Standing Of National League Clubs.

Both the Washingtons and Detroits play
ed loosely felded game yesterday, but
the Senators had on their batting clothes
and gave Mr.. Mullin one Of the worst drub-
bings of his career. the final score being
II to in favor Of the locals.
The Tigers have been playing some gilt
edged ball at New York and Boston, and
came here bubbling over with confidence;
but the Senators found Mr.. Mullin very
much to their liking. and made up for lost
time in the base-ht line. Jake Stahl
pulled of two pretty bunts and two line
drives. while big Huelsman sent out a
timely double and a single and negotiated
two bases on balls. With the exception Of
Jacobsen. every Senator got one or more
hits. 1t began raining in the third inning.
and continued coming down quite hard for
half an hour, but Umpire Dryer kept the
players going. and the sun soon appeared
The wet grounds and ball doubtless wor-
ried Mullin as he appeared to rely entirely
On his speed. The batters were quick to
notice this, and in the fifth inning twelve
Of the locals went to the plate before the
final hand was retired.
Southpaw Jacobsen, who halls from De.
catur. ILL.,. was on the firing line for the
Senators, and his wide curves worried the
Tigers greatly. but three hits being made
off his delivery in the first eight innings.
In the ninth inning. with the game won,
JACOBSEN let up In MS speed, ana -FOUR hltS
for three runs resulted.
Tigers' Weak Points
The weak points on the Tigers appeared
to be around short and behind the bat,
O'Leary allowing several hard drives to
get away from him. and in addition threw
the ball badly. Buelow had costly pass
ed ball, and in addition gave weird eXhi-
.bition of throwing to second, six stolen
ha piSfo NV a locals and
no one has ever charged them with being
fast on the lines Manager Barrows has
been negotiating for the services Of Catch
er Clarke, and in the face of BuelOw's work
yesterday the chances are big that the Bal
timOre boy will accompany the DetroitS
when they leave the city. Manager Bar
rows has also made an offer of Barrett for
Coughlin, but the star of the Senators Is
too popular here for such a proposition to
be considered for a minute, although the
splendid third baseman would hail such a
transfer with delight. The president or
the Detroit club was in consultation with
President Johnson, who is in the city, dur
ing the afternoon, and important develop
ments can be looked for before the Tigers
leave the city.
though Mcintyre made a great catch Of
Coughlins short fly and Scranton BIZ
made a sensational handed catch of
Crawfords line drive over third, the latter
play killing off a sure double.
In the second the Senators broke the ice
hanging up one run. Stahl hit high bound
er toward Mullin and before the latter could
get the ball tc first the big fellow was there
by a step ONeill fouled out to Beulow
and Mccormick flied to Crawford. Huels-
man then singled into left, Stahl going to
third A bluff steal of second by Huelsman
followed and poor throw down by
BeuIow, Stahl raced home.
Ciphers were the order for both sides for
the next three innings. but in the fifth. the
Detroits shot to the front for a minute,
scoring two runs Robinson hit toward
third and thinking 1t was a foul stopped
running, but Coughlin threw badly to Stahl
and he finally landed all right. Cassidy took
care of Mullins fly Beulow hit toward
third and again Coughlin made a poor
throw to first. OLeary then hit short fly
to Huelsman. but Barrett got by Stahl at
first on a roller in that direction and the
bases were filled. Mcintyre followed with
a timely single over second and Robinson
and Beulow raced home. Carr forced Bar
rett out at third on a roller to Coughlin
Scranton BIZ then in disgust over his
poor fielding threw the ball into the bleach
erS.
