German then came into the fray and did good work as usual, allowing the home team but three runs in five innings. The Browns had their best twirler on the rubber, Donohue, who has always been a puzzie to the Washington club, and he again kept the hits so well scattered that the runs necessary to win were kept from being tallied. Both teams fielded fairly well, the Browns getting two misplays and the Senators three, DeMontreville and Cartwright being the transgressors this time. The fielding features were plays by Wrigley and Tur- ner. The Washington boy came in on the run and caught a fly in short right field and then as quick and as true as a die he threw the ball to the home plate, making a sensational double play. The play of Turner's really saved the game for the Browns. Two runs were needed to tle the score and two were out when O’Brien hit a fly to right field that had all the ear- marks of a home run. “Tuck” turned his back to the ball and sprinted for fully fifty yards and then captured the sphere as it Was going over the fence. 2° E B Fa ‘Turner, Hartman, 3 1 Murphy, ‘ib..

The Phillies were again confronted with. a Garrison fimsh at Cleveland yesterday, the Spiders winning the contest from the Quakers in the ninth inning by the score of 10 to 9. Cuppy pitched good ball for the heme club until the eighth inning, when several bad errors allowed the visitors to score seven runs. Carsey had been doing good work for the Quakers, but he, too, went to pieces in the ninth, and as a re- sult four runs came over the plate, enough to give the game to the Clevelands.

The Senators wind’up théir series in St. Louis today, and Mercer will probably do the pitching for them, thereby enhancing ouy chances of getting’ at least two games out of three. ‘Hugh Nicol, the old St. Louts and Cin- cthnati right fielder. has been appointed manager of the Browns, in place of wad, and a brace in that team’s playing for a day .or two can be looked for. Nicol joins the: team today. Pitcher Hutchinson of the St. Louis has been traded to‘Minneapolis for Outfielder Lally, and for the first time this season the St. Louis club will have a reguler out- field. Third Baseman Hartman of the St. Louis was spiked by German in yesterday's game and hurt so badly that he had.to re- tire frem the game, Douglas going to third and Catcher Murphy to first. ‘That Boston team geems to be rounding into shape with great speed. Charley Nichols is himself again, and the players back of him are putting up a great game of ball. The Beaneaters have won i0 out of 13 games on the western trip, a record that has. only been equaled by the Orioles, but they have played more games. than the oyster openers. Since Joyce has settled down to play- ing ball instead of kicking, the New Yorks have been putting up a better game and are winning. “Ducky” Holmes appears to be rounding into good shape, and will help the Giants along materially. The Brooklyn team's playing is surpris- ing several of the western ‘clubs, who had the tmpression that the Bridegrooms were @ weak aggregation. Barme 1s keeping the boys under him straight this season, and it is no sure bet Toei will not be in the first division at It looks now as if Manager Stallings would have to go.

The action of the Baltimore players in ascribing their defeat at Cincinnati to the umpire is babyish. The Orioles have be- come so accustomed to winning that when they lose they look everywhere else but at themselves for the cause of the defeat. Baltimore is only four games ahead of Boston, and appears worried as she glances ver her shoulder.

GENERAL SPORTING FIELD NEW YORK, May 26.—The picked team of Phitadelpaia cricketers who are to play fifteen matches in England in the next two mcnths sailed on the American line steam- ship St. Paul today. The men composing this team were selected from the crack Philadelphia clubs—the Belmont, Haver- ford, Philadelphia, Germantown, Marion and Ticga. They are George 8. Patterson, captain; B. H. Clark, F. H. Bohlen, L. Biddle, F. W. Ralston, C. Coates, jr., H. L. Clark, J. B. King, J. A. Lester, E, M. Cregar, H. C. Thayer, F. H. Bates and H. P. Batley. A. M. Ward, another member of the team, sailed for England two weeka ago. “Our trip,” said Milton C. Work, who accom- panies the team as manager, “will last un- til the end of July. We first go to London, then to Oxford, to Manchester, to Cam- bridge, to Brighton and back to London. Each of these places we remain three days. The strongest teams we expect to meet are the Marylebone and Yorkshires. But we are in splendid condition, and we ought to win at least five or six games. Two of our members—Patterson and Batley—were with the team which went to England in 1889. “While all the games will be over in the latter part of July the buik of the mem- bers do not expect to -eturn before August 7 or 8 They separate after the games, and each will move independently.” On the St. Paul there sailed 11so Walter S. Hipple, the sprinter. Hipple is a mem- ber of the Barnard School and the New Yerk Athletic Club. He is the half-mile champion of the lnterscaolastic Associa- tion. Hipple will contest with some of England's crack ruan2rs. NEW ENGLAND TE TENNIS, Opening the Annual Tourna: ent at New Haven. Referee Joseph T. Whittelsey started the matches for the New England tennis cham- Pionship at New Haven, Conn., yesterday afternoon. The grounds were a trifle heavy, but the playing was of a high order and the attendance good. C. P. Dodge, the Yale champion, was the only player to win two matches. The most interesting match today will be that between George Sheldon, last year's Yale champion, and Driscoll of George- town University, who has just won the southern tournament. It is thought now that either Driscoll or Parker, the New York crack, will take the local tourna- ment. The surprise of yesterday was the defeat of Wilson, one of the best Chicago players, by Richard Hooker of Yale. Young Hook- er is one of Yale's cleverest players, but he was hardly thought fast enough to down the western star. The results in yesterday's play follow: Pre! ary Re dd. S. G.

The second of the series of five long-dis- tance races for old birds belonging to mem- bers of the National Capital Flying Club, took place Sunday from Rennert, N. C., an airline distance of 301 miles. Mr. T. J. Ray, Southern express agent at Rennert, wired the race secretary of the ciub that the pigeons were liberated at 5:35 a.m., and that the weather was fair and wind southeast. Owing to more favorable weath- er conditions the average speed made in this race was several hundred yards great- er than the same pigeons made from Kitt- rell, N. C., the 200-mile station, on the 16th instant, when the wind was dead against them the,entire distance. The last race was won by Col. Joseph whose first bird arrived at 11:05 a.m.,. having made an average speed of 1,610% yards a minute. Tae second place wes won by Mr. L. G. Orndorff. Time of arrival 11:07 a.m., average speed 1,600 yards per minute. Dr. Henry Darling came in third; time, 11:15 a.m.; average speed, 1578 yards. 8.

GOOD RACING AT ROCK RILL, Yesterday's Bicycle Meet Was Su cessfal and Exciting. The bicycle races at Rock Hill, 8. C., yesterday were the most successful ever held there, and were interesting and ex- citing from start to finish. First event, one mile, professional—Won by Al. Newhoe; time, 2:20%; Jack, second; Huffstetter, third. Second race, half mile, open—Schade won; Halstead second; time, 128 1-2. So close was the finish that Halstead’s friends claimed it a tle, but the judges gave it to Sckade, but only with a couple of inches in his favor. Third race, North and South Carolina riders—Oliver first; as second; Turren- tine third: time, 2: Fourth race, teal open—Halstead, Schade and Clark fintshing, respectively; time, 5:24. Fifth race, one mile, city riders—Won by White; time. 3:10. th race, one mile, open—Won by Hal- stead; Schade second; Turrentine third; time, 2:32. Clark, Oliver and Patrick also ran. Seventh race, two miles, professional handicap—Huffstetter won, Coburn second; Jack third; time, 438. Eighth race. five miles, amateur handi- cap—This was decidedly the race of the day, and it is claimed that the world’s record for five-mile handicap w2s broken, time being 12:10. The scratch men finish- ed in 12:112-3. The record is said to be 12:14 This race was beat out by Patrick, ‘the Columbia boy, from the 260-yard mark, Oliver having 230 yards, Halstead, Schade nd Clark cn scratch. Oliver dropped out in the fifteenth lap, and after resting a round, started in again, and set pace for Patrick for a lap and a half. For this the scratch men entered a protest, and the referee had to disqualify Patrick fur ac- cepting pacing. The rules are very strict on this point. This gave the race to Schade as being next to finish, with Hal- stead second. Patrick appealed to the na- tional racing board, and the prizes will be held for their decision. ‘The University of Pennsylvaria eight will row the Naval Academy eight at Annapo- lis Saturday.

To those who are acquainted with Capt. L. L. Blake of the Mount Vernon and Marshall Hall Steamboat Company, the fact that any labor organization of the District should be antagonistic to him was a surprise. In conversation today with a Star re- porter, Captain Blake said such action on the part of union men was to him incom- Erehersibie, and certainly had no founda- tion in fact. He had, he said, for many years employed none but members of or- ganized union labor societies for the work in any line for which there was craft or- ganization here, and he was anxious to do so in the future. In order to be consistent in this regard, and to keep as much money as possible at home, he had had work dene by union men in Washington when he could have had the same work performed for iess money in Baltimore. He was the first steamboat man in the District, he sald, to concede to the painters the eight-hour work day, and he intended, he said, to treat union men with the same degree of fair- ness and liberality in the future as he had in the past. Mr. Sumuel Jones, who has been in the employ of Captain Blake for twenty-two years past as a painter, and who is now his superintendent of repairs, said that Captain Blake and Captain Ridley of the Washington Steamboat Company were the first steamboat owners in Washington to pay painters $3 for eight hours’ work, and that they had done so for about ten years.
