Baltimore Cincinnati The Washirgton base bal enthusiasts are slowly coming back to the support of the local club, a good-sized crowd being at Na- tional Park yesterday afternoon to witness the defeat of the Brooklyns by the Sena- tors, the score being 7 to 3. Good playing wil lcatch the public every time, while you can't drive them into the paark when the club is losing. This is base ball the coun- try over. Hillary Swaim scored his third straight victory yesterday, his speed shocis being a cemplete puzzle to the Bridegrooms, but five safeties being secured hy them. Hil- lary’s bases on balls were particularly costly, as the entire three runs secured by the jitors were the result of free passes to first, but with men on bases the tall bey gave a masterly exhibition of getting the ball over the plate, and with sensational support by the other infielders manazed to creep out of numerous dep holes. Swalm is also rounded to as a batsman, being able to hit the ball at almost every turn at the bat, although not always safe, this being much better than striking out as a long fly generally advances the runner on hases. Manager Barnie sent Payne to ike cen- ter of the diamond, and he was good and bad in streaks, the Senaiors generally man- aging to hit the ball when runners were on bases. Brown was easy for him, ihe Sera- tors’ captain striking out three times. Tommy Tucker shifted to right hand _ hit- ting and did the best stick wi of the local team, getting in three saf> Two runs were placed to the Senators’ credit in the first inning. Selbach started the fun with a beautiful drive into the right-field bleachers, and ambled ¢.racefully around the bases. DeMont sir; but was forced second by McGuire. Tucker then drove a_ hard one into rijht that little Jones allowed to get away from him, and McGuire came all the way home. Both clubs drew blanks in the second inning, but the visitors got a runner over the home plate in the third. Burrell sent a single into center that filtered through Tom Brown, and the batter landed on second. Then “Germany” Smith sent a nice fly to Brown, and again an error resulted, Bur- rell coming home. Jn the fourth the visitors tied the score on Jones’ bases on balls, an out by Griffin and a two-bagger by Shindle. In the fifth a mournful wail went up from the fans as the Bridegrooms chased a runner over the plate and took the lead. Griffin walked to first on four bad balls, a wild pitch sent him to second, a fumble by DeMont landed him on third and A. Simith’s single sent him heme. The next four innings were bianks for the Bridegrooms, and when they left off the Senators took up the running and won out ecsily. in the sixth the crowd was set to cheering by a nice r lly at the bat that resulted in three runs for the home club. Tucker hit into right for a single and went to second on O'Brien's hot hit to Burrell that he beat out. Abbey then bunted in front of the plate and beat it out, filling the bases. Lit- tle Wrigley then came to the front with a nice single into left center that scored two runs, Tucker and O’Brien, and Swaim nit a long fly to the outfield that brought in In the eighth the Senators reeled for good measure. Tuck- singled to center, went to second on O'Brien's sacrifice and came home on Ab- bey’s corking three-bagger that sailed away over Anderson's head in left. Abbey then came home on Wrigle long fly to Griftin in center. The playing of the Senators’ infield, not- withstanding DeMont’s excusable error, was of the clean-cut, sensational order that affords joy to the onlooker. DeMont was all over his position, taking flies and grass cutters, while Wrigley, O'Brien and Tucker were right on his heels with good plays. Abbey, in right, and Selbach, in left, gob- bled everything, while McGuire, behind the bat, hid a good throwing day and killed off all attempts at pilfering_ bases. Captain Brown, in center, had his troubles yester- day, dropping two flies and permitting a grounder to go through him, but as the Senators wcn this conscientious player's off-day came at a luéky time. Tom ate up three flies that were fifty per cent harder to handle than the ones he missed. 0. The game wus full of interest, the pitching of Clark Griffith being the feature. Seven thousand spectators witnessed the contest. CHICAGO. ax| R104 Vi Oz 221 @ 0} 01200 31) 22400 1 0 © 21200 20 o2000 00 eoo43s1 20 ooz40 1 6 @0010 p. 1 | 00120 “Schriver. 0 Totals. . 2 2!

Mercer will try and fool them with his slow and speedy ones, while the new man, Dunn, said to be the find of the season, will be on the rubber for the Bridegrooms. ‘That pick-up and throw of Wrigley’s with Swaim blocking the way was a sensational effort. Zeke had his head near the ground when he got the ball, but Swaim threw himself on the ground, and the third base- man cut loose, nailing the runner by about a foot. Those little dinky flies that float to short left and right are the hardest kind to cover with any degree of precision. Yesterday lit- tle De Mont was after them all and nary a one dropped to the ground. Talking about the Brod!e Donnelly-Stenzel deal being a gold brick affair, how about the Corcoran-Ritchie-Smith-Fisher deal be- ing in the same class. Fisher has been sick all season, while the game put up by “‘Ger- many” Smith has been enough to drive a man to drink. Then take a look at the Cincinnati pair. Corcoran has been playing sensatioral ball since he joined the Reds, while little Ritchie, after covering short in masterly style until Corcoran reported, is now in the outfield and playing as well as the best. Joyce cannot afford to keep out of the game, no matter how poor he may be play- ing. Outside of his stick work, which has always been timely, Joyce keeps the play- ers going and inspires them with a “never I R.H.O.A.E. tt 10302 oo 12401 02 s 01000 a nderson, If. 0 0 1 0 0 -23 mith, c..0 1 2 0 0 ne 00140 ea 11920 0 2 00230 00 @0121 5261 4 0 2x7 90 0-3 Earned _runs—Wasbi ‘Two-base hit —De- Three-base ier.

The Baltimore toughs jumped into second place yesterday, and from this on it will take the hardest kind of playing to displace them, as they will be at home for the next month At present it looks as if the last week or two of the season would decide the peunant winner. Messrs. Reach and Rogers, the owners of the Phillies, have about come to the con- clusion that the exhibitions given by the players under their control needs looking into, and the Philadelphia Press this morn- ing says a general shaking up will result. Manager Barnie last evening said that the trouble at Philadelphia was that one or two players had been too long with the club and needed a change. It would not be surprising if the Quaker magnates took to young blood exclusively. They appear de- termined to stick to Stallings, and under the circumstances it would seem like shrewd management for them to get the old play- ers out of the way. There are several players on the Quaker pay roll that can be traded easy, notably Delehanty, Cooley, Dowd, Cross, Taylor, Clements and Boyle. Ryan of Chicago could not piay the other day because some one stole bis shoes, and no others on the grounds ,would fit him. Now for some crack about Chicago fe: Pickering seems to have “caught on” in Cleveland. In Tuesday's Pittsburg game he led the team in batting, with three nits in four times at bat. It was his first game with the “Indians.” Four out of five games from New York in four days is work that will land that pen- nant. Ed Hanlon and Harry Von der Horst must be awfully worried these days, as they counted on the Giants pulling the leaders down. Third Baseman McGraw of the Baltimore Base Ball Club, who sprained his ankle in a game at Philadelphia Thursday, arrived at his home. in Baltimore yesterday. His leg is swollen, and by advice of his physician ke will remain quiet for several “Pat” Powers, president of the Eastern League, sympathizes with “Nick” Young on the umpire question. He says that good Umpires are scarcer than good Indians, and that he has experienced great trouble with the Eastern League staff. . Anson made five hits the other day. He is the nineteenth player who has made five bits or more in a game this season. The others are De Montreville (twice), Cooley (twice), Delehanty (twice), Lajoie, Davis, Fred Clarke, Lowe, Tenney, Long, Tom Brown, Harley, Ouffy,, MacCormick, Callahan, Sockalexis, Tucker, Keeler and Stahl. Of these —Tenney, Harley, M mick and Tucker made six hits. Hawley and Ans0t thd a little seance on the field at Chicago,~says the Sporting News. The veteran tried to get Hawley going, but “Pink” was good natured. “Pink” yelled to 3; “If I had your money I would be riding in cushion-tired carriages.” “Yes,” satt Anse, “and if I thad the money you.think I have I would buy your release ittsburg, trade you for a yellow dog 8] t the dog.” It is with profound regret that the Phile- delphia Inquirer now admits that the “‘ns- tive American base ball players” will not do. At the outset/of the present season it noted with unusual delight the appearance upon the diamond of these, Mr. Sockalexis of the Cleveland (Ohio) team, and Mr. Don- ald C. Duffy of the Marietta (Penn.) club. Both, as this journal then pointed out, were Indians, though in the matter of color Scck had a slight advantage. He was ef the noble Penobscot tribe, and carried the tan of centuries in his unflinching cheek. Noe a time he made a magnificent showing, is leap of thirty-six feet holding the rec- crd, until Mr. Duffy, in an aerial flight af- ter a fly ball, crossed the forty-one-foot line, turning four somersaults in his de- scent, but landing on his feet and making a double play, wrested the laurels from him. Duff holds the record yet, but both are on the bench, ‘The great trouble with the American Indien in his crusade against Tum,” once sagely observed that philosoph- er, Bill Nye, “is that he fails to call a cab at the proper time.” Sock paid fine after fine with cheerfu' regularity, but he kept. on forgetting the cab, and now he has been suspended. Mr. Duffy, on the other hand, always calls the cab in time, but fills it up with Apolinaris water. The singular fate of these two players, from directly opposite causes, is on2 of the most curious incideats in the history of Indian decadence. LEAGUE AVERAGES. The race for the batting premiership of the National League has taken an interest- ing turn. Delehanty, the big Quaker, has not kept up his remarkable batting streak, and has dropped fully twenty points in two weeks. Manager Fred Clarke of the Col- onels has done effective work with the stick of late and has made a place for himself in the .400 class, while “Billy” Keeler has also gained a few points. As Clarke and Keeler both bat left-handed, and are fust runners and good bunters, Delehanty cannot afford to lag even a trifle if he wants to be champion. Jesse Burkett, last year’s great batsman, is fourth, with -377 points. Jim McGuire has taken De Montreville’s place as Washington's leading batsman. McGuire's batting the past two months has equaled that of any man in the league, and he now not only leads all the catchers in hitting, but also stands sixth from the top with .365. Tom Dowd of Philadelphia has dropped frem ameng the heavy hitters, while Mc- Graw is a newcomer in the .300 class. Mc- Kean of Cleveland, in past seasons one of the league's greatest batsmen, is still among the weak hitters. Boston has nine men in the .300 class, in- cluding every man in the in and outfields. Cincinnati has eight in the list, not one above .330. Chicago also has eight; Balti- more, seven; Washington, six (not including German); New York, six; Cleveland, five Philadelphia, five; St. Louis, four; Louis. ville, four; Brooklyn, two, and Pittsburg, two. In base running, Lange of Chicago leads the league with 56 stolen bases, followed by Hamilton of Boston, with 50. Stenzel leads Baltimore, with 48; Davis, New York, 42 Clarke, Louisville,’ '39; Selbach, Washing- tcn, Jones, Brgekt: 32; Miller, Cin- cinnati, 30; Cross, St. ‘qu Delehanty, Philadelphia, 24; Don6van, Pittsburg, and Childs, Cleveland, 20. Tom McCreery leads the league in the number of sacrifice hits, he having 24 to his credit. cee The following figures‘are taken from The Star record and aré‘complete up to and in- cluding Thursday’s games: ly AB.

Many Fine Fish Caught by Sycamore Inland,,Clubmen. The members of the Sycamore Island Club have been haying, some excellent bass fishing during the present week. On Mon- dey Mr. Joseph Ermentraut caught one welzhing 4% pounds just out from the is- land near the Virgfnia shore, and followed this with several weighing over 3 pounds. Mr. Ermentraut caught altogether in his two days’ trip thjrty-dne bass, all good ones. Mr. Fen Keys ¢dyght ten fine ones Wednesday afterndor, ‘and Mr. Jerry Van Horn got a big string of heavy fish.

SMITH IN THE LEAD The New York Midsummer Meet- ing Results in a Tie. SCORE WORTH STUDYING Mr. Smith continues well in the lead in the summer tournament at the Washing- ton chess club. He defeated Mr. Tibbetts last Saturday evening in an irregular open- ing after sixty-nine moves. Mr. Smith played steadily, and on the fortieth move won the exchange. On the fifty-sixth ‘move Mr. Tibbetts sacrificed a rook to save @ piece and in hopes of getting a winning attack, but it was unavailing, Mr. Smith repelling the attack and remaining with a winning advantage. Mr. Smith has but four games to play, viz., with Thomas, Tucker, Prender and Campbell, and judg- ing by the score of the players named, he should win from nearly all of them. O'Farrell has not played any the past week, and is still in second place. He has yet to play Finn, Prender and Campbell, and will be near the top at the finish. Harris had added a victory to his score by defeating Finn, and is but a fraction be- hind O'Farrell. He has still two games to play, with Tibbetts and Tucker. Mr. Crofts won his first game the past Week, his opponent being Thomas. Mr. Prender has not played a game for several weeks, owing to trouble with his eyes. Following is the standing of the players: L | Tucker. 14¢| Campbell 2” Crofts. 3. | Thoma 34] Preader Severe Losses of Strong Players. Captain James Hih, a prominent member of the Washington Chess Club, has gone into the field for the pension office, and will be absent from the city for some time. This makes the third member of that club to leave the city inside of two weeks. First, there was Mr. S. C. Dunham, who went to the gold fields of Alaska. He is a strong player, and has a national reputa- tion as a problem composer. He has given little time to serious chess, but prefers to piay off-hand games, smoking a pipe mean- while. He delighted in beautiful situations, and would forget all about his pipe when studying a combination. It used to be a question whether his tobacco or the matcn- es used in .ighting and religating his pipe cost the more. Next, Mr. F. M. Wright, who held the title of chess champion of the District ever since the close of the Libbey cup tourncys, ~over two years ago, thouga he has not since won a match played for that title or come out ahead in a tournament, two of which he entered, one two years ago and the club championship tourney last winter, has gone to San Francisco. Mr. Wright was at all times a “heady” player. His games were carefully studied, and though he often made a poor move in the opening, which injured his position, by persistent, thought- ful arc at times brilliant play, he generally managed to turn the tide in his favor. Captain Hill was rated among the best players of the club. He has not taken part in any of the recent tournaments be- cause of his eyes. His delight was to watch off-hand games played at the club and ex- change ptzasantries with the players. Messrs. Dunham and Hill were both on the committee to conduct the games by correspondence with the Metropolitan Chess Club of New York city, and consequently the committee of the local club is very much weakened. The New York club has its best players conducting the game, and do not propose to be defeated, as was the Brooklyn Chess Club. It will, therefore, be necessary for the local club to draft the services of its best players. Capt. J. P. Walker is spending the sum- mer at Atlantic City Mr. E. P. Hanna returned from his trip abroad much improved in health, and is spending the present month with his fam- ily out near Falls Church, Va. Other mat- ters may keep him from paying much at- tention to che:s the coming winter. A Tie in New York. The midsummer meeting of the New York Chess Association closed last Satur- day, with a tie between Messrs. Lipschutz and Steinitz for the possession the coming year of the Staats Zeitung cup. The play- ers were also a tie at the end of the first round. In the second round Lipschutz won from young Napier; then the boy won from the veteran Steinitz, who in turn won from Lipschutz. The tie will be played off the coming month. In the match between teams of seven, representing the New York and Pennsylvania State Chess Associations, the New Yorkers won by the score of Dts to 23%. Pillsbury of the New Yorks had the best individual ecore, 6% out of a possible 7. Hodges of the same team won 6 out of 7, and De Visser cf the New Yorks and Kemeny of the Pennsylvania team were tied for third place, with 4% won and 2% lost. A Recent Score. Below is the score of the last game play- ed in the match between Messrs. F. M. Wright and F. B. Walker. On his eight- eenth turn to play, Mr. Walker's’ attention was called by his opponent to the fact that he had but half a minute in which to make three moves, and the eighteenth move was made at once. It proved very troublesome thereafter. Castling on the queen’s side was better. Black threw away chances for a victory by exchanging rooks on the forty- fifth move. Had he sought an opportunity to double the rooks on the rook's fie, vic- tory would have been assured. Opening—Guico Piano. White. Black. | White. Bi F.M. Wright. F.P.. Walker | FM Wright.

Massamore, the assistant game warden of Maryland, has been mak- ing an inspection trip of the bass fishing grounds along the Potomac river. . Before the passage of the tri-state pro- tective law the pot fishermen were doing all they could to exterminate the game fish in their efforts to make profitable catches. Dr. Massamore finds a great change in the conditions. On Wednesday, Axgust 4, he started in a boat on the Po- temac, twenty miles' above Hancock, Md., and came sicwly down the river to Har- per's Ferry, reaching that point late Thursday afternoon of this week. On the trip he interviewed fifteen deputy wardens, all of whom said that the stringent law passed in the three states bordering on the river hud proved effective. The people along the route had obeyed the law, and no peng Dat been reed lines used. Sport in fishing with rod and reel while the water was clear. Dr. Massamore and Dr. W. S. Harban of the Blue Ridge and Woodmont clubs took a day's trial at the fish in the river below Shepherdstown. They caught thirty bass. The largest, weighing four and one- quarter pounds, was caught by Dr. Har- ban. The largest Dr. Massamore caught was two and one-half pounds. The gen- eral run of the fish was from two to three pounds. The largest fish caught so far this year weighed five and one-quarter pcunds. ard was captured by Dr. W. S. Harban. All along the route the information was that the bass were more numerous than in previous years. An attendant of a fishing club said he caught from 400 to 500 small bass in canal while fishing for bait minnows. The bass were put promptly back into the water. In netting minnows many large-mouth bass were caught. Dr. Massamore inter- preted this to mean that this species of bass as well as the small-mouth game bass are increasing under the protective laws. The canal weters also taught another lesson. In it Were numbers of small bass. ‘These, running up to six inches in length, were of this year’s spawn. Warden Mas- samore concludes that the bass find the canal waters suited for spawning, and that this adds another argument for the protection o®these fish in the canal Some of the old attendants and the old- est fishermen advised the Maryland repre- sentative of the Game and Fish Protec- tive Asseciation that the fish were mul: tiplying rapidly under the new law, they predicted that the Potomac river would in a few years be the river of rivers for fishermen. C. A. C. GETS TWO PLACES Washington Oarsmen Second in One and Third in Another Race. In the first day’s races in the silver jubl- lee regatta on the Schuylkill yesterday the Columbia Athletic Club won second piace in the international four shell race and third place in the senior four. The day’s events consisted of trials in in- termediate singles, senior four shells, in- termediate singles, senior singles, interna~ tional four shells, and the final and only one heat in the intermediate eights. Of these the feature events were t two senior four heats and the final intermediate eight. The Ariel Club of itimore won the first of the former by a haif length, and the Institute Club of New York the second senior four beat in a magnificent dash. in the eights the Worcester High Schovi Ath-| letic Association took the lead at the crack of the pistol, maintaining ic throughout, with the Montrose and Fairmcunt clubs, both of Philadelphia, following closely in he order named. ‘tin the remaining events the Wauchusett Club and the Columbia Rowing Association, both of Massachusetts, won the first two heats in the intermediate singles, and tne Narragansett Club of Providence the third heat. ‘The Pennsylvania Barge Club, West End Boat Club of Boston and the Bradford Club of Cambridge, Mass., won. respective- ly, the three heats in the senior singles, while in the international four the Institute Club of New York and the Argonaut of Torento each won a heat. All the events, with the exception of the international fours and the intermediate eight, were three-quarters of a mile and re- turn. The exceptions Were one and a halt miles straightawa‘ The day was perfect for sculling, and the course, skirted on either side by the pt turesque river drives of Fairmount Park, was almost without a ripple on its surface. There was a light breeze. Every precau- tion was taken to police the course and keep it clear of river craft, and in only one instance was there any interference with the racing. This was during the interme- diate eight. The New York Athletic Clad bad the outside water, and had passed the three-quarter flag in a close race for third place, when a yawl boat shot across its bow and struck it hard, slightly bruising Bogert’s arm. The crew stopped rowing, and claimed the action was deliberate on the part of the man in the yawl. The po- lice immefiately placed him under arrest. The judges did not call the other crews back, and New York was unable to finish. Much comment was indulged in over Ten Eyck’s decision not to compete in the se- nior singles. The first race, the interme- te singles, was called for 2:36 o'clock. By that time the river was crowded on both sides, and the Columbla bridge and bluffs on the East River drive were lined with spectators. Wilson of New York was first away on the start, but Lewis of the Wauchusetts Club soon caught him, and, pulling about a thirty-stroke, made the turn at the three-quarter flag first, and kept the lead to the finish, crossing five lengths ahead. Crescent caught the shot by a fraction in the first heat of the senior fours, and about a quarter of a mile from the start fouled the Ariel. Staten Island was then ahead. The crews were brought back to the start and got away together. Staten Island led fer a while, but Ariel and Cres- cent took the outside water, and at the turn Ariel got around first’ and jumped two lengths ahead. The New York crew held its position close in shore, pulling steadily, while Crescent floundered about in a zigzag course in outside water. Staten Island began to close up, and in a beautiful spurt to the finish kept Ariel's lead down to half a length. In the second heat the Institute took the lead and maintained it to the finish, Argo- naut and Columbia following. Argonaut tried hard to recover lost distance, but the Institute pulled fast and crossed a safe winner. Greer of the Columbia Rowing Associa- tion won the second heat intermediate sin- sles hands down. Charles Hfrris, Detroit Boat Club, did not start. Ed. Schulze of Providence won the third heat by an eighth of a mile. The greatest interest was centered in the three heats of the senior singles. Juvenal, who won the first, pulled a thirty-two- stroke throughout, and finished an easy winner. Whitehead was a winner from start to finish in the second heat, and Maguire, rowing strong, took the third beat by sev- e:al lengths. Summaries of the Day’s Events.
