M4 -sl Washington.” 7 22 20 The Washington team at Pittsburg yes- terday played its twelfth game since its departure from home and scored its third victory on the trip, making an average so far of .200. It was a heavy hitting con- test yesterday, the visitors slightly out- batting the home team, and winning rather easily. Mercér pitched for the Senators and kept the twelve hits secured off him 8o well scattered as to prevent more than a run or two being scored in any inning. For the Pirates, three twirlers officiated. Gardner started in for them, but was knocked out of the box before the first in- ning closed, Tannehill replacing him dur- ing the rest of the inning. Leever, drafted from tke Richmond club of the Atlantic league, went on the rubber for the home People in the second inning, remaining the rest of the game. Ten hits were secured off him during the eight innings he officiat- ed, seven runs being meantime scored by the Washington aggregation. Doyle being cenfined to the hotel by a bad cold, Mc- Guire again played first, “Old Reliable” playing it faultlessly, besides leading his team in batting. Six errors were made by the visitors, of which Wrigley made three, Reitz two and Gettman one. Every man on the visiting club secured one or more safeties but Far- rell and Mercer. But three passes were given during the game, Gardner, Leever and Mercer each giving one. Leever struck out two men and Mercer one, each hitting a man. The Senators started the game by scor- ing five runs. Gettman singled to center, Selbach sent one to Ely at short on which the Russian should easily have been shut eff second. Eagan, however, dropped the ball, and both men were safe. McGuire moved them along a base by sacrificing, and Anderson sent them both home by a triple to deep center. Farrell was passed to first, going home when little Wagner mmed the ball against the center field fence for three base nnehill then re- lieved Gardner, while Leever was being warmed up, when Reitz singled to center and sent Wagner home. The Pirates scored one run in the first, Eagan’s three-bagger to deep right and ‘arthy’s one for two bases to center. Each team got one in the next inning. Mercer received a pass, but was forced by ttman, the latter stealing second and scoring on Selbach’s Ely and Se! by Wrigle hitting Leever. by a hot one p two-bagger to left. hriver’s grounders were fumbled and Mercer filled the bases by Ely home Donovan sent run in the third to center after two men had be going to third on Wrigley’s sir the right foul line and scoring while Wrigley was be- ing run down between first and second. Davis sent one to the* bulletin board in right field for two bases, registering a run on Brodie’s single to center. The visitors failed to score in the fourth inning, but the home people got two runs. Wrigley’s wild throw on Eagan’s grounder gave the runner pnd, and on Donovan's beat of it he went to third. Patsy stole Eagan going ho o Farrell's y to Reitz. returned ti bali to the bac Donovan go! ird and home on G: single to rig ither side scored in unui the sev- inning, when the Senators got and the Pirates one. Gettman sent one over second for a base, went to third on Selbach’s safe one in right and home on MeGuire's single past short, Seibach scor- ing on MeCarthy’s wild return of the bail. Anderson's single té right sent MeGuire to second, he going home on Wagner's two- bagger to left. Anderson scored on Reitz’s fly to Brodie. For the Pirates McCarthy singled to right, reaching second on Reitz’s fumble of Davis’ grounder and _ scoring when Gettman muifed Ely's fly. The last run of the game was scored in the eighth inning, Eagan’s second three-bagger being responsible therefor. McGuire wiil cover first again today and Weyhing will probably pitch.

At the word firing begins, and in one minute thirty-six shrapnel are hurled at the advancing foe. They burst 200 yards in front of the enemy, scattering 10,800 messengers of death among them. In the same minute the two Gatlings de- liver 2,000 shots, and the 7,000 rifles dis- charge 14,000 projectiles.

It will not be possible to remove them from the fighting line during the conflict, because the hos- pital bearers attempting the task would be killed. The best that can be hoped is to attend to them within the next twenty- four hours.

He carries at his belt what 1s called a “first aid packet,” containing a roll of bandages, an antiseptic compress and antiseptic gauze, inclosed in a sealea rubber casing. If he suffers from a bullet wound, he stuffs a pug of the gauze into the hole and applies a bandage. This may save his life and give the surgeon a chance when there is an opportunity for treatment. EE SMOKELESS POWDER. Base Ball Notes. Jack Doyle is reported ill in bed tn Pitts- burg, but will probably be all right in a day or two. -Pitchers Dinneen and Dono- van and Outflelder McHale left Pittsburg for home yesterday. A good spell of hot weather will put’ Dinneen in first-class fettle. Gus Weyhing will probably pitch today for the Senators, while Rhines will be on the slab for the smoky city boys. A close game should result. Outfielder Pickering, who was released by Louisvilie and signed by Cleveland last season, has been farmed out to the Omaha club of the Western League. Umpire Lynch gave it out at Chicago yesterday that he would positively make charges before the Brush arbitration board against Pitcher Clark Griffith. Umpire Cushman is also likely to bring Mike Grady up before the board. Jimmy Donnelly, the third baseman se- cured by the St.’ Louis club from New York, has been released to the Rochester club of the Eastern League. Manager Hanlon is thinking seriously of giving Al. Maul another trial when the Orioles arrive home. ‘This little bit of news would indicate that Pitcher Joe Corbett is wanted badly. ‘that new man, Anderson, who is play- ing center field for-the Senators, seems to be all right.

Smokeless powder is so called because when exploded it produces no smoke. As @ matter of fact, however, a light, thin, transparent vapor is usually seen, but it quickly disappears. Smokeless powders, from the nature of the ingredients employ- ed in making them, leave no residue when exploded, the products of the combustion being gaseous, whereas in ordinary gun- powders, whether black or brown, the pro- ducts are partly gaseous and partly solid, the solid parts being visible in the deposits left in the bore of the gun, in the bits of fire blown out of the muzzle at the time of discharge and in the thick, heavy smoke that hangs about, obs:uring the view.
