The Senators and the Giants made it an even thing yesterday in their double header, the visitors taking the first game by a score of 6 to 3 and the Wagnerites capturing the second by a total of 7 runs to 4 for their opponents. The feature of the two contests was that of the four pitchers who were en- gaged three were left-handers. In the first game Seymour was the south-paw artist, Dineen being his opposite, while in the sec- ond both twirlers used the port battery, Doheny and Frank Killen, the latter, who Pitcher Frank Killen, was traded by the Washington manage- ment for Charley Farrell five years ago, being given quite an enthusiastic reception as he took his placé on’ the rubber in a senatorial uniform. In the first game the New York men won because they outbatted their friends almost two to one, and it was superior hitting which gave the home peo- ple the victory in the second. Seymour vas wild, but while he gave nine passes, he also placed as many sirike-outs to his credit, and his ability in the latter work was most pronounced when hits, were needed by his opponents. In the first inning ef the first game Din- een gave three of his four passes, two runs resulting, and three runs scored by the Senators in this gameowere made by men to whom passes had’ been presented. Killen made a most favorable impression, strikmg cut three men and giving as many passcs, and keeping the eight hits secured off him well scattered, so that in but two inning: the sixth and eighth, were more than « hit made by the Giants. In the fifth inning of the first contest Tom brown, the ex- manager of the Washington team, made his first appearance here in the uniform of Uncle Nick Young's staff of arbitrators, and was pleasantly welcomed by the crowd, as was the former “king of umpires,’ John Gaffney, also an ex-manager of the Wash- ingtons, when he took his place behind the plate in the second game. Jud.Smith also made his debut here, and while he had but six chances in the day’s play, accepted them, scering a run in the first contest and making {wo hits out of four times at the bat in the second. Van Haltren and Tiernan were presented with passes in the first inning of the open- ing game, and on a double steal McGuire threw over Smith's reach, Van Haltren scoring and Mike going to third, whence he scored on Joyce’s unsuccessful steal of sec- ond, Scrappy having also received a pass. The visitors got as many runs in the third inning. Van Haltren singled past first and Joyce placed a single in left, the two men moving up a base on Selbach’s tumble, and each scored on Davis’ single tw center. Each team scored a run in the ilfth inning. Joyce singled to center and took second on Anderson’s slowness, scoring on Doyle's stngle to right. In their half Smith scored for the Senators on a puss, a steal, Hart- man’s error and Selbach’s single to short. In the following inning Seymour placed one of Dineen’s slow ones in the right field bleachers for a homer, and in their half of the ninth inning the Senators scored twice. Gettman and Dineen walked and Selbach filled the bases by a single to left. Was- ner’s hit to Seymour forced Gettman, but Anderson’s double to left center scored Din- een and Selbach. The Second Game. ‘The Giants also scored in the initial in- ning of the second contest, Van Haltren sending the ball over Gettman’s head for a triple and scoring on Joyce's fly to Gett- man. Neither side scored again until the third, when five hits secured off Doheny captured the game for the home people. In this inning Gettman and Kilien were given passes, and, after stealing third, Jake tallied on Selbach’s single to right. Wagner doubled to left center, scoring Killen and Selbach. He scored when Anderson hit to the left fleld fence for a triple, Andy go- ing home on McGuire's single that bounded over Hartman's head. Two more runs were scored by the Senators in the fifth, one being due to Warner's blunder. Farrell, after placing a single in right, was caught in an attempt to purloin second. Reitz sin- gled to left and took third on Smith’s sin- gle to right. Smith then started for sec- ond, and Warnet foolishly threw to Davis, when he could have captured Reitz easily on the latter's run-home. Gettman was given a pass, and Killen filled the bases with a slow one to Gleason, who fumbled it. On Hartman's fumblé. of Selbach’s hit Smith scored, Get going to third. Jake a moment later, while Doheny was in the act of delivering ‘the ball, started for home and secured it,'when, to the as- tonishment of the spéctators, Gaffney de- clared Wagner, who. had struck at the pitched ball, out for interference. A chance te score was lost in the follow- ing inning, because of Anderson’s slow- ness in working his gray matter. Andy had singled to center and had then gone to second on McGuire's 6ut. On Farrell's hit to third he started ,for third, when Hartman and Davis caught him between them. While dodging them Farrell took second. But Anderson, instead of allow- ing~himself to be caught: off the bag, ran back to it, when Gleason touched Farrell out, and then Anderson, when the latter left the bag in the confusion. In this inning the Giants scored a run and Davis. They scored twice in the eighth on Tiernan’s single to left and Juyce s triple to left center, the latter Washington. B.H.0.4.E.)New York. B.H.0.A.

It’s a stand-off between the New York: and Senators when heady playing is dis- cussed. Gettman is a great fielder, but when it comes to running bases and batting he has lots to learn. Anderson played center like a McAlec’ yesterday and batted well, but on the ba: he was in class C. McGuire is getting rusty behind the bat. ift to first and Farrell behind the bat bi put was all right and has a good, reliable If we only had a few more "s di Washington left-hander, like Killen. George Wrigley will not piay ball for a week or two. He has a horribly sore hand, something like a bone felon near the little finger that comes from a bruise. The New Yorks are fighting among them- selves, which is a good indication that they will play good ball.

He Was up a a couple of bad throws that the thought he should have ecppered, and at the bat his double loop swing at the ball looks count . His handling of batted balls was all right, and he will improve upon acquaintance. Umpires Gaffney and Brown were givena rousing reception when they walked on the field and both did good work. Gaffney t Gettman on his steal home, as Wagner tead of interfering was not aware the play was being made. O'Day umpired the first game and his work demonstrated that he will not do. The Louisvilles arrived in Washington at noen terday and took in the double header ational Park. All the Colonels look well and are as chipper as leaders in Manager-Captain Fred Clarke ide were the center of all eyes as they passed along the aisles to Presi- dent Young’s private bo: The big mistake the Senators made yes- terday was in not waiting longer at the bat and taking chances on strikes being called. Several times Seymour gave evi- dence of Weing wild and going in the air, but the local batsmen wouldn't give him time to sail away, but cut loose at the first or second bail pitched. Mike Grady, the celebrated headless catcher, became tangled up while on the bases in the second inning, and as a re- sult Joyce took him out of the game and placed Warner behind the bat. Grady then showed his appreciation by taking on a convenient headache and flatly refusing to catch the second game or bat for Doheney in the New York's last turn at the bat. Stiff fines would bring players like Grady + their senses in a hurry. ‘The present series between the Louisvilles and Washingtons will decide which club is to occupy the eleventh position in the championship race for a short period. The clubs are separated by about three games and two wins will about boost the Sena- tors into tenth place. Jack Doyle's reception yesterday was what that player likes. The crowd was divided, one-half applauding while the-other half hissed. This made Jack conspicuous, and there is not a player in the league who can oceupy the center of the stage with as much gratification as Jack Doyle. Jack told his companions on the bench that he had made four engagements to fight after the game with four excited “fans” in the right field bleachers. J. arle Wagner was heard to make a significant query the other afternoon. He wanted to know the number of people Washington would likely draw at Exposi- tion Park in three games, say Friday, Sat: urday and Monday. Would 5,000 people turn out?” asked J. E. W. He was as- sured that they certainly would. It fs sur- mised that Wagner has in mind the trans- fer of his Pittsburg series at Washington to this city. The rain last Thursday only helped matters because a double header was spoiled and there will be some good cause for the shift. Watkins will not talk on the matter.—Pittsburg Correspondent Sporting Life. Manager Denny Long of Reading writes that if J. Farl Wagner is sincere in his re- cently quoted desire for deals for minor league players on trial he (Long) is ready to deal with Washington on that basis. He has five players—Slater, Cockman, Heydon, Garvin and Fertsch—whom he is so sure can more than hold their own in the big league that he is willing to enter into an arrangement for their trial by Washington, just as he did with Pitcher Nops two years ago. Here’s a chance for Washington to do business without risk of “gold brick- ing."—Reading correspondent Sporting Life. Slater is a first baseman, Cockman a shortstop, Heydon a catcher and Garvin and Fertsch are pitchers. Now ts the time to try out material for next season, and if Manager Long will assort the players, giv- ing us the Hibernians, perhaps he can do business with the head of the Washington club. BRINGING THE CHALLENGE. Preparations by the New York Yacht Club. At a meeting of the New York Yacht Club, called last evening to consider the preliminary challenge for the America’s cup, Secretary Oddie offered the following Preamble and resolution, which were at once adopted by a unanimous vote: “The Royal Ulster Yacht Club, having communicated to this club its intention to challenge for the America’s cup, “Resolved, That the flag officers, secre- tary and’ treasurer be and are hereby ap- pointed a committee, with power, on behalf of this club, to accept, under the deed of gift, such challenge for a match for the America’s cup; to arrange the terms there- of and select a yacht to represent this club therein; and, by ‘mutual consent with the challenging club, to make any arrangement as to dates, courses, number of trials, rules and sailing ions other conditions of the match. And the salu committee have power, in their discretion, to add to their number. Said match shall be sailed under the direction of the regatta committee, pursuant to ar- ate of the constitution.” received by Secretary Kelly of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club of Belfast: “I have the honor on behalf of the New York Yacht Club to acknowledge the re- ceipt of your cable. Its purport is, most agreeable and will be consiaered as soon as a meeting can be called. Your commit- tee will be warmly welcomed. (Signed) “ODDIE, Secretary.” Charles Russell sailed yesterday with the formal challenge. He ts going to Canada and will reach New York August 23. The other members of the committee, Hugh C. Kelly, Major Sharman Crawford and Mr. Mclidowney, will leave probably August 24. RN re hres RACING AT INDIANAPOLIS. “The Great Providers.” Down! Down! Down! Will they never stop?

This happened at the close of the second heat of the contest, Martin being at the front of the bunch and apparently a winner, when he slipped over the pole and slid along the track. Gardiner went over him. Ed Stevens followed, and then Lou Coburn went down in the heap. Cooper and McFarland were in the finish, but es- caped luckily from a spill, Cooper dis- mounting frem his wheel as white as the Wheel itself. Gardiner could not ride in the great fiaal, but Martin did to show his pluck. From sixty yards he finished fourth, leading the back bunch over the tape.

After encircling ihe track part way he dismounted, for he could ride no farther.
