EAM FOR NEXT YEAR Record of the Clubs. ‘The game at National Park yesterday afternoon between the St. Louis and Wasn- ington clubs was extremely interesting from a home point of view, as the Sena- tors played excellent ball throughout and won very handily by the score of 6 to 1. The last two games played\by the Wash- ingtons could hardly be improved on, and it is a pity that the infield changes could fot have been made earlier in the season. While Charley Reilly is not the best third baseman in the league, he is far from be- ing the worst, and his experienée and headwork apparently ‘give confidence to the rest of the team, The Washington club has suffered for several seasons for want of a reliable third baseman, and this fact alone has made many of the local enthu- siasts look with favor upon Reilly's work. Every member of the team yesterday seemed to be playing on tiptoe. Their field- ing was almost perfect, the one error being a bad throw by Brown, who took a chance to catch Hallman at first and make a dou- ble play after a beautiful running catch. ‘The taking of these chances. should be looked on with favor, as it removes the suspicion of record playing that permeated the team for several weeks past. The wild throw was not costly, as Hallman failed to score. Winnie’ Mercer was on the rubber for the Senators, and as he got out of his first inning all right it only remained for the onlookers to settle upon what the final score would be. As usual, Mercer's slow drop fooled the heavy hitters of the Browne, but with fine discrimination the Senators’ twirler would mix in a speedy straight one that would generally cateh the batter off guard and result in a strike. Mercer does not depend on his good right arm for his pitching reputation, his head work being far superior to his muscle. Donohue was singled out as the victim for yesterday's game. as it has come down to offering up a victim every day by the Browns, the club playing so listlessly that it would take something even better than a Rusie to pull them out of a game with 4 victory to their credit. The Browns’ pitch- er seemed to have all his speed and curves with him yesterday. but all he had to do was to place the ball over the plate, and the eagle-eyed Serators would do the rest, Farrell and Tucker being especially Dleased with Donohue's delivery. After the Browns had been retired in the first inning by a beautiful double play by: Reilly, ‘that knocked out at least one rua, the Senators tore off one tally when they came to the bat. Selbach made a nice sin- but went out trying to steal second. Gettman then was hit with the ball and went all the way to third on DeMont’s out, Donohue to Douglas, a pretty ,piece of base running. Farrell then hit safe and the sht fielder came home. s got this run back in the second, on Murphy's single to right, an- ether safe one by Harley sending him to third and then home, while Hallman wat being put out at first. The home clib took back this run in their second turn at the bat and then went to the fore and stayed there for the rest of the game. Reiliy hit to left for two bases and Wriz- ley brought him home with another of the same kind into right. In the third the Senators got another. Farrell singled to right and Brown beat out an infield hit. Farrell scored on Tucker's nice single to right. A blank for the Senators relieved the monotony in the fourth, but in the fifth’ they went to work and tore off an addi-; tional run. Farrell singled to left and at third, Harley threw wild and Farrell’ continued on home, Brown being put out at the plate on the same play. In the sixth the home chfb scored two runs and their last of the game. Reilly singled to’ left and went to second on Wrigley’s sacri- fce, and then home on Selbach’s slashing two-bagger to left. Gettman beat out an infield hit to Cross and on the throw to first, Selbach dashed for home and made it by a hair, @ fine piece of base running. After the second inning the Browns tore cff blank after blank. The nearest they came to scoring was when they had a man on third in the fifth inning. Umpire Kelley handled the indicator yes- terday, and did well, all things considered. His big fault is allowing the players to talk too much. WASHINGTO: is ST. LOU; k. N.

The new man handled himself well on the bases yesterday, and as his batting eye.is sure to come around, he can be counted on as a fixture, as his fielding 4s strictly up to date. Dick Harley, the erstwhile Georgetown ‘boy of "95, was given a hearty reception when he came to the bat the first time, by his “local friends, and, as usual, Dick re- sponded with a poor game. This boy has been playing phenomenal ball all over the circuit, but whenever he strikes Washing- ton he goes off in his work. The last time he was here, on the Browns’ first trip, Dick also played poorly. McCreary didn't dod thing to Clark Grif- fith in New York yesterday—only two dou- bles and three singles. The local. manage- ment could have had this boy at one time, ‘but his erratic work fooled them as well as it did the Louisville magnates.

Both Killen and Hawley have great repu- tations, but they are not pitching even or- dinary base bal!. It is my intention to give the youngsters a chance in the future and see what they can do.” ‘The Pittsburg players all seem very sore over their defeats, and there seems to be no question that they are all out to win.

LOOKING TO NEXT YEAR. Mr. Wagner's Talks About His Plans for °98, Harry Weldon telegraphs from this dity ‘6 the Cincinnati Enquirer the following interesting items: President Wagner said today there was nething in the reported trade of Selbach for Elmer Smith of the Pittsburg team. The Washington players will be paid un- til October 15, but will be released from further duty on October 2. President N. E. Young, in a conversation with Manager Bancroft yesterday, told the business head of the Cincinnati clu} that he believed in the plan to bave each of the teams make three trips each next season. ‘This is encouraging. Enough of the league magnates have already spoken in favor of the plan to insure-a change in next season's schedule. Shert trips-and short sessions on the home grounds will probably be the rule in the big league next year. Captain Ewing told Manager Bancroft to sound President Wagner in regard to a trade for Outfielder Selbach. “Can we make a trade with you for your left fielder?” asked Manager Bancroft of the head of the Washington club while the game was going on. “I guess so,” reply. “What do you want for him?’ eagerly inquired Bannie, smiling at the prospects of a trade. “I'l take Corcoran and Irwin and say no mcre about it,” replied Wagner, snriling biandly, as Manager Pancroft made a hasty exit to the street and dodged into a beer saloon to “pull himself together.” No trade will be made for Selbach. was President Wagner's “I would rather win one game off the Baltin.ores than four off any team in the league,” said Earl Wagner today, “yet my team pleys the worst kind of ball against the Orioles.” “Why are you so particularly anxious to beat the Baltimores?” I asked. “In the first place, because it pleases the Washington people better than any victor- ies we win,” was the reply. “In the next ace.

Both placed well, Wrenn hav- ing, perhaps, a trifle the advantage in this respeet. At times ke seemed to drop the balls all around Eaves in every part of the court by turns, but never just where his oppenent. could .get within reach of them. Indeed, placing was a marked characteris- tc of the entire play, which was through- out of the driving sort, neither man resort- img-much to the use of the lob. At the net Wrenn seemed to be stronger than on tke base line, and whenever he came up he did his most effective work against his antagonist. Often he wouid force the Englishman back by hard driv- ing, and then coming up fast himself, score on balls dropped short across the net, or ‘ vif R. D. Wrenn. else pess his man down the side line or unexpectedly across court. ’The gathering which witnessed the match was of a character and size befitting its importance. Never before,was there seen on the Casino courts such a crowd, not even three years ago, when Wrenn defeated Goodbody, another foreign challenger, un- der circumstances similar to those of to- day. Everybody interested in tennis re- membered ‘how then, after all the others had gone down, the champion stood firmly against the | all-conquering » Irishman. Everybody hoped and a majority believed that he could do the same thing again this year, and everybody wanted to see it done. So an hour before the game began many chairs about the court were already occu- pied. Half an hour later spectators were lined three arid four deep on three sides, with a few seats taken on the grand stand. Still the crowds continued to surge across the lawn untilseats were at a premium, as high as $ being offered for a single chair. Every point which afforded even a partial view. of the court was occupied. Men were perched in trees, others stood on boxes, barrels or stepladders, while even the fences served as a vantage ground for the smail boys. The weather was, like the match and the attendance, of the finest, a cool breeze blowing and the sun shining from an al- most unclonded sky. Ningara Tennis Tourney.
