AT. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
TOM HUGHES A STAR.
Senator's TwirIer Doing Good Work
for washington,

Washington, Sept. s1.-Tom Hughes
is pitching phenomenal ball for the
Senators these days and has been a
strong factor in the good work they
have been doing on this final tour Of
the west.
In recognition of his brilliant serv-
ices against the Cleveland club during
the season, and especially for his mar
velous performance on this trip,
Washington fans are planning to give
him a testimonial.
StahI's team has played thirteen
games on this trip, nine of which
have been won-the best record of
any of the eastern clubs, not even
have won only eight out of fourteen.
OF those nine victories by the Sen
ators Tom Hughes has won five.
Those games were all pitched within
ten days, averaging a victory for him
Fourteen hits is all that the oppon-
Fer1ts of the Senators made off Hughes
in those. FIVE games. skThat, too. comes
pretty near being a record and Shows
that Long Tom has come into his.
better bail right now than any other
twirler in the American league.
Here is Hughes record since going
west on this trip:
August 1S-Defeated Cleveland to
0, the Maps getting only two hits.
August 21-Defeated Cleveland 9 to
%, the Maps getting only two hits.
August 23-Defeated Detroit 5 to 4,
relieving Falkenberg when the score
was tied. Only one hit was made off
nings.
August 24-Defeated Detroit 8 to 2,
the Tigers getting six hits.
August 2S--Defeated Chicago to 1,
the White Sox getting three hits.
In those, five games only three runs
we're scored against Hughes. the four
tailed by Detroit having been made
off Falkenberg before Hughes was
sent in to save the game. In the same
games the Senators registered total
of 25 runs and made 80 base hits, with
only five errors against II by their
opponents.
Until this season Hughes has always
been regarded as more or less of a
joke when sent in to pitch against the
White Sox. His disposition has al
ways been to take things easy and he
seldom extended himself to his limit,
at least not when facing the South
side team. Even this season Tom
has shown lack of interest once or
twice, but after the shake-up of the
team returning from its last western
trip Secretary Minor of the club had
a long talk with him and showed him
the error of his ways. Hughes prom
ised Minor that he would do all he
possibly could to help the club along
and he has kept his promise faith
fully. That he has done so his sensa-
tional work on this trip fully demon
strates.
Washington's record on this trip
has been nearly equal to the best tour
made by any club this season. Nine
victories out of thirteen games played
gives them winning percentage on
this trip of SEQ. Two out of three
were taken from Cleveland, three
straight from Detroit, three out of
five from st. Louis and one out of two
from the White Sox UP to date. The
final battle will be fought this after
noon, playing off the rubber for this
series.
Washington has usually been re-
garded as a, team which succunbed
easily to speed in pitching, while be-
ing more than usually strong against
any twirler that lacked steam.

won a game! Heavens! The contest was
a chilling frost, a farcciai joke, but new
ertheless the visitors COPIED it, A mon
strous score of Ii to 10 was piled up.
Walter Quiesser and Thomas Hughes
were the fatted victims and both sides
proceeded to materially enlarge their
batting percentages sMcKe1vey preced-
ed Hughes, and in reality did better
than his successor. Forester was also
knocked out of the squared circle. but
strange to say, he too did better than
the man that followed him.
The error column was not sighted in
the least, Leavenworth making five and
Topeka two. There were plenty of fea-
lures, but most Of them were frea kish.
The hitting of Murray, Dunn and u
rich are worthy of especial mention
however. Lyons reported to the Sox
and did stellar work. Two hits, two as
sists and two put-outs were to his
credit.

1Ihird place for the Cubs.

Boston, Mass. Sept. Manager
Chance and the Cubs are safely settled
in third place, unless accidents should
cripple the team so badly that they
would lose over half of the thirty-five
remaining games they have to play be-
fore the race is over. The Phillies, who
have been logging the Cubs for the
position most of the summer, have
dropped back in their work and have
lost the last six games they have play
ed, while the Cubs have been making
their best record of the season in the
east.
Nine victories out of twelve games
played on this trip has put the Cubs
on Easy street for third position and
it would not be an inpossibility, 1t is
said, for the team to overtake the Pr
rates for second place. The Pittsburg
men are playing too consistent ball to
hope for q slump, however.

Here is a hot shot from the Wichita
Eagle for Pitcher Bemis: An admirer
OF Benlis was found at the park yester-
day, and, according to a report in the
morning paper the police Immediately
locked him up on a charge of insanity.
The Ratchet has been buried in the
Territory. From the Times-J ournaI of
Oklahoma City: The following is from
the 1evel-headed sporting writer for the
Guthrie Leader:
The statement has been made by
Guthrie ball fans that the only thing
they were interested in now was seeing
that Oklahoma City did not carry off
the coveted pennant honors. This is re-
GREETED by people who understand the
baseball situation. If the Senators can't
win the pennant, let it go to Oklahoma
City or any place to keep it in the Ter
ritory. 1t is not generally known that
stockholder in the Oklahoma City fran
chise, is the person who made it posi-
Die for Guthrie to be a member of the
Western Association. At the baseball
meeting held in Kansas City before the
season opened, Barnes told the mana
gers assembled there that Guthrie was
a good ball town and unless they adj
mitted this city into the association his
town would withdraw. AS great as is
the rivalry between the two towns, if
the question is put directly to a good
loyal fan: do you want Missouri or
Kansas to carry off the honors in pre-
ference to the Territory" he will surely
say: Ne Then don't knock the Nets.
We are going to make a desperate effort
to get in at the finish, but If the Sena-
tors fall down, boost the Nets. Don't
root for the teams from the states.
II cannot see,'' said Secretary Logan
of the White Sox this morning. why
the Topeka ball players are considered
rowdies. They seem to now have at
tanned that reputation all over the cir
cult. / don't understand it, Take Ok
lahorna City for instance. Did you ever
see a more grouchy, fussy, quarrelsome
bunch than that Dud Risley leads?
There is Sedaliat Why that gang is
always tearing up the earth. What is
the matter with Leavenworth? Don't
they fuss and fu1ne. 7 wish / knew just
why the circuit and the umpires seem
TO have it in for the White Sox. They
are not rowdies any more than anyone
else" But Mister Logan, put on spec
tacles over your memory bump and
hike back to the day when Dunn shook
Werner like a rat, when Quigley grab
bed Cameron by the shoulders and
spun him like top, when Cole advanc-
ed on Cameron with q bat, when Henry
attempted to assault Chic and was
yanked back by Nick Carter-these and
some more Then figure out by actual
fact that Topeka players have received
more benching than the members OF any
other team in the league. Remember
that an actual physical assault on an
umpire was made by but one person

other than Topeka ball player, and
that was Bemis when he punched Ghio's

balance of your judgment and perhaps
you will be able to arrive at conclu-
sion why the circuit newspapers and

rOWdy gang.
John Halla. recently with Oklahoma
City, has been loaned for the remain
der of the season by the Cleveland
American League team to the Ameri-
can Association. He will join Cleve-
land again in the spring.
From the Kansas City Star: Pitcher
Eels' experiences this season have been
enough to discourage him with his pro-
fession. The article of support given
him has been uniformly rotten, and his
average has suffered lamentably as a
result
From the Joplin Globe: Kid Durbin
has been sold to st. Joseph and leaves
the Miners pitching staff today. He
goes to ST. Joe of his own accord, on
conditions that were up to him to ac-
cept, and with the understanding that
he is to return to Joplin if he fails to
make good or to like his new berth. No
other pitcher is to be added to the Min
ers' staff in Durbin's place, says Cap
tain Vanderbilt.
In relation to Pendry's suspension the
Globe has this paragraph: Pendry was
out and Shimonek was on third, Dollis
Gray officiated perfectly on first, ana
Bayless was himself again in left field
Pendry. the swift Jack, who has pre-
sided throughout with much credit to
Joplin over the destinies of third, has
been suspended for the rest of the seas
on "for Indifferent playing" The charge
is not that he erred, but that he didn't
really seemed to care which is a strange
and surprising charge against the snap
by infielder. Pendry's defense is that
he did his best, and that he had bum
finger, and a split lip of late, both of
which initiated against his fielding
average. But Pendry's gone, and Shin.
onek is his successor on third, transfer
red from first
