The men from the land of pretty women, fine whisky and fast horses again finished } second to the Senators yesterday, the vic- tory of the home team being due to the pitching of Dr. McJames and the inability of the visitors to safely connect with the ball. The young man from the Palmetto state was, nevertheless, wild as a follower of Herr Most, passing five men, hitting an- other, and pitching wildly four times. Nevertheless, he allowed but five hits, all singles, and one of them of the scratch or- der. On the other hand, Fraser, for the Colonels, was safely connected with ten different times, the Flying Dutchman's hit being a three-bagger to left center. The visitors scored one in the first inning, Clark walking, stealing second, taking third on a passed ball, and home when McGuire successfully threw to second Neither side scored until the fourth, when, with .one out, Selbach walked, stole sec- ond, went to third on DeMontreville’s out at first, and home on McGuire's hit over second. The next inning both sides scored. With one gone, Johnson was passed to first, assisted to second by a wild pitch, and just succeeded in getting home on Fraser's hit to right, Abbey making a great throw to the plate, which failed just by a fraction. After Reilly died in his team’s half, Abbey secured a pass, was sacrificed to second by O’Brien, and then Dr. McJames astonished every one, bim- self not excepted, by hitting safely to right center, scoring Abbey, but dying ut second on an attempt to make it a two-bagger. In the sixth Selbach robved Werden of a homer by a great catch near che ecore board. In their half, the Senators clinched mat- ters. Brown walked, Selbach flew out to Werden in attempting to bunt, and then De Montreville hit to center. McGuire fol- lowed with one to right, scoring Brown, De Montreville going to third, reaching home on Tucker's scratch hit to short. Dexter threw to catch McGuire off second, and when the ball hit the Washington wind paddist, it rolled out to left, and both ad- vanced. Reilly then hit to center, scoring both men. Abbey flew out to right, and Reilly died at second. Two more runs were secured by the Sen- ators in eighth, Selbach hitting to left cen- ter for three bases, and scoring on a wild pitch. De Montreville hit to left, McGuire to right, DeMontreville going to third, from which he scored on Tucker's sacrifice. In the next innirg a collision between Brown and Abbey, when the latter had Werden’s long fly in hand, enabled Perry to reach third, and a moment later he scored on Dexter’s hit to right.

Than at Any Time During the Season. — If for some reason or other the National League championship race were brough- to a sudden termination today, it would be a matter of comment to find the champion batsman out of the game with an ‘attack of the mumps. Nevertheless, such would be the case, for Washington’s sligh:, fragile-locking pitcher is still leading the league batsmen. As he has played in but thirteen games, however, the least falling off in his work would rob him of the lead, while etther Keeler, Delehanty or Duffy, who have played a third of their games, and whose percentage is more settled,would forge to the frent. The high position of Baltimore's diminu- tive right fielder, Keeler, is made netabie by the fact that he has hit safely in every cne of the forty-three games played.

Lester German, who has played in but seven games, leads, followed by Mercer. Tom Tucker’s good work with the ash has put him above the .400 mark, and De- Montreville has picked up sufficiently to again be classed with the league's leaders. The East Washington boy is also the only player who has participated in every game. Farrell, Brown and Abbey have all in- creased their percentages during the past two weeks. Reilly has fallen off a trifle, and McGuire and O'Brien, although they have batted well recently, have not yet reached the .300 circle, where they belong. Selbach leads In base running.

The last game of the series with Louis- yille will be played this afternoon, with Pitchers Hill and Swaim officiating for their respective clubs. Through the cour- tesy of both clubs, today has been made a “Ladies’ day’ and the fair sex will likely be present in large numbers. Earl Wagner was a happy man last night, although he was the victim of a bet with McGuire. The latter bet him the cigars— not a box, if you please, as Mac is not as sporty as that—that he would make three hits off of Fraser’s delivery. McGuire had to go after a couple of wild pitches to win his bet, but He hammered out the neces sary trio of hits just the séme. The Louisville players started in to “kid” McJames wien he went on the rubber, but when they discovered the puzzle he was they left off. They likewise opened on Charley Reilly, but the great work of that player on the third corner was an eye cpener for them.

The tournament will commence neat Saturday evening. There is still time to enter. The rules adopted are the same as those in the spring tournament. Each competitor plays one game a week, and one game with every other player. There are three prizes and the entrance fee is $1. The match between Captain P. O'Farre'l of this city and Mr. J. W. Harris of Alex andria was won by the captain by the de- cisive score of 5 to 0. The play in these games was of a high order of merit. The captain is now desirous of meeting the winner in the Wright-Walker match in a ccntest for the championship of the Dis- | trict of Columbia. Mr. W. A. Gwyer, jr., | has also expres: a@ desire to meet th winner in said match, and among the prob- abilities is a match between Captain O'Far- rell and Mr. Gwyer. Mesers. E. A. Tibbitts and W. A.

It repre- sents him on a railway car with a pocket chess board in hand studying some gume. It will also be news to many to learn that George Vanderbilt, the cwner of Biltmore, at Asheville, N.
