THE ‘EVENING STAR: “PIRATES” DEFEATED A Waterloo Administered by the Senators. ———— ONE RUN OF TWELVE EARNED aan The Visitors Contribute an Accommodating Number of Mishaps to the Game—Gen- _ @ral Notes of Interest Regarding Ball Play- —__+—— ARD HITTING ON the part of the home nine and the most ex- ecrable errors on tho! part of the visitors gave the Warbingtons an eagy victory over the Pitteburgs yesterday. Baldwin fresh from a terrific mauling in Bal- timore was in the box for the pirates and in the first tuning must wwe wished he had never been born. Every mator went to bat once and Radford, Dowd and Milligan each took two turns. Only ! four hits were made, but errors were bunched * go accommodatingly that eight runs were scored. Then Baldwin was invincible up to the eighth ‘inning, when two more runs came in on three Bits and an error. Two more were added in the ninth. Radford showed up in great form at the bat, making four hits, one of them a double. *Cooner, the new short stop, put in an appear- “ance, but didn’t do much of anything. He was Hthe only one who failed to make abit. Not « Sball was knocked to him, but be had one put- out at second on Richardson's assist on a batted “ball. Dan took in everything at second and gave a practical illustration of how to play the base. Dusfee took Hoy’s place in center and {made one difficult catch, after a sharp run. }Radford’s only error was dropping a ff efter making a long run for it Ro inson, contrary to expectation, 00" fered third and gathered in everything + coming his way. The home team put up 8 sharp gume and gave Killen excellent support. Killen pitched cellent game and the only effective hitting was done in the ninth inning, when on two three-baggers a run was scored and the visitors were saved from a shut out. With @ man on third and no one out Capt. Burns came to the bat in the ninth, but he ig- Rominiously struck out. The next two were easily retired on fies to Duffee and Richardson. Radford opened the game by flying out to Bierbaeur. Then Dowd start the ball * pretty drive over Shugart’s head to left. gan one for two bags over toward the right field foul lines and Tommy scampered home. Cooney sent one out to Miller. which the “Fog- horn” dropped. Then MeGuire | to right and cleared the bases. Killen dropped ‘one in front of the plate and was on first by the time Baldwin had gathered it up. Duffee hit to Bierbauer and took frst on his fumble. Rich- ardson lifted « high to Donovan. Just then the sun came out from under a cloud. Donovan was ailticted with his old weaknoss and dropped the ball. All this time runs were be- “ing gathered in with great ener; kept up the good work by a hit which Miller couldn't reach and Radford sent two runs in by nother hit to Donovan's territory. Dowd, however, forced Hadford at second and was himself forced by Milligan. .. About the third inning the clouds began to Jook as if rain might fall and rob Washington fof its victory. The only thought then was to pget the fifth inning over us soon ue possibl ‘Consequently no great amount of exertion was “made to score until the third Pittsburger had heen put ont in the fifth.

The base ball league which will finish the sec- ond series of games scheduled by the Eastern Association will be the strongest ever formed by the eastern cities. The directors and man. agers of the Eastern League met at the Arlt ton Hotel, in Binghamton, Tuesday evenin; and held ‘an. all-might’s session behind closed doors. President C. D.

Cleveland alone figured in yesterday's game at Philadelphia and “cinched” its @old by mak- ing four runs in the sixth inning, three of which were earned. The Phillies could not hit Cuppy whea hits were needed. A catch of a live hit from Clements’ bat, which was apparently good for two bases, by O'Connor in the sixth was a feature. Delahanty started from second buse and O'Connor fielded the ball promptly to Mc- Kean and completed a double play. Attend- ance, 2.265. Score, 7 to 1. Thirty-one hits with a total of forty-six bases was the result of yesterday's Baltimore-Louis- ville game, which the home team won by hard hitting in the third and ninth ionings. Louis- ville hit McMahon herd, but he kept them seat- tered. Score, 18 to 8. Chicago bunched its hits and, aided by Boston's errors, won yesterday. Hutchinson was hit hard at firsi, but was effective later.’ Dablen’s batting and Canavan’s fielding were the features. Kelly was off in his throwing. Score, 6 to 3. The New Yorks won a slow game from St. Louis yesterday afternoon. The Browns were not in the game at anv stage of the proceedings. The New Yorks batted hard and fielded per- fectly, while Crane kept the hits well scattered. Score, 9 to 1. The Cincinnati club put up a fine game of ball yesterday at Eastern Park. The Brooklyns had but three errors and the really brilliant work was done by the home team. Their field- ing at critical points was superb, and in the last three innings the Cincinnati club had to retire with men on bases. Shortetop Corcoran fielded his position in great style, making fine stops and pretty throws. Four of the team’s six runs were sent home by Corcor singles. Score, 6 to ° pe SESE ‘The Orient Club Tournament. The first public erent of the newly organized Orients (athletically speaking) is the tennis tournament just completed.

WASHINGTON, D. The Crew to Be Sent by the Potomac Boat Club. ‘Training Young Aspirants for the Shells—A ‘New Crop of Oarsmen—Thursday's Regatta and Its Effect Considered—Notes From the Different Clubs. eee LUB REGATTAS ARE, in my opinion, a good thing for many roa sons,” says Capt. Wil- son of the Columbia Athletio Club, “and after our success, with this week’s regatta I see mo reason why they should not be of more frequent occurrence.” They stimulate interest ge in rowing among the CA wombers and draw them more frequently and rogularly to the boat house, and thé rush for seats in boats always increases the moment a club regatta is spoken of, and the very fact of the competition causes that rivalry among the men, each of whom wants to be in a winning boat, that can- not but have the most beneficial results. As the prospect of having a Potomac river regatta grows brighter the rowing men show more interest, and tho promptness with which they answer the call was shown by the splendid array of rowing material on T hursday. ‘The Columbia's pair-oared gig Terror has beon out several times this week, with Allen stroke and Hannegan bow, with Duhamel cox- swain.

A. C. POTOMAC BOAT cLUB. For several reasons interost in rowing in this club has been conspicuous for its absence. First and foremost the absence of ma.y of the rowing members make it dull about the houso, and especially was this so with the junior “eight,” from which so much is still expectod. Now that the club has entered a crew in the naz tional regatta, interest is reviving and more men are coming down fo see what advancement the crew is making. The boat house fs still in the hands of the the heavy piers under the front of the house and it is stronger than ever. As soon as the general repairs are completed the hop comunit~ will complete its arrangements and cards will be issued to friends of the club for the semi-monthly informal dances which in past few years have become delightful fixtures of the summer season. 5 All eyes are now turned toward Saratoga lake, where, on the 26th and 27th instants, the national regatta will be held, and interest in this locality is centered in the junior eight entered from this club, Owing to absence from ¢ city and illacas of two of the crew, it has not until about ten days ago rowed regularly together, but it is fast getting into shape and il make a good showing. It is not which of the two days the junior eig! be rowed, as that is a maiter, as with all other races, that comes under the’ direction of the regatta committee, but if the junior eigh sire it the race will, mére than likely, be rowed on the last day. Unfortunately, Mason, one of tho best men in the crew. is still seriously ill, and his place is being filled by Magee, who in a very short time has developed into a good weep, and if he were only a little longer in the limbs he could fill the place of any of the lighter men of the crew. ° The crew aa entered is Von Dachenhansen, bow; E.

Willie Brumley will go with the crew to look after the boat, &c. Lieut, Merritt and several others have some great scheme on hand which, if it materialize: will surprise at least a few of the members. Quinn comes down regularly, and being willing: and strong ought to make a good “waist” man with proper coaching. He should be rowed oftener and harder. Atter the regatta Oliver, the big No. 6 of the crew, will make a short visit to his home near Saratoga.

As stated by Tux Stan some time: ago the Morocco question is becoming more and more important, All the continental powers are in- terested in it. Vessels of England, France, Italy, Germiany and Spain are now in Morocco waters awaiting further development. The question is being seriously agitated by the Neue Freie Presse of Vienna whether England by sending Sir Evan Smith to Fez with orders to hoist there the royal British fiag intended to open an hostile action against the sultan, to end in the occupation of the cmpire,or whether it was only meant to secure protection for Europeans against the unruly tribes of Angera. | The newspaper referred to concludes its article in these words: “England is trying to open in Morocco a political action similar to her former one regarding Egypt. Tho hoisting of the British flag at Fez for the first time is not only @ commercial aim, but above all one of a political nature.” Widely different statements are made us to probable future developments. The French press holds that England, Italy and Spain are interested from the same point of view. The Austrian and German press sug- gest that England and France might have an nderstanding as to the occupation of Morocco. Whatever is the real meaning of the navai movement now going-on on the coast of the Moorish ompice it is positive that the question is becoming a larger one every day and that an unforescen accident may bring itintoimmediate prominance, : FRANCE AND ITALY. Several editorials of La Lanterne of Paris discussing the probable attack m case of war by the French navy on the Italian coast and ports and an article of the Temps, a semi-offi- cial paper, saying that “Nice is the objective point of the march of the French regiments against ‘the enemy,’” has attracted the attention of the Italian press. The Riforma of Rome, the organ of ex-Premier Crispi, speak- ing of these articles says that the tone and the utterances of the French press prove that war is inevitable and that it may come at any mo- ment, and concludes by urging preparations for the defense by land and sea without delay. In fact, since the fall of Sig. Criapi's cabinet, after the voluntary resignation of the premier, the Di Rudini government and the present cabinet of Sig. Giolitti have found the situation to be such as to make it inadvisablo to stop war prepara- tions, and only partial economies have taken place in the budget of army and navy, exclud- ing any reduction in the number of army corps. 4 ‘The plan of naval warfare referred to by the French newspaper, as written by a military authority, would consist of the rapid bombard- ment of the Italian ports of Genoa, Spezia, Leghorn, Naples and. Palermo, together with the landing of 40,000 men in Sicily and a-co1 of invasion in central Italy, with a view of dis- turbing or even cutting off’ the communication between southern and northern Italian forces. The Italian press, however, says that the fifteen Italian ironclads and the naval war divisions of the north and south Mediterranean such a position as to meet any such movement and that the Italian seaports are protected against any attempt to land troops. This, though it may be atiributed to the exaggerated feelings -of ‘hovtility existing in the prem of Europe, nevertheless indicates that the war is considered in certain quarters as inevitable. THE MONAMCHIES AND THE VATICAN. The policy of the Vatican, lately inaugurated by Leo XIII, tending to establish it as a rule ‘that with regard to the republics of France and the United States special considerations must prevail, contrary to the traditional monarchical policy of the Vatican, is again the object of werious discussion and opposition, The cable brings the news that the French aristocracy de- voted to the Bourbon and d’Orleans houses, both in parliament and in the country, do not rove the new policy of Leo XIII, and that je theykeep themselves within a strict re- serve the papal nuncio in Paris, Monsignor Ferrara, is now reduced in his relationship with what is termed the “Faubourg Saint Germain” to two or three families. ! On the other side it is cabled that the rela- tions of ministers representing foreign mon- archies at the Vatican are becoming every day more strained, especially since the withdrawal of the Prussian minister, Von Schloesser. An article of a-Roman newspaper once devoted to the plan of conciliation between the Va and the Italian government, and reported as weil informed on all ‘subjects relating to Leo XIII, says that he cannot be expected to change his present personal policy, and that such licy will be that of the Vatican as long as Leo.

This year ehe hes shown marked improvement and has proved that she is not only fleet of foot, but a stayer, for her race for the great western handicap at a mile | and a half, which she ran in 2.33%, is only half second behind Firenzi’s record. She has started as a three-year-old nine times, and has suffered only one defeat, when Bashford beat allowance. She was on this occasion beaten only haif a length, the mile and an eighth being made in 1.53 July 14, with 122 pounds up, she won at a mile 1.42, and Tuesday last ehe’ won, with 99 unds up, at 11-6 miles, in 1.4534, lowering record hulf second. Palo Alto, the celebrated trotting stallion owned by Senator Stanford, died Thursday at the Senator's stock farm, near Mayfield, Cal, of pneumonia. Palo Aito was a bay horse, foaled in 1882, and by right of his record, 2.03%, was the unquestioned king of trotting stallions. His record, indeed, has never been surpassed, except by Sunol, 2.0834, thongh it is the same as that of Mand 8. He was regarded as one of the most valuable horses in the world, and his owner held him beyond price. He was bred by Senator Stanford and was by the great Electioneer and out of Dame Winnie, a thor- oughbred daughter of Planet. Asarace horse he was distinguished for his gameness as much as for his wonderful speed, and at the stud he promised to be a grand success. His colts are all young, but alremiy indicate that he was des tined for the highest honors as a progenitor but for his untimely death. His loss will be re- garded by breeders and horsemen generally as @ national calamity. During the last weck it is said that the judges at Monmouth have made serious mistakes in lacing the horses in at least two races. The judges claim that they were right in their de- cisions, and that the newspaper men the public’ were wrong themselves. This may be 80, but every intelligent race goer knows that the judges are not infallible in their judgment. when the judges do mekea mistake they al- most invariably throw the cloud of track because of their experience and their facilities for seeing they cannot have made a mistake And thet is ali bosh, to say the least. Judges ean, and judges do, make such mistakes. TURF Gossir. The book makers at Chicago have tately been flooded with lots of “the queer.’ At the Fairview eale of yearlings F. A.

PREIS Es WHAT A RIOT IB, Three or Mofe People Required to Make One—The Law of the Subject. What constitutes a riot in the view of the law is a question of some interest on account of re- cent occurrences, Mr. D. T. Pierce, jr., who has studied the law of the subject gave the re- sults of his researches to @ Stam reporter as follows In the colonies rioting ‘was punished common lew, by fine and imprisonment, and, if judged sufficiently serious, by the pillory. But these penalties, being found insufficient, stat- utory provisions were early made for their suppression. The first English statute formed for this purpose was 84 Edward III, which gave justices of the peace very extensi wuthority in these cases and visited the offense with severe punishment. The statate 1 George I,commonly called the tact,” made it a capital felony for persons riotously assembled to the number of twelve or more to continue so assembied one huur after a proclamation had been issued by a justice of the peace ordering them to disperse, thus leaving the offense, if jore persons authority for the other in thegxecution of some private enter- prise and in fesisting any authority which may their proceedings. to the best authorities it is wholly immaterial whether the act is lawful or not, for itis not the act, but the manner in which it is ee the pep hee sons may form a conspiracy, three or more to make a riot. ‘Ey if Hr ' | 4 Lé l f 4 z i H G A I i z 3 IF i | were not even on Pennsylvania avenue during | money $10,000.
