The man that brought the home club good luck was none other than Vice President Hobart, and the Senators needed all the assistance that could be brought for the Orioles yesterday. As a start off dazzling smile and made a break for the bleachers as Selbach’s nard-hit fly was sailing in that direction. Nine players out of ten would have been content to make the try for the ball, but in the face of all obstacles represented by a barbed wire fence, the nimble little fielder jumped into the air against the feace, shoved out his left hand and the ball stuck. The play was undoubtedly one of the nerviest and’ most skillful that has been pulled off at National Park. Another lucky play came the birds’ way in the fourth inning. Doyle hit a liner to left field that would have gone down in the score book as a two-bagger, but a ladder placed against the fence ‘to allow the groundkeeper to regain lost balls acted as a sert of chute, the ball striking the lower rung and bounding over the fence in a twinkle. The Senators have been playing in the worst possible luck in the matter of ba ting, but Vice President Hobart took a hand in this unlucky streak and pulled the sluggers out of their trance. The regaining of the batting eye came at the most op- portune time, for the cefeat of the Balti- more club is as good as getting three straight from any other club. A big delega- tion of the Baltimore rosters arrived in the city yesterday morning and at all the places where local base ball people congre- Bate they could be found offering all sorts of wagers on the game or on the series. As high as 3 to 1 was offered on‘the ‘Irst game at a big down-town'ftesort, and several $10 bills were. postedal these odds. At the grounds all sorts, of taunts were thrown at the locat peoplebut long before the gamé was conc‘uded-the Baittmo-eansg had qu:e.ed down and local fang:took a hand at che talking game. a “Silver” King went, injo the box for the home club, to the disappointment of about three-fourths the people, present,. who expected: to see Maul do the. twirling; but it 1s doubtful whether Mag jwould hav done_as well as tne light-hatrad boy. “Sil- ver". wo ‘eross-fire Wall. fo perfec- tion, but eight hits being scored off of his delivery, and three ofthese came after a chance had been offered to retice the side: With Nops, who did the twirling for the first six innings, the case was different. Every one of the Senators, excepting O’Brien, found the left p: lelivery to his ifking, and the way they tore the leather off the ball was a caution. | Mr. Cogaa-was sent to the sacrifice in the seventh inning, but the work of the fielders back of him was “nough to turn his hair white, and 4s a result four runs went over the plate before the third man was out. In the eighth the 5901 work con- tinued, singles going out vight n Cogan’s delivery. After the-exhibit teiday Marager Hanion will no doupt’ be more careful about tryiag n2w pitchers en the Senators, All through the game the Senators tried for the hit-and-run idea, and as it turned vut, they almost always turned the trick. The Baltimore lads, of course, tried the same work, but King was too much for them, and when they can’t place their nits all their plans flicker out. The features of the game were the catch of Keeler and the triple play mad2 by the fast infield of the Orioles in the sixth in- ning. With King on second and Brown on first, Selbach bunted a short fly to Jack Doyle, who fired the ball to second, catch- ing King off the bag, and Jennings turned ke a flash and threw to Reitz, who had covered first, and caught Brown before even that fleet-footed lad could regain the initial corner. Umpire Timothy Hurst again handled the iz dicator at National Park, and, with Pres- ident Young as a spectator, disregarded the rules time after time. Mr. Hurst dis- likes the idea of fining the players, and the men of both teams took advantage of his kindness at every opp9rtunity, with the result that it was almost 7 o'cloch be- fore the game was concluded. If the ob- jections had been raised on plays that were illegal there might be. some excuse for the kicking, but every close decision raised a howl, and Hurst allowed it to go, although a couple of fines went toward the Orioles before the game was over.

Little Willie Keeler is worth a regiment of players like the Chicago center fielder. Umpire Hurst allows too much back talk. He certainly understands his instructions and should ke2p the players away from him. A $10 fine will do the trick every time. Manager Hanlon evidently took the Sena- tors for a good thing.and thought he would try out his new pitchers. For this opinion "Jack.

Of match resulted, and it won't hap- PGust think of the crowd that was out , time, and, although he failed to do much with the bat, he took care of everything that tame his way on third. Mac was a little unlucky. Abbey's spikes tore his stockings, and came near hurting him riously, and later on he tripped over the first bag and went rolling ail over the field, the fall jarring him considerably. The Baltimore and Washingtons play the second game of the series this afternoon. It being “Ladies’ day,” a tremendous gath- ering is expe:ted. Maul will most likely pitch for the home club, while Pond or Cor- bett will, go on the slab for the visitors, Another fnteresting game should result. The victory of the Senators yesterday took them out of the last hole and landed tkem in tenth place. May their upward flight be continuous until the first division is reached. A dispatch from Fall River says that Pitcher Klobedanz regained his senses yes- terday and decided to rejoin the Boston club, “going direct to Pittsburg. A Boston Gispatch says a little advance in salary brought about the change of heart. Umpire Hurst yesterday fined or threat- ened to fine Kelley, McGraw, Jennings and Doyle. Tebeau's Indians are said to be members of the Kickapoo tribe, with accent on the cl Here ts a question that is probably wor- rying Tebeau. What will he do with Mc- Aleer when Jeems gets over his charles equine? With Blake batting as he has done in the past two games, {t would be foolish to replace him and, of course, Sox apd Burkett are fixtures. McDonald on Wednesday made a peculiar ruling against O'Connor. Jack had waited for three balls and what should have been the fourth he allowed to hit him on the back. McDonald refused to give him his bese and made him wait for another. The ball that hit him was neither a ball, strike, foul or anything else. According to the umpire it was simply something that is not covered by the rules. Pat Tebeau of the Indians is always on the lookout for some trick or scheme that will aid his team in bagging a victory. The latest thing invented by Patsey, so it is sald, is the building of little banks of earth along the base lines—from home to third and from first to home. The idea is that @ rolling ball—especially a bunt—will be kept inside of the diamond and prevented from turning foul. Ely, the man whom some of the sensationalists had dying with consumption @ year ago, has done more than any one Flayer to beat the Reds the four straights. In the game at Cincinnati be made a home run with two men on bases. Yesterday he hit safely four out of five times, twice for triplets, ani scored four runs, besides send- ing in two more with his drives. What a quiet, well-fed and amiable lot those St. Louls Browns are. Win or lose, ey never forget their bringing up. The: waik about with the measured tread of men who feel a trifle uncomfortable in their sur- roundings and fear somebody will notice them. Roger Connor breaks the stillness once in @ while to say, “What, ho!” to the umpire. That is Roger's way of saying: “You're breaking into the wrong house. He knew the umpires before they broke in- to the base ball game, and he will recall old phrases.—Exchange. eee CHEss. In the spring tournament at the Wash- ington Chess Club Mr. Harris won an- other well-earned victory, this time defeat- ing Mandelle. Captain O'Farrell won from Smith in an unusually pretty ending. Mr. Smith had the advantage of the exchange and an advanced passed pawn, when the captain offered a rook for notaing. If Mr. Smith took the rook, the captain wovid have announced mate. He refused it and was mated in about a dozea moves. Mr. Tibbetts won his game from Thomas. Wednesday evening last Mr. Mundelle at- tempted to play the same game on Tucker that he did on Mr. O'Farrell. Mr. Tucker made the correct reply, and won the game.

Wright and F. B. Walker Was played at the rooms of the Washington Chess Club. Mr. Walker won the toss and offered a queen’s gambit, which was de- clined. - Mr. Wrignt played steadily and maneuvered for an advantage on the queen's side. His opponent did not give sufficient heed to these maneuvers and con- sequently Mr. Wright obtained the su- perior position. To prevent the loss of a pawn or the exchange Mr. Walker sacri- ficed a piece for a pawn. After this it was but a question of time when he struck his colors. =Mr.-Wright won in about sixty moves.
