GAMES OF BASEBALL ARRANGED.
Phillies Tuesday and Wednesday,
and the Hostons on Saturday.

Yesterday was q miserable day for thirty
or more base-ballsts registered at Ford's
Hotel, and as they restlessly paced the
lobby IL was quite apparent that they
were thoroughly wretched.
The rain prevented the game which was
to have taken place between the Giants
and the Washingtons, and the postpone
ment Of the contest was great disap-
polntment, as the result was awaited with
eagerness
The Senators. who have been playing
practice games in Savannah, Augusta, aud
Charleston. for some days past, arrived
here yesterday morning. There are Six
teen in the party and the following are
the players: w. II. Wagner, +. Dowd, G.
ford, III. Richardson, III. Larkin. j. Dolan,
III. Gastright. L. Foreman. NJ. Kilroy,
James Mcclure, j. Milllgan, and 9. L.
Duifee.
WILL NOT BE LAST.
The team, which is now IN excellent
trim, has been greatly strengthened for
the season. and it will be their purpose
hereafter to repudiate that dIstasteful
soubr5q,tet - the "Tailenders - which
chung 10 them last summer. While on
their recent southern trip the Senators
played four games with the PhlladelphIas
and captured one of them. They are a
fine-looking set of fellows, and unusually
"dressy" for base ballsts.
The Washingtons and Giants will meet
at Island Park tomorrow afternoon. and
each club will put up their strongest
men.

of the Revenues office that his club would
be required to pay a license of $40 for the
games they played here last week, and that
should the money not be forthcoming by
Monday morning, the sum would have TO be
doubled. MIR. Powers was much surprised
at the information, as he has not been In
the habit Of paying licenses in other cities
he he's visited. He says the Giants, who
AoFC AVt OSeuA w manu- SAICHcto III
mond, have left considerable amount of
cash here. as there are twenty-five or,
thirty in the party and all of them spend
their money freely. As far as the money is
