STANDING OF THE CLUBS.


Judging from their performance Yesterday,
the Senators are not going to lay any OBJ
stacles in the path of the Browns in their
march toward the pennant. With that
usually brilliant youngster. Jack Townsend,
in the box, the Washington team opened an
engagement at Sportsman's Park yesterday
afternoon, and. after the first inning. were
never in the race. Inability to puncture the
delivery of Jack Powell at times when hits
would have meant runs was the primary
cause of the Senators defeat. The score
was II to 4.
Base hits are generally conceded to be
the best material for the manufacture of
runs. but, while the Senators Dagged more
OF these than the Browns. they failed TO
get the runs. The error column on the ST.
Louis SIDE of the score is misleading. The
errors were ali made. but only one or two

In the seventh Padden repeated. After
tearing off his second hit he brought Dri!l
into action with another wild throw to the
outfield. which paid for Foxy Grandpa's"

In the third inning the McAleerites profit
ed by an error and a base on balls. Eiy's
low throw to Delehanty on Heidrick was
followed by the issuing of a pass to Hemp

Wallace's long fly to Lee put Hemphill in
the clear. In the fourth, after Kahoe and

another pair of runs in the eighth, just to
make sure of the game. Mccormick drew
a pass and advanced on a wild pitch. He
