Tenny had it three-two, and Weyhing placed what the visitors declared was a strike across the plate, but Lynch did not so see it. The only run made by the visitors was secured in the fifth inning. Weyhing, the first to bat, singled to right, went to sec- ond on a passed bail, scoring on Selbach’s dcuble to right, which bounded past Stahl. ‘The Senators should at least have tied the score in this inning, but Gettman poped a little fly to Lowe, and wimie Anderson got a pass, he was forced by McGuire's hit to Stivetts, Reitz being thrown out at first by Collins.

George Cuppy of the Cleveland base ball team will go to his home in Logansport, ind, July 1, to remain until his arm 1s again in pitching trim, unless it should in the meantime be whipped into shape by the massage treatment to which it is being subjected. Cuppy has been notified by the officiais of the clut. that he will be expect- ed to be in condition to pitch by Juiy 1, otherwis2 he will be laid off without pay until he can go again into the box. At Wednesday's game between Mansfield and Springfield Umpire Warner called Catcher Bett of Manstield out on strikes and the latter retaliated by throwing a bat at him. Belt was put out of the game, and after the players returned to the ho- tel Belt struck the umpire with his mask. ‘They were separated, but later in the even- ing the two met and renewed the quarrel. It is said Warner invited the catcher *o his room, locked the door and then admin- istered a pronounced beating, in which he landed many a safe hit. Belt did not play yesterday, and Law took his place. “I see that Heiney Peltz declares that Beckley didn't touch Joyce at first the other day, when “Scrappy” threw the ball at him,” said Manager Tebeau yesterday. “I am not finding excuses for Joyce's ac- tion, but Beckley has injured more men on the diamond than any other three players. When he was in Pittsburg the Cincinnati papers continually referred to him as the ‘spiking artist.’ He put me out of the game for three months in 181, and the same injury has kept me on the bench from two to six weeks a season ever since. Oh, no, Jake didn’t touch Joyce!” The Colonels want Bug Holliday, more likely to cover right. Manager Ewing was approached yesterday and asked to put a price on the outfielder, which he did, but it didn’t suit the purse of the Kentuckians and there has been no deal. “We can very well afford to let a fielder go,” said Man- ager Ewing last night, “but we can’t en- tertain what the Louisville club wants to pay for him. No, I don't think there is much chance of Holliday going to Louis- ville unless there should be a material ad- vance in the price offered. A dispatch from New York says that a deal may be made involving a general ex- change of players between Baltimore, Phil- adelphia and New York. Just how such a three-cornered deal would be made fs en- tirely speculative. Although Mr. Hanlon has declared that he would stand “pat” on ‘his present team, a deal would not be sur- prising. The wretched attendance at re- cent games in Baltimore, in spite of the fact that the Baltimore club {s in the run- ning for leadership, may lead to many de- velopments, 43 the salary list and expenses of the club are so great that non-support puts the retention of players beyond the sentimental stage. Large salaries and many of them, must be paid, and a contin- ual loss cannot be withstood without the danger of some of the star players figur- ing in a deal. Major Hanham's Success. Major J. M. Hanham of the Manhattan Chess Club of New York last night played twelve members of the Washington Chess, Checker and Whist Club at 614 12th street. He won seven of the games, lost five, and drew one. The extra game was played by A. L. Salstein, who lost both times. The playera who won their games were Messrs. J. W. Harris of Alexandria, F. B. Walker, champion of the District; J. P. Walker, Patrick O'Farrell and F. 8. Davidson. Mr. q. F. Adair drew the game in which he participated, while the fol!owing players lost: Messrs, Wiliam Finn, R. 8. Davis, William Tucker, Dr. F. H.

EFFECT OF PAY DAY ON THE MEN Some of the Points of Interest | About Tampa. —— 4 BOYS’ ARE COMFORTABLE Special From a Staff Correspondent. TAMPA, Fla., June 14, 1898. An impressitn seems to prevail in the camp of the Ist Regiment of Infantry, Dis- trict of Columbia Volunteers, that rain fell Sunday evening. Folks in Washington do not consider an ordinary rainfall as of un- usual moment. It is different here, espe- cially ag everything in the nature of de- scending moisture may be classed us extra- ordinary, and will continue so until a little later on, when the rainy season is inaugu- rated. Prior to Sunday evening there had been no sign of rain in the neighborhood of Tampa, with the exception of a meek at- tempt at a shower a few days before, for fully three months. At least, that is the deciaration advanced by the natives, and no good reason exists for doubting their word. But those of the regiment who were in camp Sunday evening feel quite sure that rain fell. In reality, it poured, the clouds apparently making a conscientious endeavor to square themselves in two brief hours for the inactivity of the past quarter year. A Rain Storm ‘That Meant Business. In cennection with the storm, the point of chief interest is that at the time the regions above grew lachrymose the enlisted men of the regiment were quartered in shelter tents. Shelter tents are diminutive A tents. They are open in frent and on the march eagh man carries one-half a tent. In case of heavy rain provision should be made for changing the name of these small canvas affairs, for they afford absolutely no shelter. Therefore, the situation Sun- day evening was not ‘only uncomfortable, but serious. The water feil in a volume too great to be readily apsorbed by the sand. reeling particulariy lively, it tried to immi- tate the Johnstown flood, and met with con- siderable success. It swept along the com- pany streets, carrying everything—clothing, toilet articies and mascots—before it: Some of the officers saved their few possessions from a drenching -by ‘etevating them on boxes and ropes. Captain Charles Sumner Davis Domer, he who has gained notoriety by making up as a familiar advertisement, and who orders merci andise sent to him “by mail, collect,” during the heaviest por- tion of the downpour heroically stood 2 the open, and witn bare hands dug a trench around his tent. Captain Domer thus pro- tected from the elements many specimens of photographic femininity, to say nothing of several boxes of geéd things sent from home. A medal ef honor awaits him: at least the feeiing here is that he should be rewarded in some such mahaer. When the rainfall ceased, sleep was out of the question. By dint of repeated efforts nd the use of kerosene fires were lighted and coffee boiled. ‘the men hugged the fires all night. At daybreak the camp pre- sented a woefully dismantted appearance, but the sun put n Fight in short or- The rain pa the gen- tuation is much more pleasant today.

Major Pyles retired and was~just passing into had -been struck by lightning. His condition Was stated to be critical. Major Pyles, who accompanied the corporal, was soaked to the skin. He found at a distant post a idier who had been momentarily par- alyzed by fright—nothing more—by an un usually brilliant flash of ratural eleetricity. Large tents Monday took the place of the shelter habitations, and never did men labor more willingly than did those of the District regiment in substituting one can- vas structure for another. Big Luck for Tampa. The concentration of thousands of regu- lar and volunteer troops at Tampa has proved a veritable Godsend to the little city in the sand. With thousands of troops came many more thousands of dollars. In addition the ma- Jority of the regiments have been paid since their arrival. Soldiers, it may be safely stated, are more generous as spend- ers, in proportion to their incomes, than py other class of wdgé-earners. Tampa has reaped all the benefits growing out of this condition of things. Franklin street, ithe principal business thoroughfare, pre- sents a scene of the greatest activity from early morning until late at night. The sol- diers are in complete possession of the sidewalk. A hearty welcome is accorded them, possibly because they have volun- teered to uphold the stars and stripes against all enemies, foreign or domestic, and particularly the kingdom of Spain. The probability is, though, that their money is the open sesame. Everything imaginable ly growing on genuine orange trees.

Florida, so far as we can see, differs at this time but slight- vegetation, with the possible exception of mammoth cak trees, adorned with hanging moss. As was to be logically expected, with the erection of wall tents and the ‘establish- ment of the camp on a thoroughly comfort- able basis, comes the statement, practically official, that the regiment is to be moved to Tampa Heights, five or six miles distant. ‘The only reason that can be assigned for the grounds are to be found on the heights, while the opposite is the case here on the shore near the bay.

The orportunity to coin money in such propor- ticas as it is being harvested now will prob- ably never again be presented to this pen- insula. It is needless to say that the ‘Tampans are thoroughly alive to the situ- ation. ‘he men of the District of Columbia regi- | ¥¢ ment were given ampie opportunity to cn- joy themselves after receiving their pay | % for May last week. Orders from headquar- € ters directed that companies might be per- mitted to visit Tampa by platoons, each in charge of a commissioned officer. ‘The sol- | 3 diers returned loaded with bundles and with fuli stomachs. Some of them did not come back to camp, however, until gath- ered in by the provost guard during the night. The regular guard of necessity had to be increased in numbers in order to prop- $ erly wateh over the crowded guard tents, in $ addition-to its other duties.

Those members of the regiment. who attended the interstate drill last July at San Antonio, Tex., are impressed with its striking gen- € eral resemblance to that community, | § fraught with memories of the Alamo. But the cowboys, Mexicans, and half-breeds, characteristic of the lone star state, are missing from the throngs: here. Tampa, in the first place, is sandy. It has one ‘street railway, ap electric: trolley line. The cars transport passengers to |° Tampa Heights, Palmette Beach and Ybor City—the latter designated. by the soldiers “Hobo City.” All these psaces are inter- esting to a certain, or rather, uncertain, ex- tent.
