Base Ball Notes.

Nearly 1000 spectators were on hand at
American League Park yesterday after
noon to witness the closing games of the
season between the Athletics and Sena-
tors, fully one-half of whom were attracted
by the fact that the score by innings Of
the New York-Boston games were posted
on the big blackboard In left field. AS the
scores were posted both New York and
Boston were cheered. but a mighty shout
went up when the winning run was posted
for Jimmy Collins and his band.
The first game between the Senators and
Athletics went to the visitors by the score
of to o, while the second. in four and a
half innings. was placed to the locals credit

ment that only five innings would be played
of the second game through an agreement
between the two teams, the players were
anxious to catch trains for home. and as
the Senators were in the lead after the
Quakers had their turn at the bat In that
inning the game was stopped there and
then and everybody rushed for the gates.
During the first game Waddell walked to
the plate and presented Manager Donovan
with a package. Sir Patrick refused the
gift as he feared surprise. but when
'Rube'' unrofled a tattered American flag
he dotted his cap and accepted the en-
blem amide the cheers of the crowd. Dono-

better of the argument and should have
won but for the costly errors of Second
Baseman MIL whose throwing arm was out
of gear. Apologize pitched very effectively
for six innings but after that his support
became careless and the Senators chalked
up six runs in the last three innings The
fielding of Cassidy and Huelsman in this
game were the features.
In the second game Waddell and Wolfe
were the opposing twirlers and the locals
won the game in the first inning by hitting
the great pitcher for three singles, which
were coupled with an error and passed
ball three runs resulting. In the fourth in
ming Cassidy beat out a slow blunt on to-
ward third, but Lave Cross thought he
could head the youngster off and threw the
ball into the right field seats with the re-
suit that he went all the way around The
Athletics also hit the ball safely twice in
the first inning. but Wolfe got out of
hole by striking out Murphy.
In the third inning. HartseFs single, Lave
Cross double and Seybold's triple, coupled
with a wild pitch. scored three runs for the
Athletics. With one run to the bad. Hart

ming. but persisted at first while the next

the matter of a few seconds, and the police

Hanlon's condition was pitiable. He could
not raise his hands and was almost insensf-

he reached his corner he seemed dazed and
did not realize that he was a beaten man.

Well. IL 1t wasn't the fat Boston "rooter''
with the base drum. or the lean one with
the cymbals, who caused Williams and
Chesbro to speak right out in meeting at
the wrong time in the first game. 1t wasn't
anything else In the opinion Of the New

at the time Williams and Chesbro did their

arose among the Boston crowd, which oc-
cupied the entire left section of the grand

tional League was handled without gloves
for not playing a post-SeaSon series with
the American champions.
But about those games In the first one
CHESHIRE pitched against Dineen. The lat
ter began by presenting the contest to New
York by forcing two men over the plate.
but the former started by presenting 1t back
to Boston by making a wild pitch. 1t is
true that Parent made a base hit after
Chesbro's wild pitch had let in what proved
to be the winning run, but 1t was quite evil
dent that Chesbro was so overcome by his
wildness at this critical point that he al
lowed Parent to get a good whack at the
ball. Parent had previously done nothing
at the bat and this time he had two strikes
when he hit safely.
The first game. of course, the crucial
one. All the way through the strain, not
only upon the player but upon the specta-
tor, was intense. Nothing depended upon
the result of the second game, and although
inning after inning went past without either

to take long breath. Putnam in this con-
test pitched against Winter. and had the
champions guessing from start to finish. A
wild throw by Lachance allowed the High
