ROWING MEN SUFFER FROM THE HEAT Washingtons Again Défeated by the Baltimores. — CURRENT SPORTI NOTES pan See SARATOGA, N. ¥., August 12.—Bright and early this morning visitors and oars- men were gathered in front of the United States Hotel gazing at the flag, but not a ripple stirred its folds, and while the lake promises to be as smooth as a mill pond, the contestants will be compelled to strug- gle in a heat of intense volume. Never be- fore in the history of Saratoga has there been heat $9 continuous and so intense. The oarsmen have suffered particularly, and midday practice spins have been prac- tically abandoned. ‘The men, however, are in good form, with the exception of Baxter of the Laureate, who has evidently over- trained, but who says he will be in shape for today’s struggle. The first race will start at 3 o'clock, and the others follow at intervals. There will be but few entries scratched, and three events, the first and second heats of the senior singles and the senior fours, will be stiffly contested. The first event of the day will be the peir-oared shells. But two entries are made for this, viz.: Vesper Boat Club and Penn- sylvania Barge Club. The Vespers were the winners of this event In 1804. The four-oared intermediate, lows, will have two starters, Club and Detroit Boat Club. The Ariels won this event in the regatta of 1892. When the third event is called, the in- terest will grow, for in the senior singles, W. 3. McDowell of the Delawares, last year’s champion, and who then won in 9.50, and who went to Henley this year, will ap- pear against a fair field. His opponents will te F. H. Thompson of the Argonauts, who went to Henley last year; Joseph J. Whitehead of the Riversides, Marsh of the Argonauts. Rumohr and “Bush” ‘Thompson will prob- ably give the Chicago champion a hard hustle, but the latter is in the best of form, and js a favorite for first place. ‘The second heat of the senior singles will follow, and the men may find the work a trifle casier, as the hill on the western bank will afford some protection from the sun's heat to the men on the inner course. The entries in this heat are: 4 ‘o. 1, Metropolitan Rowing Club, E. W. No. 2, Don Rowing Club, Leonard Marsh; No. 8, Vesper Bout Club, Fred. Cresser; No. 4, Beaverwyck Rowing Club, which fol- Ariel Boat F. H. Mcnahan; No. 56, Albany Rowing Club, Bulger; No. 6, Pennsylvania Barge Club, J. B. Juvenal. The race which follows, the eight-oar shell, will, it is feared, be an example of the superiority of perfect training and fine ferm over hurried work. There are but two entries, the New York Athletics and the Laureates of Troy. The latter have been in trairing for the last three weeks + and five men out of the eight had rever before sat in un eight-oared shell, and a still further handicap is that the Trojans’ shell weighs fully eighty pounds more than that of the Athletics. The closing race, which is for four-oar shell senicrs, promises to be the event of the day. The entries are: Detroit Rowing Club, Winnipeg Rowing Club, New York Athletic Club, Wyandotte Athletic Club, Wyandotte, Mich.; Argonaut F Toronto; Institute Boat Club, Ne J.; Riverside Boat Club, Cam- bridgeport, Mass.; Pennsylvania Barge Club, Philadelphi: The Institutes, who held the record time of 8:13%, made last year, are favorites, closely followed by the Winnipegs, the Argonauts and the Riversides.

Senators Piay Their Twelfth Game ‘This Season Aguinst Them. The Baltimore base ball players had sport with Pitcher German yesterday, and piled up runs unul they were tired. So apparent aid !t become that the visitors from Wash- ington did not possess sufficient starch to scratch a collar bone that in the middle of the game Manager Hanlon thought it time for child's play, and took out Esp2r, the ex-Senator, to give Joe Corbett 4 chance. For just three innings did {t seem that there would be some dramatic situa- tions and a possible close finish, but the good prospects of somethirg to stir the blood and allow the people to know they bad been to a ball game lasted no longer. In the fourth, says the Baltimore Ameri- can, in describing the game, the champions opened up on Lester German for keep: and drove him out of the box, with nine runs and seven hits chalked ‘up ag: him for that inning. Thi brought out his new ac In the fifth, whi ‘on, Carney 1 was ‘the first he pitched, Carney was right on the staff of good things. What ind weakness combined, five runs came from kim in his first round. Later on the champions got tired of chas- ing around the bases in such heat, and Flynn was let off easier. Up to the third inning the visitors were actually one run to the good, and they showed a probability of getting at Esper even worse, but just then the fielding was of the same old brilliant stripe, and the men from the capital began to see that the task was as hopeless as the other ten in which they have fallen down before the birds. Esper did his share of the work if he was not at his best, and while he was ved a couple of times by the matchless work of the men back of him, he was al- ways steady and true. All through his share of the game Ger- man smiled a smile that seemed to say that he knew the time would come for him to be driven to the bench. All the while the home batsmen were having a merry time. Kelley marched off with an average of one thousand per cent, Made off four hits and two bases on balls. Keeler and Jennings also fared well with the stick, while Clark, Doyle, Brodie and Donnelly hit in a lively way. The most timely hit of all was that by Reitz. It began ihe slaughter of German. Two singles and Doyle being hit filled the bases at the opening of the sixth, when “Pepper” caught the ball on the nose and sent it cleanly down the first alley for three clean ones. That knocked German cold, and he went up into the air. Everybody on the batting list had a hand in the harvest of runs in the fourth and fifth innings, and the getting of the other runs was a simple proposition in the demoralized condition of the Washington twirlers. Nobody but De Mont. had the heart to bat out runs for the visitors, the third run ‘coming on Corbett’s uncontrollable wild- ness in the sixth. The scor BALTIMORE. R.H.O.A.E. . AE.

Time ‘Two hours and fifteen minu Umpire—Lyn Remarks in Baltimore. O'Brien's error was dropzing Esper’s pop fly in the fourth and then throwing the ball té the bleachers. DeMont’s hit in the first, which brought @ run, was a “punk” just out of Reitz’s reach. Maybe the crowds will take a brace when ball games, and not processions, are held at Union Park. Clarke and German missed a collision by @ hair in the third, when Bill ran to first on a drive to Farrell. Of course, Bill want- ed his base for interference. Hughey was too anxious to tag DeMont in the third, who stole second in spite of a super throw by Clarke. ’Gene then scored. eMont’s stop and fielding of Keeler’s drive in the fourth was superb. It was a close decision, but Keeler was safe, and then began the slaughter. In the grand change that took place in this inning, Clarke went down to first, giv- ing Doyle a rest, as his left arm hurt him much where he had been struck by Ger- man. Not to be outdone in the changing, Manager Schmelz trotted out McAuley, Flynn and Abbey, and the scorers liad their trouble in keeping clear from entan- glements. It seemed the visitors were beaten beforo the game started, and their play was marked by the listlessness so apparent in their work since the transfer of Joyce. Of the infield DeMont was the only one whom the game did not bore. This little man will some day be a great shortstop— if he is not a Breat one already. He made gome Jenningsesque fielding plays yester- day, and hit the ball much better than any one else on his side, while his base running was in @ class alone from that of his fel- low-players, He was the only one to make guy success of stealing bases, and brought in the only two earned runs for his side. The others played with a marked indiffer- ence, and Farrell was woefully weak on ground balls, “What do you think this change in the! om York management means, deposing irwin and.making Joyce captain and man- ager?” was asked Manager Hanlon. “It means,” was the reply, “that if the club wins under Joyce, that he will continue in charge and Irwin get the ‘hooks.’ And the club will win. It would have won anyhow under Irwin. It will win, perhaps, two- thirds of its games on the home grounds. That means that Joyce will continue in charge.” Baltimore and Washington have playe} all their twelve games for this season, and the champions have won ten out of the twelve. Of the two games won by Wash- ington, one was early in the season at Union Park with Boyd in the box, after Anderson had been hammered out in the first inning. It was the first game Pond lest. The second game lost was in Wash- lugton. It was raining end McMahon could not control the ball. “Silver King” pitched for Washington, New Men With the Colonels, Louisville and Cleveland played eleven innings, and the game wound up a tle. The contest was one of the most interesting of the season. Pickering and Dolan, late of the Virginia League, made their debut as Colonels, and created a favorable impres- sion. LOUISVILLE. CLEVELAND.

The United Wheelmen of the District will hold an adjourned meeting this evening taxes and have been interchangeable with- out discrimination. The present action of the banks of Canada is undoubtedly the result of a fear that the country may be forced to a silver basis. Greenbacks and treasury rotes are redeemable in gold and against such bills the Canadian banks meke no discrimination. Acting Secretary of the Tr-asury Curtis has called attention to the fact that in 1893 the banks of Buenos Ayres refused to accept exchange on the United States because of the fear that it might suspend gold payments. Other treasury officials said that, in their refusal to accept our silver or its equiva- lent in silver certificates, which Canada has heretofore received for convenience sake, her banks were simply exercising a discrimination which we exercised. Our banks do not accept Canadian or any other foreign silver coin at par. European coun- tries do tre same thing. The French franc cr the German mark, when it crosses the border, is received a discount. They circulate at par only in thelr own country. Some of the Canadian street railroad com- panies have also given notice that they will not accept our silver after January 1. Canadian coins are not accepted now by the United States street railroad com- panies, except along the immediate border, the finger nail on the same finger.

The tennis tournament for the champion- ship of the eastern states, in doubles, was continued at Narragansett Pier yesterday before a large and fashionable gathering.

The Australians in their second innings were all out for 44 runs, making a total for Aus- tralia of 163 runs. Thus, England won by 66 runs. ‘There were immense crowds at the Oval, where the cricket match was decided today, and much disappointment was expressed at the International Athletic Park at 8 o'clock. The meeting will immediately fol- low the race of the intercity teams, and it where they can find their way back into the dominion at once.

Tricky German Agents. William Washington, a prominent colored rider, made an attempt to lower the Bal- tmore-Washington record last Sunday, by the short route. This was his second at- tempt, the first time making the distance a few minutes over the existing record. ‘The hot weather prevented a successful second attempt, the time being some min- utes higher than the record, but not dis- couraged by this Washington will make another attempt. He 1s confident of lower- Ing the record. Crack British Yachts Race. RYDE, Isle of Wight, August 12.—Caress, Allsa, Britannia, Satanita, Isolde, Corsair and Meteor started this morning in this order in a race for prizes amounting to £500 ($2,500). One of the United States consular officers stationed in Germany has sought to attract the attention of American manufacturers to the danger of accepting resident Ger- mans as agents for the sale of their wares without taking precautions to learn some- thing of the character of the person se- leeted. He cites the case of a firm of Os- wego pumpmakers, who gave the agency for the sale of their goods in Germany to what they supposed to be a reputable firm, ard filled with satisfaction and expectation an order for six of their finest pumps to start the trade. The German agent turned out to be engaged in the same line of busi- ness—pumpmaking—and he had taken the American pumps apart, and using them as patterns, was making duplicates in num- bers for the German market. ‘There was no way to reach and punish this character of fraud, so the consul seeks to warn American merchants against like decep- ticns. — Concert at the Capitol Grounds. ‘The program of music at the Marine Band concert at the Capitol grounds this after- noon, beginning at 5:30 o’clock, is as fol- lows: C march, “Grover Clevelan: (WNew.)

A complaint has been lodged with the State Depertment by a resident of Colorado against the goverrment of Mexico because they have refused to extradite two Mexi- cans who murdered his brother, a resident of New Mexico named Reed, and then fled into Mexico. The governor of New Mex- ico, as is warranted by the treaty between the two countries, called directly on the powernee, ef the neighboring state of Chi- uahua for the surrender of the men, but was refused on the ground that the evi- dence was insufficient, It is probable that application now will be made through the regular channels for the extradition of the men, p “Castelberg’s.

The apparatus, which is described in a Danish newspaper, was constructed by @ young boatswain in the Danish navy, and makes it possible to communicate with a ship at a certain anchor ground without any direct line from land. An electric bat- tery is placed on the shore with cne pole in contact with water or moist earth, while the current from the other pole, through @ telegraph key and a revolution interrupter, is conducted to a cable, which is laid out to the anchor ground and placed around the latter in a coil with a diameter of 1,000- 1,200 feet. On board the ship, which Is situated at the anchor ground or a short distance outside the coil, there 1s a small solenoid, with which a telephone is con- nected. When a message is sent from the land a bell sounds on the ship, and the communication is sent by the telegraph key through the telephone instrument. The signals may be based on the Morse al- phabe} The apparatus may also be so con- structed that an answer can be sent from the ship. The inventor thinks he will suc- ceed in making it possible to speak through the instrument, as in the case of the com- mon telephone. Vessels at sea, it is said, will be able to telegraph to each other when eech has a solenoid on board. The distance at which they will be able to do so will depend on the length of wire and strength of the electric batteries. —_——_ 2 -____.
