Mercer bore out his front name again yesterday and led the Senators to victory over the Cincinnati Reds by a score of 6 to 4. Washington won the game through a batting streak that netted nineteen hits, and through Mercer's fine work in the box, the black-halred pitcher allowing the home team but seven singles scattered through the gems. Washington was un- lucky in hitting or the score would have been much larger, twelve men keing left on bases during the game. Selbach led the batting with four hits, Cartwright and Abbey both having three to their credit. Three double plays were the fielding features of the game, two by Cincinnati and one by the Senaters. Seven errors are charged against the Senators in the field, Rogers at third beirg responsible for three. Joyce and Hurst had another little spat en the field and Tim made a_ pass at Serappy with his mask, but hcstilities were dropped in a few moments. The game was Mercer's e‘ghth victory, and he has come to be regarded as a mas- cot of the first water. Cincinnati made three runs in the first on two bases on balls, a sacrifice hit, a hit and an out. The Senators scored in the sec- ond by McGuire's double, Rogers’ hit to cule r, and another double by Demontre- ville In the third four hits gave the visitors three more runs and the lest tally was made in the fourth through sirgles by Ab- ey. Selbach and Cartwright. Cartwright’s batting brought in three ef the Senators’ six runs, while Abbey's fielding was on the phenomeral order. At- tendance, 1,54”). CINCINNATI. WASHINGTON.

The nine representing Cornell University came to Washington yesterday to try con- clusions with the Georgetown team, and if conclusions are to be relied upon the Uni- versity of Virginia, which just managed to beat Cornell—6 to 5—will not be in it with the blue and gray the latter part of this week. Cornell was snowed under yesterday, and seemed way out of her class. Fielding errors and only four hits off Mahoney were why the score was 12 tol. The Georgetown play- ers are charged with six errors, Reardon especially at short having a day off, with three to his credit. The only run scored by Cornell was pre- sented to them by Mahoney, who gave a base on balls, with the bases full, forcirg in the tally. But for this the Ithacans would have been shut out. Mahoney pitched a magnificent game, fielding his position well, and sending in curves like cannon-shots. Little Maloney caught him in fine shape, and threw to sec- ond with remarkable accura nuecarthy led in batting, with a doubl a home run, althougt all the men batted well just BEATEN.

SHAMROCKS FIELDED BETTER. A Close Game Played With the Eust- ern Athletic Club. A game in the District League series was played at National Park yesterday between the Shamrocks and the Eastern Athletic Club, the former winning by a score of 9 to 6, through superior fielding. The East- erns were weak behind the bat and at second base. Both pitchers were very effective and were instrumental in keeping the score down, the winners making but six hits and the Easterns five.

The convoy that the club sent with the birds stated that the weather was fine, but after he left for home he noticed that it was very warm end mucky and knew that the birds would not make any great speed under such unfavorable conditions.

In Defense of the Force School, To the Editor of The Evening Star: ‘A bill has been introduced and passed by the Senate fcr the removal of the Force School, and the disposal of the property oc- cupied by it. This bill was introduced by Senator Lodge. Let me mention that Sen- ator Lodge's residence was erected within a short distance of the school only a few years ago, and, therefore, his improvement was made with a full knowledge of the “nuisance” of its pupils. The school in question is comparatively new, having been erected in 1879, and it has for a long time been considered the cream of our schools. The building is full, and all its sanitary ar- rangements are in excellent condition, and, therefore, its destruction and re-establish- ment on some other site will merely be an expenditure for the gratification of the de- sires of a few property holders in the vicin- ity. If our school is to be considered a “nuisance,” {it will be as much so in its new home as in Its present. Then, again, its removal will materially inconvenience its pupils. I consider that the rights of 600 children in attendance should at least balance those of a half dozen capitalists. I think that the Force School pupils will agree with me in the above sentiments, and we therefore call upon our patrons to pro- tect our interests in the House, and, if their efforts fail there, to bring their influence to bear upon the President, hoping that his veto power, so effectively used on previous occasions, will be exhibited in our favor. EORGE B. PRINDLE, Pupil of Force School. Ripans Tabules. Mr. D. G. Stovall, n druggist at Saltilis, Miss., relates, September 26, 18: the remarkable case of Mr. G. R.
