THE WEEKS WORK.
The week has not been as prosperous as many of
the home enthusiasts wished, but it has been all
that could be expected from a team playing away
from home, and In such cities as Boston and New
YORK. There have been four games played result
Ing In one victory and three defeats. on Monday
the senators won by the score OF to ., the bat
terieS being ODay and DeaSley and GARRISON and
Tate. The result came from the Statesmens SUI

the visitors, ID 10 o. Radbourne pitcned with such
effect that his opponents secured but safe hit,
while Boston pounded Whitney for eleven hits,
The senators aided the other side by means OF nu-
merous errors. The contest or THURSDAY was to
take the place or that OF Tuesday. 1t was a re-
markaole game. ana IA innings were played before
Boston could claim the vltory, to 2. The batting
and nelding were about equal, but the Hubbites
had all the luck. O'Day and D-asley and Sowders
and Tate were the batteries. One victory out of
four games in Boston was all that could be ex-
pected, but no one looked for such WaterloOS as
those OF Saturday and Wednesday. The Statesmen
will be doing well to take one game from the
Giants IL was wise move TO pitch Gilmore yes
terday. New YORK, backed by keefe would have
won anyway, aud the chances are more than equal
for a victory to-day with Whitney or ODay In the
box against one OF the lesser lights OF Mutrie's
galaxy.

There is considerable talk just at present about
new material being added to the senatorial struc-
ture. One Of the directors Is reported as saying
that pitcher Shaw, alias the wizard alias Dupee
might possibly be re-engaged. Shaw has been ac-
knoWledged as one or the best pitchers in the
country. Other rumorS point to posi-
bllty OF getting White, Louisville'S shortstop
His old friends here would greet him Joyfuliy.
lie is regarded here one OF the best ineld play
erS In the business, and the management could
get no one man in the country VINO would increase
the popularity OF the team more with the Washing
ton pubic. White Will not play ball for Louisville
and has been suspended. He will be sold or ex-
chained. Here Is WeShingtonS chance. Tug
Arundel Is also mentioned as q possible addition
To the club. This kind OF talk may be neie guess
WORK, bat IL seems 10 indicate that the directors
are anxious TO strengthen the team IL possible.
WORD comes from Philadelphia that the consent
OF all the other league clubs has been obtained TO
reduce the admission price TO % cents. III Phiia-
delphia, why not Washington?
To the Editor o. TUE EVENING STAR:
Referring TO the communication in your issue OF
Saturday, the 23d instant, signed s'Curiosty"I
must plead guilty to the charge OF having made
no arrangement as yet for advertising Char!eton
Heights; but the extenuation OF my fault is to be
found in the fact that no satisfactory means have
ever been discovered Of compelling contractors to
keep their pledges. The lots were not ready TO be
put upon the market at the date OF "Curiosity's,
communication; but portion OF the hOme-seek-
surprise party. and have signlfied their approval
OF our project by purchasing over one hundred and
twenty lots.
1t is hoped that the remainder OF the contract
work at Charleton Heights will be completed In a
few days, and then / Will be only TOO happy 10
effect some arrangement whereby your valuable
paper will become "the medium Tor the diffusion
OF Information in regard TO this matter"
