Hopes were high a moment later when Mercer pitched slovenly, givin two free pesses to the opening batsm: 1 to Sel.

Brown singled, Gene tripled to the left fenee, and Farrell and Tucker biffed out one basers. Gardner was sent out to warm up while this fu je was going on. ‘imer Smith made a lucky double in urg’s fourth, the ball hitting just of the line. Had the hit occurred from home Smith would have had to over again. Mercer, who seems to have Padden’s weak spot, caught him for a fan- | out, but Smith by good base running made third on the half-passed ball. Smith came home on an out at first. Ely followed with a hit, but one run was all Pittsburg se- cured. ‘That's the lad Pittsburg released be- cause he was too light,” shrieked a grand- stander when Gene De Montreville scored an admirable running pick up and throw of Killen’s hard crash in the fourth. The next play was a beauty by Pretty Charley Reilly, and once more remarks were heard of the skill of ex-Pittsburg players. Mercer was on his mettle in the fifth when Davis began with an infield tap, which shot away from Winnie's hand. After two hands retired Brodie prome- naded, but the third man ended his running at first. Pittsburg’s bleachers turned on the Pirates in the sixth, and cut them with taunts and sarcastic allusions to their abil- ity, ete.

He began by speeding in the ball with might and main. for one inning. Jacky Brodie saw Smith steal second in the sixth and imagined that he could do the same. The ball was waiting on him when he arrived. Then he jawed himself. For luck the Senators put up two more in the eighth. They had no sympathy for the Pirates, but then that’s base ball.

The Senators and Pirates come together again today, King and Hawley being the twirlers tabbed to pitch, Freeman, the rightfielder of the Toront)s, made three singles and a homer in the first game, and a double and home-run in the second yesterday, the Wilkesbarre club Veing defeated in each contest. Billy Lush hammered out two triples. Ore of the New York players rezently gave away the reason why “Dad” Clarke is not pitching more games for the Giants. “Dad” is not popular with the players, he said. He is @ great poker player, and is more than bis salary ahead of the game, his victims numbering almost every player on the pay roll. When “Dad” pitches they even up on him by poor support. Joyce knows this, and refuses to take chances. Notwithstanding the fact that Delehanty leads the league in batting, and is fielding in first-class style, he is not popular with the Philadelphia scribes. They say he is of but little value to the Quaker club, and that a change would do both Ed and the club good. But Reach and Rogers are afraid to let him go on account of his pop- ularity with the Philadelphia patrons. The Cincinnati club has not been in Washington this season, but on the next eastern trip of the western clubs we will have the Red legs at National Park for six games. They play here August and x before going hom turn for three more games on September 11, 13 and The transferred games around Dezora- nm day brought this change about. pcial dispatch from Chicago last President Ban Johnson of the tern League siates that the Boston is playing an illegal player in Lake, who stands suspended by President John- son, a bulletin to that effect having been issued by President Young.

"It net that I lack nerve,” sad he, “but I always hate to take away a ball play mon Hereat though, I am resolved to serve notice thai all players must keep away from me.” In that last little affair in Quakerdom it was hard to tell whether Col, McDermott was acting as an umpire or chairman of a com- mittee on credentials. during a row in a po- cal convention.

HENLEY-ON-THAMES, July 13.—Any- thing like a forecast of the winners during the three days’ racing which begins to- morrow would be exceedingly ditficult, for the races are the mest open in the matter of entries that have Leen planned here for years. Professional oarsmen, however, are firm believers that Dr. W. S. McDowell of the Delaware Boat Club of Chicago is a very dangerous competitor, He 1s very much altered in form for the better, is somewhat lighter, and will row at one hundred and sixty-six pounds. Dr. McDowell said this morning: “I am very well; in fact, I never felt better in my life. I am confident that I gave away last year’s race with Beaumont. I do not be- jieve he will ever reach the finals; but if I meet him I certainly expect to defeat him. “Some of the sporting critics pretend not to like my form, but, they must admit that the boat travels. Personally, I think the Winnipegs will win in the Stewards’ Chal- lenge cup race, and I expect to see New College defeat Leander, Whatever hap- I do not thing the Dutchmen will “A. Guinness of the Thames Rowing Club, who meets McDowell -in the first round, sai@ this morning: “I think Mc- Dowell is in much better form than in 1896, but I mean to give him a hard row.” E. H, Ten Eyck of the Wachusett Boat Club of Worcester, Mgss,, who rows at one hundred and sixty-two pounds, has many admirers. Mr. Lehmann ts among the most ardent, predicting that he will be a great oarsman. Mr. Ten Eyck said today: ‘I am in ex- eclient condition, and like my boat im- mensely.” NOW FOR ROYAL HENLEY. England's Big Aquatic Event of the Year Opens Tomorrow. From the New York Sun, International rowing will be the order for the next three days, and all eyes will be focusssed on historic Henley. The British “aquatic Derby” is becoming an event of increasing interest to Americans, owing to the development of the rowing situation within the past three years. The succes- stve attempts of Cornell and Yale to .win honors at England's great rowing reunion have attracted universal attention, and, although neither college is represented this time, the centiment survives, inasmuch as this continent plays a triple hand, repre- sented by the Winnipeg crew, Dr. McDowell of Chicago and Young Ten Eyck of Wor- cester. With these candidates in on their merits, the interest aroused would have been gen- eral, but the feeling of national esprit de corps has been intensified by the persist- ent attempts made through the British press to impeach the amateur standing of the Winnipeg crew and Ten Eyck. The Field has led a regular crusade on the sub- ject. Incidentally it is refreshing to find the following sportsmanlike comment in the London Sporting Life of June 16: “When these remarks appear in print the Canadian four from Winnipeg will have ar- rived in England. Now these four Cuna- dians pulling against our crack crews at Henley may not appear to have any strong or las:ing eifect on the great policies of the two nations, but it has. From the relative importance bestowed upon it an affair of this kind has an enormous influence for good. The regrettable rumpus with Amer- ica a year ago Was admittedly the outesme of the American cup fiasco more than any- thing elxe. The mutual advantages to be derived from sporting amenities are many and great, and I trust our visitors from Canada will receive a right royal welcome everywhere. We of the Sporting Life hid them a very pleasant sojourn in the old country, and victory as the reward of their enterprise—always provided that they turn out the best crew for the Stewards. “Organized in 1804, the crew had had a wondrous career, under the care of that prince of trainers, Dan J. Murphy, ever since. After fairly sweeping the Canadian regattas they went to Saratoga, the Hen- ley of America, and met all the crack Yankee fours. They won ‘anyhow’ in 8.15, thus breaking all records for lake water! They also won the international champion- ship of America !n 1895. Of theiv subse- quent doughty di space forbids mention énough to say they are writ in large let- ters in the aquatic annals across the At- lantic. The men are all gentlemen, social- ly, intellectually and by birth. A certain bold contemporary has made ‘much ado about nothing’ in this direction, as will he seen. They will row in a paper sheil, which is a beautiful plece of workmanship. it has nickel mounts, roller seats and contains all the latest up-to-date improvements. No reserve man will come over, although Mr. G. Galt of the Winnipeg R. C. be at Henley prepared to take a seat at any 1no- ment in case of mishap. Every man is also a grand all-round athiet Dan Murphy himself, and quietly con’ victory without any bunkum or ‘gas.’ From all accounts, our fellows will have to buck up as never befor The official entries for the regatta, which ll, as usual, furnish three days’ recing, are as follows: Grand challenge cup, for eight oars— Leander London R, C., New College, Oxford; Thames R.

On a Thousnnd-Mile Ride. Milton Tibbetts of 134 D street northeast, captain of the National Order of American Wheelmen of Capitol Hill, started this morning to ride to Bar Harbor, Me., and from there to Brooklin, Me. Tibbetts is only eightcen years old, but has quite a record as a long-distance rider. He has never been over the road, except to Baltimore, but starts alone to make the whole distance on his wheel, relying upon the L. A. W_ road book to find his way. His route is from Washington through Baltimore, Wilmington, Philadelphia, Bound Bro k, New York, New Haven, Hartford, Ww ester, Boston, Portland, Banger, Bar Harbor and then to Brook! Me. His intention is to start off with a cen- tury from here to mington, Del. and make from 75 to 125 miles a day during the remainder of the journey. The entire distance is about 1,000 miles.

Affect- ing Those Bodies of Water. From the Philadelphia Press. Reporis from the great fresh water lakes are to the effect that their ievel is much above what it was last year at this sea- son. Fishermen on Lake Ontario, for in- stance, claim that the water of that lake is eighteen inches higher than it was in May, 1896, and three feet above the level of last summer. This increased volume of water is doubtless due to the melting of the great body of snow which fell Jest winter on the drainage area of these bas- ins and to the abundant rains of the spring. The same heavy precipitation elsewhere has caused the greatest flood in the Mississippi river that this generation has known. Two years ago, in 1895, the level of the lakes was extraordinarily low, and much apprehension was felt lest a permanent change had taken place and that hereafter a lower level of water would be the rule. This condition, however, was easily at- tributable to the dryncss of the season, a much smaller quantity of water having falien over the drainage area than the overage. The level of the lakes is known to escillate from year to year, but there is no trustworthy data on which to base cal- culation in the matter. The conditions are constantly changing also. A larger area of land is being brought under cultivation, which absorbs more rainfall, and conse- quently less runs off into the creeks and streams which help to feed the lakes. More forests are also being cut down, and a larger surface exposed to evaporation from the sun. The meteorojogical cause for changing lake levels and the causes which come from an increasing population will doubt- less continue and cannot probably be con- trolled. But there are artificial causes which are L:kely to influence lake levels se- riously unless care is taken to regulate | and check them. Among these causes are the Chicago drainage canal, the project for cutting a ship canal between Lakes Erie and St. Clair, and the plan of cuiting a fourteen-foot channel throughout the whole length of the St. Lawrence river. There are other schemes, but these ape the most important. The Chicago drainage canal will, as soon as finished, take 000 Cue bic feet of water per minute from Lake Michigan, and ultimately double that | amoupt. The ship canal between Lakes St. Clair and Erle, as projecte ty-one feet deep and seventy-two feet wide at the bottom, and to supply it will require ; an additional draina; Lakes Huron quently from e Superior. ment of the Welland canal ha: some effect in lowering the le Erle, and if the channel of the St. Law- rence river is deepened so as to admit larger steamers and more of them to the lake trade, an increased demand will be made for water from the lakes and a further decline in both Lakes Erie and On- tario is probable. vels of Lake { ss WHO HANGED JEFF DAVIS? Senator Frye Was Given Interesting Detailx and Particulars. From the Hlustrated Am 5 With his clever gift of putting things, he is naturally successful on the stump. He never met his match but once, and that was in the person of Col. Frank Wolford, a quaint Kentucky mountaineer, who after- ward came to Congress from an old-fash- ioned secession district. Other republicans had heard about Wolford and fought shy of tackling him, but Frye volunteered to go down into his district in the next cam- paign. The experiment lasted just one day, vut Frye described it as appalling as far as it went. The adversaries arranged for a joint debate before a gathering of lumber- men and moeon-hiners, and Frye, who wa invited to speak first, drew upon his func of pathetic eloq’ * to describe the mag. nanimity with which the republic had | treated the coi r the war. / Wolford followe h the ¢ i that the republicans had no_ri about magnanimity “when they hung Jeff | Davis the day after the surrender.” 0 hanged Jeff Davis?” demanded rant did,” Wolfo: t’s an infernal li know better than that. “Oh, I do, do I?” retorted Wolford. “Here, John,” beckoning to a gaunt, broad- roared back. shouted Frye. * ou shouldered, heavy-browed — bushwhacker who stood near. ou get up on this plat- form and tell the folks what Grant did to Jeff Davi: Up jumped John. “He stringed him up.

When he came to pack his traveling bag, he Giscovered the loss of a shirt, ond an anxious search was instituted | for the missing garment. The most thor- | ovgh inspection of the apartment was made, but it was futile, and the bride- groom-elect cast reproachful glances at his | best man, who had assisted in the arran| ments. Finally it occurred to the perspli bridegroom that he was uncomfortably hot, and, in a moment of mental reaction, he argued that, perhaps, it was due to too much clothing. Investigation proved the soundness of his theory, and a quick shift of attire was made. The waiting company wondered at the flush in the bridegroom's z cheeks as he entered the parlors, but it was all explained later. M ERTZ’S.
