The third game of the series between the
terday at American League park resulted
in an easy victory for the Senator's the
score being Z to 1. When the two crack
southpaw pitchers of the country-Patten
and Tannehill-went to the rubber the spec
tators expected a hard-fought contest from
start to finish. but 1t proved the easiest
sort of win for the local man, as he had
the opposing batters at his mercy, while the
ex-Pittsburger was hit hard and given
miserable support. In fact, the New York
ers piled up so many errors on apparently
easy chances that Manager Griffith. who Is
generally a hard loser. had to smile. After
these farcical proceedings had continued
for three innings, Tannehill was yanked out
of the box and Wolfe took his place. This
youngster from the minor leagues has
deceving drop and perfect command of
the ball, and as result the run-making
ceased, ciphers being hung up for the SEN
ators for the last five innings and three
safe hits were all they could secure.
Case Patten the Star.
But Case Patten was the central figure
in the contest, looked at from any angle.
He not only pitched mastery ball, but field
ed his position in marvellous style, making
one-handed stops of the sort that made the
spectators rise up in their seats and give
forth yells of approval and glee. Only three
hits were scored off his delivery and but
one of these was clean cut and decisive.
keeler got the first hit that looked very
Scratchy as the ball struck Patten on the
leg and bounded over to Coughlin too late
to retire the speedy batsman. Williams in
the seventh inning hit up high fly back
of first that Carey would have gathered In
easily but for the fact that he overran it,
and as 1t bounded badly, had to go as a
two-bagger. Camel followed with the only
clean hit of the game, sending Williams
over the plate with the only tally hung up
by the New Yorks. In fielding way, Pat
ten had six assists and of these four went
at him like shot, but he caught or batted
them down and threw the runners out at
first without much as turning a hair
There was almost continuous applause for
the authenticated twirler, 1t being the
opinion of all that better exhibition from
a pitching and fielding point of view has
never been given at the local park.
A Game Full of Snap.
Back of Patten the Senators put up a
game full of snap and ginger little Robin
son and Coughlin making catches that
brought the spectators to their feet with
yells of delight. while the others performed
in such steady manner as to make scor-
ing an impossibility for the visitors.
AT the bat Delehanty did the best work
getting in three singles, while Professor
James Ryan tore off a double and single
that were run-getters in each instance
Case Patten also sneaked in a hit in the
second inning, and it is now up to Frank
Donohue, the St. Louis twirler to get in
the game If he wants to beat the local man
out for the tailend position in the batting
list of the American League. Each of these
players made about six hits all last sum-
mer, and in getting a hit yesterday Patten
has secured a good start on his rival
Herman Longs injured hand continued to
worry him, and Manager Griffith decided to
play Courtney instead at short. The latter
accepted all of his three chances cleanIv
and handled himself we'll. Beville, the
catcher from Kansas City, made his debut
after Tannehill had been taken out with
Catcher O'Connor, and also acquitted him.

The increased warmth in the atmosnhere
MADE 1t more pleasant to view the game,
and the attendance increased very percep-
tlbly over the turn out Thursday.
How the Runs We're Made.
After the Invaders had been retired with
out a run in the first inning the Senators
started right off to do business with Twirler
Tannehill. Little Robby waited patiently
and was rewarded with a base on balls.
Setback tried to sacrifice. but Tannehill was
too quick and nailed Robinson at short with
good throw to Courtney. Delehanty fol-
lowed with single into left, and Ryan's
double in the same direction sent Seiha oh
over the plate. Carey then hit a high Az
into right that both Williams and Keller
tried for. the latter just getting his hands
on the ball and dropping it. Del chased
home on the error and Ryan took third
Conroy fumbled Coughln's nice little roller
and Ryan came home. Coughlin was
