Standing of the Teams.

Smiling Nat OTth had things done to his
delivery yesterday afternoon by the Ath-
letics from Slowtown. On top Of allowing
them to make too free connections with
his delivery, he made a bad break in yes
terday's game, which, coupled with VOL
veTton's stunt in the error making line,
boosted the visitors up one notch above
the Senators on the ladder which each
team is endeavoring to climb in order to
cinch the pennant Another thing which
helped materially in winning the game
was the home run swat OF SeyboId in the
sixth inning, when three men were on the
sacks. This was indeed heart-rending
sight, and for once that old accustomed
smile chased itself from Mats coun-
tenance. but was back again when he got
his elusive ones near the corners of the
plate and compelled the batters to knock
them where they could be handled
The Lotus bunch started off well BY
getting run in the initial inning but
could not disturb the whitewash on the
plate in any other inning except the
fourth, when they got a brace of runs
After that inning they did pct know that
such thing as the home plate existed.
Despite the fact that the locals lost,
the game was an ideal one, and there
were many brilliant features. among them
being the quick fielding done by those
two Cross men and a couple of others
from SloWteWu. CoughIin and Ely also
chased after everything hotfoot. and they
