SENATORS LOSE BY
LOTUS POOR TACTICS
Used Bad Judgment in Keeping
Wilson in Box.
Cleveland, 8; Washington, s.

To the bad judgment OF Lotus may
be charged the loss of yesterdays game
with the Napoleons.
The CleveIaEdites started of with a
rush, tapping Wilson for two hits and
one run. They banged out two more
hits in the second, but were blankeG
The third inning netted them one run
and three hits This made a total of
seven hits in three innings. To the
fan it was manifest that the Napoleons
could hit Wilson almost at will Yet.
Lotus kept him in the box. This poll
icy OF making a twirler take his medi-
cine may be good one in many re-
spects, but it does not win games AMI
when it is considered that the Sena-
tors have been victorious only once il
mond, since the clubs return, it Is con-
Guided that itis about time it was win
ming game every now and then
Take glance at the way Cleveland
hit Wilson, and ponder whether any
sane manager would have kept him in
the box. These are the hits per in
ming: 2, 2, 3, 6, 2, +. 2, ). 2-20.
How Cleveland managed 10 overlook
the fourth inning is a mystery.
Bill Bradley's hitting was the feature
OF the game. out of dive times ar the
bat Cleveland's third bag guardian tap
ped out three singles, a two sacker, and
a homer. Another delightful feature Of
the game was the playing of Charlie
Moran. The exGeorgetown boy swipeI

has evidently gotten over his stage
fright, and may be looked upon to pi4y
better ball in the future.
The last inning brought all the fans
to their feet. With the score s &c 4 in
Clevelands favor, Wilson was hit by
pitched ball. Moran fouled out to Alb
bolt, Setback swatted the sphere to cen
ter. Ryan poked q safe one 10 left gar
den, and Lee, who ran for Wilson, came
home. Del hit a hot one past third,
but Sheridan called it a foul. When the
big man came back TO the plate, he
struck out. Coughlin planted one in left
field, and Setback came home With
the score 5 to 6, and two out, George
Carey-the only Carey-stepped up 10
the plate. He bumped the ball into
Wrieht's hands, and it was all over, ana

Terrific Onslaught SHADE
on TIER Detfbery.

II Tom Lotus ears did not Jingle
throughout the game yesterday after
noon. and last night as well. it was not
because his name was not upon the lips
or every baseball far who attended the
game at the American League Park yes
terday afternoon.
AS the game progressed. the indigna-
ton of the fans increased. and. in Ian
guage not to be misunderstood. they
fairly scored Lotus for his apparent in
difference to the result of the game by
allowing Wilson to remain in the box
when he was being hammered unmerci-
fully by the heavy hitting Cleyelanders.
These comments. incidentally. were not
confined to the audience, since the Wis
iting players expressed their opinions of
things generally in terms far from
complimentary and even went so far
as 10 guy the players. This, of course,
was wrong. and to man they should
have been called down. but those of the
audience within hearing of the visiting
players bench were so worked up over
LOTUS passive course that they en-
tered into the spirit of the criticism
and heartily concurred in all said.
The Washington team is not the best
in the League From the outset it was
picked by the sporting writer's at large
as tailender. yet with a little judg-
ment and a capable manager the team
might have made a better showing and
been within hailing distance of the other
three clubs in the second division by
this time
On Monday Orth came in for drub-
bling with what result? Not a word from
Lotus. who sat sphinx-like on the
bench and allowed the onslaught to pro-
coed merrily. Yesterday Wilson was
batted even harder. yet there he sat.
with other pitchers to the right and left
of him. yet not one of them was called
upon TO warm up.
AS the hitting went merrily on, the
crowd guyed and cat-ealled and loudly
expressed its disapprobation of Loftus'
tactics. yet he turned deaf ear 10 all
and might just as well have been back
in Chicago.
