Standing of American League Clubs.
Standing of National League Clubs.

After a continuous ride of over twen-
ty-fnur hours from Cleveland, the SEN
ators reached Washington last evening at
7:3O All the players were in fairly good
shape with the exception of First Baseman
Jake Stahl. who is suffering from mashed
finger received in the game at Detroit last
Saturday. Jake's little finger of his right
hand was mashed quite badly and he will
be out of the game for ten days or two
weeks. Manager Donovan gave Stahl per-
mission to go to his home at Elkhart, H..
until the injured finger mends. and he will
probably report the latter part of next
week.
Manager Donovan and all the players
We're loud in their praise of Stahrs work on
the trip. and all the victories Won were
brought about by the big fellows stick
work. In every city visited the press were
unanimous in predicting that Stahl would
be one of the greatest players of the game.
and Manager Donovan says he has received
propositions for trades from almost every
club in the American League. The injury
10 his hand came at time when Stahl was
gong at great rate. and it Is hoped he
he left off
Pitcher Thomas Hughes who was mar
ried at Chicago while the Senators were
there. brought his wife along to Washing
ton with him, and this morning he was
showing his better half the notable sights
OF the city. Hughes injured knee has heal
ed up nicely and he is ready to take his
regular turn in the box.
All the games played on the trip by the
Senator's classcd up well and Manager Dom
ovan told a Star reporter this morning that
ne had no kick coming on the way his
men were performing. Their stick work
has been light. but the opposing pitchers
nave been generally in tine condition. which
made the job of picking out the right curves
very difficult.
This morning. Manager Donovan had all
the boys out for Il good two hours prac-
tice and everybody appeared TO enjoy the
work. Groundkeeper Brown has the field
III splendid condition. the grass covering the
I'm and Outiteld being cut yesterday, and
everything put in first-cass condition. AS
the bare spots in the outfield have been
sOdded, the entire field presents a pretty
picture to the eye.
The Detroit team didn't arrive in Wash
ingtOn until a late hour last night. and the
players lost no time getting into bed for a
good solid sleep. something impossible on
the hot sleeping cars. Coughlin has fully
recovered from his recent injury and will
be in the game today. Manager Lowe said
he thought he would again try Killan
against Case Patten. and If the two great
left-handers come together a great game
should result this afternoon.
Tomorrow afternoon the Senator's and De-
trots will play IA doube-header the first
game starting at = o'clock. Donovan and
Mullin will probably be worked against
Townsend and Jacobsen. AS these two
clubs have always furnished great sport in
their contests. big crowd will aajuredly
be on hand tomorrow
The Washington club is open to con-
sratulations today. all its financial diff
culties have been satisfactorily arranged,
and from now on there is nothing to be
done but capture all the available players
possible and arrange for a hot campaign
next season. Contractor Harvey met the
clubs representatives yesterday, and he
was paid in full for the erection of the
stands and fences at the new park. This
debt has been big bugaboo all season.
and with II out of the way everybody who
has an interest in the national game will
feel gratifed.
