National League Teams Standing.

With an unexpectedness that was almost
startling. came the report from Boston last
night that the Senators had defeated Jim
my Collins and his band Of real ball play
ers by the score of to 2. The Washington
team has been playing in such poor form
of late that victory in Boston seemed out
of the question, but usual the unexpect-
ed cropped up and the Washingtons scored
their third victory of the trip.
Southpaw Case Patten was Bostons STUN

his delivery and these hits were scattered
SO we'll that it required wild throw by
Coughlin to enable the Bostons to score at
all With perfect support Patten would
have shut out the Beaneaters. Many bril-
liant plays were made by the Senators, Ely
and Carey excelling, the latter saving several
errors that would have been charged to
the fielders through bad throws. Patten
also helded his position well, stopping hard
hit grounders and getting the batter at
first Just how effective Patten was can
be cleaned from the fact that eight of
the Bostonese struck out

the base ball world this season. But the
Senators had on their batting clothes. Dele

singles each. A remarkable fact about
these hits was that a majority of them

AS the Bostons have good chance of
landing the pennant. fully 1000 persons
were on hand to witness the game and Of

Senators have been particularly fortunate
against Boston this season and it was
the same way last year. No matter how
poorly the Washingtons play against other
teams, the atmosphere of Boston apparent

day it was the same old story: Capt Dele
hanty displayed more energy than he has
exhibited for the past month and his fellow
players were infested with the same spirit.
AS a result the Senators played in some
thing like their true form and won out.
The Senators got away from the mark
well, hanging up one run in the first inning
after two were out. Doyle and Ryan had
been retired when Delehanty tore off
