their long lane of adversely yesterday at
American League Park. New York. and
gave the New Yorks faying. The New
Yorks helped the Senators Danish the spec
ter OF continuous and unal1oyed defeat by
a dizzy display Of poor playing. The score
was to 4. and the New Yorks made mis-
plays so plentiful In number and stupid as
to quality that 1t seemed the flood tide of
laundering for team capable Of such
vastly better ball.
The New FORKS were Iocoed. Figura-
lively. their heads were where their feet
ought to have been. and their hands behind
their backs: or. when they did get their
hands in front of the ball. they were Joint
less hands, which would not close over the
globe. And their thinking gear was out Of
joint. Mere errors are everyday occur
rences in base ball, but to be caught nap

on two of the New Yorks yesterday.

inning as Wolfe was taking a fly. and the
iatter's leg was hurt forcing him to leave
the game. Camel and Beville were tho

prize in Griffiths class of cut-ups. Attic

of teams now and then. The New Yorks
got theirs full in the thorax
Elberfeld made a wild throw of the first
ball hit, but no Senators got around in that
inning. The New Yorks scored In the first
inning on Elberfeid's triple and Williams
single. Beyflle sat down on the grass field

good pitching Setback began the fourth
inning by hitting safely to right. and
Wolfe made poor throw of Coughln's
sacrifice, Setback going to third and Cough
lin to second base. Stahl brought each in
with hit to left. Ganzers wild throw to
second gave Stahl a life after Wolfe had
not cost anything.
