Every Senator hitting safely, and some of them hitting two or three times, playing with avim and determination that are re pul life into games where before they were Homans otal er Set oe from clubs that have heretofore been victorious over them—such is now the condition of affairs with the Washington ball club, Yesterday they won their fifth straight game, the victims being the men from Gastown. They’ did it by hard hitting and safe, by fielding well enough to keep the visitors from scoring too many runs and by keeping up that lucky gait they struck eleven days ago. The score was 10 to 4, this being rather an odd fact, since in the three games won from Horace Phillips’ men the scores were 10 to 4, 10 to 6,10 to4 Verily, the figure 10 seems to be the mascot of Washington. THE BATTERIES were Keefe and Daly and Garfield and Fields. This young man with the presidential name is just the kind of twirler the Senators like. He puts the balls over the plate in exactly the manner they love dearest and they demon- strated their affection for his delivery by embracing it on the slightest pretense. On the other bend the men from Pittsburg were at a loss when Keefe faced them and shot his puzzlers over the rubber. Most of them man- aged to hit the ball some way, but it was not a safe way, and the sphere persisted in going in somebody's hands except on five rather lonely occasions, when it kept out of reach. Keefe was just a little wild and gave four bases on balls, two of which resalted in runs, but he was very effective in all other respects and received good support at critical moments, INDIVIDUAL WORK. Clarke played short once more, and though he made one fumble, he accepted all of his other eight chances, being ths sole actor in one double play, and an important element in another. He also made two single hits. Sweeney made his usual error, but more than paid for it with a single and a double hit. Mack muffed one ball, which was hardly worth as much to Pittsburg as Connie's double ard twosingles were toWashington. With this record Mack led the two teams in batting. Hoy and Wilmot made a three-bagger each and Daly and Wise a single. Carney found the ball for two base hits. THE RUNS, The home team scored twice in the first on Rowe's error on Hoy’s ball, a passed ball and singles by Daly and Clarke. One run in the second was the result of a couple of two, baggers by Mack and Sweeney, and the one in the third came from Wise’s single and steal and Carney’s hit. The visitors scored two runs in the third on a base on balls and_a double by Hanlon and Beckley's single. The game was won beyond all chance in the sixth, when three more runs made thescore 7to2. These came from Sweeney being hit by the piteher, Keefe’s single, and tripies by Hoy and Wilmot. Two runs of the Pittsburg tell the tale of the seventh, these being caused by Dunlap’s base on balls, Smith’s sacrifice, Hanlon’s single and Keckley’s double. This, however, was balanced, and to spare, by the usual Senatorial run-get- ting in the ninth, in this game amounting to 3, two singles and errors by Hanlon and Dunlap contributing. Washington made 15 hits 4 errors, and Pittsburg 5 hits and 6 errors, OTHER GAMES. Boston generously took two games from In- dianapolis, thus aiding the Senators materially. The first score was 10 to 5, six innings being played. The batteries were Radbourne and Ganzel, and Getzein and Daily. The Hoosiers made 7 hits and 7 errors, and the Hubbites 12 hits and 4errors. The second score was 7 to 5. Daley and Ganzel, and Rusie, Buckley and Daily were the batteries. Boston made 8 hits and 5 errors, and Indianapolis 7 hits and 2 errors. Cleveland stopped sliding and touched up the Phillies for a victory by the score of 9 to 4. Sanders, P. Wood and Schriver, and Bakeley and Zimmer were the batteries. The Infants | made 17 hits and 1error, and Philadelphia 9 hits and 1 error. The Giants administered a parting dose to the Ansonians, the score being 8 to3. The game was poorly Ee. and Chicago lost be- cause of their inability to bat at the right time. Welch and Ewing, and Dwyer and Farrell were the batteries. New York made 8 hits and 6 errors, and Chicago 9 hits and 5 errors. There were no association games played yes- terday. NOTES. Five straight games! This makes strange music, but sweet. The Senators will be doing well enough to win one out of three games with (thers. 9 ‘The Senators have their eyes on the ball now- | adays, as the record of 9 hits in nine games attests. Daley, who made his league debut in Boston yesterday, is from Jersey City. Mr. Curry has reached town at last and did good work yesterday. ‘The base ball public m this city ought to be ashamed of itself. Here the home team, built up and strengthened at a great cost on the part of enterprising citizens,is winning ball at a great rate, and yet the audiences average less than 900 a game, Such playing in New York or Bos- |ton would attract fully 5,000 people a day. Here 2,000 would be about right. Mack has made 16 hits in the last nine games, There is trouble in the Indianapolis team, resulting from a lack of fands wherewith to pay salaries, Rumors were cife yesterday that the club had been disbanded, and then came word that the league would run the team along. The Hoosiers were pretty near striking in Bos- ton Tuesday night when President Brush tele- graphed them that the treasury was empty. poscdensn sco A Boy’s Leg Broken. Yesterday afternoon the horse attached to the buggy of Mr. J. W. Barnes ran away from the corner of Penn. avenue and 3d street north- west, in consequence of the bridle breaking, and he and his driver, Benjamin White, a col- ored boy of sixteen years, were thrown out, | The boy had his leg broken above the ankle, and, after the fracture had been reduced at the ncy hospital by Dr. Eilyson, he was re- moved to his home, 1319 Vermont avenue. Mr, Barnes escaped with a few slight bruises, —-_— An Old Soldier Crushed to Death. Nathan Wilson, formerly a Union soldier in the eighth Maine regiment, was killed near Ivy City on the Washington branch of the Balti- more and Ohio railroad yesterday. He had fallen asleep on a pile of lumber on the siding, and the vibration of the ground caused by a passing train resulted in the toppling of an- Other pile of lumber, part of which fo upon the sleeper, crushing him to death. His body was brought to the morgue at the sixth pre- cinet. He was about fifty-five years old, and had on his person among other effects a dupli- cate of his Eonorable discharge from the army issued to him last week. ican TER The Drunken Man in the Street Cars. To the Editor of Tue Evenrxe Stan: The other evening when going home on the Avenue line two of the diagonal corners of the thei: drunkenness, occupied a double allow- ance ofroom. The car was crowded and a number of ladies were standing. These two drunken men were masters of the situation, The conductor seemed powerless to correct the evil and it had to Be’ endured, Later, in ing to a friend about it, he informed me t in this city there was no law for the pre- vention of such a nuisance. He told me that the conductor could have such persons arrested, but if he did he would be obhiged to lose his tim ainst the prisoner the ductor and the car Le eee ein os “ eee z z i A BUILDERS’ EXCHANGE.

In the Police Court this morning John C. Bauman was charged with an assault on Charles C. Swann. He put the latter out of his place, The court held that while a man could put an intruder off his premises, he could not strike him, and imposed a fine of $3, —_.__— He Dropped His Money. This morning Wm. Kidwell was charged with the larceny of money from Wm. Sullivan, a small boy, who testified in the Police Court that he had $1.73 in his pockets, which ran out on the pavement, and the boys gathered around and picked it up. He had received it all back excepting 10 cents. The court imposed a fine of $2 and restitution. Charged wi bbing Their Employer. Charles and Annie Fletcher, charged with grand larceny, were held for the grand jury by order of Judge Miller yesterday afternoon. They were in the employ of Mr. James Halpin, corner of 3d and Q streets, and it is alleged that last Sunday night, while the family were at church, they stole’ from the bureau drawer $125. ‘Annie pleaded guilty, and the evidence against her husband was so strong that both were held in $1,000 bonds each. poset tanta Suing a Railroad for $5,000 Damages.

Carlisle, filed a suit for 5,000 damages against the Richmond and Danville railroad company for injuries re- ceived in the Pope's Head creek disaster, Janu- ary 16, 1888, when she, being in a car which overturned, was badly bruised and injured, she asserts, preventing her for a long time from following the vocation of teacher. ag Presentation to M. M. Parker. Mr. M. M. Parker was surprised at his home on 12th street last evening by about thirty citi- zens who served on his staff as aides in the in- augural procession, The occasion took the form of a presentation, and Mr. Louis D. Wine, as chief of staff, was chosen spokesman, Mr. Wine made an eloquent speech eulogistic of American institatious and commendatory of the able work performed by Mr. Parker in the management of the civic features of the inau- gural ceremonies, In behalf of the aides to the marshal he then presented Mr. Parker with a magnificent solid silver service appropriatel inscribed. Mr. Parker responded with mucl feeling, characterizing the occasion as one of the proudest of his life, and thanking all for the cheerful support they had rendered him in the discharge of his office. The hospitality of the house was then thrown open to those present, and an hour of jovial conversation was enjoyed. ee Sold His Uncle’s Horse. Yesterday afternoon a young man sold amare to Mr. Benjamin Cooley for $75, giving a re- ceipt for the payment which was signed Frank Bouldin, Mr. Cooley became suspicious and informed the police, who arrested the man. He4 told a number of different stories about the mare, having first stated that he was from Bryantown, Charles county, Md., and had bought the horse from an unknown man for $30 and his watch, but finally admitted that his name was Thomas H. Russell; that he was from Baltimore, and that the horse belonged to his uncle in that city, sixth precinct.

Paris Letter in Nashville American, A funny fact came to light recently at the registration of the birth of a child, The happy father was asked the maiden name of his wife, to which he answered: “Rose B.” “Well, how do you spell it? Bee, By, Bey, or bow?” “Just simply B,” “That cannot be, B is only an initial, not a name.” “It is all the name my wife ever had until she married me, Neither. she nor any of her family have ever had any other name than just B, neither more nor less,” - ‘They could hardiy have had less, and an ex- amination of the records showed that they had really never had more. Beyond doubt the B family bears the shortest name in France, per- haps in the world. Only one other name of equal brevity is known, and that is the name of aplace. About 15 miles from Peronne, on the Ham line, there is a commune known as Y. It has some 200 inhabitants. The origin of the name of Y is unknown, and it would be curious to investigate the origin of the patronymic of the B family. —_—____eee—_ A Safe Hiding Place. From the N. ¥. Tribune.
