St. Louis Pittsburg. 28 By defeating the Louisville Colonels yes- terday the Washington team won its fifth Straight victory and exchanged eleventh for @rth place in the league race with the visitors. Unless the Kentuckians put up a much better game than they did yester- day the senatorial team will take the re- maining three games, and, in all likelihood, jump into ninth place. The visitors were not only outhatted, but they also failed to display much energy after the first few in- nings, their efforts being rather amateurish. Selbach led in batting, getting five hits out of six times at the bat. Mercer was sent to the rubber, making his first appearance since the return of the Senators. The visitors started in as if they intended a slau ter, scoring two runs off four hits in the first y failed to get more than one safety in inning, their two runs in the sixth in- ning being due to two errors, the only ones charged against the home team, and single. Fraser, who started in to pitch for the Colonels, was retired at the close of the fifth inning, when the home people had secured four runs, Dowling taking his place. The change was hardly a lucky one, for the left-hander was hit safely five times in his first inning, which, in connection with two errors on the part of the Bour- bens, gave the locals six runs. In the next inning the home push made further connec- tions with the Kentucky twirler and added three runs to their score. Doyle still being indisposed, McGuire took his place at first, again playing the initial bag in fine e, his error being due more to anxiety than to anything else. Farrell caught a magnificent game, but ase being purloined off him, he hav- en put-outs to his credit. The play however, was Gettman’s s long fly in the third inning, when the Russian ran his hands through a barbed-wire fence and snatched the ball as it was dropping into the bleachers. It was the most daring play ever seen on the home-grounds, and yet Jake got off with- out a seratch > Farrell wrenched his ankle in sliding into third in the eighth inning, and McGuire took his place behind the bat in the last inning, McHale going to_ first. In their half of the final inning Stafford, batting for Dowling, singled to left, but got no further than first, the remaining men being easily put out. In the ope first Colonel ng inning Fred Clarke, the drove a hot one to left 5 and scored on Ritch- s single to right. Hoy struck out, and ie to center put Ritchie on = home on J.

Not unul the fourth inning did the Wash- ington people score. In that inning An- and Farrell were presented with up on A. Wagner's out at » former scored on Reitz’s out runs. Mercer beat out an infield hit, but wes forced by tman’s grounder to Fra- ser. Jake stole second, sliding cleverly, and scored on Selbach’s single to right. Sel- bach stole s and went home on Mc- Guire’s _two-bi tT, which Smith's shins deflected. A. Wagner followed with a two- bagger to right, sending McGuire home. in the sixth inning Dowling faced the Senators and the going was easy.

[) Frazer was taken|out 6f the of illness, Wagner may not bea heavy batter, but as a “pinch” hitter he is strictly all right. McGuire's catch of Wagner's wild throw to first was a brilliant effort and rightfully applauded. 9 Five straight is not so bad; neither is the lanaing of the Senators on the tenth rung of the ladder. Ke>p up the good work. Mercer started off bad, but rounded into good shape after the first inning. The other eleven clubs in the league have evidently “coppered” Winnie's slow ball, and, besides, the umpires lose them as well. Farrell's injury will probably ke>p him out of the game for a week. Today Ander- son will be on first and McHale in center. Anole or Swaim will probably do_ the twirling for the Senators today, with “Red” Ehret on the slab for the Colonzls. ‘The players should get on and off the field and up to the bat quicker. ‘The series with St. Louis and the game yesterday with the Colonels took on a lazy aspsct on this ac- count. Bert Myers, the local player who has re- fused to sign with the Milwauke> club on account of salary, has other admirers be- sides J. Harl Wegner. A special from Mil- waukee says that Manager Stallings of tho Phillies has offered a good price for Bert, and negotiations are now under way be- tween the two clubs. Myers was at the grounds yesterday, and looks to b> in per- feet condition. An enthusiastic soldier from Camp Alger strolled into the grounds yesterday and took up a good position in the left-field fifty-cent seats. He rooted for the Senators Iik> a good fellow and created lots of amusement. Jack Doyle said he reminded one of old “Well! Well!” who used to turn himself loose at the Polo Grounds in New York. Joe Kelley, the well-known local play>r, arrived home Tuesday from Atlanta, Ga., box because | where he has been playing since the season opened. The Southern League went to the wail and Joe is out of a job. Kelley says the trouble down south in base ball circles is that every magnate wants to be president of the league and th> contention resulting therefrom wrecks the organization. Joe s hitting over 490 when the league col- lepsed. He is considering an offer from the Rochest+r club of the Eastern League. Another Washington boy who is doing well is Pitcher Norcom. He is twirling for the Cedar Rapids Western Association team, and in a recent game shut the Ot- tumwa club out without a safe hit. Nor- com is a left-hander, with great spesd and control, and hits hard enough to be played in the field when not pitching. When Gettman made his wonderful catch ef Hoy’s would-be home run kit yesterday his arms wer» thrust between two strands of the barbed wire than runs over the right- field bleacher fence. This gave him practi- cally no leeway. After he had caught the ball and held it secur» he had to release with one hand the undershirt sleeve on the other arm, that had been caught by the barbs. So narrow was his escape from {i in making the catch, and so k judgment in placing hims2If for it, that the barb merely went through the light texture of the garment and did not reach the skin of the arm. It was one of the greatest catches in the history of the game for nerve, accuracy and judgment. Many a Senator trotted up to the rubber during that memorable batting streak in the middle of the game. The “walk-arcund” lasted so long and was so continuous that in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings no less than twenty-six mét faced the pitcher. J. Earl Wagner, whose purse grows fat or thin according to the business done by the turnstiles at the Washington base ball park, was in a thoughtful mood th> other day Cleveland, waiting for the "bus to the t e “I can’t get that little verse from Gilbert out of my head: “See how the fates their gifts allot; A is happy, B is not; Yet B is worthy, I dare say, Of more prosperity than A,” said Mr. Wagner to Elmer Bates of the Cieveland Leader. “In Washington we have the attendance and no elub. Here you have the club but no attendance. If I could trade clubs with Mr. Robison I could play to from 10,000 to 15,000 people a day at the national capital, and could mak» enough money in two seasons to retire and live like a prince. The Indians are likely to win the cham- pionship. They will draw 10,000 and 12,000 patrons to a game down east. Here, alas: they play to a beggarly handful. Gilbert was right. The fates are strangely un- kind.’ Jack Doyle was well enough yesterday to put in an appearance at the park, but took a scat among the spectators. A play by Wrigley at short brought that player un- der discussion, and Doyle remarked to an Evening Star reporter: “Wrigley is one of the best shortstops in the business, but two, or possibly three, of the crack-a-jacks being better. The boy has been under the weather for the past three weeks, but the want of a better man has kept him in the game. Wrigley is very sensitive, his one fault; but jollying will make him play for his life. He has a future before him, and I look for him to be a top-notcher before the son is out if he regains his good health.” FOR THE EVE STAR TROPHY. Annual Field Day of the City High Schools.

The base ball team of Georgetown Uni- versity returned to the city yesterday from 0) yards, kept empty. It is provided with a number of openings with nipples to each of which may be attached a line of ose. The open- ings are all equipped with suitable valves, enabling at any time a line of hose to ve either attached or detached without in any way interfering with the operation of the engine. A large rotary pump is mounted upon the reservoir and forces water direct- ly into the latter, supplying from it all the Mnes of hose which muy be attached. The pump is operated through a set of ¢ wheels by an electric motor. The conduc: ing wires are wound on a veel mounted the trip north, winning five out of six|near the motor in such a Way as tee: games, a record which has never been | able chem to be readily equaled by previous teams.
