Mr. Courtney tried to remedy the matter this morning by vigorous work, but while there was some improvement, there was rot enough to make the boat go smoothly. The Pennsylvania oarsmen, on the con- | trary, are rowing well and fast, and while their form {s not so good as that of Co- lumbia, their endurance at a high stroke {s something to be wondered at. They are handicapped by not having any Substitutes, and if there are any aches or pains among the members of the crews, they must stand them and row, if possible.

Mr. Cowles of Columbia: “I am not at liberty to divulge the time made by my ‘varsity crew over three mile stretches, but it is very satisfactory to me, and to the directors, and I think that the crew that wins the race will have to row faster than they did last week.” ‘The ‘varsity crew of Pennsylvania was taken out late last evening and started over the course up the river. Ward found that it was slack water and so sent the crew down, with no advantage from tide and against a head wind. The crew rowed the first mile in 4.50, the second in 5.40 and the third in 5.40, completing the three miles in 16 minutes and 10 seconds, faster time by a ‘good deal than that made last Friday under more favorable conditions. Bent the Record of Cornell in Last Friday's Race by a Good Margin. ‘The anncuncement was made last night at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., that in a time trial the Pennsylvania ‘varsity beat the record of last Friday's race by a big margin. It has added much zest to the speculation on the coming race, but does not materially alter the sentiment that Cornell will win, for it is believed the Ithacans can also im- prove greatly on their past work. The Pennsylvania crew, with the same Guessing of the Experts, POUGHKEEPSIE, N. ¥., June 29.—The rowing experts here today are considering with some perplexity the outcome of the of tomorrow and Friday. The fact that the Columbias are doing remarkably sod work in their beat has upset many of the calculations. Added to this 1s the fact t Mr. Courtney of Cornell, whose crew supposed to have a sure thing of it, is quoted as saying that he expected that his two crews will have to row harder to win tris week than they rowed last. Columbia seems to be the favorite for the freshman race tomorrow, but in view of the disas- trous occurrences to the selections of the experts last week it is hardly safe to pick a winner. This much can be said, how- ever, that the Columbia freshman crew is a very lively one, and sits in the boat in a better shape and rows in better form than any of the others. The Cornell freshmen are lopsided in the boat, and the rudder centinualiy impeded the boat's progress be- RACING AT BRIGHTWOOD PARK. Trotting and Running Events to Re Decided Next Monday.

Mr. Belmont wrenched his leg in the be- ginning of the third period, and the game was stopped for several minutes. He was not, however, injured to any serious ex- tent. In this period, while W. C. Eustis was riding off one of the Dedham team, his pony, which was running at a rattling gait, slipped and fell, and turned a complete somersault. Mr. Eustis was thrown nearly 30 feet. He also turned a complete somer- sauit and landed squarely on the top of his head and left shoulder. His escape from a serious injury was remarkable. Beyond a severe shaking up, and a few bruises, he escaped unhurt. He remounted his pony and played to the end of the game.

They made a great stagger for it, and at More than one stage’there was a queer feeling among the 2,417 spectators, for the three disasters to the Phillies at the capl- tal last week had not been forgotten. It was a red-hot struggle all the way, each side playing the most aggressive style of ball, and, strange to say, it was one in which the issue, both in the field and at the bat, rested with the pitchers, Wheeler may be credited with winning his own game by his individual batting. Three times he hii safely and three times he scored. Cn the other hand, Dr. James Mc- James couldn't have hit a foot ball with a bat the size of a telegraph pole. Three tumes he had golden opportunities: once, with men on third and first, again with men on third and second, and once with a man on second. Each time there were two occupants of the bag he struck out, and on the other occasion he poked outa weak grounder. For excitement the game beat anything seen at the park this year. The Phillies were determined to show their old friends that they can play the game, and the ar- ticle they put ip is worthy of the greatest praise. The faster they played the more determined the Senators were to win out. Every man was on the jump, and the way Cooley, Dowd, Deiahanty, Lajole and Geier soaked the ball on the stitches and stole bases was a sight to make the root- ers’ nerves tingle. Jack Boyle was in evidence, too, especial- ly in the seventh, when Brown's being given safe at firg, caused such a howl that John B. kicked Juntil he was black in the Tace and was put ot of the game. Two more ex-Phillies, Charley Reilly and Jim McGuire, were aiso much in evidence. Each patted the hor: le for three hits and the former nailed three would-be purloin- ers of second base by the prettiest throws that ever cut across the diamond. The way in which "Gene De Montreville, the Senators’ $J 3 beauty, handled the busi- ness end of these plays, as well as many others that went his way, caused him many rounds of applajse. Tom Brown made the greatest throw of, th} year on the grounds when he threw ®t on the fly from cen- ter into McGuire's hands and put out Geier, who tried to score from second on a single. Delahanty landed two flies after long runs, and Geier dittoed on a foul near the bleach- ers. Altogether it was an afternoon of star plays, and credit belongs to the de ated as well as to the victors. In try! to stop a grounder in the eighth Reilly was hurt and German took his place. Washington had the first crack at the new bail. Selbach walked and was forced at second on De Montreville's grounder to Gillen. Dowd threw wild to first, in at- tempting a double play, and De Montreville reached second. McGuire singled to right, scoring De Montreville. Wheeler stopped Geier’s return and threw to second, catch- ing McGuire. Cooley opened on McJames with a single. Dowd hit a slow one to De Montreville, who, seeing he could not catch either runner, made a bluff to throw to first. Cooley saw the move and darted for third, while De Montreville made a stab for him. Emslie said “not out,” and Dowd took advantag: Del's single of the kick to go to second. scored both runne Lajoie fied to Tucker, and when Boyle hit to Reilly, the “Princeton Fashion Plate” threw to second to catch Delahanty, when he hadn't a chance in a thousand to make the play. Geier’s single scored Delahanty, and sent Boyle to third. Phil stole second. Gillen’s safety sent Boyle home, but the former was thrown out trying to steal second, and Cross flied to Brown. Wheeler began the second for Philadelphia with a single, took second on Cooley’s sacrifice, and scored on Delahanty’s double. Both sides scored in the fourth. One was out when McGuire doubled, and Tucker, Reilly and Wrigley singled, producing two runs. Wheeler began the locals’ half with a double and tapped the rubber on Cooley's single. The latter and Delahanty, who also singled, were thrown out trying to steal second. ‘The Senators came closer in the fifth, when Selbach made the circuit on a double, De Montreville’s foul to Delahanty and McGuire's single. Two were out when Geler reached first on De Montreville’s muff, stole second and was thrown out at the plate on a beautiful throw by Brown, after Gillen had singled. The visitors tied the score in the seventh. Brown singled and reached third on wild throws by Cross and Lajoie and Selbach’s grounder. The latter reached second on the play. Ground- ers by the next pair to Gillen allowed the two runners to score. Lajoie and Geier singled for the locals, but Gillen’s ground- er to De Montreviile resulted in a double play. Wheeler pulled out of a hole in the eighth. Reilly singled, Abbey walked and Wrigley sacrificed. McJames fanned and Brown lifted one to Delahanty. The win- ning run was scored by Philadelphia in the eighth. With one out Wheeler singled and was safe at second when Wrigley dropped Reilly's throw on _ Cooley’s grounder. Wheeler took third on Cooley's being forced by Dowd. Delahanty hit a hard one straight at Reilly, who was hurt trying to field the ball, and Wheeler came home. WaSHINGTON: PHILADELPHIA.

MAKING uP paring for the Congressional Base Ball Match. The Senate-House base bell game is a go if the Senate team does not flunk, and Senator Clark says that there ts no danger of a backdown upon the part of the Senate. Senator Clark and the senators who have consented to play on the senatorial team wish it understood that they are in earnest about the matter, and that there is no in- tention of talking a lot and doing nothing. Stnator Clark declared that the undertak- ing is praiseworthy and has been commend- ed a3 one deserving of success. He waa sure, he said, that the game would net a large sum for charitable purposes. ‘The senatorial teem remains practically as given in Saturday's Star. Senator Till- man has consented to play on the team. He will not do much practicing, how as he will leave for lowa the last of this week to make several speeche Ie July 3, and in Des Moines, Jul Regarding a rumor that he hi Senator Stewart to join the senatorial team, Senator Clark said that he did not know that he would want the services of Serator Stewart. ‘He is too gay.” said the Wyoming sena- tor, “and might delay the game.” Representative Jones of Washington, who is in charge of the House team, has found no trouble in securing a big list of players from whom to pick. He has not seen as many democrats as republicans, but will secure as many of the latter as of the mer. So far he has obtained the conse ten democrats and about six repub! and is satisfied that he will have twenty-five or thirty men from w pick. Among the most prominert demo- crats who have consented to enter the are Messrs. Hinrichsen of Illinois, atrick of Kentucky, Brucker of Mich- igan and Cooper of Texas. Mr. Hinrichsen may be placed on first base; Mr. Fitzpat- rick wants to cateh or pitch. The most prominent republicans talked of are Messrs. Moody of Massachusetts, Dennis of New York and W. A. Stone of Pennsylvania. Mr. Jones thinks that he will be ready within four or five days to announce the composition of the team, and he is so fully salisticd that the Hous? will win that he is enthusiastic on the subject. Base Ball Notes. Emslie’s blunder in not seeing DeMont touch Cooley on the line probably los: the game for the Senators yesterday. Bod also made a bad misplay when he over- looked the blocked ball in the grand stand on his last visit to this city. Considerable hard luck goes with these oversights. Tom Brown, not to be outdone by Wrig- ley, cut loose yesterday from center field and threw squarely into McGuire's hands, catching the runner at the home plate. Plays of this order demonstrate emphatl- cally that a player is doing his best for the club that employs him. All the newspapers in Boston, Baltimore and New York have come io the cenclu- sion that one of the trio of the clubs repre- senting those cities will win the pennant or at the very least play for the Temple cup, and not a word is said about Cin- cimnatt or Cleveland. It 1s a long way from home yet; the Cincinnatis are play- ing consistent ball all along, and the Clevelands have regained their second breath and will come fast from this on. With the New Yorks and “incinnatis in the cup series the graft divided among the players would be the largest since that trophy was offered by Mr. Temple. Daniel Shannon, who managed the local team for a while in $1 and played second, has resigned the management of the Rochester base ball team, and George Weidman, the old-time player, has been named his successor. Three umpires popularly beli2ved to be the best on the league staff are not per- mitted to umpire on the New York grounds. Freedman has requested President Young not to send either Hurst, Lynca or Emsiie to the Poio grounds. George W. Blackburn of Dallas, Tex., base ball pitcher, and the latest acquisi- tion to the champion Oriole nine, arrived in Baltimore yesterday an registered at the Eutaw House. He will report for or- ders at Union Park at 10 o'clock this morn- ing. There will probably be a change in the management of the Atlantic City base ball team. Harry Mackey, who was ideatiliea with the team last season, is striving to regain the lease given Ted Sullivan. night they held a meeting at which th were represented by counsel, but ‘could SHAKE INTO YOUR SHOES oe ae Allen's Fcot-Ease, a the feet. t and insta: reach ‘no agreement, and they parted to discuss it again tomorrow evening. Dr. Brady and another physician held a consultation over Jennings, the injured Bal- timore ball player, at the Broadway Cen- tral Hotel, New York, at 10 o’ciock last night. They found that he was suffering from a slight concussion of the brain, snd that there were no signs of a frac-ure. Jennings had talked irrationafly at inter. vals early in the evening. Late last night he talked coherently of the accident. He will be able, it is thought, to play m three or four days. Defeat 1s always as bitter a dose as quinine and redeye, but it is doubly so when brought about by a hit made by some batsman notoriousty weak. “Clara” Pasne won his own game from Pittsburg the other day by looping a hit over the shortsto»'s head, and Brodie, in mourning at the post- mortem, wailed: “Why, he went at that ball like a woman using a crutch!” There is where the uncertainty of the game comes in. There are times when a batsman with an average of .067 can make a Lit off the premier curve tosser of the land. Ted Sullivan's Atlantic City squad is at work, says an exchange. Sullivan tells one good story of his effort to build up a team. “You know,” sa: he, “most of the boys are students. They are supposed to be playing for love and expect their money to be put in their clothes when they are not looking so that they can preserve their amateur standing. I met one University of Pennsylvania boy, who intimated that $200 a month would about suit kim. ‘You know, Mr. Sullivan,’ said he to me, ‘I want to make a showing on the board walk.’ Wouldn't that paralyze you? Well, I told him: ‘My lad, for $200 I'd expect you to make a pretty good showing right out on that diamond.” If the trade of Smith for Corcoran had not been made, the Cincinnatis would have been in a nice fix without the services of McPhee. Tommy Corcoran is the only player that the Cincinati club ever had that could begin to fill second base when Bid was out of the game. Heretofore with Bid off the bag the Reds have been easy pick- ing for any and all teams. Tommie Cor- coran is playing second now as good as any player tn the league. He is not many points behind Bid himself. Ground balls | hit between first and second are easy for him, and he can catch a thrown bali and put it on a runner as fast as any man in the business. Dolan, the shortstop of the Louisvilles, has volunterily retired from the business. Saturday's game was the first that Dolan had taken part in for nearly a month. He hurt his throwing arm early this spring and until Saturday has been at Lowell nursing it. He thought that it was a great deal better and Joined the team here day before yesterday. The first throw that he made was a quick, snappy one, and he k then that his arm was far from being well. Dolan ts a conscientious id not care about drawing money from the Louisville club management for work he could not perform. Yesterday he told President Pulliem that he would like to | be released. “I am drawing money under false pretenses,” said poor Dolan, sorrow- fully. “let me go and get some one In my place.” Harry Pulliam, whose heart is as dig as his head, told Dolan that his salary would go on until July 1. Then he would permit him to lay off indefinitely. “If your arm comes ateund again,” said President Fulliam, “we will give you another chance. —Cincinnati Enquirer. +Some Philadelpbin Comment. From Tod Philadelphia Times, Reilly’s friends were out in force. The Senators worked hard for the game. Tucker scems to have lost some of his old-time vim. McGuire's throwing to second was accu- racy itself. Always remember that the visitors have some rights. It’s a wonder Emslie doesn't Montreville out of the game. The Senators can kick some, even when sion does not require. Cooley was properly given out for inte-- fering with Reilly in the sixth. Brown's throw to the plate in the fifth, catching Geler, was a beauty. Washington's mascot was a little hunch- backed boy, but it failed to work. Brown clearly beat out the ball which caused all the kick in the seventh, Why didn’t Geier come home when Me- Guire threw to second to catch Gillen? Tucker is the only first baseman In the league who wears a small giove, all the rest using catchers’ mitts. HAVE BEEN HITTING HARD. Work of the Senators Daring the Re- cent Games at Home.
