Batting and Fie\dingof the Washing- a The batting and fielding averages of the Washington players for the season just closed give in a practical way the reason for the club's good standing in the league rece. Not counting Bresnehan or German, the Senators have eight batters in the .300 per cent class, while Brown and Wrigley are not far below the mark. De Montre- ville leads with an average of .347, and “Jim” McGuire is second. The latter’s rec- ord of .840 is the highest he has ever made since his entrance into the league. Mercer, also, is well up, Stivetts, Orth and Thorn- ton being the only pitchérs to outbat him. In McGuire and Farrell Washington has the best pair of batting catchers in the league; and among all the infielders of the league only four have hit harder than De Montreville. Selbach is the leading run-getter of the club, having scored 114 times. The ‘“‘Baron’’ | aiso leads in base running, not over half a dozen players in the league leading him in the number. of bases stolen. George Wrigley leads In sacrifice hitting, and De Montreville is the only player who has taken‘ part in every game of the sea- son. In the following table of batting averages the record is given of every player who has worn a Washington uniform during the season. Four games played by Tucker as a member of the Boston club are included, as are several games played by Leahy as a Pittsburg player. The record: Batting.

Cincinnati Cleveland Brookiyn . Washington Pittsburg Chicago Philadel Washington Broke Even on the Balti- more Series. The game at Baltimore Saturday be- tween the Senators and Orioles was placed to the credit of the former, after playing eight innings, by the score of 6 to 3. Roger Bresnehan was sent to the rubber for the Senators, but through poor support behind him it was thought best to retire him in favor of Swaim. Hillary. had his ccnfidence and speed with him and al- though considerable guying was indulged in, the big boy kept at his work with a hearty good will and as a result had the Orioles guessing through the remaining seven innings of the game. Amcle did the twirling for the Baltimores and clearly demonstrated that he is a pitch- er of the first rank. As usual a left hander proved a big handicap for the Senators, but they managed to bunch a few lucky hits in the‘ fifth inning and through this sgurt cinched the game. Both teams fielded well, with the exception of iittle De- Mont at second, who seemed to have con- siderable trouble with speedy grounders in the first couple innings, but after that he pulled himself together and did his usual brilliant work. The base running of Selbach was a fea- ture of the game, the little German com- ing all the way home frem second on a hit_by DeMont toward Clarke at first base. It took a slide of twenty feet to pull the run, but Selbach shot over the plate like a flash and Bowerman lost him. Temmy Tucker's and was in a terrible bruised condition and Farrell relieved him on the initial bag. Jennings, Keeler and Doyle were again out of the game, but it made little difference, as ‘the substitutes made the game interesting by their hard ard enthusiastic playing. An extremely smail gathering was at the park, the contingent from Washington being as large as the local attendance and, as for noise, the visiting fans simply tore things loose and brightened up an other- wise sleepy contest. The weather was raw nd cold, the spectators huddling over back of the Washington club’s bench, and took turns at urg:ng on their respective’ favorites. Umpire Hurst was slow report- ing at the grounds and Corbett and Reilly omiciated for an inning, but the latter's work was poor and it was a good thing for the Senators that Hurst reported. The victory tied the Washingtons and Brook- lyms for sixth place. Notes of the Game. When Swaim went into the box in the third inning Joe Kelley was the first bat- ter up, and he immediately started to guy Hillary, to the amusement of the Baltimore people. But Swaim furnished the fun for the Washington fans when he made a monkey ef Kelley by striking him out. Captain Tom Brown took his wife and little girl over to Baltimore-to see the last game, the latter sitting on the players’ bench as a mascot, and proved a lucky one. McGraw objected to the little girl, saying: “Come, Tom, we can’t win this game if you are going to ring in fairies as mas- |} cots.” “That's just what we want,” replied Brown. “We need this game and we are going to get it.” Presilert Von Der Horst and Earl Wag- isis | Mer took seats among the Washington root- ers, but the noise was too much for the two magnates. When they deserted the crowd for more quiet seats a great yell went up. Zeke Wrigley made a great stop in the fifth inning and got his man at second. The ball was extremely swift and held the has practically led the league batsmen | &TOUnd persistently, but just as the short throughout the season, July being the only month in which he dropped below the .400 mark. A singular fact about the cham- pion’s achievement is that, although he batted for 27 doubles and 10 triples, he failed to score a home run in the season's play. Manager Clarke of Louisville is sec- end in the list, and Burkett has finally dis- placed Delehanty for third honors. De Montreville again leads the Washington club with an average about equal to his '96 record. Boston, with ten men in the .300 class, leads the league; Baltimore and Washing- ton have 8 each; New York, 7; Cincinnati, 6; Cleveland, 6; Brooklyn, 5; Pittsburg, 5; Chicago, 6; Philadelphia, 4; St. Louis, 4, and Louisville, 3—making a total of 71 bats- men within the .300 class. “Tom” McCreery of the Louisville and New York clubs has made the most sacri- fice hits—32. Tenrey of Boston is second, with 29. In fact, the Boston club as a whole shows up well as sacrifice hitters, while the Baltimore players, with the ex- ception of Jennings and Kelley, have ap- parently tabooed this style of play for the hit-and-run game. Lange of Chicago again leads the base runners, having 78 stolen bases to his cred- it. Stenzel of Baltimore is second with 71. Duffy has made the greatest number of home runs (11); Davis of Pittsburg, three- base hits (29), and Stenzel, two-base hits (45). Lajoie of Philadelphia is, however, the champion “slugger.” The Frenchman has hit for 39 doubles, 24 triples and § home runs—a total of 308 singles.

The record is that 8f players who have | of st. stop reached for it the ball took an ugly bound and struck him in the face. Zeke recovered himself instantly and tossed the ball to De Mont. . The two new men drafted from the New England League, Donovan and Todd, are both pitchers, the latter being a left-hand- er. Both men were well recommended, and as Mr. Wagner has had ‘luck with young pitchers, he concluded to take a chance on these men. Stenzel in center field played like a man with a thousand dollars advance money in sight. Nothing seemed too hard for bim; the short and long flies he pulled down, knocking the Senators eut of about six additional runs.

BASE BALL NOTES. The first game of the Temple cup series will be played today in Boston, Corbett and Nichols teing the opposing pitchers. The first game in Baltimore will be played next Saturiay. A little harder playing by the Senators might have cinched the sixth place. With eny kind of pitching McJames should have pulled off his last two games. Next sca- son Jimmy's carelessness will cest him a stiff fine. President Von Der Horst remarked to The Star reporter in the Carrollton Hotel Saturday afternoon that there would not be one new player drafted for the Orioles or any of the regular nine sold. He says McGraw has had an off year, and will be all right next season, and he was the only player about whom there has been any talk of releasing. The Baltimore enthusiasts are terribly sore over the loss of the pennant, and ii is doubtful if paying crowds turn out to wit- | ness the Teraple cup series. All sorts of foolish charges are made against Hanlon and, Vou der Horst, the fans, in their sore- ness, losing sight of the fact that the Bos- ton club’s strength in the pitcher’s box is what landed the pennant for them. Manager Buckenberger received $500 as a resent from the proprietor of the Syracuse club because the team won the Eastern League championship. Earl Wagner is quoted as saying that abovt August i he offered Manager Han- len McJames and DeMontreville if Mr. Hanlon would allow him to take his choice among Kelley, Doyle and McGraw at the end of the season. He said Mr. Hanlon reft'sed.—Baltimore Sun. Regarding the alieged drafting of Hanni- van by Washington Barnie says that Han- nivan has already been sold to Syracuse by Brooklyn. He says that Hannivan was released outright to Lancaster, but toward the end of the season his release was again bought and the player transferred to Syra evse in the deal for Catcher Ryan.—Brook- lyn Eagle. The Indianapolis and Columbus players held a conference last night at Columbus and decided not to play out the cup series, the Indianapolis men refusing to play any mcre games except on their own grounds. The players of both teams were anxious to return to their respective homes, and the Columbus team agreed to give Indian- apolis the cup, ie Hoosiers having won three out of the five games played. Each Player received about $75 over expenses in the cup series out of the receipts. Manager Selee gave his reason for allow- ing six of his best men to go homé Friday night that he was anxious to win the Tem- ple cup series and wanted to have his team in good shape, and he thought the boys were badly in need ofa few days’ rest, especially the infielders and Bergen and Nichols, whe had stood the brunt of the hard, long fight. Messages frém President Wagner and Manager Tom Brown, urging Selee and Duffy to put in their best men and beat Brooklyn as a favor to them were too late, as the boys had started for home. “We have a pretty fair team, and will try and win frem Brooklyn tomorrow,” said Manager Selee. Capt. Duffy sald that while he would like to do Tom Brown a favor, yet he thought the Boton club had considerable at stake, and could not take a chance of overworking the heroes who had gone home for a rest. While the sympathy of Messrs. Wagner and Brown of Washington, D. C.; was with Boston against Baltimore, the fact remains that it was the Washington club that did most to injure Boston's chsences. On the last trip of the Boston club to Washington, the visitors were given the small end of several decisions by a local umpire, which resulted in the loss of a game to Boston. Mercer, who had the distinction of defeating Baitimore yester- day, worked as never before to get the crewd to howl, in hove of breaking up the Boston pitchers, while Tucker and McGuire did more “inside” ball playing against Bos- ton this season than ever was attempted by the Baltimore players.—Boston Globe.

While it is too early to form much of an opinion, it is the belief of competent judg: who have watched the work of the team Curing the pest few years that it will ex- cel its excellent standard attained in the pest, and that it will be able to hold its own on the gridiron with any of the local teams. The team will undoubtedly be much stronger and heavier than heretofore, and, under careful coaching, will prove a powerful factor in the race for the local championship. So far twenty-one men have responded to the call for candidates. The men work- ing for positions on the line assure an ex- ceedingly strong front. Harlan, who piay- ed cenier last year, will in ali probability be found in the same position this yeu He will be flanked by two excellent me | both stalwart players, with no little ex- perience.

It is | Possible that Selhousen may play at center |ard Harlan be made a guard. ‘There a number of excellent pros- pective tacklers, from whom two star play- ers cau secured to back up the guards. “Tubby” Loucks, than whom it is not be- lieved there is a better tackler in the city, can easily secure a regular position with the proper kind of an effort, and the other tackler will probably be either Shuster, who played the position last year, or Meigs, who alternated as tackle and half back last season. Both men are gritty, experi. enced ex-High School players, and a h race is expected from them for the honor, Coleman, a good new man, and Woolford are also strong possibilities for the plac The end candidates are most numerous, anil no doubt is entertained as to the pros- | pects of securing two superb men. Rye, an excellent new man, who bas seen ex- perience at Princeton; Beard, who played beth end and half-back last year; Shuster, Ecker and Meigs all have equal chances. Behind the line Columbian will be equal- | ly strong. Beall, last year’s quarter back, wil have to struggle hard to retain his place, as Jolly and Kelly, who have been star players on the Central and East High School teams for the past couple years, have entered in competition ag shim. It is generally thought, howe that fhese men are 100 light and small to oust Beall. Another crack ex-high school player will be found at balf back in the person of Phil Tindall, that unassuming player who has won laurels galore on the foot ball field. Weaver, last year's full back, who resigns that position in favor of Granville Lewis, will have to contest the other half back position with Falls, 4 a. eard, stitute at this position last year; Leech, Young, Halford and Ecker, jfcur named all being new men. that well-seasoned, wary player, who he made such an excellent record for him- self on the teams of the Business High School, when it was most formidabl years ago, and the Maryland Agricultural College, will probably be the best acquixi- tien to the team, and will be a tower of strength at full back. The practice since organizing has cor- sisted of signal werk, developing speed ard accuracy in starting, acquiring the pri ciples of interference, tackling, kicking and falling on the ball. The principal fait is the slow and listless playing of some few men, but it is thought that this will soon be remedied, as the men have not yet fully caught the spirit of the game, nor the tm- portance of team work, and have not yt realized that they will have to fight againet (Continued on Ninth Page.) 2 SSCS 0 S OCSS EES SOSGERT EL ; We Are Ready To 3 esend Your Carpet Out! 3) ec] a a a This is the greatest Carpet or interest. 2 ce] 9 @ 2] 3] a :
