About four or five hundred persons were curious enough to make the trip to the grounds, and about the only time they were aroused was when Tommy Tucker, in the sixth inning, indulged in his characteristic style of coaching. Tommy Was encouraged in his work by the crowd, and was given a hearty reception when he stepped to the bat for the first time. Kil- len pitched his second game for the Sen- ators since his recent acquisition, and for five Innings held the visitors down to two hits. Then he let up In his work to a vis- ible extent, allowing Hurst's men to make nine hits in the remaining four innings. | ssughey twirled for the Browns, and was. touched up for fifteen hits for a total of | eighteen bases, Selbach knocking the ball over Stenzel’s head in the first inning for a triple, and Smith placing a double in right in the fifth. Every man on the home team got one or more hits but McGuire, who, as aman the bleac 's declared, reminded him of Cartwright in the way he popped up fly balls. Reitz got three hits out of four times at the bat, and he and his associates played an errorless me. nm kept » eleven hits made off him that but two runs result- ors’ hits were in almost of every instance productive rui The derson hit one too hot for Quinn, and on a gie to center in the following inning, his plate, and in the eighth inning Stenzel’s serateh hit to Kilien and singies by Harley and Cross gave the Browns one more run in the eighth.

No errors yesterday—playing them safe. Loftus talks like a man who understands his business. How would McGraw do for captain, man- ager and third baseman for the Senators? Rumor has it that he will be “let go by Baltimore. McGuire, Reitz, Selbach and the pitchers will do, but minor leaguers could hardly do worse than the others. Maybe J. Earl won't use an ax on next year’s contracts. There are about half a dozen players on the Washington team who are drawing about twice as much in sala- ries as their playing this season entitles them to. This applies principally to the so-called stars. In looking for a yellow streak €aptain Tebeau evidently overlooked his own club. Four straight defeats in Boston and one in Brooklyn, making five straight against his club, has very much of the yellow tinge about it. And still Charley Nichols great ball for the Bostons. The question is, when will the wise prophets hit the nail on the head in predicting that Charley will pitch his last season? Temperance goes. a long way in keeping a man in the league. = Predictions about the New York club are coming true these days. The Giants were touted all along the line for a sensational, bruising finish, and they are right at it now. With Rusie, Meekin and Seymour in good condition, with the old-timers well thawed out, the Giants may have a “look in” for the pennant. ,The Baltimore players and the oyster city press are getting a little “‘chesty” over the late winnings of the Orioles, claiming nothing short of first or second place in the pennant race. The birds are simply playing with dead clubs. The Louisville, St. Louis and Pittsburg are not in their class, and they must win on their own grounds. When the birds stack up against the New Yorks, Bostons, Clevelands and Cincinnatis the difference between the club of this year and last will be quickly seen. Cockman, the Reading short stop, whom Denny Long wants Earl Wagner to give a trial, was strictly in the game yesterday. He had a triple, a double and a Single, be- sides having three put-outs and four as- sists without an error. St. Louis and Louisville are now bidding for this short stop, and the chances are he is too good for Washington. The patrons of the game should be a iit- tle patient with “Jud” Smith. He is far and away the best third baseman we have had in Washington for the past ten years, and he may learn to handle his bat better. A little advice from the older men on this subject might help “Jud,” but it will be a cold day in August when any of these foxy boys come to his assistance. Judge Buffington, in the United States district court at Pittsburg, yesterday hand- ed down a verdict in favor of the defend- ant in the celebrated case of A. C. Gum- bert, the pitcher, against the Chicago Base Ball Club. Gumbert, in his suit, attacked the contracts of the National League and claimed salary and damages for the pe- riod in 1888 when he was unable to get an engagement in the league. The case, which Was settled yesterday, has been pending since July, 1893. There is a new leader In the National League, Boston yesterday supplanting Cin- cinnati. Tt was a great day for the cham- pions and a sad one for the Reds. Last Season's pennant winners captured a red- hot struggle from Chicago, and Cincinnati was ousted from first place by suffering a defeat which carried with it the husnilias tion of a shut-out. First place was held by the Reds for over three months, a feat that cannot be praised too highly. It will be a desperate battle now until the finish, two months hence. is pitching THAT FREEDMAN CASE. Monager Hanlon and Player Holmes Will Contest the Matter. Manager Hanlon is getting hotter and hotter over the league’s action tn the Freedman case as it begins to dawn upon him. ‘Their decision," he said yesterday, “i3 simply an outrage. I cannot say just yet what we shall do about it, as I wish to have the matter carefully looked into and our rights determined before we go ahead. You may be assured, however, that we will fight this thing to the bitter end. “The whole action of the board was simply a cowardly attempt to conciliate Andrew Freedman. The directors did not Lave backbone enough to do their duty, and preferred to sacrifice a poor ball player to appease the wrath of the New York magnate. The injustice of it makes my blood boil. But it won’t stand, mark -my word.” . Holmes, when seen yesterday, seemed little concerned about the matter. “I don’t believe they can use me as they like. I have a right to get my living, and I shall take steps at the proper time to as- paced rights. I am ertitled to a hear- ng. It is quite likely that Holmes will have recourse to the courts if the league insists Upon standing upon its star chamber methods. Holmes has a written contract with the Baltimore club, under which ke has rights and duties. He cannot arbitra- rily be deprived of nis rights, and will take legal measures to see that they are pro- tected. It is hinted that he will apply for an in- juaction against the Baltimore club and the league, preventing them from suspend- irg him and depriving him of his liveli- hood. The Tebeau case is a precedent in this matter. Hanlon is also consulting counsel, and it is quite Ikely that he will bring ‘a Tega! action on Freedman’s dishonored check to get his share of ihe gate receipts of the (Ce Bame- Altogether, @ pretty row is ing, wh will shake the le: te its foundations. see CHAIRMAN MOTT’S BULLETIN.

The eighteenth annual tournament of the United States National Lawn "Tennis Asso- ciation was opened at the Casino at New- port yesterday morning under most favor- able conditions, it being real tehnis weath- er, the sun partially“‘bbscured by clouds and a refreshing breeze sweeping across the courts. The attendance was large, nearly everybody going to the,grand stand, in which court the doubles between Davis and Ward, the western pair, and Whitman and George Wrenn, the eastern champions, were played, the winners to meet the cham- pions Sheldon and Ware today. The western boys had a comparatively easy time of it, they playing a steady game and having good team work. The work of Davis in particular was brilliant, and he had a cross court smash that inva- riably fooled his opponents. In the third set Wrenn and Whitman played good ten- nis, but the latter was too slow for his partner, his great fault being the net. In the preliminary round the best match was between Ware and Fischer, the for- mer. playing in good form ‘and having his opponent completely at his mercy. In the first round some good tennis was developed, the hardest matclr being between Paret and McKittrick, the former, however, pulling through with honors. The summary of the day’s play is as follows: Preliminary round—R. H. Carleton beat C. Whibeck, 6—1, 6—4, 6-1. H. H. Hackett beat R. Hooker, 6— 8—G. H. E. Avery beat G."S.

When the attention of the Columbus magnate w: called to th» article in question he replied “That Washington writer has been smok- ing a vile brand again. I have not seen Earl Wagner since the league meeting in St. Louis last February, and have been too busy to evan telegraph him, muca less make application by letter for’a position I do not want. You oan say posttively that no correspondence of “any kind has heen carried on between Wagner and myself, rot even concerning players, although it was reported that he,was after Wolverton. I prefer to handle a team of'my own, even if it is not a big money maker, rather than be tied up where full control ‘could not be given me. Like Anson, when I manage a team I intend to be manager in fact as Well as in name, and as owner of a minor league franchise there is no chance for any one to interfere with my plans and ideas.” NATIONAL CROQUET TOURNEY.

The Philadelphia committee of the Na- tional Association of Amateur Oarsmen held a meeting last night at the Philadel- phia Athletic Club for the purpose of con- sidering a number of important items in connection with the last national regatta. The committee reported that the expenses incurred amounted to $1,548.36, divided as follows: Banners and badges, $222.50; prizes, $895.28; steamboats, tugs and course, 295.50; reception and departure, $79.75; printing, $11; miscellaneous expenses, $41.33; deficit on grand stand, $41.55. There Was received from the sale of grand stand = $407 and from the sale of programs 75. The total amount guaranteed by the vari- ous clubs has not yet been paid to the treasurer of the committee, and ft is un- derstood that even when all has been paid in the committee will find itself about $500 on the wrong side of the ledger. This amount will have to be raised elther by subscription or assessment.

Has Assumed Protectorate Over the Whole of the Land. The Berlin papers comment on a dispatch from Aden, published in the St. Petersburg Viedomosti, declaring that England has as- sumed a protectorate over the whole of south Arabia from Bab 21 Mandeb strait to the Gulf of Oman. The St. Petersburg Herold describes the importance of the acquisition, which is equal in extent to the whole of France, and comprises a line of fortifications which may in the future deminat2 the road to India and assist in dominating the Persian gulf and Persian trade. The Vossische Zeitung believes that Rus- sia will now act with energy to secure a position in the Persian gulf. ‘The London Daily Graphic says it under- stands that an excharge of views is occur- ring between the governmenis of Great Britain and Russia, and that negotiations, started on Friday last, are proceeding in a conciliatory spirit’ on both sides.

A special dispatch from .Shanghai says it is reported that China has siven an un- dertaking to the French minister that France shall have sole p2rmission to build a railway between Canton and Haskow.
