Among the many reasons assigned by Wash- ingtonians for the defeat of the Statesmen on Saturday by the Phillies by the score of 14 to1 there is none better than that they could not hit Buffinton, while O'Day was wild as well as ineffective. In addition the superb fielding of the victors Snly heightened the contrast af- forded by that of their opponents—by no means of the same quality. Each one of the out- fielders made an error and Sweeny, who played third base, made two. Hallman’s, the only misplay of the Phillies, did not aid in the soli- tary run of the Statesmen, which was earned. The batting was all on the side of the Phila- delphias, although some of the Statesmen did manage to find the ball once in a great while. Shoch made a couple of hits, and Hoy, Carney, Myers, Wise, and Mack each one, making seven inall. On the other band, their nents not only hit often, but very hard. Delehanty made a triple and three singles, Clements a home run and two singles, Fogarty two doubles, and so on until the total of safe hits was swelled to sixteen. Mac retired from behind the bat in the seventh inning and Banning took his place. O'Day gave nine men bases on balls and bit another. OTHER GAMES, Cleveland defeated Indianapolis by harder hitting, 4 to 2. Beatin and Sutcliffe and Get- zein and Daily were the batteries. The infants made 11 hits aud 2 errors, and the Hoosiers 7 hits'and 2 errors. Boston took a game from New York by a scratch, 4 to 3, scoring three runs in the 8th on a wild throw by, Murphy and a muff by Connor. Hattield and Murphy, and Clarkson and Bennett were the batteries. Boston made 4 hits and 2 errors, and New York 9 hits and 2 errors, Chicago defeated Pittsburg in the latter part of the game, 11 to7. Morris, Maul, and Carroll, and Hutchmson and Farrell’ occupied the points. Chicago made 12 hits and 3 errors, and Pitts- burg 7 hits and 2 errors, AtSt. Louis—St. Louis 20, Baltimore 4.

THE COMING SERIES. Indianapolis here, Chicago at Philadelphia, Cleveland at New York, Pittsburg at Boston. This willbe the first battle between the east and the west. Heretofore there has been no starfiiard by which to judge the merits of the two sections, Each has had a little picnic by itself, in which one club has pounded another without much reference to pitchers, But now will come a decisive test, from out of which it is generally thought the east will come off victori- | ous. Seven of the league clubs are very closely | bunched, so that two games either way will cause a scurrying up and down the ladder. | But while all this hurry and change of place takes place the Senators pursue a dignified course, going on in the even tenor of their way with a supreme indifference to place-hunt- | ing. They start the week with a percentage of 167, several points ahead of Louisville in the -association. Whitney will pitch and Hines will play first base to-day for the Hoosiers, THE HOME TEAM. Charges have been published that members j of the Washington team have been drinking and carousing since the opening of the leagug, season, and that this is responsible to a large tent for the poor record of the club thus far. President Hewett.when asked about the matter | by a Svag reporter to-day, stated emphaticall that the management was ignorant of any suc condition of affairs, and expressed indignation | that the reputation of all the members of the team should have been unjustly attacked. “I think it but due to the management, the team, and the public,” said Mr. Hewett, “that the person making the charge of intemperance | against the men should at once substantiate the charge. If there is any such condition of affairs we want to know it, in order that we may discipline the guilty ones. We know that one man Was drinking aud be was fined and re- leased. We will unhesitatingly mete out | severe punishment to any others that are found guilty of like misconduct. But I don’t think it | is right to hit all the men in the dark.” WHAT MANAGER MORRILL SAYS, Manager Morrill said yestorday: “It would be bad enough if it were true, but itis ten times worse since it is absolutely untrue. I have never (oh ball with as sober, quiet, orderly or easily managed a team in my life.” He is very much grieved to think that the ill-luck that has followed the club should be ascribed to such a cause, foreign as it is to the real itis of things. Not j very many ago the management | bethonght itself of a plan to make a test case of | one man, who is, perhaps, the strongest possi- | bility in this line on the team. Every move- ment he made was watched for a week, and, | utterly unconscious that he was being observed, | he carried himself in the most upright manner, drinking not even a glass of soda water, nor entering @ bar-room during the entire period. In view of this fact and Manager Morrill’s con- fidence in the sobriety of his men, it is only fair to the team to call for better treatment. President Young has received a telegram from the Cleveland people stating that they | waived all claim to the services of Catcher Daly, late of Chicago. This will leave Daly free to sign with Washington. Philadelphia has released John G. Kirby. STILL CONFIDENT. President Hewett is greatly disappointed that the Senators should have met with such poor success, but he is not cast down, and promises that his team shall yet make them- selves felt. He has an eye to strengthening his club, and in a short time the public may hear something that will revive confidence, notwithstanding that Irwin was not secu om Philadelphia, possastiee ribs €* The difference between a loose vague boast and an affidavit giving exact figures is a wide one, and of great significance to a person interested in the statement.

Impressive Masonic ceremonies attended the last tribute of respect paid to the memory of the late Edward Fitzki. Saturday night at 12 | o'clock the offices at the obsequies of a Knight Kadosh were celebrated in the cathedral of the | Scottish Rite Masons, 1007 G street.

Taylor, a member of Ex- celsior Lodge, No. 17, in splendid style—P. C. P. Richard Sorrell, acting as C.P. At the next regular meeting of this encampment the golden rule degree will be conferred upon two candidates. Additional interest will be given to the occasion by the semi-annual grand visi- tation of the grand patriarch and other officers of the Grand Encampment, when the officers of the encampment will be examined both in the written and unwritten work, with the view of testing their proficiency in the proper dis- charge of their respective duties, All patriarchs in good standing are cordially invited to be present. Mt. Nebo Encampment, No. 6, will meet in regular session Wednesday night, the 15th inst., that being the night designated by the grand patriarch for paying the semi-annual id visitation, and a very interesting meet- ing will be the result. A distinguished P. G. P. and P. G. Rep. of one of the western states will be present, with other visitors, who will give the encampment some interesting remi- niscences of the west. Fred D. Stuart encampment, No. 7, the in- fant in years of the family of encampments in this District, will meet on Tuesday night next, the 14th inst., in regular session. All patriarchs in good standing who can find time should at- tend this meeting. Although thi: the in- fant, chronologically speaking, it is, if not the giant, next to the giant of the family of the patriarchal branch, and possesses among her membership many of the brightest and best Odd Fellows in the District, and executes the work in its entirety with an exactitude not ex- ceeded by any other. - Magenenu Encampment, No. 4, at its regular meeting last Friday mght, had no special work on hand, except the exhibition and inspection of the new costumes for the officers of the de- gree staff about organizing in that encampment of active, working Odd Fellows, The costumes are from the firm of Lilley & Co., Columbus, Ohio, and speak volumes on the part of the en- campment purchasing so beautiful and costly an outfit.

The severe shower which came up last Fri- day evening caused the postponement of the promised entertainment of Meridian Com- mandery, No. 178, U. O. G. C., there being but asmall attendance.

There was a centennial service in Pohick church yesterday and the occasion was made the more interesting by the presence thereat of a number of the lady regents of Mount Ver- non, who are now in session at Washington's old home. Rev. Dr. Wallis is the rector of the antique sanctuary in which the first Presi- dent of the United States was accustomed to worehip, but yesterday morning he gave place to Rev. Dr. Philip Slaughter, Virginia's venera- ble histriographer, who preached an eloquent and appropriate ‘sermon from the text “A greater than Solomon is here.” Numerous in- teresting scraps of history in connection with the formation of the neighboring parishes were made public, and the doctor related the differ- ences of opinion which existed between George Washington and George Mason as to the location of the present structure of Pohick church. The vestry finally settled the dispute by building the new edifice just midway be- tween Gunston and Meunt Vernon, so that the two disputants would have to travel precisely the same distance to attend service. The doc- tor then sketched the connection of Washing- ton with the growth of the aarngy and closed with beauiiful rythmic tribute to the great man. The lady regents who attended the service were Mrs. Laughton, Mrs. Townsend, Miss Cornegys, Mrs. Ball, Mrs. Lewis Washington, Mrs. Rathbone, Mrs. Pickens, representing re- spectively the states of Pennsylvania, New ‘ork, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, Michigan and North Carolina, prciancthsesa-t suena Buried at Arlington.

It is the best medicine to keep the blood pure and toexpel the germs of scrofula, salt rheum, and other poisons which csuse so much suffering, and sooner or later undermine the general health, By its peculiar curative power, Hood’s Sarsaparilla strength- ens the system while it eradicates disease, It ia the People’s favorite spring medicine, HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA, “I know that Hood's Sarsaparilla has restored my health and prolonged my days. I was feeling badly for slong time, my trouble being s general nervous pros- tration accompanied with chills and fever. After tak- ing five bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla I felt so well as to be able to do my own housework. Iam as well now ‘as any one of my age, 82 years." MRS. M. E. THORP, St. Albans, Vt. MAKES THE WEAK STRONG. “Ihave been for yearsa great sufferer from severe nervous headache, but never found any relief till I be- gan to use Hood's Sarsaparilla. Before the second bottle was gone my headaches were not so severe nor so frequent, Iam just beginning the fourth bottleand have not felt so well for years, The confused dizzy feeling in the head is absolutely gone, and my general health is wonderfully improved.” MRS.
