HEROIC MEASURES NEEDED ——— ‘There is no doubt about it. The Washing- ton base ball team is sliding down the to- bogzan. Mr. Wagner left this morning for Chicago ke a hand in the melee, and by exer- authority, something which seems pave been lacking for some time, to en- rT to check the downward career of his ball team. He may find it necessary to re- sort to heroic measures, and the base ball public need not be surprised to learn in the near future of some important changes in the make-up of the club. Mr. Wagner feels that he has too much money at stake, and that the public has supported him too royal- ly to permit him to stand listlessly by and see his team go to pieces. Then and Now. ‘The base ball supporters, and they form a gceod-sized army, cannot understand the re- markable change that has taken place with- in the past few weeks. Only a short time ago they saw the Senators apparently safe- ly installed in the first division, and day ing pennant ball, and they » weil picased, and flocked to National rk by the thousan‘ls to see their favorites éo their work in up-to-date style. Now they compare the team’s average with last year's and find that Washington stands only a few points higher than a year ago. And when op to think, they realize that the b is at least 25 per cent stronger than it was then. Our pitching department is bet- ter equipped, and we have a short stop, thereby adding seven or eight games to the won column, which last year went right through the short stop hole. The Senaiors have won four games out of the last sixteen pia: when they should have won at the Very least seven or eight. And the people wonder why. The Reasons. Those who are in a position to know say that there are a number of reasons, and s00d ones, too. Lack of discipline among the players, lack of team work on the field, factions in the club's ranks and gross intemperance on the part of a number of the players, they say, all contribute to the present unsatisiactory condition of aifairs, and the only thing that surprises these knowing ones is that the team kept up its goed work as long us it did. A Promising Start. When the season opened there could not have been a more satisfactory condition of affairs. The men were all in good condi- ton, every one satistied, pleased with one another, with Mr. Wagner and with their Management. Before they placed their sig- ratures to their contracts they were indi- viduaily asked if they were satisfied. In every instance Mr. Wagner gave his men What they demanded. Several received a considerable increase over last year. Joy who w me placed in complete control of the was voluntarily given an increase of 3000. The Senators played on their toes all the time, and the team to beat them had to play hard from start to finish. The Garrison finishes of the Senators were the sensation of the season: And then t began to slide, and they are keeping it up. An examination of the scores will show that the Washingtons have had more men left on bases recently than any two teams in the league. That means that they haven't done any team work. Every man wants to knock the cover off the ball every time he comes to the bat. Mr. Schmelz’s Position. Before the team left on their western trip they showed signs of troudle, and it w Ss whispered about that the ragged play- ing was caused by interfere: with the management; that Mr. Schmelz was mak- ing suggestions and criticisms, and that the boys could not and would not play ball or him. It is learned on the best author- + however, that since he joined the club it this season Mr. Schmelz has carefully re- frained from taking any part whatever in the management; that he has confined his efforts solely to the business end of the line, looking after gate recei supplying new balis from the grand stand anc rt in agner in his business affairs. aid of Mr. Wagner as to non-interference with the ine: e's Opportunity. “Serappy” Joyce has had absolute control of the Senators since the beginning of the season. He was Iked by his men, and the geod work he got out of them made him a second Hanlon in the estimation of the base ball public in this and other league cities." The rest of his work should have easy. All he had to do was to hold his men where he had them. Without half trvirig he could have this season placed himself where Ewing and Hanlon are, and become one of the great managers of the league. He could have retired at the end of this season to occupy the bench for a dozen years to come. In view of the more than generous treat- ment of the Senators by Mr.Wagner,he feels that the course pursued by them 1s almost criminal. He paid them Mberaily tor their services, and he only required them to play ball all they knew how, and to take care ef themselves when off duty. They have do: ther. As instances of lack of dis- © , it may be stated that Mercer, the favorite, remained a week in Pittsburg without King packed his grip in Cincinnati and deliberately left the team and went to St. Louis without securing leave of absence. Mr. Wagner's Course. Mr. Wagner realizes that something must be done, and he is- going to do it, when he finds cut the best course to pursue. ‘Thus far he has studiously avoided taking part in Me management of his men. He has allowed Joyce to have his way in all things. Now he thinks It is time he tock a hand himself. He has signed Norton, a promising p'tch- er of the Southern League, and has a string out for two or three other players, who will be available as soon as the Tex: League disbands, which, it is said, be ver On. The Washington fans were enthusiastic over the playing of the Senators before they went away, and they sincerely hope that they will brace up and play the game they are able to play.

EASY FOR ANSON, ‘The Senators Were Not in It at Chi- cago. Silver King had no cunning against Chi- cago’s batsmen yesterday, although the Senators might have won had they hit the ball safely when men were on bases. Twelve Statesmen were left on the sacks for the lack of batting. ‘erry was no wizard, but he did a little better than King, for every Ansonian hit safely, while Brown, O’Brien, McGuire and King failed to con- nect with Terry's curves. Pfeffer’s 1emark- able fleid work was responsible for some portion of Washington's failure to tally oftener, for he captured ball after ball that seemed booked for @ hit. Chicago had Uttle trouble about taking the game, and the score tells the whole story. Tom Brown's leg hurt him after the game and he may lay off two or three days. The two teams have an open date today and the Senators will run up to Milwaukee and play an exhibition game. The score: CHICAGO. WASBINGTON. R-HLO.A.

He is said to haye excellent speed and control of the ball besides ability to mix up his paces.

PROSPECTS ARE DARK Pitchers Maul and Mercer Reported Out of Form, EFFECT OF TOM; BROWN'S LAY-OFF Description of Wén der Ahe’s Pic- turesque Ball Park. —— NOTES OF THE PLAYERS Speclal Correspondence of The Evening Star. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 15, 1898. The St. Louis series quite evidently was not the turning point of the Senators’ for- tunes, though matters looked bright enough for a winning streak after last Sunday's terrific hitting. Monday's twelve-inning game might have been won in any cne of six innings had the necessary hit been forthcoming; even a sacrifice would have turned the tables in favor of the Washing- tons at three different points of the strug- gle. But as neither trick was turned, all cl is due Pitcher Hart for his great pitching. The third game was a repetitien cf former failures to connect safely with jeft-handers. The Senators have won but one game from a left ler this season, and that was at Louisville, where Hill of- ticiated in the box. Lreitenstein, although he may have seen better pitching day: was an enigma, and but for O'L double the Senators would have suff. hut-out. Mercer pitched well enough, with the exception of one inning, ‘shen three ive bunt hits went safe and four singles followed, putting the Washing- tons out of the game then and the Mer- cer relied chiefly on his pects for western trip, it can be fi are not of the brightest.

Since his absence the entire outtield has taken a drop tn batting. It is not at all unreason- able to suppose that his return to the head f the batting order will ins more con- fidence all around and result in a brace all along the list and 1 winning of a fair share of the close games which have been going to opponents. The presence of one good hitter and fast runner on the team would have made a whole lot of difference in three of the last six games played. With such’ competent twirlers as Maul and Mercer out of form, an] the frequent injuries to Tom Brown, the Senators are surely not escaping their annual allotment of ill fortune.

Considering the fact that St. Louis won three out of four from Boston, the atten¢ ance at the Washington games was di couraging. About 2,000 spectators were on hand Suni 200 Monday and &) Tues- day. As is customary when the Washing- ton club plays here, Von der Ahe appro- priated all the gate receipts, In order to satisfy the old Cincinnat! Pendleton Park claim. This case has been a sop for la’ yers for nearly five years past, and the S Louisian has seemingly not the worst end of it. In the opening St. Louis game, with Joyce on second, Cartwright cracked an unusually long fly to center field. The length of the drive may be imagined when two long, accurate throws by Parrot and Cross failed to catch Joyce at the plate. Old players remember but one other play of this kind being made in the blg leagues. It also occurred in this city, and Duffy of the Boston association club was the man to score on Farrell's long drive to “Dum- my” Hey. Von der Ahe is a great advertiser of the sign-board variety, St. Louis being flooded with views of Sportsman's Park. Here are a few of Chris’ paint-brush effusions that greet the eye on entering the park ‘ake a slide on the silver plank.” “The new woman shoots the chute.” “A good place to pop the question—on the chutes. “Chauncey Depew patronizes this chute. ahere is no reference to “der Browns’ slide. A contemptible trick-on the part of Mor- gan Murphy lost the Senators the second game here. In the tenth inning, with Sel- bach on third and one out, Abbey hit a fly to right field. As the ball was sailing out Murphy deliberately placed his mask on the base path six feet from the plate. The obstruction balked Selbach on the run in, and in jumping over the mask he made a poor slide and was cut on a close decision. A similar play occurred in the twelfth, but O’Brien and Selbach were ready with their bats, and Murphy thought it best not to repeat the trick. It is not often that runners will reach second and third three times during a game, with only one out, and not one of them score; but that is just what happened to the Senators in Monday's twelve-inning contest. Next to the Fourth of July game, it was the most aggravating game of the season to lose, and the players felt ex- ceedingly “sore” over it. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch says that Selbach of the Senators comes very near being the star fielder of the league this year. His catches are often phenomenal, and, no matter how hard they are, his gracefulness makes them look easy. Bert Myers, the Washington boy, judging by the applause he receives, is the most popular player of the Browns. When the New Yorks were here two games were scheduled for one afternoon. Myers forgot about the first one, and the game was not played. He was fined $100, but played so well the next day that Chris. patted him on the back and remitted the fine. “Silver” King’s great work Sunday last opened the eyes of his old St. Louis friends. But for an excusable error, he would have shut out the Browns, and his timely hit- ung sent in four runs. King used to loaf around the park here, without any notte being taken of him, and Sunday Von de Atte looked on with amazement, while “Der Browns’ most reliable hitters went out in order on easy infield chances. Joe Battin, the old ball player, umpired Sunday’s game. Mr. Lynch, who is as strict in his observance of the Sabbath as he Is of the rules of the game, will not go near a ball park on that day. Mr. Lynch is well liked by the solid class of base ball patrons throughout the circuit, and a visit- ing club will always get what rightly be- jongs to them when he holds the indicator. Some of the Cincinnati and St. Louis play- ers say that McJames has almost as much speed as Rusie and a very fast dr » ball. MecJames’ work on the trip has certainly been of the winning order, though he is sull slow in getting the ball away from him with men on bases and in fielding bunt hits.
