The downpour of rain Saturday afternoon
prevented the second game between tne
Washingtons and Clevelands Notwltn-
standing the threatening weather early IN
the afternoon fully 5000 spectators gath
Grad inside the park before the storm broke
and waited patiently until the no game
announcement was made at 800. As re-
suit of the postponement two games Will be
PLAYED today. the first game having started
at 2 o'clock.
Saturday mornings victory has placed
everybody in good humor. and the Senators
never looked better than they 90 TO-DAY.
The signing of Catcher Kittredge. as told In
Saturdays Star, was a splendid move on
Manager LOTUS part, and demonstrates
that the Washington manager is willing to
do almost anything to strengthen up his
aggregation. Kittredge. without a doubt, Is
one of the best receivers in the business.
and he will strengthen the Senators Won
derfully. The following IS taken from the
Boston Globe and tells of KIttredges fare
we'll in the city Of culture:
"Ktttredge was around the grand stand
bidding his old friends goodbye and show
Ing kilograms from the st. Louis and
Washington clubs Offering him more money
than he received from the local club.
me with the real people, said Kit
After this you will have to cross the rail-
road tracks to see the old sport
Just as he was leaving Kttredge re-
ceived word from Director William Conant
telling him to report to the groundkeeper
every day until his ten days notice Is up
Amt that just Hike these people, said Kit.
"T wouldn't play here again for 500 a
minute and they keep me coming out here
hoping that 1 will give up my ten days,
which I probably will
.Kttredge had some queer yarns to tell
of Buckenberger, Tenney and big Ed Grem-
niger and q good word for most Of the
other members Of the team. The chances
are that he will Join the st. Louis Amer-
cans here tomorrow. as Manager McAleer
is hot after him. If not he will go to Wash
ington."
LOTUS has been the means of helping the
Senators out Of a hole into which they were
thrown through the injury to George Carey.
and felded his position nicely. but at the
bat 1t could be seen that he was umid, the
natural result of the terrible injury to hds
nose. His batting will doubtless be poor
LOTUS discovered this in Saturdays game
he decided to play Catcher Clarke on first
for some time to como and let Kittredge do
the bulk of the backstop work, On the
finely at first base did the best batting Of
the team and In addition his coaching was
valuable. as 1t kept the men continually on
their toes. Many good games were played
on the trip.
The infield worked together splendidly be-
fore Coughlin was injured. and had the out
field batted up to their smuggling regulations
more than half Of the games played would
have gone to Washington's credit
Up to a late hour this afternoon nothing
had been heard from Outfielder Delehanty
who so uysteriously left the club in De-
troit. Mrs Delehanty, who Is In the city
has kept the telegraph wires busy trying to
get some trace Of her husband. but the big
fellow has disappeared as II the earth had
opened up and swallowed him. When Dele

very much disappointed over his bad break
He IL nothing but big, overgrown boy
by nature. and has always been his own
worst enemy. Center Fielder Jimmy Ryan
told Star reporter yesterday that Dele
hanty has been worried all season over the
loss Of the big salary that he thought he
would get from the New York National
League club. and that this fact has hurt
his playing.
There are several years Of good playing

make good with a vengeance. Del is one

Since the disappearance Of Delehanty,
Wyatt Lee has gone into right field and

game II he keeps of the pitchers slab. as
continuous playing will give him the batting
