JOYCE DOING WELL AS A MANAGER What Another Week of Playing Has Demonstrated. CURRENT NOTES OF THETEAMS Counting the last game in Baltimore and three in Brooklyn, the Senators will play twenty-two games before they return to National Park. If the club wins one-half the games, they will be doing very well, better, in fact, than any Washington club has ever done, and all games over eleven will count as so much yelvet. The start has been glorious; may it continue. Two wins leaves the club with but nine moze to place them in the safety class, and under the conditions now existing, this number should be surely corralled. Manager-Cap- tain Joyce has really tried but one first- class pitcher, Mercer, the one-inning seaace of Anderson in Baltimore not being a fair test, his idea, evidently, being to place the veterans in the box during the western trip. Maul needs warm weather, and can- not pitch without it, and Anderson Is in the same class. Mercer is good at all Umes, even in the snow. McJames is sure to improve and should win one or two games on the trip, while Boyd will do ex- ceedingly well to help the nine out of a hole. When it is taken into consideration that Cartwright has been playing away be- hind his usual speed; that Crooks has been out of the game; that the infield has been shifted frequently, and that the young pitchers have done tne bulk of the work, the record of the Senators up to date has been remarkable. There is only one way to account for this, and that is thro perfect harmony among the play. Wagner has giveu Joyce full contr men, and he is handling them skill of a Tebeau or an Anson. 5) on the team will play for his life doing he will help the team up the ladder, and incidentally add to laurels, Gon Pittsburg, Cleveland, Cincinnati h game of the and ators will do well to get one eries, which leaves five games to be captured irom Louisville and St. Louis, so that the wining of eieven games is not such an easy thing as may appear upon quick thought. Of course, if the Sen- ators continue the gait they traveled in at Baltimore and Brooklyn, there is no guessing ere they will land, but the oing is a conservative forecast. All followers of the game ars familiar with the tactics of home crowds in the west. They try in every way to encourage their team and this encouragement is bound to affect the umpires, be it ever so little. With the veterans unjust decisions have little effect any more than to make them work the harder, but with a club composed of young S an adverse decision will take away nerve quicker th of the malarta, Will exert all what is coming will be practice: as “Scrapp: well-known 4 to him, and fe: on the Si s long "can stay in the game. is not out of the na- His health ts too goad and the nteen-carat order. psitates when duty er Donahue had hi ubborn foul tip in. the innath there was no one o knew anything about uit your uncle, It is said that dof the chance to get back to p where something like twenty or ears ago he was a star. seemed the pla twen Started In the game as a bal aside from filling it once in a while some of his own catchers were hurt, t not done much of that kind of 1% He demonstrated throughout the that he s! s how.

The season is early yet, but it has been demo ated that but two “outside” clubs have chances of breaking into the first di- viston—-Washington and Cincinna Phila- delphia, Boston, Baltimore andCleveland will surely he in the first six, and Pittsburg should be there at the end of the season, hut with the tacties that club has alread: adopted nothing but breakers can be seen ahead. Already they have knocked out several men through rough play, and word has gone down the line to “lay” for the smoky city boys. The Pittsburgs can stand the loss of players less than any other club in the leagte, and this will happen to the club before the season is two months old. Take out either one of the inficld players and the club is dead. Cincinnati has taken a decided brace in the pitcher's box, and where it was supposed it was weak the contrary has proved the case. New York is doomed for the last livision, and very low at that. Brooklyn's pitchers are too weak for first divisicn honors. Chicago Is playing the same game as last year and will hardly finish any higher; it has been playing weak clubs to start off with. St. Louls and Boulsville lack good manage- ment and players and cppear to be the same “old things.” As to who will be the “toppers” is &nother thing. Philadelphia looks good, but so does Boston and Cleve- land, and Washington “fans” have just been Jollied enough the past week to be- lieve they will have a “look-in" at the pen- nant next October, and perhaps a Temple cup game or two. The game won last Tuesday in Baltimore front the Orioles by the Senators was the first game placed to their credit in Balti- more for «ver two years. Up until 1804 there was no club in the league, American a Atlantic associations that Washington could defeat with greater ease, and the de but of Manager Hanlon broke the hoodoo. Phil Baker, who did such good work for the Washington club in years gone by, tells a good story on the Baltimore club of about fifteen years ago. The Orioles of that time had been doing so poorly that paying crowds were a rarity, and to beat the Senators was not to be thought of, let alone accomplished. One day the Senators went to the monumental city, and through great persuasion three of the visiting players, catcher, pitcher and second baseman, agreed to let the local club win. Everything would have gone all right, says Baker, but for the fact that the rest of the club got on to the deal and re- volted. Baker was playing center, Joe Ger- hart short and Joe Battin third. The agree- ment made was that every time a Baltimore boy got to first he was to immediately break for second and the catcher would throw the ball into center field. Phil says he never saw six players put up the game they did that day. When a man started for second, the catcher would throw. it about ten feet over second baseman’s head, and Phil running in would catch the ball and put it to third in -tlme to make an out’ Battin. that day re outs than the first baseman, and ever with the handicap of three players hel them, the Orioles were beaten. The pitcher put them up to the batsmen like balloons, yet the superb fielding of the team kept them from win- ning. at A fight nearly resulted in the latter part of the game between Hattin and Gerhart. Gerhart was playing brilliant ball, but in the eighth inning the ball slipped from his hand-as he was trying'for an out at first, and the ball’ went twenty feet.over the first baseman’s head. Turning to Baker, in center, Battin said: ‘Phil, Joe's with’ the gang, too,” and Joe. was furious. Battin apologized, amd said he was only kidding him, but it Was some time before the two Joes were om good terms again. That was a great teamp¢that year, and the Senators came out sekond in the pennant race after a great fightrto the finish. 885 “Uncle Nick"? Young received at league headquarters, yesterday, a large bundle of official documents in the Amos Rusle case They came from Indianapolis. The papers were sent to league headquarters by mis- take, for the case is not one that comes under the jurisdiction of the national board, but {t goes to the board of directors of the league, composed of Messrs. Von der Horst of Baltimore, Soden of Boston, Hart of Chicago, Wagner of Washington, Kerr ot Pittsburg and Stucky of Louisville, to be answered, but it 13 understood that some damaging testimony 1s submitted to show that “Little Amie” was a frequent violator of the discipline of the New York club, in spite of all that may be said to the edn- trary. In view of the poor showing of the New York club without Rusie, the adjust- ment of his case will be watched with great interest. Base Ball Notes. Earl Wagner at the opéning of the sea- son presented Mrs. Cartwright and Mrs. McGuire with $100 bicycles on account of their husbands being in first-class condi- tion, thus fulfilling a promise made last fall. If Joyce has been kicking at his players on the field, rest assured they deserve it. It is the kind of kicking McGraw did last season with the Baltimores, and {it won games. % De Montreville will play a better game at short away from home than he does at National Park.

The Senators have knocked them out of the pennant race twice in the last two seasons, and they may repeat the dose this yeu se sight of the fact that Bert Myers, a Washington’ boy, is playing a great game for St. Louis at ‘third base. He has supplanted Arlie Latham, and the indl- cations are that he WMl continue on the nine.
