LOCALS DRAW A SHUT-OUT
Fielded Brilliantly Against New York,
But Were Weak at
the Bat.

Washington lost to New York yester-
day. giving it a record of six defeats
and nary a victory, but with this loss
comes the pleasant news thatnew play
ers are to be seen in the Senatorial
lineup i'm short time.
Pitcher Jacobsen, who last year was
one OF the cracks OF the Central League.
is already here ans ready for work
Washington needs a couple of slab ar
lists, as several of the present ones are
unsteady. and if Jacobsen is the real
goods he VIII come in handy.
But Jacobsen is not the only new man.
Manager Kittredge announces that
Lefty" Davis has asked for trial
and viii be given it. Davis was one OF
the best batters in the country in 1901,
when he played with the Pittsburg
champions. but the next spring he broke
his leg while sliding 10 a base, and was
our of the game all season. When he
got back into harness again he was
signed 10 pay left field for the New
York Americans las season. He did
not make good.
Davis May Make Good.
There can be no harm in trying him
here. however. for no matter how bad
JIG may be he can hit better than Hoh-
man, who was loaned to the ,ocals by
Detroit. Both Hoffman and tDavis are
good HeIders. bat the latter's advantage
in batting and experience more than
cnsets the work of young Hoffman
Jacobsen and Davis VIII be given

compared with the rest OF the senators,
has made good in every sense OF the
word. and the management IS lhcAheo

fielding came in the sixth inning. when

Case Pattens hard drive 10 the right of
second base. and threw the runner out
at first.
Fast Work by Holman.
