American League Clubs Standing.

After continued string of eleven defeats
the Senators pulled themselves together
Saturday afternoon at American League
Park and administered coat of white
wash of unusual proportions to the st.
Louis Browns. Not satisfied with keeping
the McAleerites from scoring. the Senators
batted in their true form and piled up ten
runs. Some two weeks ago the Washing
tons won game in Detroit. and then fol-
lowed the string of defeats from the Bos-
tons. Athletics and ST. Louis. until, finallJ
tired of this sort of thing they turned Sat
urday and played like champions.
Wyatt Lee, the southpaw from Missouri,
was on the rubber for the Senators. and
completely puzzled the hard hitting Browns.
Five hits, widely scattered, was the sum
total of bingles secured by the Browns.
two of which were made in the first in
ming without scoring a run. Back of Lee
the Senators fielded faultlessly. not mis-
play being made, Moran and Robinson
playing with confidence they have not
shown for some time, while Catcher
Clarke coached Wyatt into an unusually
rapid stride
Manager McAleer sent Patrick Reidy to
the rubber and the Senators hailed him
a long lost brother. Although he got
away with the first two innings in fairly
good shape, the Senators started in at the
third turn and thereafter batted the ball
all over the lot. Carey, who has been hit
ting about 100 on the season. tore off four
timely singles, while Delehanty ripped up
two doubles and single. Wyatt Lee also
managed to sneak in trio of bingles. and,
in fact, there was not a Senator who didn't
get one or more hits. Back of Reidy the
Browns had an off day in the fielding line.
Burket letting a grounder run between his
legs, Wallace making bad throw to first,
did Heidrick, and Reidy had to get in
the way of throw home, DETECTING the
ball enough to allow extra base to be
taken by the batter.
Gala Day for the Cans"
1t was gala day for the few hundred
spectators present and they urged on the
Senators with exultant shouts They had
been taking bitter medicine for a week
and couldn't get too much of good thing.
1t rained at noon, and this softened up the
grounds and kept the attendance down.
Sawdust was scattered around the bases
and fairly good playing field resulted
After being BANKED in the first two in
nings the Senators set to work In earnest
in the third. Clarke singled over second
and went to third as Heidrick threw to
first while Anderson was twenty feet off
the bag Lee singled into left, scoring
Clarke, and went to second as Burkett
allowed the ball to go through him. Sell
bach sacrificed, sending Lee to third. and
Ryan was hit by Reidy. A swift single
over second by Delehanty scored Lee.
After Coughlin had flied out to Wallace
Carey singled to center and Ryan raced
home. Moran went out on a line hit to
Padden.
This hitting continued in the fourth. sin
giles by Robinson, Lee, Setback and Ryan
scoring three more runs. In the fifth
Coughlin reached first ON Wallace's poor
throw to first. went to third on Carey's
single into right and home while Morans
grounder was forcing Carey out at second.
In the sixth the fusillade of hits was
worse than ever, Delehanty and Moran
getting doubles. while Selbach. Coughlin
and Carey added singles, with the result
that three more runs were hung up. This
ended the run getting, although Lee and
Carey got hits in the seventh and eighth
innings.
In the ninth inning the Browns got two
men on bases. with no one out and a rally
seemed imminent, but pretty double play
by Coughlfn and Carey brought the game
to a close with DASH
