A Senator Plays Ball with His Son.

The residents of Lafayette Square
were day or two ago permitted to wit
ness an interesting game of base ball
from their back windows. The contest
took place in the back yare of United
States Senator, and the players were Sen
atOr German and his son Arthur. The
younger German inherits his fathers
love for the national game and is an en-
thusiastic admirer of the sport. He has
been a regular attendant at all the pro-
fessional ball games played here this sea-
son. and recently he became possessed
with the idea that he has mastered the
secret of curve pitching. On the morn
ing in custom young German was en-
deavoring to initiate his father into the
mysteries of the curve. Senator Dolph,
of Oregon, and John Mclean, editor of
the Cincinnati Enquirer, who are neigh
bors of Senator German, were interested
spectators, as both of the gentlemen last
named are base ball enthusiasts.
