Jack Taylor, the Browns’ crack twirler, and Dineen were the opposing rubber art- ists, and save in the matter of strike-outs, the youngster had the better of the argu- ment with his seasoned rival. Both teams, however, hit the bail frequently, the home people doing so more opportunely. The vis- ' ters played@ with much more life than in the preceding games and were strengthened by the signing of Tom Kinslow, who back- ed up Taylor in good style, besides knock- ing out two hits out of four times at the bat. Misfortune again struck the senator- jal team, Selbach spraining his right ankle badly in sliding to second base in the first inning. He was repiaced by Donovan, the youngster putting up an unusually ‘clever game in left. He captured seven flies and closed the game by taking Dowd’s foul fly hear the fence and doubling up Taylor at first by a fine throw to Farrell. Mercer again played short, the only error of his side being a short throw by him to Farrell. For the first time in several games Reitz failed to get a hit, McGuire also failing to safely connect with the bail, although in every instance he hit it hard. Farrell and Gettman each had three hits and Anderson two, the rest of the team, with the excep- tion of Dineen, getting one apiece. 5 Scoring was begun by the Senators in the opening inning. Selbach placed a single in left, but was forced at second by Reitz. Selbach left the game with a badly sprain- ed ankle. On Anderson's single to left Reitz went to third, scoring on Farrell's out at first. The home people added two runs to their score in the second tnning. Mercer singled past third, Smith sent the ball past Tucker, and on Tucker's drop of Taylor's throw off Gettman’s bunt Mercer scored, Smith going to third and then home on Donovan's single to center. Taylor then settled down to a wonderful extent, and the Senators failed to score again unti! the ninth inning. Meantime the visitors had tied the score. In the sixth inning they sent two men across the plate. Stenzel walked, and went to third on Harley's single to right. The iatter was thrown out at. second and Sten- zel went home on Cross’ single to right. Kinslow singled to left, sending Cross to third, from whence he scored on Quinn's single to right. In the following inning the Browns tied the score on Dowd’s single to left and Stenzel's triple over Gettman’s ead. ‘The Senators took the game in their half of the last inning. Reitz walked, Ander- son placed a single in center and Farrell's slow bounder to Quinn filled the bases. Mc- Guire hit toward Tucker, who, in his cager- ness, let the ball slip past him, Reitz scor- ing. Mercer sent Anderson home by a sin- gle past Taylor, and on Smith's force of Mercer at second Farrell scored. Score: Washington. R.H.0.A.E. (St. Louis, RHL.O.A.B.

He turned his,ankle at second base during the first inning, tlie bag acting as a roller, and Sel went ddwmand out. He will be out of the game for'a week @ more. ‘Tom Kinslow can thank Earl Wagner for his engagement by the St. Louis club. It took some of Earl's it talk to land Tom inside the Browns’ Kinslow has been taking the best of care of himself lately, and if he can keep up the stride at which he went yesterday Manager Hurst is due for congratulations. Wrigley’s hand is healing and he should be able to get back in the game in about a week. It will take a couple of days for the flesh to harden in the center of his hand after the bruise has completely healed. Selbach's injury may result in another new face being added to the senatorial ag- gregation in the outfield. The club, as at present constituted, is running very close to the wind, and an injury to McGuire or Farrell would prove very disastrous. Jim Stafford, who is playing right for the Bostons, is putting up a game just now that Stahl, or even Keeler, cannot excel. Jim hasn't’ made an error in the last seven games, his fielding being especially bril- + liant, while his batting has been the means of winning three out of the last seven games. Yesterday he had three singles and a home run. The Pittsburg club commences a series of three games with the Senators at Na- tional Park today. The Pirates have not been doing so well on this trip as they did on their first swing east, but they are still playing good ball. Frank Killen is slated to go in against his old comrades, and the left-hander will doubtless do his best. Hastings or Rhines will probably do the pitching for the visitors. Yesterday was a day of base ball shut- outs. Out of fourteen championhsip games played by National, Atlantic and Bastern League clubs in no less than nine did the losing club fail to score. In the National Boston, New York and Cleveland shut out Chicago, Cincinnati and Brooklyn, respect- ively, and there were three shut-outs in, the Atlantte and three in the Eastern League. That arm of Nichols’ must have steel in it. He isn’t one of the pitch-one~day-and- rest-four pitchers. He is an every-day ar- ticle. The man who inquired “Where would the Bostons be without Nichols?” proposed a very difficult question. Nick not only pitches great ball, but he has a very dis- agreeable practice (to the other fellows) of winning his own game at the bat. Within the past two weeks Nick has won three games with a three-bagger at the right place. After a month of @ickering the Boston club has sacrificed “Jack” Stivetts, exiling him to St. Louis. Some time before the Beaneaters left for the west a deal was made with St. Louis whereby Stivetts was. swapped for Pitcher Carsey and a goodly slice of cash, but the trade was made con- tingent upon Stivetts’ consent to transfer his allegiance to Von der Ahe. There was the rub. The veteran steadfastly refused to sign with St. Louis. Por a while the deal hung fire. Then Von der Ahe in- creased his offer, and greed triumphed over the better feelings of Stivetts’ masters. A few days ago they sold him outright for 2,000 and a St. Louis player whose name is for the present kepb-shady. Washington has won nine of the eleven games thus far playéd° with St. Louis, tak- ing the full series on the home grounds, four on the first trip‘andythree on the sec- ond. In the first serips of four in St. Louis Wasington won two and lost two. Three are yet to be played Sty Louis... r Umpire Charles Sn#tier of this city, who has been officiating in Boston during the past week, was notifigd ytsterday by Presi- dent Young of his rél¢as¢from the league's staff of umpires, and immediately left that clty for Washington.

Former President of St. Louis Club Takes Wife Na, 3. ST. LOUIS, Mo., August.19.—Word was received from Alton, IL, that Chris Von Ler Ahe, former president of the St. Louis Club, was married in that city yesterday to Miss Kaiser. This is the magnate’s third matrimorial venture. a + CALLING EN THE LAW. Holmes’ Attorney Will Seek an In- Junction Against Baltimore Club, The National League board of directors are very likely to have a lawsuit on their hands as the result of their generally con- Gemned decision in the Holmes-Freedman controversy. Holmes, the baltimore play- er, consulted legal counsel yesterday, with a view of preventing the board from carry- ing out the decree of suspension. Mr. Con- way W. Sams, his attorney, in discussing the matter, said: “I have been looking into the law bear- ing on the subject, and the deeper I go the more certain [ am that Holmes can pre- vent the board from depriving him of earning his living on any such ground as the one charged, and especially without giving him a chance to be heard. In fact, i hardly believe the members of the board will attempt to enforce their decree when they consider the matter and see that they are wrong. I rather expect to see some compromise made of the whole affair that will be more just to Holmes and the Bal- timore club.” it is likely that an injunetion will be sought by Holmes, directed to Mr. Hanlon, and forbidding Holmes’ suspension. The steps will probably be taken before the team leaves Baltimore next week for the west. Holmes is receiving much sympathy, not cnly from the general public, but from ball players ail over the country. He has re- ceived a number of letters of sympathy from persons he never saw and yesterday got one from a lady in Philadelphia. The ball players see the possibility of danger to themselves if the board can suspend a man for practically no offense, The Suspension without a hearing ts especially dangerous, they think. The Chicago players are dis. cussing the possibility of a strike of all the players if Holmes is suspended. The play- ers are also much incensed at members of the New York team, who made affidavits against Holmes, and threaten to ostracise any such and give them no quarter on the base paths. The players are up in arms, and the club owners might fin think on these things. aig ae OES — CHAMPION SHIP TENNIS, Budlong Beats Par, t jm Singles in a Four-Hour Ma a Newport. Gradually th? struggle "for the lawn ten- nis championship of Amefica at Newport is narrowing down to the bast players of the country. Yesterday's jnatches at the Casino left only eight mon to struggle for the final honors. Much to the surprise of those who were bagtzinformed, the two matches that were schedyled for the closest of the day, ‘those between Whitman and Wrenn, and Ware and .MiMett, did not fur- nish any excitemant at all. Both of the Harvard men won inte easiest kind of fashion, the two New,Yorkers, Millett and Wrenn, being hopelessly beaten. ‘The feature of the Way turned up in the Budlong-Paret match, which lasted for nearly four hours, TBudlong showed re- markable form at Magnolia last week, when nee — ae singles cluding W: Fisc! eeveral other ¢ from a strong field, in- ‘her, Bond, Davis, and ther handily, and had pulled an the fourth set | to be jeruption.

Little “Jimmy” Michael, the clever mid- dle-distance bicycle rider, has the jockey bee buzzing in his bonnet again, and he !s said to have practically made up his mind to desert the wheel for the running turf. Michael had a bad attack of the same dis- ease last spring, and he spent some time exercising horses at the Gravesend track. ‘When the time came, however, for him to jump into the bicycle saddle, he apparent- ly forgot the horse. His contract with a cycling association will expire in a few weeks, however, and intimate friends of the little fellow say that he will again be fcund at the running track. Michael himself admits that he wanis to become a jockey, and says he realizes the troublesome times ahead of him before he secures a mount upon a first-class horse. Sensational reports have been circulated that Michael is confident that in a few months he will be able to rival the peer- less Sloan. Of course, if Michael has any such ideas they will be quickly knocked out of his head. He has just about as much chance to rival Sloan on the turf as Sloan has to rival Michael as a bicycle rider. When Shafer, Michael's manager, was asked recently whether Michael was going to become a jockey, he said with his char- acteristic candor that he did not care a rap what “Jimmy” did as soon as his con- tract with him (Shafer) had been carrie: out. As Michael is Shafer’s ‘‘meal ticket,” one would suppose that “Foxey Quiller” would show a little more concern regard- ing the subject. Michael will ride Leffer- son a fifteen-mile paced race at Asbury Park tomorrow, and h2 will provably meet Taylore and perhaps Bald in a three- cornered race at the Manhattan Beach track on August 27. According to reports, these will be Michael's last races this year. NATIONAL CROQUET TOURNEY. Strong, Duryea and Wahley Lead in the First Division. The second round in the croquet tourney at Norwich, Conn., was commenced in the first and second divisions yesterday, and Streng and Duryea and Wahley hays their fights still undetermined. Wahley, by mis- erable playing with Jacobus, lost a game to him, but as he still has an opportunity to defeat both Strong and Duryea he has a chance for the prize. Strong won games from Butler and Apgar by exc2llent play- ing, giving his opponents no chances what- ever. Duryea also took Butler and Sisson into camp and then closed his day’s record with no defeats in the tourney play. In the second division Edmunds of Phila- delplia gave Dudlsy his first defeat. Then Bryan took hold of him and gave him arother. This gives Cooper, Dwight and Eryant all even chances with Dudley. In the third division Crosbie had his record broken by Bard of Norwich, but stands nearly sure of first place, as Bard must w all his remaining games to tis the N Yorker. Two very interesting games’ for the Van Wickle medal were played by Strong and Duryea, the former winning. The balls in the first game never gav> Duryea a possible curom and the champion was forced to suc- cumb without geiting an arch. In the sec- ond game the New Londoner again started and held just as rigid a rein, never giving Ife to his opponent. The score: FIRST DIVISION. Won. Lost. Won.

A Ponce, Porto Rico, dispatch, dated yes- terday, says: The natives show a disposition to perse- cute the Spanish residents, and several minor riots have occurred here. At Yauco last night the natives threw stoncs and bricks into Spanish shops in retaliation for cutrages committed within the Spanish lines. The military have been ordered to suppress these demonstrations and punish the offenders. Gen. Miles and staff went to Gen. Wil- son’s headquarters at the front today. They were escorted by a troop of cavalry. Gen. Grant will join Gen. Brooke iomorrow. The German warship Geier arrived here today. FLEET’S CHANGE OF BASE. Key West Abandoned Because of Yellow Fever and Norfolk Selected. With the exception of the gunboat Prince- ton and the monitor Miantonomoh, which have been sent to the Dry. Tortugas, all the ships of the fleet at Key West have been ordered to Norfolk without delay, and many have already departed. The naval base has been transferred from Key Wést to Norfolk. The reason for this is the ap- pearance of yellow fever at Key West. There are now ten cases in the marine bar- racks, all the victims being marines. Forty persons in all are in the building, which is an old cigar facory, and a most rigid quar- antine is being maintained. Whether.there are any scattered cases throughout the town is not known, but thi: will be determined by a house-to-house in- Spection. The marine hospital and local physicians are confident that the disease wiil be confined to the barracks, aud that there is no danger of an epidemic. ‘The utmost precautions are being ob- served. + e+ Vesuvius in Active Eruption. Vesuvius is again in a state of active ing down the mountain side at the rate of 400 yards an hour. The chestnut trees on Mt. Somma have been burned.

Kanhedy, whom they charge with the murder of Emeline Reynolds at the Grand Hotel, that escape is impossible for him. ‘The facts will be presented to the Sep- tember grand jury, which will be asked to find a trus bill against him. The police theory of the murder, as it has been set up with the assistance of the Wistrict attorney, dismisses the robbery motive. The murderer did not, in their bs- lef, kill the woman to get her jewelry; probably he did not mean to kill her at all, He came to the hotel to get possession of th> evidence of forgery and fraud which she held in the shape cf the forged check for $13,000, Kenredy wes desperately hard up, the police say, and had been playing a dan- gerous game. He had got money from Miss Reynolds on pretense of putting it into race gambling in which he had a sure thing. The very day of the murder he was to get $500 from her. It was necessary for him to show good results from previous operations, they say, and he hit upon the idea of writing a check in th? name of Dudley Gideon, hoping to convey the im- pression that he was Dave Gideon, the horseman, and so back up his assertion that he had a pull of the first order. He did write out the check, and it work=d as desired. But the fraud would be discovered as soon as the check was presented, and then the game would be up. He went to th> hotel, the police say, pre- pared to get it by force, if need be. Wheth- er he dosed the woman with chloral or struck her down first, he failed to find what he was after. He thought she had tho check upon her person, and she did, but so tucked away in her clothing that cnly when the clothing was removed for the autopsy was its hiding plac? revealed. Furious with disappointment, he killed her and so closed her mouth. The jewelry she wore he took as an afterthought, and fled. They have half a doz2n witnesses who saw Kennedy with her. He denies that he Was there, and gets himself tangled up in a dozen contradictory stories. They have the evidence of his underclothing streaked with lead, which they say was stained by the lead pipe with which the woman was Killed. The marks are not to be mistaken, they say. There is still another piece of evidence which the police consider final and con- clusive. It is a torn scrap of paper found in the room where th: murdered woman lay. The detectives picked it up and pasted it up with various other litue scraps found in the room. When put together they were found to make a leaf from a pr2scription pad, cou- taining the printed words, “Milk of Mage nesia.” One scrap was missing. It was found on the fire escape, just outside the room, When all th2 pieces were put between panes of glass and the whole turned over, upon the back of it was the name, in bis handwriting, “E. Maxwell and wife.” it was the name agreed upon by the two for the hotel registry that day. Evidently th2y had been in the habit of sending each other word, using such odds and ends of paper as came to hand. The detectives went to his office and found the pad from which the leaf had been torn. The pad and the leaf complete the chain of evidence that Kennedy was in the hotel with the woman. —<oo-____ SUICIDE OF A CAPTAIN, Carmichael Was Hl and Had Lost Valuable Commissary: Accounts.
