How they stood August 25, St. Louis. c Louisville. The Cincinnati club made its first ap- pearance of the season at National Park yesterday afternoon before a crowd of about 3,000 spectators, and managed to break their hoodoo, winning from the Sen- ators by the score of 9 to 6. Although the Senators managed to out- bat their opponents, the errors of the hom2 club were very disastrous and in almost every instance resulted in runs. The Ew- irgites ran bases with great cleverness and good judgment, and this feature alone is responsible for fully five of their nine runs, the wild throws of the Senators’ in- field and Catcher Farrell of course con- tributing in a great degree to the pilfering record. Some of the spectators blamed Captain Brown for the loss of the game because ke failed to capture Beckley’s fly in the third inning, but outside of the fact that the ball went to center on a line and dropped fully twenty feet in front of the skifty captain, the poor fielding of Farrell, Fox and Wrigley would have kept the lceals out of a victory at any rate. Brown has been playing a brilliant game in cen- ter ever since he has taken charge of the team, and when the onlookers see that he does not make a grand stand play for a ball his reputation as a ball player should tell them that the play could not be made. It is seldom indeed that Farrell gives an exhibition of poor throwing like that of yesterday, and for this reason his bad work can be forgiven. Wrigley is only a utility man and in playing third is evi- dently doing the best he can. Fox at short shows the absence of experience, and while he makes brilliant plays, it is the appar- ently easy ones that trip him up. De- them ‘all, one of them, a high fly in short right field, being a sensational play. Swaim was on the rubber for the Sena- tors, and notwithstanding the continual “kidding” of the red legs, pitched a very gcod game under the most disheartening circumstances. Opposing the big fellow was the $10,000 beauty, Breitenstein, who can consider kimself lucky that he has an- other victory to his credit. Fourteen hits with a total of sixteen is not a record to be proud of, but Theodore pulled off his game, and that is the main proposition. His support, outside of the second inning, was of the very finest. The Senators started off well, getting a tally in the first inning on Brown’s safe hit to right, Gettman’s safe drive sending him to third and then home on DeMont’s out to center. In the second they got three, and the spectators felt happy and the vis- itors concluded their old hoodoo had again come to the front. Tucker hit to center for two bases, but Tommy was caught at third on Fox's attempted bunt, the latter going to third on Breitenstein’s wild throw to first in trying to catch him off first. Swaim then singled, bringing Fox over the rubber. Selbach drew a base on bails and Brown planted his second safe hit in center, scor- ing Swaim and sending Selbach to third. While Breitenstein held the ball Brown started for second, and while he was being Tun down on the line Selbach scored, a pretty play. The visitors had made a tally in the first on Beckley’s home run into the bleachers, and with the score 4 to 1 against them in the third concluded to get in the game. Five rurs came their way after two hands were out, Breitenstein, Hoy, Beckley, Mc- Phee and Miller crossing the home plate on a combination of wild. throws, good base stealing and stupid handling of the ball. In the fifth the Cincinnatis chased two mere tallies across the plate. Beckley singled to left, stole second, went to third on Farrell's wild throw and home on Mc- Phee’s single into left. McPhee stole second and two outs placed him over the coveted rubber. In the seventh the visitors secured their ninth and last run. Beckley again came to the front with a double, went to third on an out and crossed the plate on Miller's single. The sccre was now 9 to 4 and the home club concluded it was time to take on a spurt, two runs being the result of this conclusion. Farrell singled to left and Fox's line drive over short sent him to second. Then McPhee dropped Wrigley’s fly to short right, a difficult play, filling the bases. Hillary Swaim then came to the rescue, astonishing the spectators with a pretty single to center, scoring Farrell and Fox. In the last inning the Senators failed to score and the visitors did not take their turn at the bat. Umpire Lynch's decisions were impartial- ly given and usually correct. WASHINGTON. R.H.O.A.E.

Opportunity of the Nominal Fee Be Extended or Renewed After September 1. ‘The $3 rate ends with the last day of August, and it will not be extended or renewed under ony circumstances, or to any individual. Doctor McCoy has given full and emphatic no- tice that, beginning with September 1, all those who do not begin treatment or renew their treat- ment before that date must pay his regular fee. He has the rate in order that all might have ample opportunity to take advan- tage of it, and he has reached the point where, if for no other reason than because of the limit of his office facilities and bis time, it would be necessary extended to withdraw this nominal rate, which he has 80 long given to the people of Washington. ONLY SIX DAYS OF THE OPPORTUNITY REMAIN. Only those who begin treatment or renew their treatment during the next six days—that is, before Septem- ber 1—will be treated until cured at the rate of $3 a month. This offer positively closes Tuesday, August 31, at S p.m. HUSBAND AND WIFE BOTH CURED. Rev. L. L. Smith, 606 Gth st. s.w., clergyman of the Church of the United Brethren: “I most heartily recommend Doctor McCoy's treat- ment. I have experienced its wonderful benefits, and it is because of personal knowledge that I speak as I do. “For eighteen months I had suffered from dull headaches, accompanied by rumbling noises fn my head and partial deafness. I became so hard of hearing that I had difficulty in attending to my every-day duties, and I could not understand or- dinary conversation. “Doctor McCoy's treatment has given me com- plete relief from the headaches and from the dis- tressing, unnatural noises, and my hearing bas been completely restored. “I also, when I went to Doctor McCoy, had been troubled with a catarrhal condition of the nose and throat, which caused me to hawk and spit continu- ally. In the morning I wonld have a bad taste in the mouth, and # gagging sensation. My sleep was not refreshing, and I would wake in the morning feeling tired and unrefreshed. “I have been completely cured of all my troubles. I sleep well, have no wore discharge from nose or throat, and feel refreshed and vigorous in the morn- ing. The improvement in my general health has been wonderful, as well as the restoration of my hearing."* “The above interview was published in December, 1896. I have had no trouble with my bearing since. Today it is as acute as the day I was discharged, cured. \ L. SMITH.” Years’ Sanding. Mrs. Jenny Smith, 606 6th st. s.w.: “I don't think any one ever had Asthma worse than I had it, especially during the latter part of the nineteen years I suffered from it. It began first during the winter, and for several years troubled me only at that season. Later, it came on at any time, summer or winter. The least exposure to draught, after being overbeated, was stre to precipitate an attack. “I became so sensitive to draughts that I could uot ride in an open car in midsummer without being wrapped up. I coughed incessantly, and was so short of breath that I could not Me down at night; I have spent alght after night sitting up in order to get my breath. “Of late years my breathing was never clear, and the least cold wonld bring on the wheezing and awful shortness of breath. “My shoulders and chest ached fearfully from the effort in breathing. “I was so feeble when I began treatment with Doctors McCoy and Cowden that I could scarcely walk. “That was In Acgust, just a year ago, My con- dition began to improve after I had been under treatment but a short while, and in December last I gave it up. “I felt that I was cured. But I wished to test the permanency of tne cure, and told the Doctor that If, for a year, there was no return of ‘he trouble, I should be glad to twstify.to my cure. “It was a year in July since I had my last at- tack, and I feel that I am compietety cured.”” McCoy System of Medicine, PERMANENT OFFICES DR.

The second and last game of this series with the Cincinnatis will be played this afternoon. McJames will do the twirling for the Senators, while Dwyer or Ehret will be on the rubber for the visitors. ‘The games scheduled for New York and Boston yesterday were postponed on ac- count of rain and will probably be played today, making double-headers. Analyze the game before hissing a hard- working player like Brown for an almost impossible play. The ghastly throws of Farrell and Wrigley, coupled with the fumbles of Fox, were what lost the game. The visitors looked very natty in their pretty suits, a combination of grey and red, and conducted themselves on the field at all times like gentlemen. The Cincinnatis have many friends in this city, who are hoping they will get into the Temple Cup series. Harry Weldon, the well-known and popu- lar sporting editor of the Cincinnati En- quirer, is traveling with the Reds and re- newing acquaintances along the route. Harry is a firm believer in the Reds getting up into second, if not first, vlace. Jake Beckley was quite numerous with his stick yesterday, getting in two singles, a double and a hoine run. If Beckley con- tinues the good work he has been doing since joining the Cincinnatis there is very little likelihood of Manager Ewing getting back on the initial bag. “Dummy” Hoy had a happy smile of greeting for old ‘friends. Hoy is still the good player he was while with the Wash- ingtons. He captured seven files yester- day, one of them making him duck his head to avoid the sun. Hoy has plaved that field beforc'and is up to old Sol's tricks. Manager Ewing had quite a lengthy con- versation with ,Presiggnt Young in the grand stand, while ee game was in pro- gress, but after the Wed ‘Legs had cinched the contest. umpfre question was dis- cussed in many: details, President Young faking “Buck. to tagk in a good-humored way for several allegations said to have been made by him against the staff. Both parted, as uspal, the, best of friends. There is no questfon about the Cincin- nati infield, Beckley, McPhee, ran and Irwin, being almost if not the best in the league, in a fielding sense. Everything was handled yesterday with the acme of grace and skill by this quartet, the error charged to McPhee heing -a dropped fly back of first bage on,the foul line and ex- tremely difficult, It Is,only a McPhee that would have got ,under it. ‘The coming, games at Baltimore ‘between the Orioles and Cincinnatis will undoubted- ly decide which club will finally roost second place. “Manger Ewing and players know this, and will put forward their best efforts to win a majority of the games. Jennings 15 out of the Baltimore club for the remainder of the scason on account of a ruptured-tendon of his right arm, and Willie Keeler had a nail torn from a finger of his left hand yesterday. Quinn and O’Brien will go in as substitutes, and while being good men can hardly fill the shces of the injured players. It looxs like a death struggle for: the Orioles to hold on to Anson promised his friends in this city that he would take four out of the six games played in Baltimore, but yesterday's games look like a poor start. “Cy” Voorhees, the ex-collegian pitcher, who has. done good work for the Atlantic: ‘City team this season, practiced with the Phillies yesterday, and may be given a.

They are the Balti- mores and Washingtons. “Give us back Dick Harley for Tommy Dowd and keep the change,” is the way Philadelphians mourn that 4 to 2 jeal of the days when the June roses bloomed. Several threats have been made to keep Fred Pfeffer off the league’s umpire staff because of his connection with an alleged revolt several years ago. His year's lay- off was enough punishment for that affair. Red Ehret and Heine Peitz were notified yesterday by President Young to pay $20 and $10, respectively, into the league treas- ury. These are the fines imposed in Phila- delphia by Umpire Kelly. Tim Hurst, the base ball umpire, who was injured Monday in the second same between the Brooklyns and Pittsburgs at Eastern Park, is slowly recovering. He is suffering from a hemorrhage of the brain. A foul ball struck him on the head. The attending physician says that Hurst will be out in a week. It is said that Beck of the Toledoes, the best second baseman in the Interstate League, will be signed by the Washing- tons. Captain Ewing today recommended to Captain Brown the crack pitcher of the Detroit team. His name is Hahn.—Cinein- nati Enquirer. A St. Louis writer has discovered a great shortstop, whom, he thinks, can be met tioned with Jennings, Corcoran and Dal len. He says: “In discussing shortstops of great caliber George Davis is rarely mentioned, but his work in the late New York-Boston series at the Polo srounds bordered on the sensational. In the four games Davis accepted thirty-nine out of forty chances offered, and he was really complaining of a sore foot at that.” “You may as well make up ydéur mind to be skinned alive in Baltimore,” says Beckley. “Jack Sheridan was the only umpire on the staff who ever dared give a visiting team a fair show, and the Balti- mores lied him off the staff. I was put out of the game once at Baltimore for merely asking ‘How's that?’ and the same afternoon Jennings, McGraw and Kelley played horse with the umpire and rode around on his back, but he was afraid to put any of them out.” EARL KISER WON. His Race With Bald, Loughend and Tom Cooper at Buffalo. Kiser, Bald, Loughead and Tom Cooper competed for a $1,000 purse in the special invitation one-mile race at Buffalo, N. Y., yesterday, and attracted a record-breaking crowd to Buffalo Athletic Field. Most of the spectators were there to cheer for Eddie Bald, but they were compelled to witness his defeat by Earl Kiser, who won the two heats by desperate sprinting. In the first heat Bald started the sprint from the rear on the last eighth, but Kiser and Loughead passed him in the stre ishing in the order named, inc apart. Cooper was a close fourt The second heat was a procession until the last half, with Loughcad ahead and Bald trailing. Here Baid went high on the banking and came lik taking Kiser up the hill, 1 getting the pole. He looked a sure winner a few yards from the tape, but Kiser jumped in and beat him out by a tire’s width, with Loughead and Cooper close up. A. A. Zimmerman rode an exhibition mile in 1.52 2-5. ‘Tom Cooper rode an_ exhibition half, paced by a tandem, in .55. Summary: Final heat, 2.15 class, one mile—C. C. Dirnberger won. Time, 2.10.

L'Alouette, a filly belonging to the Thompson Brothers of Brookdale, and trained by Jimmy Rowe, won the Futurity yesterday at Shepshead Bay in the pres- ence of about 12,000 people and to the sur- prise of every one, even to the owners and trainer. Had L’Alouette belonged to aay other person than the Thompsons and quoted individually in the betting, she would no doubt have gone to the post at 30 to 1 without a taker. Of the three Thompson representatives, the Huguenot and Gibraltar were both con- sidered far superior to L’Alouette, es- pecially on a heavy track such as grected the contestants yesterday. But it is only a repetition of «several big thoroughbred events this year when the unexpected hap- pened. Howard Mann won the Brook!yn handicap when Belmar, from the same stable, was considered far superior, and Octagon and Don de Oro have chopped about several times. Scottish Chieftain also won at Morris Park when Matt Byrnes thought Ogden was a sure winner. The special correspondent of the Phila- delphia Times says of the great event: To describe the race is impossible. The field was so closely bunched from flag fail that it was only in the last few strides that L’Alouette struck out by herself, ard even her margin was small to what is usually the case in a race of such import- ance. Had the track been dry instead of slow, there is every probability that Uriel would have landed the rich prize of nearly $50,000, for he ran a cracking good race in going entirely unsuited to him. What, then, would he have done on a fast track? Mr. Galway’s Lydian, which finished sec- ond, tame very close to pulling off a good thing. As good as 30 to 1 was offered against him, and a few smart people from Saratoga, where he had been prepared, fell to him. Plaudit, the good thing of “Brown Dicks,” dropped into fourth place, and Demagogue would have done better had he not seesawed from one side of the track to the other in the final furtong. Both the Huguenot and Gibraltar were lost in the shuffle, and were hardly “spoken” after the first quarter or so. Howland, of which so much has been said and written, cut a very sorry figure, never being prominent enough to cause suspense from the others. There will be a great many tabular descriptions of the race, but it would be impossible to give a positive table on the race. The horses ran so close together all the way that any of the first dozen might have turned the tables on L’Alouette at any moment. It was a pretty race and exciting all the way, and though L’Alouette won, there are very few who believe she is the best horse in the bunch, though she was the best yesterday without question, for she showed both speed and endurance, ran gamely and truly and was ridden as well as any jockey could have ridden her. WRENN IN GOOD SHAPE. Confident of Holding His Own in the ‘Tennis Championship Matches. The international tennis tournament cpened at Niagara, Ont., yesterday after- looking: tion. and the in practice George were out for awhile Monday after- noon on the Casino court, playing sev>ral games, and those who saw the champion are more confident than ever that he will win when the all-important match is Played. and that whoever beats him must put up the best tennis ever seen in this country.

Captain Cochran of the Princeton foot ball team will put promising candidates of the back field at work at Cape May for preliminary practice next week. “Johnny” Baird, last year's full-back, is already on hand. Others coming are Wheeler, Kelly, Bannard, Poe and Palmer. They will re- main until September » It is under- stood that Baird will be brought in from full-back to quarter this season. He has played the position before and is expected by Captain Cochran to do as good work as Smith. Wheeler will undoubtedly se- cure the full-back’s position, as his work last season stamped him as the most promising of the substitute ‘ks. Holt, the ex-Harvard guard, is likely to be placed at tackle, while Potter, a Philadel- phia boy, will be given a good trial at cen- ter. Harvard's Early Practice Of. On account of a shortage of funds, the plan to give the candidates for the Harvard foot ball team two wecks of practice this summer has been abandoned. Captain Cabot has written to this effect to some twenty-five men who were slated for the cuting, at the same time requesting them to keep themselves in the best trim. He has ordered the candidates to report for regular practice: at Cambridge on Septem- ber 20. Sgt SOME SAY THE DEVIL’s DEAD. Colored People at Mountville, S. C., Arrange for His Burial. A special to the Baltimore Sun from Mountville, 8. C., says: Over 5,000 colored people in this vicinity have quit work in answer to a call to assemble for the “burial of Satan,” who, they say, has just been by a jury of twelve angels and sentenced to everlasting burial in this place. These people have been holding a revival meeting in the town, and as a result of a collection they bought a bell to adorn their church. It was upon the first ringing of this bell that some of them said they de- tected the announcement that the burial of Satan was at hand and that the ringing must be kept up continuously. The ring- ing has since been kept up and the colored people have been thrown into a high pitch of fervor, in which they forget all things of earth and rave like lunatics. Every day the number of the devotees is bein gadded to from the surrounding coun- try, and the result is that the cotton is standing unpicked in the fields while this wild demonstration is in progress. The at- tending colored ministers say they have at- tended the court of heaven in person,where God, the judge, after Satan had been con- victed by a jury of twelve representative argels, passed sentence on him, turning him ever to the colored people of Mountville to bury once and forever. Ten minutes are now allowed between the intervals of ringing the bell, during which the attending crowd sings vocifer- o.sly and declares all manner of revela- tions. ——-—+e Transfers of Real Estate.

To the Editor of The By ning Star: A few evenings ago I saw a letter in The Star asking the cause of the round holes in rose leaves, presumably eaten by some insect. I was glancing over the last issue of the Natioral Intelligencer of this city, which contained an article on leaf-cutting bees, from which the following extract was teken: “Perhaps some of our readers have noticed on their rose bushes a num- ber of leaves in which neat round or oblong holes were cut. This is the work of the leaf-cutting bee, a pretty little insect locking rnch like a common honey “Although the leaves all too common, the or which they are sacrificed is seldom seen, for this little bee is a carpenter as well as a leaf cutter, and hides her home away deep in the heart of some old post or board. When a hole is drilled to her satisfaction our little friend stops carpentry work and flies to the near- est rose bush and selects a tender, perfect leaf. From this she cuts oblong pieces, which are carried to the nest to form the thimble-shaped tub at its bottom. tub or nest is filled with pollen or honey, on which the tiny egg is placed. Another trip is taken to the rose bush, and this time a perfectly circular piece a_ trifle larger than those already cut. This the little worker forces into the upper end of the tub, forming a tightly fitting stopper. These operations are repeated until the hole is filled with tubs one upon another. The lowest egg hatches first, and each young bee waits for the one beyond to go forth in the same manner as the young carpenter bee.” “THE DRILLERY.” All Cle aning about the house, pain., floors, pots and pans, dishes and glassware, silver and tinware, can be done better, quicker and cheaper with Dp Gooust than with any other cleansing com- Pound.
