WHIPPED AGAIN —— The Senators Meet Defeat From the Brooklyns. NO VERY GOOD BALL PLAYED How the Other League Clubs Fared Yesterday. OTHER SPORTING MATTERS a Today's Schedule. Washington at Brooklyn. Baltimore at Boston... Louisville at Cincinnati: New York at Philadelphia. Cleveland at Chicago. Pittsourg at St. Lor Sunday Games. Louisville at Cincinnati. Cleveland at Chicago. The Brooklyn Base Ball Club hs finally fcund a club which it can defeat. Twice in succession they have met the Senators in executive session’ and wiped up the arend with them. It has given the Bride- grooms such great joy that they are no Icnger unwilling to be seen on the streets of East New York after dark. Yesterday's contest was a feast of drei- sockers and zwei-baggers. They rained for two inrings over the field thicker than barn roofs and haystacks in a Kansas cy- clene. Everybody hit the ball with almost human intelligence, and George Smith broke al! Smith records for the season by making four rattling line drives in five times at bat. Another man who helped himself to four hits was Shindle. Brooklyn had the game by the neck in the first two innings, and in the other seven merely pulled the string a little tighter. Dr. McJames of Virginia undertook to prescribe for the Bridegrooms, and they liked his medicine so well that they took all he nad at one guip and howled for more. Tom Brown couldn't see why Mc- James should pose as a martyr and sent German into the box in the third. The only difference between German and Mc- James was that it took Brooklyn four more innings to secure one less run than they had made off the Virginian. Brown, by the way, ran half over the lots to Canarsie and pulled down a soaking line hit with one hand. That one beautiful catch and Brooklyns’ total of sixteen buse hits made the regulars happy.

New York, or rather Pitcher Seymour, turned the tables very completely yester- day and defeated the Phillies on their keme ground by a score that left no doubt as to the result. Seymour pitched a re- markable game, allowing his opponents but one hit in seven innings, and that a scratch to the infield that Lajoie managed to beat out. Scrappy Joyce and his band could not have wished for anything easier than Fi- eld. NEW yor | PHILADELPHIA. R.HLO.AE. R.H.O.AE.

This is the first time that a decision of any kind by the common pleas court has been squarely against the club. Judge Dissettee holds that if the facts claimed by the plaintiff are true, then base ball on Sunday is a nuisance. The case to stop base ball will now be heard on its merits. Base Ball Briefs. Washington will have another chance at Brooklyn this afternoon. According to a report from New York, J. Earl Wagner last evening offered $2,500 for the release of two crack Eastern League players. The offer was refused. ‘The funeral of Jack Gilroy, formerly pitcher of the Washington club, and until recently of the twirling staff of the Nor- folks, who died a day or two ago, took place this mornirg from the home of the deceased, 2407 H street. Services were held in St. Stephen’s Church, and later the re- mains were interred in Mount Olivet ceme- tery. There were many floral tributes. Manager Hanlon of Baltimore has signed Pitcher Newton of the Norfolk club. The release of Newton cost $700. é The St. Louis Republic says: It looks as if Baltimore will win the coveted pennant flag again. Within the past week, thanks to the Browns, they have reduced Boston’s lead to one game, and as their team is in shape again, it is dollars to doughauts they will pass Boston before many days. Cin- cinnati has a strong team, and is playing well, but that last eastern trip, always heretofore fatal, may again prove disas- trous. But Cincinnati’ has the mighty Breitenstein this year, which cuts quite a figure. It looks as if New York may con- tend with Baltimore for the Temple cup. Finishing the season in the east is a great advantage to the eastern clubs, and badly handicaps the western representatives. It is stated on good authority that the sched- ule will be constituted on different lines next season, and the west will be given an even break. It is a fact-that Manager Selee once of- fered the Washington club Fred Tenney and Jimmie Collins, and his offer was not accepted, says the Boston Herald. That was before it was suspected that Collins could play third, or that Tenney was the fast man he has proved himself to be. Just think, if Wagner had taken these two men and hung on to “Chick” Stahl in ad- dition! The Cincinnati Enquirer is of the opinion that Patsy Tebeau had better brace up or he will soon have the name of a “quitter.” It says there is no mistaking the fact that the once king of scrappers is now very easy and mild mannered. He and his team quit in one of the games played there last week, and quit was written in large letters in the two games at Louisville last Wed- nesday. Wednesday's victory was the first th Philadelphia's have won from the Balti. mores since August 6, 1895. Captain Duffy of the Bostons thinks $7,000 would be cheap for Cy Young, and money that would be well spent. iernan has not made a sacrifi the last fifty-five games. eh Breitenstein has won thirteen last fifteen game: oe oe be PATCAEN BEATS POINTER. Fastest Mile Ever Paced Grand Circuit. ‘The results at Columbus, Ohio, yesterday were replete with surprises. There were four starters in the free-for-all pace: Joe Patchen, Star Pointer, Lottie Lorrain and Badge. Star Pointer sold in the pools at $100 to $20 against the field. It was the judgment of nearly every horseman that Pointer would win in a walk, and few were willing to buy the field even at the odds offered. But Pointer, did not win. The much-lauded conqueror of John R. Gentry and Joe Patchen was vanquished by the great son of Patchen Wilkes in one of the most exciting races ever witnessed. Patch- en not only won the race on its merits, but paced the fastest mile ever made in the grand circuit, hagas 3 the world’s record of 2.01%, made by John R. try at Glenns Falls, The track in supérb con- dition, having been thoroughly dried out by the wind and the sun, and worked down until it was as smooth as a floor.

The American tennis cracks established their supremacy over the visiting English team on the courts of the St. George Crick- et Club at Hoboken N. J., yesterday, be- fore a thousan@’ spectators. It was the final day of the ‘tourhament, and the crowd was larger and’jnore enthusiastic than at any previous contest, The result of Wed- nesday’s play had ‘left the two teams tied, each with three gamits won and three lost. R. D. Wrenn was pitted against H. 8. Ma- hony, G. L. Wrénn, jr., was drawn against . A, Larned met W. tin 10 It was the latter eontest that captured the attention offthe-gallery. When Larned and: Kaves sprang into the court they were-greeted with tremendous applause. Eaves:won the toss and chose the service. Eaves won the first game, but Larned promptly:struck his pace, and then began a brilliant exHibition of fast volley- ing American cent rally, Larned forged to the front, turning apparent defeat into a signal vic- tory. ‘Phe final score was 7-5, but these figures fail to convey the real brilliancy of the struggle. The crowd went fairly — and Larned was treated to an ova- tion. Though the score was two sets to one against him, Eaves played his prettiest ta. win. But Larned proved his master. The latter smashed and velleyed with splendid effect. Though his service was not so strong as that of his opponent, he made up for that by his clean net game, which was the best seen on the grounds this week. Eaves got the first game, but Larned fol- lowed with the second, and from that point the score see-sawed back and fourth until 4-3 was recorded in Lerned’s favor. Larned got the next game, chiefly on his opponent's errcrs, making it 5-3. Then Eav>s rallied, and caused momentary ex- citement by winning a game, Lut Larned made things sure by playing his steadiest game. Eaves was finally defeated at 6-4, which gav2 Larned the match. The match between R. D. Wrenn and Mahony, which took place on an adjoin- ing court, proved a runaway for the American champion. Mahony has not been well durirg the past two days, the heat proving too much for him. His play against Wrenn was far from being what it had been against the champion’s young>r brother on Tuesday, and he was defeated in straight sets. The second 2-t was won by Wrenn in six straight games, during which Mahony secured only five points. Nisbet was the only Englishman who won his match. He and George Wrenn also finished tefore Larned and Eaves left the courts. The result of the match left the Eag- lish team with a score fdr the week of four matches won and five lost, while the Americans finished with five won end four lost. Last night the players were enter- tained at dinner at the residence of Richard Stevers, at Hoboken. A handsome silver loving cup was presented by the guests to their host. FOUR FAVORITES won.

The bond was signed by ex-Alderman Cronin and Nicholas Griffin. Hurst umpized the Pitts- burg-St. Louis game yesterday. At noon Hurst received a message from N. Ashley Lioyd, treasurer of the Cincinnati club, stating that Chief Deitsch had expressed his willingness to have Hurst go to the ball grounds under constabulary escort, and after umpiring the game to return to the four courts to await the arrival of offi- cers, who would take him back to the Ohio metropolis. Chief Harrigan refused “to recognize the telegram and to release Hurst, whereupor. the writ of habeas corpus was obtained. ——————— 3 Heroie Treatment. From the Savannah News, ‘Thé touts and the regulars, the lambs and the tigers at Oakley were somewhat surprised one day last week to see a styl- ishly dressed lady out in the betting shed leaning against the counter where hard- boiled eggs and “hot! hot!” are dispensed to those who are hungry. She was the observed of all observers, and, though the cynosure of all eyes, she of the situation. Presently a gentleman stepped up hu:- weave, Helen: ‘hat in the world brought “Why, Helen, w! t you down here?” “I’m. hungry, that’s what I am, and I came down here to get lunch.” “But this is no place for you.

MATCHES IN PROSPECT The Details of One of the Wright- Walker Games. FROM OTHER CITIES The match for the chess championship of the District of Columbia between Messrs. F. M. Wright.and.F. B. Walker has come to a sudden termination by the removal of Mr. Wright during the past week to San Francisco. The last game between them was played on July 29. The score at the close was: Wright, 5; Walker, 4; drawn, 1. Mr. Wright, being unable to complete the match, lost it by default, and with it the title of chess champion of the District, for which the match was played. Mr. Wright was of opinion that he could relinquish the title to a third party. He thought that in the match games against him Mr. E. P. Hanna had shown more strength than had Mr. Waiker, and as Mr. Walker was be- hind him in the match, that he could with- draw from the championship in favor of Mr. Hauna.- This his opponent would not admit. Mr. Wright then said he would leave thé matter to the decision of Mr. A. Braid, a disinterested party. Mr. Braid, after Yéarning the facts, gave it as his opinion that Mr. Hanna was not a party to the transaction, and as Mr. Wright could not finish the match, he would have to lose it by default. Thus, in an unsatisfactory manner, Mr. Valker becomes chess champion cf the District of Columbia. Whether or not he is the strongest player in the District can only be determined by playing matches with the other players. There are three persons who have ex- pressed a desire to ply the winner of the Wright-Walker match, viz- O'Farrell, W. A. Gwyer, jr, and L. Tharp. Capt. O'Farrell was the first one to put nis chal- lenge in writing. Mr. E. P. Hanna will | doubtless also want an opportunity to con- _test for the title. Then there are several other strong players in different clubs who have not: come forward prominently, but who could give any of the players men- tioned a close rub. Among these are Prof. Simon Newcomb and Mr, Tupper of the Cosmos Club, the Austrian minister, cham- pion of the Metropolitan Club, and Messrs. Usina and Be One often hears it said that the players of today, do not play as well as the che: players did here twenty-five or thirty ago. Max Judd li well as Dr, Jones and other lights. are any old timers in the city who desir to contest for championship honors, they should address Mr. Walker, at the Wash- ington Chess Club. In case he loses the title, their challenges will be turned over to the victor. The Next Match. When Messrs. O'Farrell and Gwyer were supposed to be the only challengers, a | match between them was suggested and agreed upon, which resuited in favor of Mr. O'Farrell. Consequently, the next match for the championship of the District will be between Mescrs. Walker and O’Far- rell. It will probably commence some time next month. ‘The following is a summary of the match between Wright and Walker: Game. 5 3. 4 juioro Piano... 51..222Q. Gambit decline 6. Zak 7 8 9 10. Mr. Walker had first move in the od4- numbered games. He invariably played 1P—Q4 for the reason that Mr. Wright plays the French defense, in which he is quite adept, in reply to 1P—K4. Summer Tournament. ‘The summer tournament at the Washing- ton Chess Club continues very interesting. Mr. Smith is still in the lead. He won from Finn last Saturday night in a Ruy Lopez The chances ar2 very favorable that he will win first“prize, troughO'Farrell will not be far behind at the finish. Mr. Finn also lost to Ray, but won frcm Crofts, and has dropped from second to sixth place. O'Farrell has not played this week, while Harris won a game from Ray. Tibbetts won a game from Crofts, and Tucker and Campbell drew a game. The following is the standing of the play- ers: Smith. o Harris. Tibbetts. i New York Meeting.

Among the such an institution are th traveled to bring the pl her and the expense involved. Whist players come together annually in large numbers from all parts of the country. Se do croquet players and tennis experts, and there does not seem to be any good reason why chees players should not also come together an- nually. The prizes contended for need not be expensive, but should be handsome. this country play the pleasure they deriv and not for the prizes.

From the Oklo State Journal, Some years ago the rulers of the little repubiic of Andorra decided that the coun- try should possess a cannon. Krupp, there- fore, was ordered to manufacture one of the most modern type. é The great gun arrived at its destination in duc time, and was placed on the highest point in the “country,” so that the citizens could see that the valley was well yro- tected. A day was appointed to try the cannon, which was able to send a ball eighteen kilometers. To direct the shot, however, toward the surrounding moun tains would be the same as firing at France or Italy, as the ball would necessarily fall on the territory of cne of these countries. A war might be the result. It was then decided to shoot the ball in the air, but some one suggested that this would endanger the lives of too many peo- ple in its descent, and possibly bore a great hole in the republic of A f council prevailed, and the two were commanded to unload the shot has not yet been fired a the latest accounts, and the good republi- cans are uncertain what to do with their expensive gun. ++ Liquor Retard» Digestion. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. Many physicians agree that heavy drink- ers eat but little. In those accustomed ta the use of fermented drinks digestion is slower. If we habituatly drink water we are always hungry in three or four hours after eating. Some reason from this that alcoholic drinks are nourishing, while water is not. The truth seems to be that the system impregnated with alcohol is in a morbid condition. Obesity, gravel, rheu- matism and other ailments often result. Messrs. Chittenden and Mendel of Yale University have demonstrated by test tube experiments that fermented drinks retard the chemical processes of digestion. Ex- periments have also conclusively proved that in twenty days the same number of men can do much more work when drink- ing water than when they drink wine, beer and brandy. For the first six days’ they accomplish more with the strong liquors, showing its stimulating first effects, but it has been conclusiyely proved that in the longer time the man fed with water gives out more energy. Water is the natural drink, while wines, under the advice of a competent physician, are very valuable ad- itions to the pharmacopeia. Any S . | Crash Suit in the house to order, : $4.50,. E s to $10.
