It was a case of the hit that was longed for not coming in yesterday's game be- tween the Brooklyn and Washington clubs, the former winning by the score of 8 to 7. Eleven Senators left on bases tells the story of the game; six opportunities when a hit would have brought in runs, but the batsman in eace case failed. Jimmy McJames was sent in to pitch at the beginning of the game for the Sena- tors, and, although the heavy hitters of the visitors found his delivery hard to solve, the men down at the bottom of the list, who are supposed to be weak hitters, plunked out singles, doubles and nome runs when they counted the most.

SNYDER & WOOD, TAILORS, 1111 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE. ap24-14d command was too good, as he got the ball over the plate too often, and hits resuited. In the fifth inning “Silver” King relieved the student-physician, and, although touched up pretty lively in the sixth, his exhibition was quite satisfactory, but five hits being obtained off of his delivery, two of them doubles. Daniei Daub was the first pitcher for the Brooklyns, and he pitched like a house afire until the fifth inning, but two singles being obtained by the Senators in the tirst four innings. In the fifth Daub seemed to quit like a yellow-streaked crawfish, and that, too, after (wo men were out. Four singles were tapped off the reel in quick succession, one of them, a beauty by Cart- wright, and then came Captain Tom Brown's timely home run into the right field bleachers, bringing in two men ahead of him. Two bases on balls followed, but Lush stopped the heart-breaking excite- ment by going out to Griffin in center. Kennedy came into the game in the sixth irning, and but one hit, that of DeMontre- ville’s, was registered off his delivery in the clcsing four innings. The feature of the game, from a senato- rial standpoint, was the playing of DeMon- treviile at short, and the exhibition he gave of how to hit the ball successfully, making four singles out of five turns at the bat. From a Brooklyn point of view, Jimmy Canavan was easily the bright particular star, his flelding being of the most sensa- ticnal order, while at the bat he smashed the ball like a fiend, getting a homer, a double and a singie, scoring a run each time. This gentlemanly player has been in and out of the big league a couple of times, and when he was signed by Brooklyn this year to replace Tom. Daly, second base Was pointed out to be the weak spot in the infield. The exhibition given by this player in the two games here stamps him as being first-class in every particular, and that the Brooklyn club is strengthened fully 25 per cent is very evident to every student of the game. Luck entered into the game to a big ex- tent in the matter of the ball hit by O’Brien into the right field bleachers. The ball went foul by only two feet, and there were three men on bases at the time. As the ball went on a line toward the right-fleld stand everybody arose to thefr feet, and as Tim. Hurst called foul a groan went up, and a general chorus of “Hard luck” fol- lowed. Yesterday being ‘Ladies’ day” about 2,500 of Washington's fairest gathered at the grounds, and the display of millinery and dressmaking was both extremely brilliant ard bewildering. They began coming as early as 2 o'clock, and by the time the game was calied the big grand stand was ~~ | almost tilled. Mr. Hurst umpired another good game, although he might have given the Senators a little the best of it in the matter of the play at first between Lush and LaChance, when they both slid for the initial bag, without troubling his conscience very much.

Box parties were popular yesterday, about a dozen occupying the places of van- tage, many ladies being among the num- ber. The Senators open up with the New Yorks Monday at the Polo ground, and a great game is expected. Rusie will prob- ably pitch his initial game for the home club, while Mercer will try to get his first victory of the season. The Senators are in the second six, that is certain, but the season is young, and then look at the distinguished company they have—Boston, Cleveland, Chicago and New York. Manager Stallings of the Philadelphia club was run down by a trolley car yester- day at noon while crossing the track on his bicycle. The machine was broken to pieces, and the lucky rider landed squarely in the fender on his back. The manager was out at the grounds in the afternoon, looking none the worse for his thrilling ex- perience. Next Thursday the Senators have the Bostons for opponents out at National Park; then they follow the Beaneaters home for three games. The Baltimores then come to Washington for three games, and for the next month the Senators wili be taking their medicine in the west. PARLIAMENT VS. CONGRESS.

The last game in the championship tour- ney of the Washington Chess Club whs played last Saturday evening, the contest- ants being Messrs. Hanna and'Tharp. Mr. Hanna secured the advantag>, gaining a piece, and Mr. Tharp lost the game on the time limit, being ten moves detind at the end of two hours. The following is the final standing of the players: Walker. 1% 8% Harris and O'Farrell will play off the tie for fourth and fifth prizes, and Gwyer and Tibbetts will play for the special prize of- fered by Dr. Southworth, Mr. Dunham having withdrawn from the coniest. Preparations are being made for an inter- national chess tournament in Berlin this summer. Mr. A. K. Robinson, another of the co- terle of strong players of the Franklin Club of Philadelphia, was in the city the past week. He met several of the strong local players, usually with marked success, winning from Mr. Wright, 3 vo ¥, and also defeating Capt. Walk and others. He contested three games with I. I. Walker, the champion of the Washingvon Chess Club, and lost them ali. One of these games, given below, | 1 forty minutes, the other two about tw2 hours each. Mr. Robinson thought be should have won the second game played, but made a mistake in pushing a pawn. He was disconc by a social remark. The local play: that with correct play the game drawn. The position is interesting and is as follows: White—K B4, P's at KR3, KKt4, KB4 Black Rag. P's at KR5, KKt2 and Qb2. White now thought he should have won by P-—B 5. He moved his king instead, to which Black played P—Kt 3, and ultimate- ly won. ‘The following is the score of the first game played between them: White. Blac White. F.B.Walker. Robinson. | F.1.
