The Senators suffered their
first loss" today. but fortu-
nately this one won't show up
on the won-lost records. Their
scheduled game tonight against
the Tigers was postponed be-
cause of rain and wet grounds.
The poStponement, announced
about 1920 o'clock this morn
ing, didn't bring joy to either
club or the Washington man
agement. The advance sale for
the seasons first night game
had been good and both teams
had been idle enough lately.
A gorgeous April afternoon
yesterday was wasted when the
schedule called for an open
date. The next activity now
is ticketed for tomorrow at 2
pm. against the Tigers, but
even that's a bit doubtful. The
weather forecast isn't encour-
aging.
Hannah Misses Turn

rookie from Notre Dame, is the
