FOUNDRY WAS A CINCH

Mount Pleasant Boys Won by IS to 4
Sheckles Pitched Great Game and
Famed Twelve Men.

Bad fielding on the part of the Foun-
dry team. and the Mount Pleasant Con-
gregational teams great luck in find
ing and smuggling the ball were respon-
sible for the score of Is to 4 in the
Mount Pleasant boys favor at the
Mount Pleasant grounds Of the Sunday
School League yesterday afternoon.
Sheckles pitched for Mount Pleasant
and pulled himself out of a hole several
times with two men on bases by strike
outs. It was the second league game he
has played this year, in both Of which
he worked hard In the first game he
struck out fourteen men and yesterday
twelve. He works hard and is in the
game all the time.
While Sheckles has played with most
OF the boys before. IL was different with
Barber. the Foundry pitcher. The
grounds were new and the players were
most of them new. and it was not eX-
pected that he would do as well as
Sheckles. who is in exceptional form
this year.

DISTASTEFUL TO RIOTERS

NEW YORK. May 3--The assiduous
zero collectors from Washington squirm-
ed and strained and stretched and swOre
nightly in their efforts to bump their
bats against the assortment Of shoots
that Long Tom" Hughes fired in their
direction yesterday.
But success was not for the soporific
senatorial swingers. New York won by
the score of TO 0, and the Washing
tons have yet TO mount the first step OF
the labyrinthian stairway they must
climb to get out of the cellar.
Like Liquor to Carrie Nation.
The game proved as distasteful to the
handful of rooters present as a man

down the throat of one Carrie Nation.
Only 1900 of the faithful had the nerve
to cough up the cash to see the High
landers improve their percentage column.

around their opponents. The Washing
TON players glided all over the diamond.

True. they could not hit the elusive lit

them along by mixing up several wild

benders. but like the proverbial mule,
the Senators always halted at third
base and refused TO go any farther.

The game took place before a fair sized

The game was close and interesting
for four innings. but in the fifth the col

dance Of errors permitted seven of the
opposing players 10 score. Both Finne-

1t is the intention to make this duck

of the kind ever undertaken in Wash
ington. From the amount of interest
that has ALREADY been displayed. 1t Is
safe 10 say that the progress of the
league Will be closely watched, and IT
is more than probable that one or more
other leagues win be formed along the

The prospects and ambitions Of the
Washington ball team are thus set forth
in the philadelphia North American"
under the caption. Making a Record,
Not BY Malachi Kittredge:"
From the present outlook and the
start we have made l see no reason
why the Senators should not wind up
in the cellar. We now have a death grip
on bottom place. and already have
that widowed feeling which is shared
by all my gallant fellows.
Little did think when they made me
manager that the team would success
fully lose every game to date That is
indeed a proud record never before
equaled to my knowledge. 1t hardly
seems possible We should go through the
season without winning a game. but
have hopes.
Bravely' Refused to Win.
"a losing team has many things to
contend with, but the Senators thus far
have bravely met every emergency and
refused to win. That is what l like
about them. They are cinch, and if
ii be possible TO lose my men take the
short end.
Even in the extra inning tie games
the Senators showed their mettle. They
might have won, and thus abused the
confidence of the public. Once get the
people with you in losing game and
there's nothing to 1t. The hammers pre-
vent the players from winning even If
they wanted to.
while our remarkable success thus
far has greatly encouraged me, yet at
times ! am filled with misgivings We
might win, for nothing is impossible
My pitchers may at unexpected mo-
ments display a battling reversal of
form and land us on the long end of a
score.
You Never Can Tell
Again. an umpire might give US the
best Of it, and show us up in a game We
expected TO lose-in fact, had a right to
lose. You can never tell.
