How the Senators Won a Game from the Philadelphia Team. A tremor shook the earth in the vicinity of Washington yesterday evening. It was not an earthquake, nor was it the firing of guns, but it could be directly traced to the astounding news that pulsed over the wires late in the afternoon and told the long-expectant, half-hoping, al- most discouraged base ball people of the Dis- trict that the unfortunate Washington base- ball club had actually succeeded in winning a game, after losing eight in succession. Those who heard this were at first inclined to disbe- lieve, to think that their informants were joking, but the facts persisted until they had worked themselves into a secure foundation of credence. The victims were the Philadelphians, who are in the race for the pennant, and are, therefore greatly chagrined to think that the tail-enders, goose-eggers, had beaten them by the seore of 9 to 6, for such were the figures thereof. HOW IT WAS DONE. The Statesmen won the game by means of harder, better batting, and sharper, more effective team work in the field. The Phillies lost because of their inability to hit the ball when they most needed to, and played with a lack of that all-together quality that has dis- tinguished them in games gone by. In a word they felt Irwin's absence wofully. ‘The batteries were Haddock and Mack, and Casey, Gleason and Clements. Haddock's work was his first of the championship season, and it was as fine as could be desired. The Phillies hit him hard, but he managed to keep their hits sufficiently scattered to prevent them from doing very much damage. The first inning was begun as though it were to be the same old story, and by means of a base on balls, three singles, and Wise’s error, the Phillies scored thrice. But in the Statesmen’s half they tallied even, and scored their three on Wood's fumble, singles by Shoch and Myers, and a double by Sam Wise. Then in the second Donnelly went to first on balls, stole second, and scored on Hoy’s single. In the third the Philadelphians scored one when Fogarty hit for three bases, and Mul- vey for two. But the Statesmen kept right along in their progress for, says the Philadel- phia Press, “‘the visitors, like the man grasp- ing at the last straw. went into the game with a determination to do or die. They had not won a game and were long overdue to do so.” Hence in their half of the third they began again and banged the ball some more, scoring tl » times. Myers hit safely and Sam Wise lifted the ball over the wall for a home run, Donnelly let four bad balls g» over the plate. and scored when Andrews failed to catch Mack's long fly. The Phillies, nothing daunted, did some more run-getting in the fourth, scor- ing once on a base on balls, a steal, a passed bail, and Wood's fly out. This made the score 7 to 5, and the game was interesting. The Statesmen could not strike a combination again until the seventh inning, when they made two runs. Donnelly hit to left center for three bases, and then Mack, Haddock, and Hoy each hit safely for a ba The last expiring effort of the Phillies home-run hit ty Farrar in the cighth inning, and the game was won by the Senators, WHAT IS SAID IN PHILADELPRIA, Iphia Enquirer says of the game: elphia club lost a game to Wash- ington yesterday because of the absence of a competent captain, Had John Montgomery Ward or Arthur Irwin been playing on the team the game would have been won. There was a lamentable lack of team work, and the ‘Senators’ were given enough runs to win the game. True, the visitors hit hard and often, but enough chances were offered to cut down their seore three or four runs, but none of them were accepted. It was a strange thing to see the crowd of 2,500 cheering for the visiting club, yet such was the case. More thana majority of those present hoped that Washing- ton would win after the second inning, and whenever a ‘Senator’ was on base such re- marks as ‘I hope he gets in,’ ‘I hope he makes abit, ‘Iwish he would make a home run,’ were heard all over the ground. John Morrill’s cheery coaching left no doubt in the minds of the people as to who was cap- tain of the Washingtons, and was in direct con- trast to Fogarty’s silence. pr ‘There were two features of the game. wal aft One ‘splendid team work of the Senators » first inning and the other was their ¢. They made 15 hits, 4 off Casey in two sand 11 off Gleason. Wise led the bat- th 4 hits, includinga home run and a two-baser Haddock pitched for the visitors, and while he was hit hard he was effective at critical points. Of the Phillies’11 hits Mulvey made 4, one for two bases. It was a good fielding game, and every one of Sam Wise's three errors were excusable, all being made on hard chances.” OTHER GAMES YESTERDAY. Boston whitewashed the Giants by the score of 7 to0 in the presence of 10,000 people. Crane and Brown and C jon and Bennett were the batteries. Boston made 9 hits and 4 errors and New York 6 hits and 9 errors. The Cleveland scalped the Hoosiers, 8 to 6. batteries were Beattin and Sutcliffe and Getzein and Bu . The Infants made 11 hits and 3 errors al ndianapolis 12 hits and 7 errors, Pittsburg downed Chicago, 3 to 2, by means of an accident in the ninth inning, two fielders colliding in such a manner that the winning run wasscor Chicago made 5 hits and 3 errors and Pittsburg 10 hitsand 5errors, Staley and Miller and Krock and Flint were the bat- teries.

The Philadelphia Inquirer has the following comments this morning: “The Phillies need a captain.” “Johu Morrill is an ideal captain. “Sanders will probably pitch for the Phillies to-day.” “Yesterday's game was thrown away by the Philadelphia management.” “The ‘Senators’ showed what good team work amounted to after the first inning.” “The question for the Philadelphia manage- ment to decide is whether the team is stronger with Irwin or Andrews on it.” “The managers of the Philadelphia club should remember that ground lost now will be very hard to recover later in the season when all the clubs will be playing their best.” WASHINGTON’S POSITION, This last is peculiarily applicable to our situ- ation here. The eight zeros make a formida- ble background, and im some breasts all hope is lost. But it must be remembered that there are three clubs that have lost seven games each and have won buta very few more than the one of which Washington is so proud to-day. For instance: Chicago has won five and lost seven. Alittie more good luck here, three or four more games won, and we shall be in easy reach- ing distance of at least one club, if not two more. The fierce fight in progress between Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Pittsburg, ali for first place, will operate greatly in favor of the home club in its hour of need. The Philadelphia public is howling for three or four things at once. One faction wants Ir- win released unconditionally. A larger crowd want him retained, and a strong voice is heard for his exchange for John Ward. It is possible that President Hewett may be able to make a bargain in this by selling his option on Ward for a man of some ability. At the present time Mr. Reach says emphatically that Irwin has not been released. President Davidson, of the Louisville base- ball club, last nignt announced that the club is on the market, and unless disposed of ina few days he will disband and sell the players. He is disgusted. —.—__. Whisky Drinker and Wife Beater.

THE RACE PROBLEM. Proposed Conference of Colored Lead- ers and its Plans. The plan of holding a conference of colored men early in the fall is now being canvassed. Anumber of the leading colored men in the country have been consulted. It is represented that the material interests of the race would be advanced by a meeting of its representative men. The emigration movement, which is said to be well advanced in North Carolina, has as- sumed a phase which may cause it to become general in the southern states. The promoters of this conference think that such a general uprising as seems-to be imminent should be in- telligently conducted, and they believe that in this particular, as well as in others, that @ meeting of representative men to consider such questions would be of value. THE POLITICAL SITUATION. It is not disguised that in the event that such a conference is held that the political situation will be discussed. This will especially be the case because of the belief entertained bya num- ber of colored men that the emigration move- ment and other evidences of race dissatisfac- tion is increased by what is thought to bea disposition on the part of the present tration to ignore the claims of the colored peo- ple. The leaders in the movement do not pro- rose to define the policy of the President. ‘hey frankly admit that he has done nothing as yet to enable a one to say what will be his Pole relative to the colored people. But the fear is expressed that he will persue a course which will cause political lines to be drawn more strictly on a question of color, and that the obliteration of the color line in politics will be delayed. IN WASHINGTON. Some of the prominent colored men in this city with whom a Star reporter talked expressed the opinion that President Cleveland’s efforts to bring about a political union of the two races had been productive of good, There is no doubt a strong feeling that the President is not going to recognize the colored people to any ‘eat extent in the distribution of the offices. Bat while there ~is still uncertainty on this point no action will be taken. It is thought that by the fallthe purposes of the President will be known, and then if his policy is not re- garded with favor by the colored people the conference can take action, which some now predict will go so far as to refuse to affiliate any longer with the republican party. This view of the situation is regarded by several in- telligent men as forage the expression of dis- content on the part of those who want office and are afraid that the President is not going to gratify their desires, —o—___ THE DISTRICT VOLUNTEERS. The First Blood Shed in the War to Preserve the Union was Theirs. After the adjournment of Charles P. Stone Post, No. 11, Grand Army of the Republic, last evening, a mass meeting was held, at which ad- dresses were made by Gen. E. C. Carrington, Commander R. J. Beall, Inspector Wood, and Messrs, Young, Hayes, and Sprague. Gen. Carrington gave some interesting remi- niscences of the few months preceding the inaug- uration of President Lincoln, referring to the mass meeting of citizens held at the assembly rooms (Copp’s saloon) in January, 1861, at which the late Richard S. Coxe presided, and at which strong resolutions vor of the Union were adopted. That meeting was opened with prayer by the late Rev. Dr. Gurley. Gen, Car- rington claimed that the first prayer for the Union cause and the first appeal to arms to aid in the inauguration of Lincoln were made at the meeting in the assembly rooms, and that the result the formation of the Union Vol- unteers and the recruiting of the regular uni- formed militia with the view of defending the District. He also claimed that the District had furnished a larger Rereentage of troops than any of the states, and that the first blood shed in the war was that of District men; also, that the first cannon-shot fired ata foe was dis- charged at the confederates who fired the light- boat at Lower Cedar Point. That shot was fired by District volunteers on the steamer Mount Vernon, before the attack on the Massa- chusetts troops in Baltimore. While this claim might be regarded as egotistical, the speaker being one of the volunteers, it was not only due the men concerned that these true state- ments should be made, but that their children and grandchildren should have the benefit of them. ‘The other speakers spoke in complimentary terms of the services of the three months’ men, many of whom enlisted in regiments from the states. while others served in the first and second District regiments and the District cavalry. The appointment of Corporal Tanner, as commissioner of pensions, was alluded to asa graceful recognition of the enlisted men of the war. The speakers all indorsed the efforts made to have the services of the District men recognized by voting them a bounty. The meeting adjourned with cheers for Gen. Carrington and the District volunteers. Sad Accident to an Old Lady. Mrs. Martin, an old and respected lady, eighty-two years old, who resides at 1208 5th street northwest, while transplanting some flowers in her yard Tuesday morning, fell and broke her left arm and dislocated her shoulder joint. Drs. Henderson and Mauss were called and gave her ether and reduced the dislocation and set the broken bone, This morning she is reported as doing well. > The Washington Light Infantry Corps. At the regular meeting of the Light Infantry corps last night Jos. K. Zimmerman, A. W. Hen- dricks, H. A. Graham, and C, E. Kinsey were elected active members, Col. Moore made a ghort speech, in which he highly complimented the corps on their fine appearance and gentle- manly behavior while they were in New York, and a committee was appointed to draft suita- ble resolutions of thanks to be sent to the thir- teenth Brooklyn in remembrance of their kind- ness in receiving and entertaining the corps. 6 committee on excursions was directed to open the summer campaign by making ar- rangements for a series of excursions. The new constitution was ordered to be printed. A committee, with Capt. Nailor as chairman, was appointed to decorate the graves of the de- ceased members of the corps on the 30th, <— Mr. Tulloch’s Statement. Mr. Seymour W. Tulloch writes to Taz Stan as follows, relative to the announcement of his appointment at a meeting of the Committee of One Hundred ona committee to wait on the President and protest against the appointment of Mr. Jesse B, Wilson as District Commis- sioner: “I have never attended a meeting of the Committee of One Hundred; have never been a member of the committee, and the use of my name, as it appeared in the report of a meeting in Tue Star of last evening, was not only un- kind to Mr. Wilson and his friends, but en- tirely unauthorized by myself.” ——_——.

The New York Tribune, to-day, says: When Collector Erhardt assumei the duties of his position he supposed that he possessed the power to appoint the same classes of officials, independent of civil-service regulations, as had the democratic collectors, Hedden and Magone. He has been somewhat surprised to learn that there is an amended rule under which all posi- tions the salary of which is more than $900 a year must be filled by civil-service competitive examination, except those of the deputy col- lectors, the auditor, the cashier, the disbursing officer, the collector's private secretary, and one confidential clerk, In the naval office the deputy naval officer and controller alone are excepted. In the surveyor’s department the deputy surveyor and the private secretary are the only places not to be filled by the civil- service board, “When was this change made?” a Tribune re- porter asked of a high government official, ey, before the election,” was the an- swer—‘when the democrats began to fear that they had lost the battle.
