It's Thursday, May 15, and the Nats are sinking against class opponents, with Oyster Joe Martinha losing 6 - 4. The Nats hit, today, but not enough to match the Indians five-run 8th. Martinha had a lead, but gave up a double, single, walk, single, single, and, finally, a triple. Nats got a couple runs back in the bottom half, but Muddy Ruel hit into an inning-ending double play.

Nats had a better fielding day, with no errors, for once.

Senators (my name for them) fall to 11 - 14, but still only four games behind the Yankees. And still at the bottom of the pack chasing NY, in 7th, but not so far back. The Browns only .5 back of New York, by the way.
