League Clubs Standing.

The Washington club astonished the local
fans and surprised the base ball world
yesterday by defeating the Detroits on the
latter's grounds, to l. The Senators are
in such a demoralized condition, through
the results of accidents and other things,
that victories have been coming Washing
tons way about as often pay days in the
factories hence the unlooked-for occurrence.
This summer Mr.. Orth has been averaging
one good game out of three, and yester-
day he was due, with the result that the
Detroits got but seven safe hits. all wide
ly scattered, and shut-out would have
resulted with perfect support.
The Senators looked so easy to Manager
Barrow that he sent young pitcher, by
the name of Deerfng, to the rubber to fool
them. This slight was too much for the
veterans, and they simply slaughtered Mr..
Deering for three innings. the hits being
of the timely order and scoring runs AT
the end of three innings Mr.. Deering was
chased to the bench and ex-senator Dono-
van skipped out to the rubber. As soon as
the Senators saw this stalwart twirler the
signal of distress was run up. everybody
curling up and not a run being scored in
the remaining six innings. But the LOTUS
ties had grabbed four runs, and through
the good work of Orth this quartet proved
sufficient to land victory.
Charley Moran made matters look well
for Washington by starting the game or
with a pretty single over third base. The
hit-and-run game was tried. and Charley
landed on third as result of Selbach's
single over second. Clarkes long fly to
Billy Lush enabled Moran to sprint home.
In the second inning Martin opened up
with a double into left and scored on
Drills timely drive in the same locality.
Moran once more led off In the third. and
again he made good with a sizzling single.
and Selbach did the same. Sir William
Clarke then dropped a nice sacrifice, NOV

Two runs scored and Mr.. Lee was on third
when the ball got back in the diamond The
next three men were easy outs. Then came
Mr.. Donovan upon the scene and scoring
of the WashingtOns was over for the day.
In the seventh inning Courtney reached

AFTER MAURICE WOLFE.
Washington Boy Wanted to Help Out
Detroit

From the Detroit News.
Manager Barrow wants but one thing
more to round out his Detroit team for the
rest Of the years campaign. and this desire
is one that he has cherished ever since the
opening of the season. He is still hunting
for a left-handed pitcher. Just now his de-
sire is centered on Wolfe of the Toronto
team, who pitched a shut-out-no-hit game
against the Jersey City team the other day
and never gave base on balls all through
the contest.
Mr.. Barrow was himself instrumental in
putting through the deal by which the
player was secured for the Toronto club
from Columbus few weeks ago and now
wishes he had turned the trick for his own
team. He has offered to loan Yeager to
Toronto for the rest of the season in re-
turn for the of Wolfe but the Toronto
management is not desirous of making the
deal and has offered Dooney Hardy instead.
This is not what the Detroit manager
" ants and the deal is apparently of.
In connection with the proposed deal it
might be mentioned that Detroit still has
a chance to secure Pitcher Louis Bruce Of
the Toronto team. who is now probably the
best man in the minor leagues. both in bat
ting and fielding at short or third, to say
nothing of pitching.
Il don't know whether or not we'll get
him this year." said Mr.. Barrow yesterday,
but nobody else will get him II we don't.

pulled it down with his gloved left by
high jump. His delivery was handled by
the Blues new catcher. Jones. in mastery
fashion. He is especially effective in low
thrown balls and his throwing to bases was
snappy and well gauged.
Seays good pitching was largely nullif1ed
by errors Of omission and commission at
short. Speakman caught well. as usual,
the large number of stolen bases against
him being due to Seay playing for the bat
ter and allowing the men on bases a good
lead. Speak brought cheers from the crowd
in the seventh inning by hauling in a high
foul fly off Sindle's bat. back of the back
stop, after forcing his way through dense
bunch of humanity.
Rhodes and Harveycutter both made SEN

Irving to Enjoin Davis.

Active legal measures are about to be in
stituted in New York, it was declared in
Chicago yesterday, asking the courts of
that city to issue a temporary injunction
restraining George Davis from playing with
any other base ball club in the country ex-
cept the Chicago American League club
until argument can be heard by the court
for a permanent restraining order or the
dissolution of the temporary one.
This sudden switch of the original plans
of the American League in going from the
Chicago courts to the New York courts was
caused by the fact that Davis will not
reach Chicago until Saturday morning, July
4. and leaves Sunday night. Both days are
legal holidays. and court papers could not
be served on him, Accordingly. 1t was de-
cided to carry the war into the camp of
the enemy and ask for the enjoining pa
pers from a New York court.
