SENATORS WIN, 81.
Local United States League
Easily Defeats Richmond.
PETER IN GOOD FORM
Holds Visitors to Six Hits, While
His, Team Secures Big
Lead.

About 80 people saw the Washington
United States League team win a one
sided game from Richmond at the local
grounds yesterday-score, 8 to 1.
Big Pfeffer formerly a star of the Chi
cago and Boston National teams, was
trotted out by the local manager and
pitched beautiful ball The only inning
that the Richmond Rebels did any damage
to his delivery was in the seventh session.
when they registered three hits. produc-
tive of one run and that was McFarland's
drive to right that rolled through a hole
in the fence and allowed the batter
to trot the circuit. Both teams played
snappy game OF ball and the contest
required only one hour and thirty-five
minutes to play. Heggarty pitched well
for three innings, but something broke
loose in the fourth and three hits mixed
with as many miscues, sacrifice and
Adler slammed one to right, his second of
the day. George Browne laid down
sacrifice as neatly as he ever did, and
when Bowling singled to center Adler
counted. Socks Seybold dropped a high
one from the bat Of Geary. and Hoffman
let his throw to third roll to the fence.
Bowling tailed, and when Fischer drib-
bled one in the direction of third the
local short-stopper beat Hoffmans throw
to the plate.
Score on Clean Hits.
Some good. clean hitting added two
in the fifth, when. with two on
by virtue of safe drives Browne drove
one at Prout that was good for a single
and both runners scampered home.
Browne looked to be the Browne of old
L.
His best bit of work was in the seventh
spasm, when O'Hare lifted one behind the
infield in the direction of second, but the
former New York and Washington star
sprinted and gathered it in. The Rich
mond aggregation at the beginning of the
season trimmed the Senators in their
series, but the manner in which the local
team outplayed the Rebels yesterday left
nothing to be desired by local fandom and
the Senators can be looked upon as one

on the initial sack and on his four trips

eighth laid down neat sacrifice hit,
Heck, another youngster of local lot
fame. was out in uniform and practiced
in the outfield and will, without a doubt,
break into the game shortly. Although
the groundkeeper has been hard at work,
the field does not. as yet. present big
good. but the ground is rough and the
ball takes bad hops. In left field a small
attending crowd was observed. and when
this is eliminated the park will please
better. very noticeable increase in the
attending crowd was observed and when
the Nationals are not at home the North
east grounds are sure to be popular as
George Browne has gathered around him
rather hustling aggregation and one
that is bound to be up among the race
leaders. Score:

Dame Rumor has it that there is dis
sension among the Athletics. 1t is re-
ported by various players that Eddie Col
Inns and Jack Barry have had a split, and
that they exchanged punches a few days

the players do not seem to want to go
into detail. IL such conditions exist on
the worlds championship team there is
hardly a chance for It to repeat.
