Base Ball Notes,

Hats off to Wyatt Lee. His good left
arm broke the spell
Scoops" Carey's four hits will be well
ccmed, as he has been hitting under 200
on the season.
Don't lose any sleep over Delehanty and
his big club. He will be up among the
leading batsmen before the month is out.
The humor of Saturdays game was in
the way the spectators urged on the Sena-
tors They would like to have seen 40
runs hung up instead of 10
Director G. Hector Clemes was on the
bench with Manager Lotus, and the play
ers decided at once he was a mascot, the
superstition working nicely. Mr.. Clemes
was happy individual after the Senator's
victory.
Patrick Redy has pitched several SPLEEN
did games for the ST. Louis this spring,
but work as hard as he would Saturday
he had nothing that puzzled the local bats
men. Manager McAleer kept him on the
rubber. as the Browns expected to slaugh
ter Lee in every inning.
The error column blank and the hitting
column loaded for the Senators has q
strange look in the scores. May it con-
tinue indefinitely
Bill Clarke and Charley Moran are GER
tainly hitting in hard luck. Almost every
game last week furnished instances where
they hit the ball right on the nose, but
directly at one of the opposing in or out
felders. They will be getting them safe
soon.
The infield worked well Saturday. Moran
and Robinson making pretty plays, while
COughlin and Carey were back in their
old strides. The good hitting appeared to
wake up everybody to a proper realization
of the situation.
All the Senatorial pitchers have now won
a game or more. with the exception of
Jack Townsend and he is getting closer to
a win every time he goes on the rubber.
remarkable thing about Jack is that
u, rly tc onv,t hot %h...
last season. yet he cannot land a game.
When Jesse Burkett opened the game
Saturday with a beautiful hit he sang out
Cherries are ripe" but the Senators did
the picking instead of the Browns.
Treasurer Hewitt has decided to set aside
Mondays and Fridays as ladies' days in the
future. one or two of the fair sex being ad-
mitted at time when accompanied by es-
corts. There was quite fair turnout yes
terday.
Umpire Sheridan used good Judgment
when he refused to pay any attention to
Burkett. The clever outfielder is funny at
times. he enlivens the game and the spec
tators like to hear his harmless twaddle.
There is wide difference between senseless
kicking at decisions and good coaching.
The Cleveland crowd will start series of
three games today, and a rocky road is
certainly ahead of the Senators. The Blues
have been going well. and it will take first
class ball to defeat them. Manager LOTUS
has hopes of having Ortiz back in the
game today so as to pit him against the
sluggers from Cleveland.
Devlin. the well-known Washington boy
and ex-Georgetown player. has been doing
great work for the Newark team of the
Eastern League. He is playing third base
and knocking down line drives so persist
emily as to gain the soubriouet of "Store-
wall"
Billy Clingman. the ex-senator, and one
of the cleverest players that ever broke into
base ball. Is with the Clevelands now, act
ing as utility man. From reports received
from the west. Billy it batting like fiend.
and there was never question as TO his
fielding: in fact he did so we'll recently at
second for the Clevelands that Lajoie soon
hurried back into the game.
The Boston Americans have won eight
straight games.
Jack O'Connor has been fined $50 by Pres
ident johnson for kicking and being put out
of a game in the recent series with the Bos-
tons.
Several professional clubs have a longing
eye cast on Pitcher Lynch of Brown Uni-
versity. It is said that the Philadelphia
Nationals will get him.
The Clevelands are physical giants. With
the bulky forms of Hickman. Lajoie Brad
ley, Walker. Wright, Dorner, Moore and
Joss looming UP they are enough to over
awe an opposing team by their size alone.
Manager Clarke Griffith of the New York
