Bystanders were poised expect

been nothing short Of poison to
Washington's 1890 pennant hopes.
In this respect he has paired
off with Slugging Al Simmons.
And, from q Washington stand

particularly unfortunate in crucial
spots against the pace-setters.

Washington was Leading the
American League with something
to spare.
