National League Clubs Standing.

The Cleveland sluggers got going right
yesterday. In their game with the Wash
ingtons. and when these cnditions prevail
| it is only question of how many runs they
will make. Yesterday the score was Il to 2.
The cold weather kept down the attend
| ance. but those present enjoyed seeing one
of the finest batting exhibitions that has
been witnessed this season at the local park.
Third Baseman Bradley being the per-
former. This young man always works
we'll in this city. although in the opening
game of the present series he did only
fairly well with a triple and single. But
yesterday Brad" got into his stride early
and continued it to the end, getting a home
run for a starter, then triple on his next
turn up, then two doubles and wound up
with single, beating out a slow roller to
Coughln. After Bradley got going right
the crowd watched his work with interest
and urged him on to glory. Big Lajoie also
hit hard, getting triple, a double and
single.
Pitcher Orth was sent out to fool the
Blues and he did pretty well for five in
nings. but two runs being scored in that
time. After that it was a merry round.
Donohue, who pitched for the Clevelands.
was also hit hard. but he was fortunate in
getting the third man out before any great
damage could be done. In the third inning
Setback was unfortunate in hitting directly
into the hands of Gochnauer.
No Remarkable Fielding.
There was nothing remarkable in a field
ing line from either side, as the balls hit
were either decidedly safe or positively
easy. the players getting the assists and
outs without much trouble.
Cleveland started well. hanging up one
tn, flo Ers.f
ley's homer over the fence. In the third
the Blues got another tally when Bay hit to
the club house for three bases and Bradley
followed with triple into center.
The Senators got their first run in the
fourth, Coughin making a single and
scoring on McCormicks double TO center.
Mac tried to make it a triple. but Thoney
and Lajoie got the ball to Bradley ahead
OF him for out.
In the sixth came the deluge Bradley
started the trouble with double to center
and LajOie scored him with single in the
same locality. Bems died at first on a
short roller, but ThOney doubled to center
and Lajoie rushed home Abbott then fell
against the ball for ,hree bases. pushing
Thoney over the plate. At this point Kilt
redge had a passed ball and Abbott scored
Gochnauer and DOnohue flied out to Cough
lin.
Another batting matinee popped up in the
very next inning. three runs resulting. Flick
led off with single and Bay sacrificed him
scoring Flick and Lajoie followed with a
triple that was lost in the sun. forcing
home Brad" Bemis then singled over
second and Lajoie scored. Thoney hit to
Orth. and Bemis was forced at second
Thoney stole second and kept on to third
as Kittredge threw into center field. Alb
bolt closed the inning with line fly to
Setback.
In this inning the Senators got their sec
ond and last run, the result of Kittredge's
single and Orths fine triple to the club
house
In the eighth, the Clevelands were again
busy with their bats, but bases on balls
We're run-contributors. Gochnauer started
off with pass to first. while Donohue's
best was a fly to Osteen. Flick also gave
Robinson a fly, making t%o out. Bay
walked and Bradleys single filed the
bases. Lajoie then hit double into right
field that came very near to taking Nc
Cormick's lead off, and the drive cleared
the bases. Both sides went out in regular
order in the ninth.
