Base Ball Notes.


The Senators play two games in New
York with the Highlanders.
The New Yorks come to this city next
Saturday for a series of four games.
1t took something more than ''Tessie'
to beat the Pittsburg last fall, IL Dineen
worked against them like he did yester-
day against the Senators.
Setback should always have a warm spot
in his heart for Washington, as he gem
orally bats here hard enough to make peo-
pie believe he is something of a hitter.
Center Fielder O'Neill forgot his Cog
giles yesterday, which gave Seioach a start
with a double that should have been an
easy out.
Two women walked up to the ticket Of
flee yesterday to pay their way in to see the
game and their faces showed their graft
fication when told they could go in free.
There may be more spectacular first base
men than George La Chance but as an er.
fective and reliable guardian of the initial
corner he classes up with the best. Man
ager Collins certainly displayed splendid
Judgment when he retained the big fellow
on first this season. incidentally 1t might
be told right here that La Chance is one
of the incest men in the business, although
the spectators for some unknown reason
take a delight in deriding him at every
opportunity.
In six innings out of nine the Sena-
torial batsmen walked up to the plate
and returned to the bench in order, not
one reaching first.
JOnn t1aCley Doyle, Tie bOSlOu
correspondent had Sam Apperious as
guest in the press box yesterday. The
Georgetown left fielder has just returned
to school, and will be on hand to help ont
the blue and gray next spring. Apperl)us
is decidedly the best ball player turned
out by Georgetown in the last ten years.
Kittredge got lucky single in the sixth
inning when his pop fly to short right held
got lost in the sun by Ferris, the pail 1aii-
ing safe.
The double defeat New York received In
Philadelphia yesterday knocked them out
of first place, while Boston victory over
the Senators sent them into the lead. Mat
ters may be reversed today. as the Bos-
tons tackle the Quakers, while the High
landers daily with the locals.
That boy Winters is playing splendid ball
for Atlanta for the past two months, his
hitting being especially hard and timely.
Manager Donovan should insist upon his
reporting to Washington next spring, If
only for try out.
Another player that Manager Donovan
must keep his eye on is Pitcher Mason, re-
leased last spring to Baltimore. The boy
is the best pitcher in the Eastern League,
and this seasons training with the best
minor league should about fit him for the
faster company of the American League.
New Orleans still leads in the Southern
race, with Memphis good second and
Atlanta a good third
Stone has batted for 400 for 125 games.
Almost as good Billy Hamilton. Jack
Slattery has batted for .253; Schaefer, who
is to go to Detroit for $40.
The batting of Lajoie is more remark
able than ever this season. for, while tho
finest batsmen are having trouble in reach
ing the 300 mark. the Napoleon of play
ers is sticking over 400.
Frank Congalton. the outfielder drafted
by Washington from Colorado Springs. in
50 games made 104 base hits, IA doubles,
triples and home runs-a batting average
of .352. His fielding average was :974. and
he made sacrifice hits and stole IL bases.
Umpire OLaughlin umpired In New York
last week In explanation Owner Farrell
said: II let O'Laughlin into the grounds
tuition and rules OF the American League.
If he throws it into the Highlanders l sup
pose we will have to grin and bear 1t
That closes an unpleasant Incident
Jimmy" Williams of the Highlande1s
states that If Griffith's boys won the pen
nant, post-Season series with the Giants
would be played. He stated that an un-
Outstanding had been reached with the
Giants in this respect, whether Brush or
McGraw was agreeable or not
Pat Dougherty and Al. Setback are run
ming neck and neck in batting, with .26o Tor
an average. The Boston man has played
three less games than the Highlander
and yet has had 20S put outs to Isl tor
Patsy, clear case of ground-covering
Manager Jones and his White Sox are
hopeful of better break in the western
games. Jones says his team is not out of
the fight by any means. I'VE lost lot
of games in the east by single rum he
said, simply because we coula iol l'e'
the timely hit. or because somebody sent
line drive straight at a fielder just when
1T would mean victory had the luck of the
game sent the smash safe Now we are
back in the west, perhaps things will break
For a bunch of consistent in-and-outers,
the Detroit team of 1904 will go down to
history as the only one of its kind. says

game would be no surprise in bad tall
