Senators fielded per-

In the face of the Senator's two victo-

ance Saturday was not up to the standard
and can hardly be accounted for. The
weather was fairly pleasant. and, 1t being
Saturday, the stands should have all been
packed.
After the contest it seemed to be the gen.
eral opinion that to Manager Collins alone
the Washingtons were indebted Tor their
victory. Billy Dineen began the twirlfng
for the Bontonese, and because four runs
had been scored he was taken out and a
raw amateur substituted. Two hits had
been made by the Washingtons. but Hick-
mans two muffs of fly balls came at very
inopportune time. and gave the locals the
runs. With this good start Pitcher Wyatt
Lee determined to make an easy game of 1t
for himself. with the result that he was hit
but for the fact that Washington kept
ahead he would have been hurried to the
tall timber to recuperate. Almost anybody
but Deininger would have saved the game
for the BostOns and had Dineen remained
on the rubber a different story would have
been told. But this Is the luck of base ball,
and as result the Senators are leading the
procession, II they never occupy the posi-
ton again this season.
An Enjoyable Game.
1t is questionable whether a more enjoya-
BILE game was ever played in this city. The
fans like hard hitting, and they got 1t
Saturday. What made the contest delight
for the Washingtonians to look at was that
the Senators were always in the lead and,
no matter how hard the visitors hit the ball,
the locals would go in and do just as well.
Keister, Delehanty. Ely and Lee were the
leaders at the bat, the first named placing
two fine hits over the left field fence, and
Billy CoughHn also performed the home
run trick. Del mixed up two doubles
with his hits, Lee a triple and Ely dou-
BILE Woverton, Drill and Carey were the
only Senators unaD-e to get hit. but they
drove the ball out hard at every chance.
For the Bostons. Collins and Hickman led
al the bat, the latter getting home run.
a triple and single.
In fielding the Senators were almost per-
feet, a bad throw to first in the last inning
by Ely being the only slip, but 1t cannot be
counted against the elongated shortstop as
an error made in trying for double play
cannot be registered unless the runner ad-
vances an extra base through the mishap.
Hickman hit hard one at Ely but he
scooped 1t up neatly. ran to second. beat
ing Collins, who had reached first, and
then made a bad throw to Carey. 1t was
fumbled. but Hickman was held at the mi
tial corner. La Chance then flied out to
Ely and the game was over.
Errors for Boston,
For the Bostons. Hickman muffed two
flies in the first inning. and Deinnger threw
to first when nobody was there, and, as a
result, one run crossed the plate. Louis
Creiger isn't charged with error, but he
should have dozen for loafing on a passed
ball There were two on bases, Del at
third and Coughlin at second, when the ball
went through Creiger's hands. He thought
Del" would only score and took his time
getting the ball, but Coughlin demonstrated
that he is something besides a mechanical
player by comprehending at a glance what
the Boston catcher was doing and rushed
over the plate at 'Ders" heels. Creiger's
work, coming as 1t did on top of Hickman's
bad work, may have ratified Captain Col
Inns and resulted in the substitution of
Deininger. The last named pitched his first
game in professional company, Deininger's
work heretofore being performed for anna
teur clubs around Boston.
Boston went to the bat first and were re-
tired in one-two-three order For Washing
ton. Ryan reached second as Hickman
dropped his fly into left. Keister singled
neatly sacrificed, sending Keister to second

double to center. Coughlin sent up a high
fly back Of second and again Hickman
muffed the ball. Cary went out. third to
first. and both runners moved up. Then
came Creiger's loaf after the ball he had
let go by and two runs came in This start

bases scored Freeman.
After the Bostons had been shut out In the
sixth the Senators set sail for home and
