For the first time in ten games last play- a victory yesterday rested with the Sena- tcrs. Their opponents were the leaders in the league race, the men from Cincinnati, and, as many had predicted, the local men played better ball against them than they have put up since they started on their ney down the slide. They also exhib- sterday life and dash, two requisites successful ball playing noticeably lack- irg in their work recently. Then, too, Mi cer pitched with fine judgment, “mixing it from start to finish in such a manner as to keep the nine hits, save in the third inning, well scattered. He received from the men back of him perfect support, Reitz and Wrigley, together with Wagner and Fields, making a veritable stone wall. The outfielders had comparatively little but they did that little particularly elbach making one of his famous catches In the eighth when Beckley sailing into left, the Baron tum- three to do bling backward as he caught the ball, but never releasing his hold of it. Fields’ also made a fine play by taking a foul fly on a run which wound up with a plunge into rand stand fence. nl men wer not the only ones to put up a fine game, for in the first in- ning Miller, by making jump, rob- bed Fields ef a drive which would oth av> landed in the right field bleach- ers and would have meant three mor runs ators. MeBride also n 2 teh in the eighth inning by re ing Setbach’s long fly to left c The Senators not only good bail in the field, but they also gave a line exhibition of batting, Selbach and Merc: h mak- ing two safe bunts. Wrigley got in a three bagger and McGuire placed a double a single to his credit. Mercer, however, led his team in hitting, having three singles. Smith led his men, having a double and two singles. Wrigley w t his very best in the fleld, catching McBride in the third on what appeared to be a safe one after having made a similar play off Dwyer in the preceding inning. Both pitchers were very r though Mercer gave four passes. Dw but one, and Mercer struck out the y man in the game, McPhee. The Sena- off with one run he first the Reds did not score until they sent one man across had a great chance to the third, when, with Smith on ond and Corcoran on first, Beckley si gled to left. Smith was caught at the p! on Selbach’s fine throw. Beckley reached second on the play, and while he was playing quite a distance from the bag McGuire shot the bal! down to Reitz, who snapped the ball back in time to nip Cor- coran at the plate. rst inning Selbach bunted safely ached third when Peitz’s throw to catch him at second went put to center. Anderson's fly to Miller sent him home. The Senators next scored in the fourth, when Wrigley hit to right center for three bases and went in on Mercer's infield hit. Their third and last run was scored in the fol- lowing inning. After Anderson had walked McGuire hit down the left field line for two base Anderson easily scored, but Mc- Guire wa it a triple. put out in an endeavor to make In their haif of the first inning Smith was given a pe fter McBride had been retired.

Mercer did well, Cincinnati again today, two games. Every club in the league has a double header today. Did you notice McGuire nailing the run- ners at the home te? Yesterday's specimen of ball playing by the Senators would have won the last dezen of games, and landed us at the top of the second division. ‘ ‘That great infleld of Cincinnati didn’t werk sc well yesterday. Beckley loafed on Baltimore Cleveland 903010 voooroo Gettman and the bey from Russia didn’t do a thing but beat out the hit. Elmer Smith is something of a sticker this season. Last season his work with Pittsburg was poor. but his surroundings at Cincinnati are different and a true line on Elmer's ability, is easily seen. Two sin- gles and a double made up his récord against Mercer yesterday. McGuire, Wrigley and Reitz were mixed up in plays yesterday ihat were extremely brilliant. In two instances a runner on first tried for second to pull a throw down to let the runner on third go home, and beth times perfect play nailed the man trying for the home plate. Al Selbach’s catch of Beckley's fly evi- dently stopped a rally at the bat by the Cincinnati that might have landed a victory. Sel. captured the ball while run- ning backwards and went down in a heap, but held the ball and the crowd yelled approval. The weather yesterday at National Park was of the Cuban midday sort, and Mercer felt the effects of it around the seventh inning. Dinneen was warmed up, but Winnie ‘“‘came again,” listic circles, and finished out the game in fine style. The fast work of Mercer in pulling off three safe bunts no doubt had considerable to do with his momentary collapse. “Sailor Boy” Wrigley was all right yes- terday, and was a big factor in the game. He smothered everything that came_hi: way, several chances being extremely di cult, and his capture of them bordered on the sensational. At the bat he only made one safe hit, but it was a corker to right center, and went to “Uncle Nick” as a triple. The make-up of the Louisvilles in yes- y's game appears to be about the est that can be made out of that aggre- gation. and Manager Clarke would do well to let it stand. Davis on first, Richie at second, Clingman at short and Wagner at third look strong. Clingman had twelve chances yesterday and coppered them all. Tommy Tucker played his first game with the St. Louis Browns yesterday at Boston. As usual, Tom took care of first base in faultl style and hammered out a triple. But, of course, Tucker can't defeat the Beaneaters alone. “Link” Lowe, Boston’s second baseman, is simply outdoing his former great work of seasons past. He has played the last thirty-two games, and the chances offered are up in the hundreds, without an error of any sort. There is nothing of the record playing in Lowe's make-up, and his work for this reason stands out as a startling record. The Cincinnatis are anxious to see more of Umpires Gaffney and Brown in the near future. Gaffney, they say, is as good as ever he was, while Brown handles himself as well as any of the assistant umpires, and better than the majority of them. Danny Friend, the pitcher for the Co- lumbus base ball club, was fined $1) in the police court yesterday for his assault upon Secretary Hugh Grady of the club. The evidence showed that it was entirely un- provoked. Friend was also given a ten- days’ work house sentence, which was re- mitted, as he is needed with the team. Captain Ewing yesterday announe new policy.

Pitcher Murphy, who was farmed out by Philadelphia to Hartford In the Atlantic League, returned to that city yesterday morning with the story of the disbanding of the Hartford team. Murphy, who pitched but one or two losing games with the Hartfords, will be kept by Philadel- for awhile at least, to be used in an emergency. A battery of. rphy and Murphy would be quite a nevelty, and is a po: hila- delphia team now. With the possible exception of Hill, the Cincinnati pitchers are in good shape. Cap- tain Ewing says that Hawley will not be used in Washington except in case of emergency. Dwyer expected to two games against the Senatoi One the southpaws will be saved for Saturd game in Pittsburg. Shortstop Sullivan of the Wilkesbarre club was sold yesterday to St. Loui: says barre dispatch. That would seem to indicate that Quinn is not giving entire satisfaction at short field. Manager Han- lon, who last year admired Quinn's field- ing very much, predicted early this season that Quinn's work would not be as fast and clean-cut this year. The astute Balti- more manager, it Seems now s right. Detroit has signed Pitcher Beam 07 the Mansfield club of the Interstate League. Beam was given a trial by Philadelphia in 1896, but was turned loose because the club had so much material on hand that he could not be used. He pitched good ball for Mansfield last season, and ranked as one of the winning pitchers this year. When the league reduced salaries Beam re- ibility in the pitch of belled. His release was purchased by De- troit. He is a big fellow, weighing about 185 pounds. PREMIER PITCHERS: How the Best Twirlers Have Fared So Far This Season.

He not only leads the Pittsburg pitchers, but also thoSe of the whole league in the percentage of games won.

The annual regatta of the National Asso- ciation of Amateur Oarsmen will be rowed on the Schuylkill river at Philadelphia to- morrow and Saturday. The entries are fewer than usual,and less interest seems to be taken in the affair than usual. ‘This is helleved to be due to the fact there have been a number of desertions from the asso- ciation by rowing clubs opposed to the de- velopment of centralized power in the or- ganization. Then, too, there is a feeling that the finest exhibitions of oarsmanship are afforded by the intercollegiate races, ‘and as these hive been rowed and the fast crews of the country have been determined there is little left for the national regatta to demonstrate. A meeting of the regatta committee was held last night, at which positions were drawn for in the various races. 4ne drawings number from east shore and are as follows: Intermediate singles, first heat—Malta B.

Special Dispateh to The Evening Star. CUMBERLAND, M4d., July 21.—General Joseph Sprigg of Cumberland, who has charge of the move to secure the test!- monial by the people of Maryland for Com- modore Schley, has named an executive committee of forty prominent Cumberland people, composed equally of ladies and gen- tlemen, to further the movement. General Sprigg thinks that $25,000 or $30,- 000 ought to be secured from the whole state without trouble, and that after the organization gets to work from $1,500 to $2,000 will be easily secured in Allegany and Garrett counties. It is proposed to hase or build an elegant country seat for Commodore Schley, where he will be invited to reside after he retires from the naval service. Commodore Schley will, of course, select the location. or Malster of Baltithore has written his hearty co-operation and it is likely that he will take charge of the movement in that city. General Felix Agnus, editor of the Baltimore American, informs General Sprigg that he will assist the movement in every possible way, and encouraging letters eceived from all over the state. Boyd Faulkner, sitting in the e of ex-United States Senator mden against W. S. Dewing nvolving from 17,000 to 000 acres able timber land in Greenbrier, Web- ster and Randolph counties, West Virginia, has ruled in favor of ex-Senator Camden. The land was conveyed to Hutton and Butcher by W. S. Dewing, and was claim- ed to be owned in fact by W. S. Dewing. The court held that all this land which was so conveyed, embracing the Caperton sur- vey, was in fact held by Hutton and Butcher in trust for J. N. Camden and his assoc Senator Stephen B.

The Chesapeake and Ohio canai’s trade has im- proved very much during the past few weeks, more boats t usual having cleared this port for Williamsport and Georgetown. The total tonnage of the canal to date is 97,01 a decr of 14,115.13 tons from last year.
