The Senators lost yesterday's game to the Browns on its merits, Bert Meyers’ home run in the ninth inning winning the game by the close margin of one run. German pitched and had excellent control of the ball except in the fourth inning, when the Browns connected with his delivery for seven singles. Hart occupied the box for the Browns, and was batted freely in the sixth, five earned runs being made before the bombardment was over. This tied the score, and but for Myers’ home run more than nine innings would have been played. Brown's batting and base running and Sel- bach’s and De Montreville’s fielding were the features of the game from a Washing- ton standpoint. Roger Connor made his first appearance as manager captain, and was presented with a huge bunch of roses, responding with a hit into right field. In the unlucky fourth Quinn, Connor and Parrott singled and were followed by an error by German. Then Niland hit and Abbey threw in wild, which was followed by three more hits, netting the home team their seven runs. Brown and Joyce made two-baggers in the sixth, followed by three singles, which netted the visitors five runs, tieing the score. The game was won for St. Louts by Myers, the Washington boy, knocking the ball over the fence, with Quinn on second base, and, although Myers gets the credit for a single, Quinn scored the necessary yun. One of the features of the game was a double play by McCauley and Cartwright. Attendance was SW). The score: ST. LOUL WASHINGTON.

Pittsburg has again taken the lead in the lengue race. ‘The Bostons played two consecutive games at Louisville without a fielding error. Hawley has lost the last three games he pitched. All Were not Pink's fault. Umpire Gaffney has already fallen from grace. Pitcher Campfield’s work will be watched with interest. Between Irwin and Von der Ahe he has made a name for himself. With all its borrowed plumage in the shape of loaned players, Charley Reilly’s Syracuse club is not setting the world on fire with its success. It's a pity Dad Clarke hasn't a press agent like Bill Joyce. Perhaps some of the many things Dad says during a game are real funny. Manager McGunnigle of Louisville is con- templating a few changes in his team. It is reported that he would like to trade Out- fielder Clark for Connaughton of the Giants. Rogers tried to spike Gray at Cincinnati Sunday. The latter pounded Rogers twice with the ball, and Hurst separated them. Ewing and Cartwright had a sparring match and Ewing almost jerked the shirt off Cartwright. Von der Ahe has exptessed himself as heartily in sympathy with Freedman of New York, and is willing to help him at ony time financially. He ‘absolutely denies an alleged interview In a’ New York paper recently, in which he {s made to roast Freedman for pursuing his present policy. There was a funny play made on a hit by O'Connor in Cleveland thé other day. Zim- mer was at first when the Wall was sent to Cross, who fell upon it andhjuggled it about until It lay on the bag, when Hallman took a hand, and both pawed it about trying to get hold of it until Zimmer was safe. Anson's small boy treat scheme was in Yegue in New York last. season, with the result that the visitors were subjected to indignities, not the least of which was a concerted attempt to rattle the pitcher of the other team by the. youngsters thus treated to free admission, Only the great pitching of MéMahon and some clever, scientific Tunting and base- running saved the champions ‘from a defeat Monday at the hands of the Browns. Tax- en altogether it was dbout the hardest game the champions have had to face this Season, with perhaps. one or two excep- tions. The anonymous letter writer has been getting in his work again, and after Sat- urday’s game fn which Breltenstein was knocked out of the box by New York, Pres- Jdent Von der Ahe received a letter stating the great southpaw pitcher had been dis- sipating. “Breit” was suspended, and the matter was investigated and found to be false. Mercer has eight straight victories to his credit, without one defeat to mar it. Mer- cer’s nerve and grit have as much to do with his phenomenal success in the box as his curves and shoots. Mercer does not know what the word “weaken” means. There are other pitchers who would be wonders if they were as game as the star of the senatorial aggregation.—Cincinnati En- quirer. Now that the last Washington game has demonstrated that an attempt to kill the ball will not win when up against a first- class pitcher, {t is to be hoped Manager Ewing will switch his thoughts and make his men bunt the ball when such a course will advance a man with safety. A num- ber of chances were lost on Tuesday by not bunting, as they were by not being able to hit the ball to the outfield. These are days of modern base ball, and not the times when New York's heavy sluggers won the pennant. And, besides, we have not the sluggers. Play modern ball.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Hill, who pitched for Louisville yesterda: is the name of an attenuated country youth, who hails from the wilds of Tennessee. Last season he played with an amateur club, and this Is his first season against professionals. He again demonstrated yesterday that he can puzzle league batsmen, even the heavy- hitting Phillies, and only once during the game did they make more than one hit in an Inning, and that was In the rlinth. LOCAL BASE BALL. Light Infantry and Treasury Teamn Play Today. The Washington Light Infantry and Treasury Department teams meet today In the Departmental League series, and the rame fs expected to be a most interesting and close one. It will be called at National Park at 4 Tomorrow afternoon the District Com- missioners’ office team will meet the Fort Myer aggregation, and will endeavor to keep up ‘the good work which it began in the treasury game. Troopers Badly Beaten, The Fort Myer and Bureau of Engraving and Printing teams met, Yesterday after- noon at National Park, ,and the money makers had no trouble in Resting the cav- alrymen by @ score of Iv tb 2. The game was well played, and thé'bureau won by heavy hitting, five errors Deing the total number made by both tedfng. Bernard and Winkleman pitched for’ the bureau, and were not touched to any extent, nine men being struck out betwepn them. Gentry s hit hard, and was,susceeded by Gii- son. i Bielaski’s play at third was the feature’ of the game, one play being especially fine. A hot liner came to-him from Thom: son's bat that he had to,;g0 down on h knees for, but without getting up he man- aged to throw the ball ff6m third to sec- ond in time to catch his nfan. Brege and Baehr, for the:soldiers, played good ball, while the whole bureau team more or less put up a good article of play. BUREAU. PORT R.H.O.A.E Leach, If.. 11 1 0 0 Brege, 2b.

Cornell Trying an English Shell Five crews, two Cornell 'Varsitics, two freshman eights and the Cascadilla crew, took advantage of the fine weather yester- day afternoon at Ithaca, N. Y., and went out on Cayuga lake for a spin. The sec- ond ‘varsity manned the English shell, but there was no noticeable advantage gained, as the imported shell is somewhat heavier than the Cornell boat, and the alternating seats do not seem so far as satisfactory as the straight arrangement in the boat now used. The first freshman crew showed up finely, and when the trials come will un- doubtedly compete well with the 'varsi- thes. The first ‘varsity, captained by Freeborn, has developed the better form, but the se ond ‘varsity has made slightly better ume. Cornell has arranged to occupy Hicks mansion at Poughkeepsie again during the stay preparatory to the quadrangular race. EXCITING CONTESTS PROMISED: Georgetown to Play University of Virginia Today and Tomorrow. Georgetown will play the last two games of the season with an out-of-town team this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon at Georgetown Field with the University of Virginia team. Should the contesis result in a tie the game will be played off at Char- lottesville, but the friends of the blue and gray are confident that there will be no need for the trip south. Judging from Virginia’s show against Cornell, the boys in blue and gray do not have much to fear. Cornell was barely defeated by one run, while George- town snowed the Ithacans under hy a score of 12 to 1. This would seem to indicate that George- town should win out easily, but right here the uncertainties of base ball enter in, and Virginia may do the trick that Cornell did when the Ithacans met Princeton. At all events, the games will be full of excitement, and great preparations are being made by the friends of both teams in this city for a rousing reception. It is expected that a large crowd will go over to the Georgetown campus on both cays, and there !s no doubt that Georgetown ‘will put forth her oest team, in order to keep as clean a record as possible. Yale and Princeton are tne only two teams that heve trailed the blue and gray in the dust this season, and on oth occasions It did not trail very deeply or very long, the narrow margin of one run winning in each case. The Princeton game was a most uusatisfa: tory one, and the majority of those who wi nessed the contest believe sincerely that if Gecrgetov had had another inning the Tigers would have gone up into the air. There are 4 number of University. of Vir- ginia people who live in Washington, and there is every Indication that they will be out in force to encourage the teain from their alma mater. ‘The game will probably be called at 4 o'clock, and the strongest team that George- town can get together will be put in the field. McLaughlin has been put back in his old place at third, and the change seems to work better in every way, as he is throwing in fine shape. Carthy center, and Lambert right. probability Trg*ey will nold down fi with Fleming, Reardon an the rest of the infield. The Mahoney Harley will play left field, Mc- In all and Maloney, will occupy points. For Virginia the team will line up as fol- lows: McGuire, pitcher; Marshall, Garnett, first base; McKim, Hoxton, third base; Craig Bouncy, Kern and Mecranie, in the cutfeld. DRISCOLL Won. Champion College Tennia Player of the District. The intercollegiate championship of the District in tennis was settled yesterday by the defeat of John Goodfellow of Columb! University by Thomas <A. Driscoll of Georgetown College. Driscoll was at one time champion of the Pacific slope, and the game which he put up yesterday showed that he is speedily getting back into his old form. He is looked upon as having an ex- cellent chance in the tournament for the championship of the south, and his friends are enthusiastic over his style and form yesterday as a forerunner of his work this Season. The game was a hard-fought one yesterday, and was won by Driscoll strictly on the merits of the game which he put up. VON DER AHE‘S OLD GAME. ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 15.—The receipts of yesterday's ball game, amounting to $2,400, belonging to the league base bail club of Washington, were attached by Preside Von Der Ahe of the St. Louis Browns. The suit is another of those growing out of the Pendleton Park venture in 1891, at Cincinnati, when Von Der Ahe went secur- ity for the rent of Pendleton Park, the other Icague lubs giving an indemni.y bond.

Raising Funds for the Sorely Afilict- ed Family. The charitably dispcsed of Washington's inhabitants will have ample opportuniiy to show their willingness to help along the fund for the Kreglo family this evening and tomorrow evening. An entertainment will be given at Willard Hall tonight and another benetit tomorrow evening at Al- len’s Grand Opera House, both of which are meritorious as entertainments, leaving out the object for which they are to be given. The one at Willard Hall this even- ing will include two plays and the quarrel scene from the “School fgr Scandal.” The plays are “A Pair of Lunatics” and “Mulli- grub's Mistake.” ‘Those who will take part are Mrs. Clarendon Smith, C. Gargin Gil- maine, Lucie Rogers, Hal. Clarendon, jr., and the members of the Me,Seguere Club. Besides these the Madrid Mandolin and Guitar Quartet will appear and render a number of selections. The benefit tomorrow night, the program for which has been given in these coiumns, promises to be unusually successful, and there is every nce that both of the events will add considerable to the fund.

Pleasant team won hecause of the Patent Office team’s lack of prac- tice, the game was not wholly devoid of interest, and the spectators had the con- sciousness that they were helping on a good cause. : Mr, Thomas Young, leader of the Bel- shazzar cantata, which was given last week, has announced that the singers under him are willing to repeat the cantata for the benefit of the unfortunate family.

The Court to Be Roofed Over at the First Story. Preparations are being made at the new city post office building to roof over the court at the first story, the large floor space of which will be utilized by P master Willett's carrier force some day in the shadowy future when the building is finally completed. ‘The contractor for this particular portion of the work has his derricks and engines in place, and the necessary fron and other materials were being hauled to the site today. It seems to be the impression that this contractor will establish something of a record in the his- tory of the post office construction, and will complete his task at or before the & piraticn of the time limit of his contract. Light trusses are to be thrown across the wide court area over the first story, ani heavy glass roofing will be fitted in, as a protection te those whose duties may neces- sitate their working in what would other- wise be an exposed position. From the se ond story upward the court will be open. The main roof over the court will, like the secondary shelter over the first floor, be one vast skylight, constructed of heavy ribbed glas: It will be possible, within a comparatively short time, to preceed with the work of setting the terra cotta floors and wails, and, if such a course should seem desira- ble, the first floor, which only will be given up to the city post offi ses, can be com- pleted and made ready for occupancy be- fore the workmen complete their labors on the remaining portions of the buildin, — GREAT STORM WISCONSIN, Bridges Washed Away and Buildings Undermined.
