Washington Fans Welcome Senators Home After West Win
Washington baseball fans plan a grand reception for the Senators returning from the west. The team will play on the home lot this afternoon and a record crowd is expected in Washington. Schaefer of the Senators is lauded for his coaching and humor on the bench. Shanks earns praise for his defense and speed, while Bresnahan reshuffles the Cardinals to bolster the pennant run. The Pelicans’ manager Frank faces waiver requests as Atz, Hendryx, and Butcher shift positions to strengthen the club. Averages show Plank and Marquard as leading pitchers, Milan and Doyle top base stealers, Speaker and Bescher top run producers, and Philadelphia and Pittsburgh leaders in batting and sluggers. The Southern League Crackers are expected to rise with new additions. Johnny Dobbs’ Billikens boast a mixed roster ready to challenge rivals.
