Brooklyn at Cincinnati. Boston at St. Louis. Philadelphia at Pittsburg. New York at Louisville, Today's Philadelphia Press says of the two defeats of the Senators yesterday: Gus Weyhing, a pitcher with a past and a former Philadelphian by adoption, and Bil- ly Donovan, a twirler with a future and a Quaker cityite by birth, met with reverses at Philadelphia yesterday. Both wear the Senatorial toga and they went down to hon- erable defeat. Their eight comrades tried hard to save the color bearers by hitting the ball hard, but Philadelphia simply wouldn’t have {t that way. Then,“too, the Senators, whose batting eyes were as sharp as so many eagles’, upset their work in this respect with errors that were unusual- ly costly. Both games were won in the same way, by the Phillies following up errors on the part of the visitors with hits. The Sena- tors lost because the home team’s misplay3 were fewer in number,.and Orth and Don- ahue would not permit safe drives at those stages. All told, the visitors sent the ball into safe territory nineteen times, and yet they could only get two runners home. In thirteen out of their sixteen turns at bat they managed to connect safely with the horsehide. When Orth was doing the toss- ing it was a case, usuaily, of the first man up getting a base on a hit and the next trio going out pretty much in order. With Donahue, ordinarily, two were out before any damage was done to his curves, and the result was the same—a cipher. While hoth games were well played, there was lit- ie out of the ordinary to comment upon. Gettman twice endangered his neck by tak- ing flies off the wall, Lauder pulled a red- hot liner out of the air, Donovan stopped a couple of grounders that might have broken his hand but for the glove on it and Cross the middle part of two double in great style. shortstops met with accidents.

Reitz is pretty near the finished article as a ball player. You can’t manage a ball team from the ticket office. Wrigley’s error was responsible for our four runs in the second game. Wrigley’s friends gave him a basket of flowers and he rapped out a single. We know managers are a little expen- sive, but don’t you think they are neces- sary? Donahue was hit hard enough to lose, but the Senators are a dizzy lot on the bases. Three of the six hits off Donovan were made after chances had been offered to re- tire the side. When Wrigley was hit in the fifth by Murphy's hot grounder his wife, who was in the grand stand, fainted. Ty Senators are a patchwork organtza- tion, like our own. Good, bad and indif- fere:.t players are on both teams. With Kinslow resurrected by Washington and Murphy doing business for Philadel- phia there is still a chance for “Sneak” Deasl-y. Nineteen hits for two runs is about a recore That is what Washington had yes- terdas Coo -y seemed to find Donovan's speed just wvhat he liked, for he hit the ball good and hard every time he faced the Manayunk lad. At several stages during the past series a sacrifice by McGuire would have sent in runs, but he ts too good a hitter to set the rest a proper examplé. Gettman is pretty near the right thing in right field. He made several catches got in their fine that would have been wonders in Sam Thompson's palmiest days. Donahue showed distinguished judgment in the fourth inning when he sent Gettman to first on a pass. There were two men on bases at the time and Gett made three. But Donovan then came up and hit just a little fellow at M. Lajoie, and a double play was in order. Seldom has a prettier double play been sprung upon an unsuspecting public than the one between Lajote, Cross and Doug- las in the fourth inning of the second game. There were three men on base and one out. A little hit wouldn’t berg cone a thing. aed double was rd one, too, an to be worked if! greased lightning. Louisville, 14; St. Louis, 1. ‘The Louisvilles continued their winning streak yesterday on their own grounds, de- feating the St. Louis by 14 to 1.

Senators are resting today. it? They need something. Nineteen hits and two runs in yesterday's double header, Are the Senators “pinch” hitter? Weyhing and Donovan outpitched Orth and Donohue, but the support and hitting back of the latter pair was quite different. Again Wrigley fell down and again the game was lost through his error. This player seems to be the most unfortunate: man in the business. He can make all manner, of sensational plays, but just let him permit an easy one to get away from him and it is bound to result in one or more runs. Pitcher Donovan seems to be rounding into form very fast. He gave but five bases on balls yesterday and held the siuggers cown te six safe hits. He fields his posi- tion with nerve and is a batcer above the pitcher average. Our pitching force is all right. It’s the other fellows. Tommy Corcoran is still suffering from the effects of Harry Steinfeldi’s Spanish shot last Sunday. When he remains quiet the feeling in his head does not differ from its usual condition, but as soon as he be- gins to stir the exertion brings on a sort cf dizziness. This he expects to disappear in a day or so. The second game in Pittsburg Tuesday was interrupted in a peculiar manner, and there is no rule covering the case, tn the third inning a bee tried to extract honey from Still Bill Hill's head, and for more than a minute Hill was kept busy trying to drive the annoying insect away from his face and roof. His wild efforts to get away and kill the bee with his cap were ludic- rous. Jesse Tannehill will not assist in winning games for Pittsburg for some days. Tan- nehill was awkward in alighting from a street car on Monday, and instead of land- ing on his feet, he struck somewhere in the vicinity of his left shoulder, dislocating the shoulder blade and causing him great pain. The injured arm was set and now is being carried in a sling. Tannehill will hardly be able tc-pitch until next week. For the first time this season the Cincin- natis had their colors lowered at Pittsburg Tuesday. After winning the frst game rather easily they lost the second by the close score of 3 to 2. In that game the Reds outbatted the Pirates and played an error- less game in the fleld, yet they were un- able to score as many runs a3 the home team.

Think of three clean singles being made in the ninth inn- ing and yet not a run scored. That's what happened Tuesday.

EXPERIME) Baitimore and Cleveland Clubs Will Play Before Neutral Speetators. A unique experiment in the base ball world will be tried at Philadelphia today when the Clevelands and Baltimores will begin a series of three games at Philadel- phia Park, the games being origiually scheduled for Cieveland. This playing of games in a league city by two outside clubs has never been dcne before, and its result is being watched by base ball enthusiasts all over the country. Cleveland has 1¢- ceived such poor support at home this sea- son that wholesale transfers have been r sorted to. The idea of playing the Balti- more series at Philadelphia was original with President Robison, and, although Manager Hanlon put forward good induce- ents, the Cleveland magnate could not be shaken, and it was. decided to go through with the eaperiment. Philadelphia is un- doubtedly the best base bail city jn the country, and the patrons of the club rep- resenting that clty for the past three sons have had to put up with a very poor sample of the national game. With the op- portunity presented to these enthusiasts of seeing two of the leading clubs uf the league playing together, with positions in the championship race depending upon the contests, there is hardly a doubt that a large attendance will be seen wt all three games. The Philadelphia club plays in Pitts- burg for the next three days, thus ail wing the open dates at Philadelphia Parx to be utilized, The games themselves will prove unusual- ly interesting and on form che Cleveland club should iand the series. ‘The ‘“Wauder- ing Hibernians” are playing exceptionally fine ball just now, and have t regular team in the field. With the Baltmores it is different. Their playing this season has been spasmodic—one day good and the next bad. Then, too, McGraw has been injured recently and Brodie, althougi getting back in the game today, is hardly fit to pla: The Clevelands are undoubtedly the strong- est y from home” players in the bv si- ness, and this, too, should weigh in their favor. But base ball is a welrd pastime to keep tab on, and it would just be in order for the Orioles to go down the line with three straight victories to their credit. PRE Cycling Public Did Not See Little Michael Race. The ten-mile match race between Jimmy Michael and A. C. Moran, which was ar- ranged for last evening at the cycle park track, was prevented by the rain. As the Welsh rider races in Baltimore this even- ing, a postponed event from Tuesday night, and as his pacemakers will have to be in Boston by Saturday noon for the McDuf- fle-Taylore match race, there will be no opportunity for the event being held to- morrow evening. Michael will not be able to visit this city again for at least three weeks. All the seats in the grand stand had been sold and the money will be refunded to the purchasers. A number of the local men, including all but ore or two of the Eclipse team, left this forenoon for Richmond, Va., where they will race today and tomorow. TEN. In spite of bad weather yesterday a good crowd of spectatcrs was present at Long- wood when the matches in the tennis cup tournament began. The Budlong-McPierce match was the center of interest after the first good tennis was seen. Budlong took the match-6—-4, 6-2, 6-1. The match between R. McKittrick and B. T. Cross was hot from the start. McKit- trick won, 2—6, 6—4, 6-4, 6-8. A. 8. Pier played C. V. Whitbeck. Both put up their best game.

SHIP AFIRE REACHES PorT, : re gon. c are : Consul General, Holloway. ai St. Peters- burg has forwarded to the State Depart- ment the followihg article in regard to the famine 17 Kussia: “The frequent fatlure of the cereal crop in the same localities in Russia cannot be accounted for on any other theory than that the soil is being impoverished. The famine of 1801, as well as the present one, was caused by impoverishment. How can ft be otherwise inva region which is over head and ears in debt, and has no means for encouraging rural industry? As is al- ready known, in the central Chernoziom re- gion all the forests have been cut down. ‘This has had unfavorable consequences for the farmers. Then, the changes In the tar- iff on grain and the low price of cereals, owing to the conditions of the international market, have destroyed the agriculture of that region. “Of course, a poor harvest has always sad results; but if a farmer has reserve supplies, a famine may not ensue. But when stich a harvest occurs in a region where the farmer has not enough to eat and is persecuted by all sorts of payments, when the grain just taken off the fleld is brought straight to the market and sold at a very low price in order to pay the taxes, even a medium harvest may not be sufti- ef t to avert a famine. “This calamity has this year visited the same localities as the famine of 1891, The whole of the governments of Voronezsh, Kaluga, Kursk, Orel, Penza, Riazan, Sama- ra, Saratov, Sinfbirsk, Tambov, Tula and Astrakhan, and some parts of the govern- ments of Nizhni Novgorod, Kazan, Ufa, Perm, Stavropol and Orenburg, are again stricken, not only with the same distress, but even with a still greater one, as there is also a deficiency of fodder. “The conditions under which this famine first manifested itself were more favorable than those of 1891. The great disaster of this latter famine consisted in the fact that all the public granaries were nearly empty, containing only one-fourth of the amount of grain which should have been kept there; in consequence of which, as soon as the first symptoms of the coming famine were observed, a dreadful panic set In, and was followed by grain speculation. This lesson was very hard, and caused larger quanti- ties of grain to be kept in the granaries, so that when, in 1897, it was ascertained that a famine might be expected, the granaries contained three-fourths of the obligatory supplies—i. e,, on January 1, 1897, there were in the granaries of the eighteen gov- ernments 68,000,000: poods (1,224,000 tons) of different cereals. }These supplies were very beneficial; they prevented panic during the first period of the famine, furnished the seed for sowing the winter fields in all the governments whéfe the crops had failed, and prevented grain speculation. Owing to this fact, the famineiin the eighteen gov- ernments has hadsno tfluence on the prices of grain in the Russian market. “On the other handy the present famine has occurred under. very unfavorable con- ditions, so far as the.public funds are con- cerned. The iota | the general alimen- tation capitals wete spent during the fam- ine of 1991, and the ee has been repaid very slowly. e present day, only 8,500,000 rubles ¢$4,377,500) in grain and money have beens distributed to the fam- ished governmenta from the public fund. “The Red Cross Soclety, other benevolent institutions and private persons are doing their utmost to néip tye needy. A reduced railroad tariff wa established on May 7 for grain going to the famished governments. oan tariff will continue not rapeqenes 13.

The three lifeboats were low~ ered into the sea, which was quite calm, ond the ship's officers stood by the rops ladders. Thus a panic was averted and the safety of the fifty-six persons cn board the Ardandhu assured. The heat was so intense and the smoke was so heavy that it was for a time un. safe for the passengers to remain on the upper deck.

It was nearly midnight when Captain Walker considered that he had the fire un- der control, and decided to continue on his way to New York. The women and chil- dren were taken back to the steamer and the lifeboats were hoisted to the cavits, pare for remodeling ues.
