In the eighth inning Tucker put the Senators in the game with a nice two-bagger; in the tenth he kept his team there by making a great stop at first base with runners on second and third, and in the same inning Tcmmy didn’t do a thing but knock the ball into the right-field bleachers for a home run after two were out and the game a tie. Tucker always plays ball to the best of his ability, and this ability has been of a high order the past season in Washing- ton, but yesterday was Tommy’s day to shine, and the halo that surrounded him was of dazzling brightness. “Silver” King was on the rubber for the Senators, and in the face of such a batting aggregation as the Phillies his work was very good. His delivery was punished to the tune of eleven safe hits, but in only two innings could the visitors bunch their bingles. In the second they drove two runs across the plate, and in the eighth three more runs were placed to their credit. Outside of‘these two innings King’s cross- fire delivery puzzled the Quakers. Fifield did the honors for the visitors, and also pitched a good game, all things considered, but his Waterloo came in the eighth and tenth innings. Tucker and DeMont. found his delivery very much to their liking, the former getting three hits— a single, a double and a home run—while the latter had to be satisfied with three singles. . Another notable feature, outside of Tucker’s playing, was the asinine work of Manager Stallings on the coaching line at third base in the second inning. Nobody doubts the earnestness of Mr. Stallings, but when he goes out of his way to inter- fere with the players who are in their posi- tion playing ball to such an extent as to result in almost serious injury, the severest ecrdemnation is deserved. Such tactics as pulling a player out of the way of a run- ner, going out of the coaching box to ac- ecmplish this purpose, may be legitimate work in the minor leagues, but in the Na- ticnal League savors very much of rowdy- ism. Cross was coming toward third at his topmost speed when Stallings grabbed hold of Wrigley and gave him such a push that threw him right in the way of the run- rer and a collision occurred. Both men were stunned for a minute, and it looked for a ‘minute as if Wrigley was out for good. Farrell and Brown rushed at Stallings, but their better judgment came to the res- cue, saving the Reuben manager from at least one good upper-cut in the region of the mouth, his strongest point.as a man- ager. It was a noticeable thing that the Quaker players permitted Stallings to fight his battle alone. Neither side scored in the first inning, but in the second the visitors chased two tal- lies across the plate. Cross got in a nice single to left and went to third on Nash's hit in the same direction, the latter get- ting second on account of the mix-up at trird on Stallings’ inerference. McFar- land's nice double brought them home. In the third, after the Quakers had been shut out, the Senators got one of these back. Abbey met one good and hard and sent it into left center for three bases, and scored on Cross’ error of King’s hit. In the fourth the home club tied the score. De Montre- ville hit into left for a single, was sacri- ticed to second and went to third on Tuck- er’s out to Lajoie, a pretty piece of base running. Fifield then obligingly made a wild pitch and De Mont raced home. Neither side scored in the fifth, but in the sixth the Quakers went to the fore with one run. Two were out when Shu- gart came to the bat and he quickly un- did the tie by sending the ball into the right-field bleachers for a home run. The seventh was fruitless for both sides, but the eighth was full of excitement and runs, the Quakers getting three and the home club four. Dowd led off with a double into left and came home on Delehanty’s single in the same direction. Shugart's three- bagger into deep left scored Del, and Shu- gart scored on Cross’ out at first. This lead looked bad for the Senators, but they got back at the visitors good and nard. Wrigley hit into right for a nice single, went to second on King’s single to center and home on Setbach’s single to lett, King going to third on the hit. On Brown's foul out, Selbach went to second. De Mont then came to the rescue with a nice single into left, and the two men ahead of him scampered home. Tucker's timely double then drove De Mont home and the score was tied. The tenth was a blank, and it looked as if the eleventh would result the same way. Two were out when Tucker came to the bat. It reminded one of “Casey at the Bat,” it was so different. The second ball suited Tommy and be cut loose with all his strength, and the game was over when the sphere brought up in the bleachers. amidst the yelling, shouting and handclapping of the spectators. Kelly umpired another good game, and will no doubt be assigned to a permanent position on President Young’s staff of um- pires. . WASHINGTON. PHILADELPHIA. R.HO.AE. 7 RBOAB.

Fisher was hit hard in the first contest, while Pond held his opponents down to eight safeties. In the second contest Corbett came back in the game, and did well, but could not win, although but six safe hits were secured off of his delivery.

The QUakers may surprise them when they gt t on their own grounds. j : The PhilHes got a good man when they signed McFarland. He 1g a better man than any the Quakers have beh!nd the bat, and there are few in the league that out- class him. = Gottman, the new man secured by Mana- ger Wagner from the, Fost Worth team, is known as the “Keeler of the south.” If he plays anywhere near Baltimore's littie right fielder he will do for the Senators. Over to the left of the foul netting sat a winsome bicycle ', who opined that there was no “sand” in Tucker's “bear- too, in her mind, was no ’95 model. ‘The Toronto team has at last landed in the first position for the Easiern League trophy. The team started of bad and were anchored for a time in the last posi- tion. Then the Canucks got ageing and kept it up continually until they landed in the lead. For consistent ball playing the Toronto team is the wonder of the base ball season of ‘97. The Washington club will grab about four of the Canucks this fall to a dead certainty. McHale,Wag- ner, Snyder and Dineen leok the most promising. The $500 received by the management of the Baltimore team as a guarantee in their game at Providence on Sunday was divided among the players. The directors of the Louisville Base Ball Club held a meeting Monday night and de- cided to strengthen the team in a vital spot. Two heavy hitters will be bought when the team goes east; and the para- mount point over ali others will be to get men to line *em out to the fence. Who these sluggers are is not yet known, though Captain Clarke has his weather eye on several eligibles. When Bill Kennedy, the Brooklyn pttch- er, heard of the fable that Boston had of- tered $10,000 for his release he turned up his nose, and said: ‘The Boston club wouldn't give ten bat bags for any mem- ver of this farmyard team. You can’t josh me.”” It would not be at all surprising if Dad Clark would join the Cincinnati club in a few days. He is anxious to become a mem- be. ot Ewing's team, and a deal may be made for him, notwithstanding the agree- ment that was entered into by Freedman and Pulliam that Clark was not to be transferred tu Cincinnati. That agreement will not prevent the Louisville club from releasing Clark and the Cincinnati club from signing him after he is released. Clark -would be a better man for the Reds than he will prove for the Colonels. Says the Boston Globe: “The oriole is something like the buzzard—he loves to feed on scraps. As a notorious aggrega- tion of tricky ‘inside’ ball players Mana- ger Hanlon’s boys take the prize. They showed their true colors’ when Boston, by game uphill work, forced them to take backwash. They went into the air like a lot of frightened colts, and used abusive language to the Boston players, to Umpire Lynch and to each other.” Yesterday was Ladies’ day, and one of the fair fans who ornamented the grand- stand said, enthusiastically: “Oh, he's just splendid; he’s the best player on the team.” “Who?” inquired her companion. “Why, O’Brien, that man who is going to knock the ball high up 3p the air. His unt- form always looks as jf jt, had just come from the wash. And see, how neatly he tucks his glove in his trousers pocket. He never gets down and rails, in the dust like some of the other plagers’ He has such a manly gait, and when i runs he trips along as pretty as a picture.” “Huh!” grunted an "goat ter in the next Trew, as he got up to ¢hapige his seat, “I can’t stand that. I didn’t know before, though, what O’Brien was fiald for. If it’s for keeping his clothes,cleah, that’s some- ning. wu CLOSE WORK art ‘FORT WAYNE. Favorites Won and’the Hetting Was Very, Spirited.

SINCINNATI, Ohio, August 11.—*Kid” McCoy, the pugilist, left here last night for a visit to his home at Middletown, Butler county, Ohio. When McCoy was shown William A. Brady's telegram from New York announc- ing that Creedon had signed, he said he would sign also—on the condition, however, that if vitascopic pictures were taken he would be given a share of the revenue therefrom. He is evidently waiting for an answer to that condition, as he had not signed when he left here last night. Surprise at Newport. Lockhart surprised the talent at Newport yesterday by winning the third race in a hard drive. The balance of the card went to favorites and second choices. MaclIvor, J. D.

The racing matinee at the Brightwood Driving Club track drew a fair-sized crowd of. trotting lovers yesterday afternoon. There were three events on the card. The first, a 2.40 class trot, for a purse of $100, was{won by General Beale, who took the second and fourth heats, in 2.37%, 2.39% and 2.394; Danny M. winning the third in 2.39%. Viola M. and Hayfield also trotted. The second race was easy for Hallock, who won three heats straight, the time for each being 2.39%.

J. Boldt. From Today's New York World. Two lives were at stake. If things were allowed to take their natural course both mother and baby would die. That was a certainty. On the other hand, there was a chance that the skill of the surgeon might save one or both Jt was a very slim chance, but the physician decided to take it, and so it happened that one of the most re- markable operations in the history of sur- gery was performed yesterday in the Post- Graduate Hospital and Medical School. The rews had gone forth among the med- ical fraternity that the delicate operation known as the Caesarian section would be performed in the face of complications that made it doubly difficult and hazardous. As a result more than 2) physicians were crowded in the seats of the operating am- phitheater when Prof. H. J. Boldt of No. 54 West 5ist street, upon whose skill and judgment so much depended, appeared in shirt sleeves and apron. The subject. a slender, delicate-looking woman, lay unconscious on the glass table, while fifty white-robed nurses from the hospital training school glided about, some holding ether cones, others preparing anti- septic baths and bandages, while a number of them stood silently by awaiting orders. In a few brief words Prof. Boldt gave his diagnosis of the case and described the operation he was about to perform. A large solid tumor, he said, made normal birth impossible. It would be necessary to make the Caesarian section, deliver the child and then remove the tumor. The professor illustrated what he believ- ed to be the location and extent of the timor, and ended by expressing the hope shed he would saye both mother and in- ‘ant. But many of the phys tiers of seats shook ti thought the professor was mistaken in his diagnosis. Others expressed their fears for the outcome. Professor Boldt picked up his knife and the doctors leaned forward with breath- less interest. Only the ticking of the clock on the wall broke the silence as with a quick, deft movement a long incision was made. The doctor’s fingers moved rapidly and the nurses worked like beavers. Suddenly the professor held up for an instant a weazened and blue mite, and a sharp lusty squeak was heard. That was the signal] for loud applause from the doc- tors. The baby, a boy, was alive, and the first part of the operation was a success. It had taken just ten minutes. The little newcomer was hastily bun- dled into a warm blanket and carried away by a nurse. The professor picked up his knife again and in.a few minutes had removed the tumor. The physicians were amazed when they Saw its size and learned that it weighed nearly twenty pounds. Three hours later the mother had re- covered consciousness and was doing well. The hospital physicians believe she wi wer. If she withstands the effects of the shock for twenty-four hours she will be out of danger. Baby, 100, has good prospecis. He weighs four and one-eighth pounds, and has been christened Caesar by the nurses. His home for the present wjll be a perfect- ly equipped incubator. He is already a great social favorite in the hospital and. had a dozen caliers yesterday afternoon. +o + MEETS CORRIGAN. ans in the steep ir heads, Some PRESIDENT Attends the Exercises at a Catholic School at Plattsburg.

Decisive Battle Between Loyal Troops and Insurgents Reported. Relief That Weyler and Gomes Met= Reliaforcemen: Being Harrieg Forward by the Spanish. A special to the New York Herald from Havana seys: Official information has reached Havana of a decisive battle be- tween loyal troops and insurgent forces in Matanzas. According to this informa- tion, the Spanish troops were routed, after a hard battle, with heavy losses. This news caused a veritable sensation in Havana, as it is generally known that Captain General Weyler is now in Ma- tanzas, and there is a belief that the Span- ish troops directly under him were those which suffered defeat at the hands of the rebels. However, if this is trac, the Span- ish officials here are taking great pains to suppress the fact. Then, too, the knowledge in some quar- ters that General Gomez is due in Matan- zas at about this time with a large body of insurgents added to the Interest in the While there is no good cause to eral Gomez was in the . there has for some time well founded in Havana, as f in_ th patches, that Generals Weyler and Gomez would meet in Matanzas. ~ No Deta of the Rattle. While I have been unable thus far to learn any details of the battle, I am in a position to state that the Spanish loss jn troops and officers was probably greater than in any recent battle. The Spanish troops wese compelled to give way the rebels, leaving many dead on the field. There seems to be considerable concern in the palace here to about the result of the battle. While the officials will not talk. I have learned that detachments of Cuban cavalry have been pouring into Matanzas from Santa Clara province, and, according to some reports, Major General Francisco Carrillo, commander of the 4th Army Corps, end Brigadier rals Rego and Monteagudo are among the leaders of the invading forces. A conceatration upon the Santa Clara border of all the insur- gent forces in Matanzas was ordered some days ago by General Avelino Rosas, the in- surgent con-mender of the province. In view of this rebel activity and the be- lief at the palace that General Gomez or his lieutenant, Major Gener: Carrillo, would attempt to make a demonstration against Havana large reinforcements of Spanish troops have been moved to the frent from Havana and Pirar del Rio provinces. neral W: intended to es- tablish his headquarters first in Matan: zas city and then in ince, in case the in pushing their way into Havana. Rumors Reach Hava A rumor reached this city last night that railroad traffic had been stopped on al- most all the lines running through Matan- zas province. Excitement w: ines, Havana prov- ns should succeed through Matanzas added :o by a later re- port that General W a the Marquis de Ahumada, the acting gover- ror general, to send as large a force of troops as spared to the vicinity of Guines, near the border of Havana and Matanzas provin Additional artillery was shipped last night to Guines. The present situation of General W is similar ‘0 check jomez and Maceo, and compelled to fall back successively at Coion, Jovellanos and Coliseo before the Cubans. Those in a position to know hint that the chief source of concern in the palace is the receipt of a cipher zas. The names of Wey patch from Matan- and several other Spanish generals, as those of Gomez and Carrillo, often repeated in the cou message. The alleged information in- the cipher dispatch, coupled with the demand for re inforcements at Gui . leads many to Svanish will make a further stand at ines.
