Manager LOTUS and his band of Senators
are evidently out to beat the record in the
shut-out line, as they once more failed to
score yesterday, the Detroits winning cas-
lily with eight runs to their credit. Mr..
Ktson. the ex-Brooklynite. was on the
rubber for the Tigers, and he allowed the
Clarke and one by Drill. On the other hand
Jack Townsend was hammered all over the
Michigan lot the Detroits getting fifteen
hits for a total of twenty-five bases. This
situation was predicted in last nights Star.
Townsend has not been on the rubber for
a week, and the kid" loses confidence in
himself from resting on the bench. What
pity 1t Is that a manager like Han1on is
not in charge of the Delaware boy. He
would then be worked regularly, twice a
week. and without doubt would become one
Of the best twirlers in the business. But
Mr.. Lotus thinks otherwise.
Back OF Townsend the Senators fielded
sensatfonally, as is always the case of late
when the Washington pitcher Is being hit
hard. When the pitcher does good work
and good fielding would win the game they
go to pieces and the other fellows score the
victory
A patched-up team faced the Detroits yes
terday, Coughlin being still out of the
game on account of his Injuries, while
Delehanty is reported sick. Little Robin
son, at second, was the star Of the game
making seven plays that were ringers"
while Martin at third, and the three out
fielders pulled down everything that could
be got hold of. The veteran Bill Clarke,
played good game at first, and in addi-
ton hammered out two hits but his run

RELIANCE WAS FIRST.
New Aspirant for Cup Honors Led to

The following dispatch was received last
night from Newport. r. l.: The Reliance
scored another decisive victory over the
Constitution and Columbia today in a
fifteen-mile thrash to windward and return.
Beat for beat. the Constitution won over
the Columbia, but time allowance will prob
ably give the latter second place. The new
craft sailed the course In seven minutes
two seconds less time than the Constitution
and eight minutes one second less than the
older boat. The Constitution covered the
thirty miles in lfty-nine seconds less time
than the Columbia
1t was a cracking race. under conditions
supposed to be more to the liking Of the
Columbia than either OF the other boats,
but the Reliance again proved herself to be
the better boat, both to windward and rum
ming dead before the breeze.
Only during the first five miles Of the race
was there any doubt about the result. and
while this distance was being sailed there
was a battle royal between the Reliance
and Columbia, which resulted in the former
establishing q commanding lead. From
Point judith to the windward mark the new
boat sailed away steadily from the others.
