He showed great clever ness i'll blocking and countering.
 The boys spent much of the time inclinches and Referee Eyton was compelled to pry them apart
 Rivers had shade the better in three rounds, the fourth. sixth and eleventh. In the thirteenth Mandot nearly closed the Mexican's right eye with left swing, and in the next round he punished him severely with straight lefts and rights. Mandot ap- peared to be tiring in the sixteenth, and in fierce slugging match at long range Rivers earned even honors for the round. The seventeenth was al most repetition, Rivers roughing II toward the close and wrestling Man dot 10 the mat at the bell. The nine teenth was Mandot's.

HISTORY Of THE
 WASHINGTON CLUB
SENSATIONAL sPURT OF THE SENATOR'S PROVES TALK or
 BASEBALL WORLD.
Has Won Seven Cellar Champion ships in Twenty-Five Years in
 Major Leagues.

The wonderful spurt made by the Washington Americans this season un- der the skilful leadership of Clark Griffith has been the talk of the whole baseball world, as the fans at the seat of government have waited in vain for a pennant contender during the past 25 seasons.
 The Washington club succeeded the Providence team in the National league in 1886. This circuit was made up as an eight-club league until the early 90's. when it expanded into circuit composed of 12 clubs.
 Starting with the season of 1886, the Senators finished as tailenders in 1886. 1888 and 1889, claiming sev- enth place In 1887 They dropped out in 1890 and 1891, but came back into 12-club circuit the following season In 1892 they finished tenth and repeat ed in 1895. The season of 1893 found them once more the cellar champions. Tn 1891, 1895 and 1898 they managed to cling to eleventh place. refusing to be pushed to the bottom rung again. In 1896 things took on brighter look and the team pulled up in ninth place at the finish. The season of 1897 was banner one for the down trodden Washingtonians. for they climbed to the seventh rung. finishing as proud leaders of the second divi- sion teams in the 12-club circuit. Washington dropped out of the Ma tional league again in 1900 and joined the new American league under Ban Johnson in 1902. In an eightclub cir cult the team dropped to sixth place in 1902. They claimed the cellar championship in 1904, 1907 and 1909. The seasons of 1903, 1906, 1908, 1910 and 1911 found the Washington rep resentation struggling along in sev- enth place at the close of these re- spective seasons
 Summing up the record of the
 Washington team for 22 seasons we
 find they have won seven cellar cham
 pionships, finishing in 10 seasons as
 runners-up for the taiI-end gonfalon.
