The home club wou by the score of 15 to 4, owing to the poor pitching of German, his delivery being hit for twenty safeties, and the support given him being very poor. Powell did the twirling for the home club, and, while he was hit hard, his support was perfect, the s that were made being placed to his own credit in the error col- umn. At the time the gates were opened, 1 p. m., the rain was falling in torrents, and although the downpour ceased inside of an hour, the heavy ciouds held over the city and kept thousands at home.

After German had hit to Childs, forcing O'Brien at second, he was forced to second on a base on balls to Brown, and then came home on DeMont’s single to right. In the fifth three runs came their way. Brown led off with a beautiful single, and went to third on Sel- bach’s single past Childs. McGuire fol- lowed with a scorcher to Powell,who threw wild to first, and Brown crossed the plate. Tucker's single tallied Selbach, McGuire going to third on the hit, and home on Reilly's grounder to Childs, that forced at second.

The Senators dropped the game at Cleve- land Saturday by the score of 3 to 1. Mc- James did the twirling for the Senators, and while he pitched ‘a fairly good game, his tive bases on balls were costly. Wilson was on the rubber for the Clevelands, and held the Senators down to six hits, and Gidn't give one of the visitors a free pas- sage to first. His delivery was hit hard, but directly into the hands of the opposing fielders. His support was faultless, while the Senators had two misplays. It is re- perted that the Senators were robbed of a fighting chance to bat out a victory in the ninth inning by a decision of Umpire O'Day. MeGuire batted for McJames in this inning, and sent a nice liner to Childs at second, too hot for that player to han- dle. McGuire beat out the ball by two or three steps, but the decision went against him. Brown and Selbach followed with hits that would have scored at least one run, but DeMontreville hit to Wallace, be- ing thrown out at first and closing the fame. Selbach's batting and DeMontre- He's fielding were the features of the Seuators’ work. Other Saturday Scores. isville—Baltimore, rain. Boston, 7.

Base Ball Gonsip. ‘The Senators play at Pittsburg today, and as Mercer is tabbed to do the twirling, they should give a good account of themselves. So far the Senators tour has been a hard one, but they have run against two good clubs and were lucky to pull one game out of the fire. When they strike Pittsburg, Louisville and St. Louis brighter things can be looked for. DeMont now leads the Senators in bat- ting, hanging on to the leaders of the league with 355. McGuire has jumped up to 320. Selbach is back to 292. Brown 279. Reilly stands sixth as a batter among third basemen of the league, with 268, and eighth as a fielder, with 912. Wrigley is tied with Reilly in batting ‘honors. McJames foots the batting list, with e percentage of 105. DeMont is at the bottom of the list of short stops. Selbach continues to lead the left flelders. Mercer stands fourth in the lst of pitcher. These averages are a little later than the ones published in The Sti Saturday. No outfielder, not even Jimmie McAleer, Curt Welch or Walter Brodie, ever played a better fielding game than Billy Hoy is playing this year. Delahanty leads the big league in batting. He is the greatest batter in the world. His Burns, Purner or | batting average is an honest one. Fhila- delphia scorers do not_pad batting records. Another thing that emphasizes Delahanty's place at the headrOftWe list is the fact that none of his hits are bunts. His record is made on good cf€an drives. “Hurst is the Worst” is a refrain that the angry rooter® persisted in hurling at Sir Timothy all through Saturday's game at Cincinnatt. Thhy were very angry with the little fellow) H¥ bad breaks were not all one way, however. The Phillies, as well as the Reds, received part of his roasts tr ng Who would havé tHeught that the Bos- tons after their many victories would have fallen thrice before Chicago. It only goes to show that Uncle's team can play the Same as well asany. team in the league when they want to, and it also seems that they wanted to throw Boston down. The Colts are regular, ouj and outers. They play magnificent ball some days, and very poor the next. Jf that club had vlayed the game all thi season they would now be well up in the first division instead of near the bottom. The material is there, and the man that can get work out of them would be managing one of the best clubs in the league. There dees not seem to be further rcom for argument on the question of Toronto being a Washington farm. Albert Wag- ner, a promising player of ti nadian club, has joined the Senators. if the Syra- cuse club will back up Buckenberger in carrying out his threat to have the rela- tions existing between the Washington end Toronto clubs ventilated by the Eastern League,there will be some interesting devel- opments. It will riot be hard to establish that the Washington club pays one-third of Outfielder Lush’s salary, although it Is claimed that he was released cutright to the Toronto club. The Sporting News has authentic information that Lush’s salary of $300 is paid to him as follows: $:00 a month by the Toronto club and $100 a month by the Washington club. Still he's not a farm hend.—St. Louis Sporting News. What rot. The Syracuse and Scranton have “farmed” players. No kick was made on Toronto until that team began to wu “How have you been ‘bingling’ ‘em out?’ asked Red Ehret of Deiahanty, at the Reds’ water keg befor2 the game yesterday. “Oh, pretty fair; I get a hit now and then, when I run against a bad pitcher,” smilingly replied the king batter of the country. “Where do you stand in the percentage?” inquired Red. “I don’t know.

It Harvard had beaten Cornell at Pough- , there is little doubt that she would » been content to re: he old dual ngement with Yale ‘w London. i's victory for a time over dd has given an entirely new ph: question. No Harvard grad- to the uate or undergraduate. wishes to withdraw from a contest with Cornell on the water until Harvard shall have at least establish- ed her equality in rowing. There is also a common objection at Harvard to having two great races at a distance from Cam- brid It is therefore almost certain since Harvard is unwilling to let Cornell go with- out beating her, and would be equally re- luctant to giving up the prospect of a race with Yale, that she will bend every effort to a renewal of the three-cornered race at Poughkeepsie next year. George Mumford, captain of the "varsity, and an old coach, has expres: "se ed his entire satisfaction with a renewal of this year’s arrangement. He said: “Cornell has demonstrated her prowess in rowing, and her relations with us have been e: tremely pleasant and friendly. Nothing would please me more than to see Har- vard, Yale and Cornell race again next year at Poughkeepsie.” Robert F. Herrick, who captained the 's9 crew, and who is still an enthusiast in row- ing affairs, said never was in favor of trying for crew championship, for to do that necessitates making a business of rowing. The old arrangement between Harvard and Yale offered sufficient oppor- tunity for athletic giory as long as it lasted, but now that we have rowed Cor- nell and been beaten by her, it seems de- sirable and consistent with amateur sport to keep on rowing her till we can win. The conditions at Poughkeepsie for a_three- cornered regatta are the best that I know of anywhere in the country, and I shall hope to see Harvard, Yale and Cornell nieet there next year.” Col. William A. Bancroft, mayor of Cam- bri who captained the famous ‘varsity of “7S, and who subsequently coached the Harvard crews with great success, express- ed it: “It is contrary to the traditions of Harvard rowing to withdraw from a con- test while the other college held first place. I should therefore like to see Harvard row Cornell next year,gnd, win.” WORLD'S RECHRY ON A TANDEM. Caney and Ecktprig 5, Make It in 2:01 1-5 at Proy{dence, R. 1.

The Royal Henley regatta which begins at Henley, England, Wednesday bids fair to be a record one in this record year, as far as the number of spectators is con- cerned. Henley certainly has never been so full as it will be this week at the last social function of a memorabie season. As usual the first of the oarsmen to put in an appearance there were the foreigners —this time the Winnipeg four, who have been excellently well received and have created a marked impression, though their style is freely criticised as being ragged. They row in a new paper shell by Wate: of Troy. The Dutchmen hzve been at Henley over a fortnight. Dr. McDowell of Chicago and E. H. Ten Eyck of Worcester arrived during the week, having done their practics work at Putney in the boat just Luilt by Clasper. There are fifty-six entries—two less than in 19%6—which are so well apportioned as to require “two rows only” in the prelim- inary heats. The drawing for places in_the various heats of the races took place Saturday. In the first heat of the diamend sculls Dr. Me- nst young Guinness. in the drawing for the heat, . This will probably bring McDowell and Ten Eyck together in the cond heat. The Winnipeg crew drew the Utrecht crew as their competitors in the first heat of the Steward’s cup.

Chief Parris and his assistants complain that in this city the firemen are frequently annoyed by wheelmen, who turn out in large numbers every time an alarm is sounded. It was only a few days ago that Assistant Chief Belt was greatly delayed and a bicyelist’s life endangered. The wheelman persisted in riding in front of the: fire vehicle and setting the pace. He was called to several times, but did not seem inclined to heed the warning, and finally when the pace of the horse was in- creased tae wheelman had to take to the sidewalk. : An Indianapolis paper, devoted to the in- terests of firemen, received by Chief Parris of the local fire department, contains the following, which he regards as applicable hington in so far as the nuisance is “Once again those whcelmen and wheel- women who persist in making the lives of firemen and drivers miserable by crowding the apparatus and getting in its way while on the way to fires, have received a set- back from Chief Barrett of Indianapolis. After having put up with the nuisance for a considerable time, and finding that the evil, far from growing less, waxed greater, the chief complained to the board and point= ed out that the presence of so many de- votees of the wheel in the streets during runs to fires added to the nervous strain of the drivers and also hindered the firemen in their work, to say nothing of the danger to the cyclists themselves, many of whom were mere children and young women. The fire bells of the city, will, therefore, no longer ring out alarms, and thus the incon- veniences and dangers complained of will be at least minimized. The same course should be adopted wherever possible else- where.” ———.__. KNOX FIRM AGAIN SUED. Claims Growing Out of the Burning of Storage Warehouse. The destruction of the warehcuses of the Geo. W. Knox Express Company by tire in July, 184, resulted in another suit be- ing filed today against the company. The plaintiff in today’s suit is Wolf Florman, who sues to the use of Nathan Horn. He claims $2,000 damages on account of goods stored with the company February 8, 1894, and which were lost in the fire. _ Like the other parties who have sued the firm Mr. Florman charges that the com- pany allowed gasoline, hay and other in- flammable materials to be stored in the buildings, end also allowed the smoking of pipes and the lighting of matches in and about the warehouses.

GREAT RECORD AT WuisT] The Philadelphians Won Twelve Ont of Thirteen Matches. Gratifying Shewing of the Washin, ten Contingent at Work of the Vario: Correspondence of The Evening Star. « PUT-IN-BAY, Ohio, July 10, 1897 The nth American whist congress is about over, as far as the tournaments are concerned, there remaining now only the results of the finals to decide the winners in the Hamilton and challenge trophy con- tests. The record of the Philadelphia team is without a parallel in the annals of whist Out of thirteen matches they won twelve and tied one, to Walbrook, losing not a single game. The Chicago duplicate team surprised the Chicago players, as they were not the regular team of the club, and hastily made up at the last moment. They were Mitchell, Walker, Norton and Schwarz, ex-president of the league. They lost but three matches, and they and Hami!ton will play off the finals. Minneapolis stood third with nine wins. North Shore of Chicago and Brooklyn tied for fourth with eight, and Walbrook was next with seven and one-half. The Toledo Whist Club secures the Min- neapolls trophy for pairs, Dayton being second.

But this institution, this convenience in the illicit, this negator of retribution, may without check distance any known assail- ant of slumber, under the flag of charity! We of the neighborhood concede the necessity for foundling asylums. But out of a hundred available sites, this is the least fit. Not a single institution of the hospital character in the city that is not suitably isolated, except this, the most noisy! And the fact is by mo means that the asylum was set in open land, and af- terward built near by men who were in- formed and fairly warned. On the contra- ry, it entered a settled neighborhood, to which scarcely a dwelling has been added. The asylum stands in grounds, ft is true, but wholly inadequate; it occupies an an- gle; and note the arrangement: To the north and east, something of space; on the west and south, a street and alley; but on the south there has been thrown out an inclosed porch over the alley, taking all-day sun and alley atr; and here, in scorn of what poor humanitarian acoustics the building affords, the babies live, leaning up in the ear of the neighborhood, and un- derscoring to the full the bitter Inffiction of their presence. Yet to move is feasible for the asylum directors. The slightest search and the least energy are alone required for a new site and the means to reach it. These mysterious financial considerations, in- considerable, if valid, vanish before the fact that the bullding was at one time long offered for sale, and might be today sold, and the proceeds held solely avatia- ble for the charity.
