Moran made spectacular stop and throw
In the sixth inning that won for him the
hearty cheers of the fans. HuIswith hit
singer between short and third, and it
| looked good to the spectators for at least
two bases. But they forgot to count on
Moran. He took after the drive, and by
reaching out at full length with his bare
hand caught the leather and shot it to first
In tune to cut off the runner. Both the stop
and the throw were of the sensational
order, and from all indications Moran will
make good as one of the crack shortstops
of the league.
George Carey was given the glad hand
when he took his place at first in yester-
days game Carey is of the reliable
boys who plays good consistent game
every day in the week, and the fans are
pleased to see him in such good form so
early in the season.
Jimmy Ryan pounded the leather for two
doubles and single, and made a long run
back for fly in yesterdays game. Jimmy
is not a has BEEN by any means.
Wyatt Lee is showing up in fine shape
as a slab artist, and from present indica-
tons he will figure materially in the list
of leading pitchers of the American League
this season. His arm is in good shape, and
he is hitting them out nicely. A three-bag-
ger and a double in two times at bat We're
his contribution to the hitting in yester-
days game
Demontreville and Holmes had bad luck
with the stick yesterday but they fielded
made several long drives, but the hits were
gobbled up by the Phillies.
Al. Ortiz figured favorably in the batting
column yesterday and felded his position
well. His throwing arm will soon be in
| good trim.
| Harry Wolverton of the PhiNies, who
| played with the Senators for about two
months last year, got four hits in four
| times at bat in yesterdays game He is
| picking up in his batting.
Lew Drills stick work during the last
| few games Is a matter for congratuiation
| If he keeps up the good work he will be
| close to the top when the batting averages
| for the season are figured up. His work
| behind the bat has improved with every
game and good ball may be expected from
| Washngtons young back stop. For a
| heavy fellow he speeds around the bases in
| fine style.
| Coughlin showed his ability to take care
| of any old thing that comes within third
| base territory. and made some remarkable
stops and throws yesterday. The fans are
| proud of the Washington third baseman,
and his popularity, it seems, will continue
| to grow with this season.
| Billy Kiester, who was with the Senators
/ in right garden last year, made a good run
| ming catch of Holmes long fly yesterday
| His stick work, however, was hardly up to
previous performances.
| Case Patten, who will serve up all kinds
| of curious benders for the Senators this
| season, was on the field in uniform for
| pra ctice yesterday. Case looks in fine con-
| dition, and when he has worked out his
strong south paw he will be able to hold
| down the rubber with any of them. The
| fans gave him the glad hand when he ap-
peared on the field in the preliminary prac-
| tice.
| The interest that Setback seems to take
1 in the success of the Washington team as
| evidenced by his work the coach line In
the last few games. is commented upon IA
| vorably by the fans. From all indications
Sci retains his old popularity with the local
base ball enthusiasts, for he is playing a
| consistent game, is always on the alert and
| covers a vast amount of territory
