How the Senators Captured the Game | The Tennis Tournament for the District Yesterday. GOOD WORK WITH THE STICK—MACK, WILMOT AND Championship Drawing to a Close, There were only three games piayed in the DALY ON TOP—CAN THEY KEEP IT UP?—NEW | District tennis tournament yesterday. In both YORK TAKES SECOND PLACE—THE CHAMPIONSHIP | instances, however, the playing was strong and BECORD—NoTES. The Senators showed that they have become hard hitters by earning a victory from the Hoosiers with their little bats yesterday. They banged the ball all over the turf, and the men from the presidential town were very wea:y when they stopped. Both sides put up a good game in the field, the visitors excelling slightly, but the batting honors were decidedly in favor of the Statesmen, and they won in consequence by the score of 7 to 2 Haddock and Daly and Boyle and Daily were the batteries. The former had far the best of the game, for the Hoosiers were puzzled until the seventh and eighth innings, when they had the Inck to find five hits and save themselves from a whitewash. Our Daly’s work was ificent, and had in it that quality of touch-and-go that infused the whole team with energy. He was the batter of the day, making two singles and a triple. MAKING BUNS, The Senators scored two runs in the first in- ning. Hoy went to first on balls and stole sec- ond. With two men out Wise hit for a single and Hoy scored. Sam stole a base and scored on Irwin's safe little fly just out of the dia- mond. There were no more runs made until the fitth, when the home team won the game by scoring twice. With Haddeck out Hoy again went to first on balls. Wilmot liked the looks of the first ball Boyle gave him, and with a mighty blow sent it sailing over to the club house. The outfielders raced after it in frantic efforts to find it, but Wilmot was tearing around the bases like a locomotive. He reached third in safety and Hoy had scored. The ball was just started back. Some one called for him to come on, aad without a stop Walter dashed home, giving the sphere a great race. He had just slid over the piate when the ball reached it, and Mr. Lynch righteously declared the 't was one of the greatest runs home run on the grounds without clearing the fence—and the enthusiasm that burst forth was tremendous, The visitors began to score in the seventh. when Deuny and Hines hit safely. Hines went to run down and Daily threw badly to second, Denny scoring. The home team paid for this, however, by scoring three earned runs in the eighth. Carney reached third on hisown hit and that of Mack's, Mack soon stole second, and then both men scored on Haddock’s neat two-bagger into left field. Hoy could not to let the game go without making a hit. so he smashed out a single and Haddock seored. In the last half of the inning the visitors earned one run on singles by Bassett and Boyle and a triple by Seery. . GOoD LaTTING, Washington made 14 hits and 2 errors and Indianapolis 8 hits and 1error. Wilmot made a double and a home run, Mack a double and a single, and Irwin and Carney each two singles. Sweeny was the only man who did not make a hit. Wise played a great game at second, mak- ing two put-outs and six assists. Seery didthe best work for the visitors, both at the bat and in the field, making a double and a single and catching five difficult flies. IN OTHER CITIES. Boston simply wiped up the diamond with Pittsburg by the score of 13 tol. The Smoky City boys were veritable chumps at the bat, and were utterly powerless before the bean-eat- ing twirlers, while Boston batted in a way that made the westerners ill, Clarkson and nett and Galvin and Miller were the batteries for five innings, after which Sowders and Gar- field pitched. Galvin was virtually knocked out of the box, but when Clarkson retired not a hit had been made by the visitors. Boston made 16 hits and 2 errors and Pittsburg 1 hit and 3 errors, Johnston made two home runs and a single. New York took the second game and the second place from Cleveland by the score of 4 to 3. Tebeau’s two errors gave the Giants the game. Keefe and Ewing and Gruber and Zimmer were the batteries. New York made 7 hits and 3 errors and Cleveland 7 hits and 2 errors. John Healy pitched a good game for Chicago against Philadelphia, but his opponents won by good luck by the score of 3 tv2. Healey’s catcher was Furrell, and their opponents were Sanders and Schriver. The Phillies made 4 hits and 3 errors and the Ansonians 8 hits and 2 errors, ASSOCIATION GAMES, At Louisville—First game, Louisville, 4; Rrooklyn, 3. Second game—Brooklyn. 8; Louis- ville, 1.

By means of yesterday's victory New York takes second place in the league procession, while Cleveland drops down to third, with Philadelphia marching on toward the bs New York is showing up in great form, and most people believe that the Giants wil! overtake BALL Nores, The Senators have shown a decided improve- ment during the past week. They have won three games out of five, and all by virtue of hard, scientific batting. An improvement in this line is most satisfactory. for with a dozen good hits, nicely bunched, a club can afford to play loosely in the field. In the five games layed this week the home team have made 45 its and 25 errors and their opponents 44 hits and 10 errors, In these five games Mack has made 10 hits, Wilmot 9, Wise 8, Irwin 7. Wilmot leads in length of batting. with a total of 20 bases, Mack has 11 bases, Wise 16, and Irwin 9. Manager Bancroft of the Hoosiers has asked for his release. He says he is tired of leading a losing team, and wants to join his wife, whe is ill. He recommends that the team bo given to Glasscock. A new pitcher named Sullivan is to be tried by Washington. He hails from Boston and has a prestige. He will be played as a sub- stitute for the present. Attorney General Miller and Marshal Rans- dell were spectators of the game yesterday. The Indianapolis players were the guests of the Columbia athletic club last night and many of them took a swim from the float at Analos- a ey play here and on y will be succeeded by the Pittsbi who, if they continue their present rate ball playing, are Holloway independent temple, Miss Annie K.

This was espe- cially the cage in the game between ‘MR. WOODWARD AND MR. MENOCAL. Both of these gentlemen enjoy well-earned reputations as tennis players, Mr. Woodward, however, was affected by the intense heat of the past week, and did not play as good a game as he usually does. Mr. Menocal, who is a kind of a salamander, his friends say, does not mind the heat. He always plays well, but yesterday he played unusually well. His steady, sure strokes counted pointe right along. Woodward | did not piay as bard a game as he generally does, and it was admitted that he hard luck in placing the balls. Ho’ allow contest to be, by any means, one sided. It was only decided after three sets had been played. Menocal was the winner, the score being: 1-4, 3-6, 6-1. The result of this game places Mr. Menocal in the finals, and ree or at 4 o'clock he will play Boag for the first prize. THE PLAYING FOR THE THIRD PRIZE was begun by those players who had been de- feated in the tournament by either Menocal or Boag. Shiebley beat T. P. Borden by a score of 6-4, 6-4. In the doubles Boag and Byrnes beat Chilton and Goodfellow, the score being 2-6, 62, 7-5. To-day Boag and Byrnes nre to play Wooten and Sheibly, and the winners will play Wood- ward and McCawley in the finals. THE TOURNAMENT A GREAT SUCCESS, As the tournament draws toa close the inter- est in the result increases. The contests throughout have been fine exhibitions of tennis playing, and the toarnament is regarded’as one of the most successful ever held in this tity. Mr. Cram was t era f taken sick as a re+ sult, the doctor thinks, of exposure to the sum during the tournament. He will therefore be unable to play for the third prizes. Among the specta' of yesterday's fames were the British minister, Sir Julian Paunce- fote, and Mr. Edwardes of the legation. The’ British minister has not merely a theoretical knowledge of the game, but he is also a player. He occasionally plays a game on the grounds on Connecticut avenue, which are controlled by Mr. Edwardes. While the representative of the English government is not as active as some of the younger members of the legation, he plays a very good game. THE BOYs’ TOURNAMENT. The scores in the boys’ tennis tournament, | which was begun yesterday in the British lega- tion courts, are as follows: A. Wimer beat C.

To the Editor of Tux Eventxe Stan: In improving the Potomac flats a beautiful beach could be formed without a dollar of extra expense. In the tidal basin on the north side beyond | the point west of the monument there is now a quarter of a mile of beach that is yet incom- plete for its original purpose, and it would re- | quire no more labor or expense to finish it for a bathing shore than for its original design, | The dredges have thrown up abundance of tine sand that could be easily graded to a safe in- cline tor cny desired width, say 100 feet from deep water to the base of the bluff. which rises a ly about 10 feet to the general level of | the dats, | ‘The rise and fall of the tide is between two | and three feet, and the inlet to the great basin is so narrow that there would be no current | whatever to endanger bathers or to wear the | beach, We can have no mad and roaring } breakers, no hidden jagged rocks, no ravenous undertow. no dark caverns, no spouting chasms ever, he did not to vent old ocean's pent-up fury, In fact I | don't see how we could, consistently with the object in view, get up anything on | which “a wild romance could be based, | But, on the other hand, we can have at our own door a safe and respectable | bathing place in which we may teach our boys | and girls ang their mothers and cousins toswim | in the same Water that they are liable to be | drowned in on any of their frequent excursions, if they don’t learn to swim. There are drains to discharge surface water from the monument the outlet of any sewer. The water is as clean as that of any large river. I have bathed in it several times this summer, and from accidental mouthfuls I | tur as presented to my acquaintances this idea of hevinga public bathing place meets with universal favor, and by general request I make this appeal merely as an initiative step. hoping the matter will be talked up until our object is attained. DETAILS. That it may not seem far away and {mprac- ticable let us consider a few details: Naked bathing must be banished from the vicinity. Every bather should dress and behave with the decorum due to such a place, considering itafree 2nd easy play-ground. Each family or group of acquaintances may carry their own dressing tent and freely pitch it in any open spot within the limits, which should be on the sand near the bluff. Or, if we could have it perfect, on a plateau of green sward raised a foot above the sand along in front of the bluff, which might also be grassed over onan incline like one side of an amphi- theater, and be dotted with shade trees to ac- commodate spectators, A TENT 2 yards square will accommodate four persons at once, watering-place style. and it can be made out of 20 yards of yard-wide cotton or its equivalent; a clothesline cut into four parts and a center pole 7 feet high. All this need not weigh over 15 pounds, and any man can carry it as easily as a fish pole, Of course a more elaborate tent that would serve also for picnics would answer as well, and it may be large and curtained into roums for your guests. Then you want a rubber or oil- cloth satchel in which to carry home your wet suit and towels, ‘There should be a police boat stationed just outside of wading depth to go to the assistance of any one requiring it. and a raft or two al shore to dive from, with seats on which to st while rinsing the sand from your feet.

To the Editor of Tux Evexin Star: Ina paragraph recently published in your paper, copied from another, the statement was made that Queen Victoria, tracing her ances- try back for 800 years, belonged to the oldest reigning dynasty in the world. This is not quite true, for there is one country in which the dynasty now reigning is certainly much older. The mikado of Japan, whether we ac- cept the national mythology, which carries his ancestry back about 13,000 years, or follow the accepted chronology of the people, as ofii- cially declared by the government, which only rung back to 660 B.C., or confine ourselves to the period of authentic history which began about 400 A.D., is undoubtedly of more ancient lineage than any othe> monarch. We may con- | fidently believe that his family has been on the throne of Japan for more than a thousand years, for, althongh the authentic historical records do not run back quite so long as that, we have no reason to question the general truthfulness of the other records for several centuries earlier, except in the matter of dates, Now the Japanese have a list of the emperors who have reigned since the year 660 B.C., which was published by the government in 1877, and is the accepted chro- noMgy. All the ancient books agree well as regard the succession of mikados, only diifer- ing in the matter of ages, and, although this is largely a mythologic ancestry, we may certainly give some credence to the order of ‘names for several centuries before the introduction of writing. There is an interesting fact in this connec- tion—that the people of Japan have never re- belled against the authority of the mikado. He is revered by his subjects and implicitly obeyed. They regard him as a divineiy-ap- pointed ruler, a while he may err, they deem it wrong, as faithful subjects, to question the acts of their sovereign, Washington Produce Market.

ANACOSTIA, A-Post Orrice Muppur.—When the village of Garticld was laid out five or six years ago a post office wa. secured for the place. Early the Cleveland administration Mr. Geo. H. Arm- strong. who had established a grocer jore on the hill near the lage, asked and received the commission postmaster. Mail being ofter missent on account of Garfield hospital in the city aud Garfield post ofices in Maryland and Virginia, Mr. Armstrong recommended that the name be changed to Good siope, and the change was made. Last fall he sold store and went into other business in Anacos' He-oxpected the post office would go with the store, but hia successor preferred not to be bothered with it, as the revenues were only about ‘$40.0 year. Since then Mr. Armstrong has vainly endeavored to retire from public life. He has haunted Mr. Clarkson's office and jted many days and much of mind ing to surrender his commission, but he couldn't get achance. His p2titions have been ignored and he has been spurred from the foot ot the throne. Recently another office has been established about 80 rods away, with Mr. Arthur W. Carroll, a colored man, as postmas- ter. This uew office is known as Garfield and wilk divide the $40 salary of Good Hope. On this account Mrs. King, who was tendered the Good Hope office, declined to take it, and Mr. Armstrong and his bondsmen are still annoyed with its responsibilities, Mr. Armstrong has just written Postmaster General Wanamaker ‘the situation and hopes to be relieved at once. It is thought the Good Hope office will be discontinued.
