Complaint is made because little Daffeo is not a six-footer, #0 he could stretch himself out from first base and pull in wide rows. Some 1,500 spectators braved the torrid heat to witness the game and what little comfort they found at the park was iu the fine demon- stration of how the national game should be played as given by the Chicagos. t weakness of Anson's new players which we have read about failed to show itself yesterday as “Jigs” Parrott captured everything that reached his garden and Decker, in right, at- tended to bis position ina business-like way and is undoubtedly superior to Dungan, who plsxed the position when the club was Iasthbore. th these men are “finds” and Mr. Anson's Judgment is certainly remarkable when young Plagers are considered. fashington scored first, a run over the home plate on a base on to Radford, a | sacrifice by Dowd and aacreamer to left over Dahlen’s head by Hoy. The locals then took a rest until the ninth inning, when Cooney reached first on a single and came home on Me- Guire's triple.

They then took a reat until the seventh, when they ~~. the game for keeps, four runs crossing the rubber on | good batting and several rocky pags, by the | outfielders and Duffee at first. In the eighth | the “Colts” again tallied, getting two runs | across the home plate. This made the number seven and was amply sufficient to win the They then quit, hoping to eave several hite and phenomenal plays until today. Umptre Mitchell umpired a good only questionable decision being at 1 plate when he gave Rvan safe, and no thoald be raised on those decisions, as the plays are gencrally of the split eecond order and give either club the play would be perfectly justifiable. Remember several things this hot weather: cool, don't blame it on the um- pire, and don't expect the home club to win every game, especially in their crippled con- dition. ‘The Colts and Senators goat it again this afternoon, with probably Larkin back on first and Abbey and McGuire and Gumbert and Schriver as the batteries. Day before yesterday Duffee accepted all of his nineteen chances and played like a veteran. Yesterday, however, demonstrated to some that he couldn't play the base “like a veteran.” There are some persons ¢o constituted that un- lees every player on the home team plays every game without error and hits safely* every time he goes to bat and the nine wins evei time they have nothing but fault to find wi the team. To them snecess excuses everything. As a matter of fact there are times when a clu) wins and deserves more censure than when it loses. The home team deserves encourage- ment and consideration now. They are play- ing inan experimental and untried way, yet they have been playing winning bail. The: cannot knock every pitcher out of the box an it is foolish to complain beeause they do not. Almost every error made by the Washington club is made through zeal to win. There is not an occupant of the bleachers who wishos the club to win half as much as the players them- selves. ‘They can't win every time, bu: they try to doit. They are handicapped ‘by weak- ness in the box. This was the only we: when the second season began, and if ‘his spot had been strengthened and the ficid kept nn- changed it would have been better for the club. However, phenomenon soon. Mr. Irwin is quoted as saying that Larkin would play first today, whether able to or not. Mr. Irwin is probably misquoted. A horse wouldn't be treated that way. On Tuesday the Phillies kept base hits on draught, and there was seemingly no end to the supply of triples, doubles and singles. Yester- day they were scarcer than Manhattan cock- tails ut Asbury Park on Sunday morning. The chief and peculiar obstacle known in the of their upward flight was a Mr. Ehret, the Pittsburg pitcher. Score 5 to L The Baltimores had an easy time of it in shutting out the St. Louis yesterday. Gulvin in the first inning was wild, and several errors assisted in giving the Baltimores 6 runs, In the seventh inning they made a home ran and four triples off him. Weather good. Attend- ance, 705. Score, 12 to 0. Chamberlain of Cincinnati was effective most of the time yesterday, but slipped up in the second, when he hit two batsmen, who both scored on Kelly's hit and McPhee’s error.

The Hendesblad of Amsterdam, Holland, pub- lishes letters from Celebes giving details of the recent eruption of the volcano Gunona on Great Sangir Island, The eruption commenced at 6 p.m. onaday carly in June, and was un- heralded by the slightest seismic warning. Immense volumes, of flame and ,emoke and masses of stone suddenly burst from the voleano. The stones fell all over the island, killing hundreds of natives, who were busy in the fields getting in the rice crop. Those who succeeded in reaching the supposed shelter of their homes found no refuge, many houses having been crushed beneath the weight of the falling stones and roofs having collapsed under the weight of ashes, burving the inmates, in many instances whole families. Streams of lava flowed with frightfal rapidity down the slopes of the burn- ing mountain, upon which there were situated numerous farms and villages. Houses and fugitives alike were overwhelmed by these riv- ers of molten rock. It is estimated tbat over 1,000 persons perished on the slopes of the mountain and many hundreds more in the low- lands, but the exact lossof lifeis not yet own. A week after the eruption had abated the in- habitant were still in a state of terror and would not approach the scene of the diraster. The island is now threatened with famine, all the crops having been destroyed. Cocon trees are stil standing. but their leaves and fruit have been destroyed and their stems left bare. In many parts of the island wells have become dry. The Dutch authorities are doing the best they can to alleviate the distress of the people. ‘A Dutch government steamer hna been placed atthe dixpoxal of the local controller to dix tribute relicf. Rice and many doctors have been sent to the island. The inhabitants, | though nearly demented with terror, are docile, and the authorities have met with no disorder. — — aa Great Britain's Annexation Scheme. The steamer Australia has brought word to San Francisco that the British cruiser Chani- | pion left July 19 for the southwest, and it is thought in Honolulu that ber mission is to an- nex Cornwailis Island, which lics several bun- dred miles southwest of the Island of Oahu. Itis thought that the Britich government de- sires this island asa station along its line of proposed telegraph cable from Honolulu to New International Organization of Labor. A conference of delegates representing vari- ous trades labor organizations throughout the country began in Saller’s Hull, Pitteburg, yes- terday. ‘The object of the meeting is to devise some plan of forming an international orguni- zation, which would keep “in touch” with the organizations of the world.

The king suake belongs to the family of con- Mtrictors, and ite squeeze is a great deal worse than its bite. The king ix said to have wh im- stinctive hatred for the rettler. Mr. Barns was takinga nap in his store, #hon he was awakened by the peculiar sound of the rattlesnake’s vibrant tail and the loud hiedng of both reptiles. He found the rattler osiled in acorner of the cage, ite bead darting back and forth, and watching for a chance to strike its larger enemy. ‘The king snake was giiling cautiously nearer, with the intention of twining ite muscular coils around the rattler and crush- ing it to death, ¢ rattlesnake made ite apring, but was on- successful in ite attempt to bury its fangs in the king. Next moment the ribs of ite writh- body began to crack as the king shake coiled about the rattler and began to contract its own powerful muscles, In its deaperate *t the rattlesnake knocked the dovr of its box into pieces with a biow of its tail, and both reptiles fell ont on the floor. Burns didn't care to take any part in the quarrel. He summoved an assistant and finally ot the victor intoa bag. The fight had leetrd mut fifteen minutes.
