The bright feature.of yesterday’s contest at National Park between the Pittsburg and Washington clubs was the remarkable heady pitching of Win Mercer. The Pi- rates secured nine hits off of his deliv- ery, but they could have had twenty in the same way without direful results. Fully seven of the hits were made without any one on bases, and when they counted for nothing, and as for bunching their hits, it seemed as if the Pirates were exceed- ingly glad to get anything. About the only time a safe hit would go to the out- field would be when Mercer dallied a little too often with his slow drop. It was this dalliance that permitted Harry Davis to at last gauge one of Winnie's slows, and @s a result it went into the bleachers on the first bound. In the same way Steve Brodie connected with one of the slows and a three-bagger resulted. But these were about the only bright rays in the Pirates’ cloudy day, and, as Mercer would say, “‘let it go at that. Mr. Hughey was on the rubber for the Pirates, and although he is reported to be in first-class shape and doing fine work these days, his reputation and the report were given a violent shock yesterday by the Senators. In the first inning the bat- ting had a resemblance to a “cherry pie” feast; in the third the feast was repeated, and for the remainder of the game it look- ed as though the Wagnerites could have easily come again should the necessity arise. Thirteen hits were the sum total on the day, Selbach and Mercer being the only Senators who were crowded out of the feast. After the Pirates had been retired in the first without a run the Senators, by suc- cessive batting, scored three. Brown sin- gled to center and went to third on De- Mont’s single to right. Farrell shot one through the infield, scoring Brown and sending DeMont to third, the batter going to second on the throw-in. Gettman then hit a short fly to left that permitted De- Mont to score, and on which he took sec- ond. Tucker’s fly to deep right scored Farrell. In the third three more tallies came the Senators’ way, making the score 6 to 0. DeMont started the fun with a single to center. Farrell bgat out a grounder to Ely. Gettman ther sertt’oné of those lazy boun: ers between Hughey,and Davis, and being shifty on his feeb beat ‘out the throw, fill- ing the bases. Tucker then sent a’ nice single into center that s¢pred DeMont and Farrell and ‘placed Gettman on_ third. Reilly followed with a long fly to left and on the out Gettman scored. In the sixth the Pittsburgs captured their first run, and then the Senators imme- diately evened it up by also scoring one. It was Davis’ tong fly to right that bounded into the bleachers that turned the trick. Tucker was the man that got it back. He started with a nice single to center, went to second on Reilly’s sacrifice, and came home when Wrigley pasted a nice single inte right, In the seventh anoNer run went to the credit of the visitors, the result of a ghastly wild throw by Mercer. Sugden bunted beautifully in front of the plate, but Winnie would have caught him had a good throw been made. The ball backed up against the right field bleachers, and when {t came back into the infield Sugden was on third. Hughey’s out, second to first, sent the lucky Sugden over the plate. In the eighth the Pirates scored two runs, their last of the game. Davis hit into right for a single, and on Wrigley’s bad throw of Hoffmeister’s grounder both runners landed en third and second, respectively. Davis came home on Ely’s out, and Hoff- meister scored on Brodie’s three bagger to left center. The Senators made their eighth and last run in this inning.. Tucker was the lucky man again. He worked a base on balls, and went to second on Davis’ error of Hughey’s throw. Reilly’s safe bunt landed Tommy on third, and he came home on Wrigiey’s single. The Pittsburgs failed to score in the ninth, and the home club, of Sone. didn’t take their last turn at the at. Umpire Kelly had another feverish day of it, but did fairly well, the chief trouble being with the players, who tried in every way to rattle the new arbitrator. A few fines would bring the obstreperous men to their senses. WASHINGTON. PITTSBURG.

The second game of the series with Pitts- burg will be played this afternoon, Me- James being on the rubber for the Scna- tors, and probably the left-handed Tanne- hill for the visitors. Gettman made a great try for Davis’ fly in the sixth, and everybody was hoping he would get under it, to see how the Texan weuld handle himself in such a tight place. Charley Reilly was quite severely injured éuring- the eighth inning. Wrigley played too far off second, and Sugden sent the ball to Padden to catch him napping. Seeing he couldn’t regain second, Wrigley started for third, and then Reilly started for home. Padder: left Wrigley, ran into the diamond and drove the ball home on a line, catching Reilly easily. The latter tried to slide, but in the mix-up at the home plate he landed on his head and was knocked out for a moment or two, Leahy taking his place at third in the last inning. The report today says that while Reilly has a big bump on his head, he will be able to play today. Notwithstanding the telegraph reports sent out from Pittsburg yesterday to the effect that Hawley and Killen had been re- instated, Manager-Captain Donovan says the two players will not join the club in Washington, and that he does not know upon what date they will get back into the game. If Gene DeMont continues the pace he has set around second base the local fans will quickly forget there ever was a man on second by the name of O’Brien. Gene covers about twice as much ground as the latter did, is quicker on his feet, a better thrower, and as a batter the two are not to be mentioned in the same breath. It is worth the price of admission to see DeMont go after files into short right field. It is about time now for the Boston pa- pers to return the compliment and charge the clubs with “lying down” to Baltimore. Think of the birds defeating the Reds five straights after dropping three straights in Cincinnati. Then the birds have six easy games this week, and if they win them ail a “throw down” cry will likely come from Boston. It would be just as senseless as the one uttered by the Baltimore press re- cently. A report was circulated yesterday that Delehanty was to be traded for “Cupid” Childs of the Clevelands. if this deal goes througt the Quaker people would have “far and away” the best of it, as Childs would easily overmatch the hole created in left field. It is dollars to pennies that Tebeau will refuse to make the trade. The Orioles are slowly but surely pushing ahead and away from the Bostons. Yester- day's tie game at Boston and the Orioles’ win place two games between the leaders and “Scrappy” Joyce's gang is not a mile way. The Louisville club has released Catcher Butler and traded Infielder Johnson to the terson club for Second |. Hit by out—By Klobe- Umpire—Lyneh. Peace. The injunction is limited, so that its operation is to cease September 2. After Springfield had batted in’eight runs in the second inning of yesterday's game with Toronto at Springtield Manager Irwin put Catcher Snyder in to pitch, and the ome team added two runs, making the score 11 to 2. In the last half of the third Korwan deliberately threw the game away by tessing tke balls over the plate. Four hits and three pisses to first scored six runs. Mains was then substituted, but the visitors simply staughtered him and won out easily, while Norton pitched the home team to a stardstill. Tie final score was 5 to 11. The case of Pitcher Carsey is a rather peculiar one. Several days ago Carsey Joined the Si. Louis team at Philadelphia and pitched a game for the Browns. After the game he again deserted the team and leftfor his home. Von der Ahe at once suspended him and fined him $300; then it seems that Von der Ahe received a letter from Carsey saying that he would joi the team in Baltimore. Chris must have got warm under the collar, for he wired Treas- urer Mulcahy that he would inflict a fine of another $300 on Carsey and again sus- pend him. It is said Carsey will take his case to court. 5 - It Is an 9ld practice trick of Tenhey’s to take widely thrown balls on his mitt alone, but he seldom attempts it ina game. Mon- day, however, on a lightning throw by Leng off O'Connor in the third, ‘Tenney reached away off his bag, holding the ball in his right hand with bis arm at full reach, completing the festest infield play of the afternoon. He Gid the same thing in the sever th on Collins’ assist off Burkett. Hank O'Day relented avout that fine he put on Dummie Hoy at Baltimore. Who- ever heard of a deaf and dumb man being fined before for kicking? Perhaps Hank thought how ridiculous such a fine would make him appear and did nct send it in. While there Las been a great deal said and written of rowdy ball this season, the tact of the matter is that only three teams in the league have played that kind of bail. All the rows and kicks have come in games where the New Yorks, Clevelands and Bal- timores have been one of the contesting teams. Nine of the league tams are trying to play legitimate base ball, while three, the Orioles, Spiders and Giants, have pros- pered by the bulldozing and rowdy meth- ods. All the league will have to do is to maake these three play ball on the line of the others, and there will be no grounds for complaint. Boston has held its high Place all season by the legitimate route. They have not scared umpires into giving them the best of it. Charhe Miller and Harry Vaughn of the Cincinnatis were notified yesterday by President Young to pay a fine of $25 each inflicted by Umpire O'Day last Friday. Hoy and Irwin, who were fined $10 each on the same day, received no notification to pay their fines. Both Miller and Vaughn have notified Manager Bancroft to write Treasurer Lloyd, instructing him not to pay the fine. Miller and Vaughn say that they will quit playing rather than pay the fine, which was most unjust. The rules allow a player six days’ grace in which to pay his fine after he is notified by the president of the league. If Miller and Vaughn remain obdurate they will be sus- pended after the New York series. SMITH AND DIXON TO FIGHT.

Over thirty Sisters of Charity left the city yesterday to enjoy a day’s rest ahd recrea- tion at their new summer home at Ber- wyn, Md. They came from Providence Hospital, St. Rose Industrial School, St. Ann’s Infant Asylum, St. Vincent’s Asylum and the Immaculate Conception School. Rev. Father Lennon, the father director of the order of the Sisters of Charity in the United States, came over from Emmits: burg, Md., to inspect the property, and be- fore leaving he named the place ‘Mount St. Joseph.” All were pleased with their new quarters, and many expressions of gratitude were heard from the si the generous manner in which the c of Washington had responded to the ap- peal of the St. Joseph's Union for aid in the effort to make the home comfortable. The bazaar recently held to raise funds for the purpose of making alterations to the building, so as to be able to accommo- date all the little ones of St. Ann’s Asylum, was a decided success financially, and the sum realized will go a long way toward paying fer the improvements and for the little beds needed. Sisters Beatrice-of Providence Hospital, Clara of St. Rose's, Mathilda of St. Vin- cent’s, Collette of the Immaculate Concep- tion paid their first visit yesterday, ard greatly enjoyed their outing, declaring the home to be indeed a “haven of rest.” The fifty little ones of St. Ann's, who romped about the place, are brown as berries, and none wish to return to their city home. The St. Joseph's Union and the generous-hearted citizens who aided in, get- ting for these little fatherless ones this magnificent property. deserve the greatest praise. Cash donations toward paying the debt were received from Mrs. Jos. Walt- meyer, Helen W. Meyer, J. Hart, Eliza Harvey, B. Reardon, R. I. Fleming, Chas. Ford, P. J. Dieudonne, R. E.

THE CUBAN EXCURSION, Large Crowds Listen to dresses at Mars! The fund in aid of the Cuban hospitals was substantiaily increased by the excur- sion given to Marshall Hall yesterday, under the joint auspices of the Woman's National Cuban League and the National Cuban League. The steamer Macalester, with the Cuban flag floating from her masthead, aad the stars and stripes draped over ner stern, carried a large crowd on each of her trips, and the day was spent by the excursionists in the enjoyment of the many amusements which the resort affords. A pleasing incident of the day was the reception of the excursionists on the after- noon boat by a number of little Sunday school children from Fort Washington. At night there was an enthusiastic meeting held in the north pavilion, which was tastefully decorated with Cuban and Ameri- can flags. Col. B. F. Clayton presided, and intro- duced ex-Representative S. S$. Yoder of Ohio, who made an interesting address. After reciting the history of the struggles of the Cubans to secure freedom, and of the unparalleled crucities practiced by the Spaniards, he gave his attention to the case of the poor girl, Senorita Evangelina Cossio Cisneros, the daughter of a murdered Cuban patriot, who is now in a Spanish dungeon with her own fate trembling in the balance, and attacked Minister De Lome for the infamy he had sought to cast upon the girl's fair name. Other addresses were made by ex-Repre- sentative Charles H. Turner of New York; Mrs. Clara Bell Bragyn, the director general of the Woman's National League, and Mrs. M. D. Lincola, the vice director general. A resolution of thanks to the Marshall Hall Steamboat Company was adopted.
