The vestry of the Rock Creek Protestant Episcopal Church will, it is expected, meet Saturday next, .at which time, it is be- lieved, steps will be taken to fill the va- cancy caused by the death of the late rec- tor, Rev. Dr. Buck. Rev. Mr. Barr, assistant rector, is in charge of the parish at present. Soon after the death of Dr. Buck a petition, which was largely signed by the members of the church, was sent to the vestry, asking that they call Rev. E. M. Mett, rector of the Church of the Advent in this city, to the head of the parish, but no action ‘nas yet been taken either on that or a supplemen- tal petition from the residents of the vi- cinity of the Rock Creek Church, asking the appointment of Mr. Mott. In reply _to a request from both the ves- try and Rev. Mr. Barr, Mr. Mott will preach at the church Sunday next, and it is believed the call of the latter wiil follow fn due time, though as yet the members of the vestry have expressed no opinion on the subject. ——— Philadelphia and Return via B. and 0.

The Philadelphia Press publishes the fol- lowing account of yesterday’s Washing- ton-Philadelphia game: Philadelphia’s~errors and failure to hit Mercer's curves safely were the principal factors in their defeat by Washington yesterday. Both teams played wretchedly in the field, and all the efforts of the fwirl- ers failed to keep runners from scoring. Becker, the Phillies’ new lefthander, was given his National League baptism in a full nine-inning game, and he did well. Only eight hits, were made off his delivery, these being scattered through six different innings, and he only gave four bases on balls. He showed an unusual amount of caolness, and, with proper support, only one run would have been credited to the Senators. Twice Boyle threw to center- field in trying to catch runners, these mis- takes, with a fumble by Nash, costing two runs, and Cooley presented them with an- other by a glaring fumble. But in a field- ing sense it was a case of horse and horse, for all of the Phillies’ runs were mainly contributed by the visitors’ bad plays. Mercer, however, was the more effective of the pitchers, only five hits being secured off him, and two of these were made with "two out. Nash’s work at third was of the star order, and Reilly, Wrigley and Shu- gart each contributed a piece of pretty fielding to enliven the proceedings. After blanking the Senators the home team scored twice. De Montreville muffed Cooley’s fly and the latter stole second. Dowd walked to first and each moved up on a wild throw by Mercer. Delahanty brought in the runners with a single. Each Scored in the second. Two were out for Washington when Leahy singled, reached third on Boyle's wild throw to catch him stealing second, and scored on Nash’s fumble on Reilly. Nash started for Philadelphia with four balls, took second on Boyle's sacrifice, took third on Mercer’s wild throw, and came home on Cooley’s single. The visitors tied the score in the third. Wrigley hit to right and kept on to thfrd, as Cooley fumbled the ball. Selbach’s single scored Wrigley. Gettman received four balls and a double steal was followed by De Montreville’s fly to Delahanty, which let Selbach in. Doubles by De Montreville and McGuire, with two out, in thé fifth, earned the only run of the contest. The Senators tallied the winning run in the eighth. Leahy walked and was forced at second by Rellly. Boyle overthrew sec- ond to catch Reilly stealing the base, and the latter kept on to third and scored on Wrigley’s fly to Delahanty. Philadelphia also scored on Wrigley’s fumble on Lajoie, which netted the latter two bases, and Shugart’s single. First base was the near- est they came to winning in the ninth.

Swaim will pitch for the Senators and Dunkle for the Quakers. ‘The game scheduled for the St. Louis and Louisville clubs at St. Louis yesterday was prevented by rain. i Wrigley got his errors yesterday in a buach of three, but he batted well, and the Senators won. Zeke makes errors, as he goes for everything, and is not a “‘soldier- ing” player. é ‘Treasurer Ballouf and, Assistant Manager Fisher of the Lyceum Theater are great admirers of the Raltimtore club, and will pilot quite a large delegation to the oyster city for the opening -game between the Bostons and Orioles. The Brooklyn victory made the pair happy yesterday. The Cincinnati club, when last_here, made a big money ‘offer for Left Fielder Selbach, but Mr. Wagner was very decided in his refusal to negotiate. The Cincinnati papers continue tHéir harping on Sclbach, and the club will na doybt make additional efforts to secure our German Senator. If Cincinnati will give up Charley irwin,a deal might be pulled o The Louisville -management displayed good judgment when ft’secured First Base- man Stafford and Short Stop Lewee of the Milwaukee club. The consideration is placed at $1,400. All ‘the players in the Western League have. been tipping oft Stafford for the past ‘two sedsons, and Le- wee has been wing sensational ball all season. The deal will probably freeze out Perry Werden. Over confidence apparently lost the first game at Boston yesterday, the Beaneaters concluding that the-Bridegrooms were easy and took Herman Long out of the game. Bob Allen is a great substitute. but he is far from being Long’s equal. Long played in the second game and the contest was a procession. Nichols has suffered before from weaker clubs, the top-notchers gen- erally being his victims. The Baltimores shouldn't imagine for a minute that Nichols has gone backward. He will be with tnem before the season closes. The Philadelphia club is not nearly through drafting new players. Yest»rday Manager Stallings put in a claim for Cen- ter Fielder McVey, R. Schaub, third base- man, and Pitcher Ames of the Athletic club of the Atlantic League. These men are all good fielders, but weak hitters. Geter, the Washington boy who has been playing with the Phillies this season, is slated for second base of the Montreal team next season. Geier will play great ball in the Eastern League, but seems too erratic for the major organization. Algie McBride, another Washington boy, seems to be in great demand this fall, several clubs having started the Lidding already for his services. Cincinnati, Louis- ville, St. Louis and Pittsburg have al- ready made offers, but no decision has been arrived at. It was understood last spring that the Chicago club had first claim cn McBride's services. Several friends of Norcum, the local teft- handed pitcher, have been after Mr. Wag- ner to give him a trial, especially as the Senators are in need of a good southpaw twirler. Mr. Wagner has been watching Norcum for some time and knows exactly what he can do, but hesitates on account of the pitcher being a Washington boy.” Playing at home generally turns cut badiy for the player. ‘The last seven games played by the Sena- tors were won by one run as follows: Sep- tember 21, Washington, 5, Philadelphia,4. September 20, Washington, 1, Philadelphia, 2. September 18, Washington, 10, Brook- lyn, 9. September Washington, 4, Brooklyn, 5. September 16, Washington, 4, Brooklyn, 5. September 14, Washington, 10, Cincinnati, 9. September 13, Washington, 1, Cincinnati, 2. The “Southern Grasshopper” is the best that Clevelanders can do in the way of a nickname for Oliver Pickering. “Our pitchers put us in the race and Bob Allen kept us there,” is the handsome com- pliment Capt.

BALTIMORE, September 22.—A two days season at cricket was besun here this morning on the grounds of the Catcnsville Country Club, six miles from the city, be- tween Mr. Warner's team of Englishmer, who did such brilliant work at Philadelphia last week, and a team selected from among the best players in Baltimore. The Eng- lishmen gave the Bultimoreans the advan- tage of sixteen men against twelve by way of handicapping themselves. The icams were made up as fcllows S England—Pelham F.

Mike Grady was next taken to task. He is charged with emptying several breweries in Boston and Pittsburg, and in- cldentally putting a waiter out in the for- mer city. These escapades will result in “Michael Angelo” being docked $100, Dan Lally was the next offender. He is charged with coming on the bail field, in Brooklyn, in any other than a proper way for a play- er, and as # was his second offense Judge Von der Ahe ordered him fined $200 and further punishment is left to the board of directors of tne club. According to Mr. Von der Ahe, Lally got gay when he first joined the clu’ and was fined. As he prom- ised never to do it again the fine was re- mitted. This ume, however, Dan has been given the limit, and it will stand, Western League Percentages. The standing of the clubs of the Western Base Ball League for the season, which closed yesterday, has not been officially an- nounced as yet, but it is said it has been figured out as follows: , ae bridge; J.

It touk three heats to decide the race, Bald winning the first heat by an open length in handy style in 231. Cooper had the pacemaker’s wheel in sec- ond heat, and when the pacer dropped out at the last quarter Cooper made a sudden jump and led into the streteh by ten yards. Gardiner and Bald went after him with a rush, but were a length back when the tape. was crossed, Gardiner getting cond place by a wheel. The time was In the third heat Cooper, Bald and Gardi- ner followed the pacemaker in the order named and tvok a slow sail around to the last quarter. Gardiner made a great jump for a steal, but Cooper was ready for him and followed close after him into the stretch, leaving Bald hopelessly behind Fifty yards from the finish Cooper passed Gardiner with a great burst of speed and won by a length. Baid rode the last twen- ty-five yards sitting up. ‘Time, 2.36 1-5. Croquet Tournament Likely to Close Saturday Evening.
