Manager Lotus and the members Cf
the Washington baseball team return 10
the city this morning, and will this af-
ternoon meet the St. Louis Browns in
the first of a series of three games. Fol-
lowing the Browns will come the Cleve-
land club for three games, and then the
Chicago and Detroit teams will each
play three games.
The recent Western trip has been the
most disastrous the local club has had
this season. They played a total of
twelve game and won only three, taking
two from the champions and one from
Cleveland.
It is true that the Senators have been
badly Handicapped by the absence Of
Carey at first base, which has necessi-
tated shifting of positions in the out
field, but even with this, ii is hard 10
understand the miserable work done by
the boys in Detroit, Cleveland and St
Louis
After such brilliant series OF vic
tories as the club won here before their
departure for the West, the fans natural
ly looked for a good showing in the
West, and many predicted that the team
would return in the first division. Indeed,
Manager Lotus himself ventured the
belief that the club would take ma
iority OF the games while away
Marked Reversal in Form.
Hardly had the Western series begun,
however, before there was a remarkable
reversal! in the playing OF the club.
There was a woeful lack of ability to
hit, and Detroit easily took three games,
shutting out the Senators in TWO of them
and allowing them one run in the other
game. it is whispered that President
Fred Postal started the Senators on the
downward path by introducing them TO
Canadian resort where the players had
too good time. Whether this be true
or not, the team continued its bad work
On neutral grounds, Columbus, Ohio,
the club managed to win one game from
Cleveland, but they promptly fell into
their bad habits again and lost the next
two to the Forest City players without
the least effort.
II was somewhat surprising. therefore
when the team reached the Windy City
TO get the telegraphic information that
Washington won two games of the three
from the champions. This feat revived
interest somewhat, but it was quickly
dissipated when the Browns ran away
from them in every game played.
II is only natural. with this record
back of them, that the Senators should
return to Washington with the proud
banner they bore away with them now
trailing sadly in the dust behind.
1t is true that the team lost two games
by the narrow margin of one run. but the
excuse of hard luck will hardly fit in
these cases, as both games were lost by
the costly errors of the players. All of
the other defeats were administered be-
cause Of better playing on the part Of
their opponents.

There seems to be no question that
John Anderson, of the st. Louis Browns.
has signed a contract with the Boston
club of the National League for next
season. Director Billings saw Anderson
the last time that player was in St
Louis, and it is said the bargain was
made at that time. Billings is after Ell
berfeld, of Detroit. and hopes yet to land
him. 1t is stated that Willis has asked
$4,000 for next season and Pittinger
wants $4,000 to sign a contract for next
season. Gene" Demontreville thinks
that $4,000 will be about his figure, so
that If the owners of the Boston club
want top-notcher for next season 1t
will cost a tidy sum of money to Sc
cure it.

he is a disgrace to baseball and should
be squelched but they all agree that
he is certainly the biggest freak that

however, there is no denying. While in

Jack" Leonard, one OF the best anna
tuer pitchers of which Washington can
boast, who played in the Southern
League up TO the time the teams dis
banded, has returned to his home in this
city. He had a most eventful season in
the South and pitched for several of the
strongest teams. One of the best games
played in this country. and one which
will be long remembered, was the eigh-
teen inning contest at Charlotte. n. c.,
in which Leonard participated. He was
on the rubber for the winning team. The
game was won by score of to 0. and
was witnessed by record breaking

Leonard is very desirous of getting
into faster company than Southern

see him in the professional ranks.

From what can be learned the three
clubs named may be induced to take up
the matter of holding a joint Potomac
River regatta, and lend their aid in max
ing it success. If. however, these clubs
do not find it feasible to go actively into
the matter and raise in their ranks or
otherwise an amount equal to what the
Potomac members will subscribe or
raise. then the latter viii go to the p,.b-
lie alone and secure donations to the
amount necessary to carry of regatta
