On top of the continuous hitting of Anson’s men, the.piayers back of Mercer had a day off, and but three escaped the erro> column—Brown, Seibach and Farrell. The day was a red hot ene in the Windy city, and but 4,000 spectators turned out to witness the game, a small crowd for that city. The Colts have been playing even worse than the Senators, reputation con- sidered, and this no doubt accounts for the small crowd. For the sirst five innings the Wagnerites didn’t get a man over the home plate, but managed to score in every inning there- after. Farrell and McGuire had gone out in the sixth when Reilly got a base on balls. Abbey then hit to Callahan, who was playing second in place of Connor, who is sick, and he fumbled it and allowed the ball to go into center. Reilly kept on to third and home, beating out a pretty throw in} to the plate by Lange. In the seventh after O’Brien had gone a | out, third to first, German hit in the same direction and Everitt fumbled. Then Wrig- ley, who had replaced Brown in center, singled over second and German went to third and home on Selbach’s hit toward third, Wrigley going to third on the latter's out. DeMoent then drove a hot one toward third and Everitt again fumbled, Wrigley scoring. : Two more runs came home in the eighth. McGnire got his base on balls and came all the way home on Reilly's two-bagger to left. Reilly went to third on Abbey's out, sec- ond to third, and came home on O'Brien's out, skort to first. In their last try at the bat the Senators secured their last two rugs, a pretty dou- ble play by McCormick, Callahan and An- son stopping short the batting rally. Wrig- ley again connected with the ball safely, hitting into left for a single. Selbach fol- lowed with another safe cne in the same direction and both moved up a base when DeMont went out, pitcher to first. ‘Then Farrell soaked a beauty to right for a base, scoring Wrigley and Seibach. Mc- Guire then hit to short anc the double play followed. The story of how Chicego secured her sixteen runs is a monotonous one and can be toid in a few words. Hit followed hit, and error followed error, six runs coming in over the plete in the third inning and seven in the sixth. In the latter inning Ger- man relieved Mercer and the first ball the former pitched was laced to left for two base nding in three runs. Clark Griffith pitched fcr the Chicagos and after the game was Safely stowed away for his club he let up in his delivery, al- h? he Oe lowing the Senators tive hits in the last three inn:rgs.

The Senators and Chicagos play two games today, Swaim being on the rubber in the morning game and McJames in the .afternoon. Yesterday's defeat knocked the Senators out of ninth place, the Louisvilles winning and going up one point. Tucker's hand was still too bad to permit playing yesterday, and McGuire again went to first. Lew Whistler, who played here in 1890, late of Detroit, who signed to manage the Springfield, Ohio, team and then jumped to Grand Rapids, has reconsidered the mat- ter, and wired President Nelson of the lat- ter team that he would report Sunday sure to take charge of the team. Bob Allen lost his job as manager of the Detroit team. He was deposed Friday. Frank Graves, who used to be connected with Marsh Redon’s book at Oakley and Latonia and was afterward umpire in the Western League, is now the manager of the Detroit team. It is believed Allen is to succeed Stalling as manager of the Phil- adelphias. “Dusty” Miller of the Cincinnatis _re- marks: “I don’t want to see Boston win. Last year they jollied us along; told us they wanted to see us in the Temple cup games, and then in the last series stacked us up against Nichols twice. I don't blame Nichols, mind you, for pitching all he knew how to win, but they might have in- troduced us to some other pitcher.’ —Cin- cinnati exchange. Phillips leads the pitchers of the Western League. Goar, Daniels and Friend fcllow in order. Mullane is No. 10, Fricken 12, Phyle 17 and Barnett 28. Willie McGill has the most strike outs to his credit, and Scott of Grand Rapids the best consrol of the ball.—St. Paul Dispatch. ‘That the Louisvilies were able, after be- ing whipped by the Chicagos in the worst lovking score of the year, to turn around the next day and wallop the Chicagos, has prompted the base ball editor of the Chi- cago Post to the following: Some misguided cranks had an idea, after the awful batting matinee of Tuesiay, that the Colts would rally,*brace up and play the hottest ball that ever came down the pike. They were deceived. The gang couldn't rally at a barbecue, couldn't brace up a falling scantling, couldn't »lay mar- bles. They swat up little flies with the bases full and three and none called; they don’t coach loud enough to be heard in the front row, and they are, altogether and specifically, dead to the world. Thornton got out into that left field sun again, too, and how the bdingles did tumble safe all around him! It was especially tough to have Chick Fraser win the game, for he was in the batting massacre of the day before, and was walloped until he thought himself on the road to prosperity in a patrol wagon. Arthur Irwin and his Toronto team are no longer the laughing stock of the Eastern League. They have .gallantly fough: their way up from the tail-end to fourth place, and some bets have been recorded that they will win the Eastern League pernant. Irwin now has the Toronto field to himself, as the Canadian League representative in that city has surrendered its francnise. The Toronto club is unfortynately a farm. Its team contains many players who really belong to the Washington club, but have been released to the Toronto club as a blind. One of the owners of the Washing- ton club is authority for this statement. This was done to comply with the terms of the anti-farming stand taken by the Eastern League. No club can buy Lush, for instance, from the Toronto club with- out the consent of the Wagners,who placed him on the farm with a view of recalling him next season. The strings to the Wash- ington farm hands at Toronto will not be pulled until the close of the season. Hence there will be no chance at all for d'sor- ganization in Irwin’s team on that score. The Wagners showed extraordinary cour- age in putting a team in the Canadian cap- ital this season after the miserable failure scored by the Pittsburg club in 1806. They gamely stood their losses during the early stages of the race when the Canadians were seemingly as much outclassed as the Browns are in the National League race, but it now looks that they will have a Lal- ance on the right side of the ledger when the season closes.—St. Louis Sporting Times. The New York club has signed “Yale” Murphy, and the little feliow will go on the coming western trip with the Giants. He will be a utility player. Pitcher Killen of Pittsburg has been fined $200 by his captain for sulking. HOMING PIGEONS’ GREAT RACE. One Hundred and Thirty in a Contest Under the Government's Auspices, The most important event in the annals of pigeon flying in this country 1s now in progress. It is the metropolitan concourse race. The race is being governed by the United States signal officer, who forwarded a dispatch yesterday to each fancier hav- ing entries, and then the birds were lib- erated at Beldon, 8. C. The government officials are taking a keen Interest in the race, and if it is a suc- cess they propose to adopt homing pigeons as a means of conveying news from one point to another in case of war. There are 130 birds in the race. They were shipped from the various lofts to the starting point early last week. The dis- tance to the nearest loft is 630 miles, which makes the race the longest ever attempted. All_the birds entered have made a record of 300 miles. ‘The clubs represented are the Manhat- tans, district of New York and Brooklyn; Hudsons, district of Jersey City and Bay. onne; Essexes, district of Newark and Harrison; Unions, district of Elizabeth and Westfield, and the Staten Islands. ‘The winning bird will receive a gold band studded with diamonds, while the first bird to reach its loft from each district will be awarded a gold band. The birds are being timed by an outo- matic process. The majority of them are expected to reach their lofts late this after- noon. TENNIS PLAYERS TO COME. Famous English Experts Who Will Seck New Honors in This Country. Four of the pick of British lawn tennis players will visit American courts and will be seen in three of the biggest tournaments of the year. The Longwood Cricket Club of Boston has béen th correspondence for some time with H, 8. Mahoney, who visited America in company with Pim two years ago, and cablegrams. were received last week which practically insure the coming of the team. Mehony, who q gefting up the team of visiting cracks, has not yet announced who the other members -will be, but W. V. Eaves, the great{/English volleyer: R. F. Doherty, who w the all-England cham- Pionship at Wimbledon last weck, and either Doherty’s younger brother or Willi- fred Baddeley, another former champion of England, will prebsbly compose the team. They will sail fox America in ten days or two weeks. The Longwood Club has post- pened its tourn@ment until the week July 26, in order to secure the British en- tries, and the visitors will play in the east- ern championship dolbles to be held the same week, as well_as in the singles for the Longwood challenge cup. The schedule of the British experts in- cludes the “round robin” invitation tourna- ment of the St. George Cricket Club, at Hoboken, the following week, and_ the American championship meetixg at New- port during the week of August 17. ANDERSON WINS IN 49:50. Great Pullman Road Race Ran Under Unfavorable Conditions. CHICAGO, July 5.—Carl A. Anderson, a seven-minute man, Won the Pullman rond race in 49:30, R. W. Merrill and Chas. ‘Terryberg, six-minute men, were respec- tively second and third. Chas. Lavin, a scratch man, was first time prize winner, with unofficial time of 40 minutes and 16 seconds. Fred Nelson and Orlando Adams, scratch men, also were respectively second and third time prize winners. James Levy, the winner of last year’s prize in the Pullman race, fell from his wheel on the last turn today, breaking his leg. The event, properly speaking, was the second annual road race of the South Side Cycling Clubs. The race was over the Pullman course, the start being made at the corner of Michigan avenue and Jack- son streets, out through Washington Park, down the historic midway plaisance and through Jackson Park, thence south to the village of Pullman, a distance of about eighteen miles. The field was the largest that ever started in a western road race, nearly ali of the 517 entries responding to the call of the starter. ‘The conditions were far from perfect, last night's heavy rain having softened the roads, while the great number of riders and the roads west of the park system brought disaster to many ambitious riders. Fight men were on scratch, “Pop” Smed- ley, the winner of the Decoration day road race, being given a handicap of 2 minutes and 30 seconds. The start was scheduled for 8:30 a.m., but the great number of riders made the race a rather unwieldy af- fair, and it was after 9 o'clock before the many men were sent away. AUSTRALIANS TO PLAY HERE The Crack Team From the Antipod to Meet the Engraving Bureau Nine. The Australian base ball team, which has been in this country for some time picking up peirnts about the national game and in- cidertally imparting a little information to these teams which have underrated Its ability, witl appear at National Park Sat- urday afternoon next opposed to the Bu- reau of Engraving and Printing team, one of the strorgest amateur nines in the Dis- trict.

A recent ‘pool ‘match’ bétween Bernard Harding and Abe Green, both of this city, erded in a sensational manner. © Harding was playing Green 100 to Green’s 50. The score at the last frame was 8@ to 49, in Harding’s favor, Green needing only one ball. Green broke, and by some very skill- ful and rervy playing Harding pocketed fourteen palls in succession and wou the match. Y¥. M. CG. A. Cyclers Organize.

The warm weather of yesterday was re- spcnsible for the large exodus of people fiom Georgetown and Washington for the day, the residents of the latter place most- ly passing through ‘Georgetown. All day long the electric reuds were busy hauling sweltering humanity to the cool woods to spend a pleasant Gay The Great Falle electric road, with a large number ofi special trains running, had its hands more‘ tan full in attending to the crowd, and ihe Georgetown and Tenleytown railraad was also well patron- ized. The improyeméyts on the road have made it the equal.pf.any suburban, line, and the fact that the c#rs’run through to Cabin John bridge without-change is an addi- tional item in its"faypr. The Glen Echo line was kept busy: in hauling pecple be- tween Chevy Cha¥é Cfrcle and Cabin John Dieting trie ans th as of uring the jousands o! ple visited Glen Hehe which, under the new regime and splendid improvements, is taking well witht!thé public. The Fa- dettes, the military‘tompany of twenty-one females, which made such a hit at Bos- ton and other places, gave two concerts yesterday, one in the afternoon and an- other in the evening, both of which were well attended. It is expected that by this week all of the improvements to the pretty place will have been completed, rendering the retreat even more charming than it is at present. Remembered Old Glory. The Independence day celebration held in the Dumbarton Avenue M. E. Church last evening was most inspiring. The church was ¢lebordtely decorated with American flags and palms and flowers, pre- senting a very pretty appearance. The services were well: attended by the mem- bers of the corgregation, and, in addition, George U. Morris Post, No. 19, Grand Army of the Republic, and the Women's Relief Corps of Lafayette Post, G. A. R., |’ were fresent, each in a body. was occupied. ‘The national hymns sung by the immense audience, under the effective leadership of the precentor, Mr. J. Henry Wilson, sound- ed splendidly. The “Star Spangled Ban- ner,” sung as a solo by Miss Lillie Stewart, the audience joining in the chorus, de- serves special mention. Miss Blanche Birch gave a short recitation on “Our Country,” snd this was followed by an- other recitation, delivered by Peyton Fletcher, in an impressive manner, entitled “Children’s Story of Independence Day.” Mr. Regivald Lewis recited an extract from the Declaration of Independence, and an extract from the speech of John Adams on the declaration was given by Mr. J.

Fell From Second Stor: The little six-year-old daughter of Mr. Wailer Sebastian of 3314 P ec: had a narrow escape trom serious injury early Saturday afternoon. The child was in the second story front of the residence, and in some manner fe!l out of the window, land- ing on the porch, and rolling off to the brick walk. Dr. Suaderland was imme- diately sent for, and an examination re- vealed that she had escaped with a few ugly bruises, no bones being fractured. Cost Him 310, James Hampson, colored, aged twenty- four, was arresied shortly after midnight this morning by Policeman E. W. Browne on a charge of discharging firearms on the street. The prisoner came out of a house on 32d street near Q street with a pistol in hand, and fired four shots in rapid succes- sion directly across the street.

There are at pres- sent 1,827 persons employed in the pension office. Of this number sixty-seven are colored men and women doing clerical work, and, addition, there are twenty- one colored men acting as laborers and mes- ngers. ‘The sixty-seven colored clerks are scattered throughout every division of th office.

Wanted the Treasury h Gallery Removed. The Secretary of the Treasury has denied the request of Mr. Carl Roh! Smith, the Chicago sculptor, who has the contract fe the construction and erection of an equ trian statue, for the removal of the photo- graph gallery just south of the Treasury Department, in order thai he might pla a model of the statue the SO as to study the effect of the surroundings. This bull ing occuples the site selected for the statue, and will have to be removed eventually. w in constant use by the superv: hitect of the treasury for work connection with the construction of publ buildings in all parts of the country has been found impracticable to hav work done elsewhere and the building is so old and dilapidated that it cannot be moved to another location.

Sculptor It is a MAJOR TYLER REMOVED. Chief of the Division, Including the Mail Bag Repnir Sh Major R. D. S. Tyler, chief of the ma‘l and equipment division bureau of the Post Office Department, has been re- lieved from duty, and Thomas P. Graham of the railway mail service at Washing has been detailed temporarily to succeed him. The action is the outcome of the scandals which have centered about the mail bag repair shop more or less for years, and is the direct result of the in- vestigation which Second Assistant Post- master General Shallenberger recently made in that office. Speaking of his retirement from the ser- vice Major Tyler said: “I saw General Shellenberger and I asked him if the department held anything against me on account of my conduct of the office. The second assistant postmaster general said ‘No.’ He told me that the ole reason for my dismissal was that the political pressure for office was that the administration wante I was filling. He said distinctly that the performance of my duties had been satis- factory.” Mazy Woodward, six years old, daughter of John E.
