DEFEATED IN BOSTON.
How Washingtons Lost-Record Of the
Home Team.

"The Boston defeated the Senators to-day
in a one-sided and uninteresting game. The
fielding of the visitors wretched and that
OF the home team faultless. heavy shower
delayed the game twenty minutes. Battery
errors were frequent. Attendance, 1,206."
Such is yesterdays tale told in dispatch
from Boston. The score was 10 to 4, and the
batteries Clarkson, Bennett and Kelly, and
Haddock, Sullivan, DAILY and Mack. Washing
ington made hits and errors, and Boston s
hits and errors. Hoy, Sullivan, Wise, Mack,
base. Sweeney made errors, Wilmot l. Irwin
l, and Mack /. The Senators did not score
until the seventh iruing.
Chicago defeated Indianapolis, 10 to g. on
account Of Getzein's wildness. Healy and Far
rell and Getzein and Buckley were the bate
ries. Chicago made hits and errors and In
dianapolis IL hits and errors.
Pittsburg received another coat Of white
wash, Cleveland winning by the score Of 8 to O..
The batteriei were Beatin and Sutcliffe and
Staley and Miller. Rowe played at short field
and made hits, leading the batting

RECORD OF THE HOME TEAM.
The subjoined table shows in detail the work
Of the Washington base ball club during the
last two weeks against the Chicago, Indianapo-
lis, Pittsburg and Cleveland clubs
The table tells good story for the ability of
the men with the bat, only four and three of
these pitches falling below creditable figure,
while six out of thirteen rank above 300. Keefe
heads the list but, having played in only two
games, DAILY really has the place of honor. Will
mot general average is higher than that in the
table, as he took big drop the last week, while
Clarke, Carney aud Sweeny are beyond their
usual gait. The fielding of DAILY, Wise and
Wilmot is of the gilt-edged class, while that of
Irwin, Clarke, Sweeny, Hoy and Mack shows
where the errors were made which bring the
clubs average below that Of our opponents. 1t
is a singular fact, however, that the fielding
work of all the visiting clubs while here was
better than their average for the season. In
batting the Senators are well to the fore, with
| $40 against $40 and Is runs ahead While Hoy
is low down in average, the evidence OF his
good judgment is shown in the number of runs
scored by him, which is exceeded by only two
| men

Millionaire Blythe's VIII.

Attorney Hart has returned to San Francisco
from Los Angeles with what is claimed to be q
certified copy Of the will of the dead million
aire. Thomas h. Blythe, but he refuses to talk
about it until it is produced in court. The
original will, it is asserted, was burned almost
as soon as found, but before its destruction a
shorthand copy, afterward written out, was
made. There are said to be witnesses to both
the burning and the copying now living. 1t ID

PASSENGERS DELAYED.
An Engine Gives Out the Other Side Of
Long Bridge.

The three hundred or more government
clerks and others who do business in Washing
ton and live over In Virginia along the line of
the Washington and Ohio railroad were de-
layed nearly an hour and a half in reaching
the city this morning. The engine gave out
between the Alexandra junction and the Long
bridge. There was loud grumbling by the be-
lated passengers because no engine was sent
to their assistance, though one was
Immediately telegraphed for by the
conductor. The reply received was, SO it was
slated, to bring in the train as soon as the
engine could be put in order. The accident
was the breaking Of the piston-rod Of the
engine, and engineer, fremen and brakemen
tried to patch up the pieces by using the bell
rope. Finally train coming from Alexandria
with perfect engine pushed the delayed train
in.
They take all the old engines that are unfit
Tor use elsewhere and put them ON our line"
said an indignant passenger. as he stood upon
the tracks and watched the attempt to repair
the break. That line makes money enough
to justify the employment Of the best class of
engines and coaches. but II don't get them be-
cause the company knows it has no opposition
and that we who live out here must use what
they give Us or drive in in our own teams"

THE FREE BRIDGE ALL RIGHT.
1t VIII be Opened Again to Regular
Travel Tomorrow Morning.


Captain Symons visited the free bridge yes
terday afternoon and for q long time was an
interested spectator Of the work Of putting in
the concrete at the base Of the damaged pier.
The result Of his inspection was very satisfac-
tory. He found that the pier had stopped set
Ting, and learned from the divers that the
concrete and rip-rap was all in place and very
solid This morning he had . long conference
with Major Raymond and they decided to open
the bridge to regular traffic tomorrow morn
ing.
In conversation with a STAR reporter Capt.
Symons said that he thought that the bridge
would now be as good as ever. The captain
said that too much credit could not be given to
the system Of bridge inspection which was in
vogue in this city. II it had not been for that,
he said, the settling would never have been
noticed and the pier would have been in the
bottom Of the river ere this. As 1t was, he
said, the first movement was discovered and
the settling checked. The loss Of this pier,
the captain said, would be quite serious
thing, for, aside from the fact that traffic would
have been stopped for long time, the District
would have lost $50. 900.
Major Raymond, when questioned upon the
subject, said that he considered the pier as
good, If not better, than it ever was before.
