Base Ball Notes.

Mccarthy Of the Bostons is working a new
wrinkle quite successfully. With men on
bases and a short fly is hit to left field. he
purposely drops the ball and then quickly
throws 1t to the infield for a double play.
He worked the trick In the second Philadel-
phia game and Umpire Hurst said there was
nothing in the rules to prevent 1t. Irwin
protested the game.
Director W. B. Wheeler of the New York
Base Ball Club has declared himself that
until Roger Common is laid of and Jack
Doyle is placed on first base and Stafford
takes Tiernan's place in the field he will not
visit the polo grounds and will have nothing
more to do with the clubs affairs.

In the language Of one of the Boston
players. Washington has q right good
team Of misits." but the latter put UP an
exhibition Of gilt-edsed ball playing ysstsr-
day afternoon which, should It be repeated
daily. would surely land the hitherto tail
enders In the position at the head Of the
list occupied by the Bean-eaters last
season.
1t was q beautiful contest, q game full OF
excitement and fauitess playing from start
to finish. Smiling Al Maui pitched for
Manager Schmelz's unknowns, and held
the visitors down to four hits. He made
three himself off Stivetts
Things looked gloomy for Washington at
the start. Lowe hit to left for a base,
Long waited for four bad balls. and then
Duffy batted a little one that caught Lowe
at third. Mccarthy proved an easy out to
Abbey, but Long stole third and scored
when Mcclure threw. to second. the ball
being badly returned. In the second Tucker
and Bannon walked to bases on balls. and
Camel followed with a single. three runs
being scored by reason Of q pitched ball
passing Mcclure, Selbach's hesitancy in
throwing hard-hit grounder, and Abbey's
failure to hold a fly from Longs bat.
Ciphers were drawn by the Bean-eaters
during the remainder of the game.
Washington was not at all disconnected
at this lead, but advanced to the plate In
the second smilingiy. MCGUIRE and Hasa
maear made singles. and afte- two were
out Maui knocked a double, scoring the
two men on bases. That ended the tally
Ing until the seventh, when Maui and Rad
ford hit for singles. Joyce sacrificed. and
Abbey took first on balls. Mcclure then
sent difficult one to Long. who, In his
eagerness to beat the runne. to first, threw
too low and Maui scored. A moment later
Radford and Hasamaear reached the plate
on Hasamaears single. One more was
Tebeau's sacrifice and a single by Maui.

An Explosion in the Drying House at

An Explosion In the Drying House at
the Torpedo Station in Newport.
There was another explosion at the tor
pedo station at Newport, r. l., Tuesday.
The very heavy report was heard in New
port and caused much excitement. 1t was
followed by a fire which attracted attention
from all parts of the bay. In what is called
the Ditch" over to the western side of the
island was a small shed building about
twenty feet square.
1t was of wood and Its walls were merely
boards nailed upon uprghts. The building
was known as a gun cotton drying house
and was used for the drying of gun cotton
to be used in the manufacture of smok. less
powder This gun cotton is in powder form,
and when dry Is easily carried upon the at
mosphere and lodges itself in crevices. The
building Is heated by steam to tempera-
ture of about 30 or 100 degrees. and the 90
degree mark Of heat was reached and prob
ably existed at the time of the fire and ex-
plosion.
Two boys, Enoch Nordling and James
Lynch. who sift and dry the gun cotton
were at their work In the building when
they saw the fire about the floor. They ran
for their lives and escaped. The fire soon
afterward must have communicated TO a
bin containing about forty or fifty pounds
Of the gun cotton powder.
the roof was lifted Off, and the windows
In building near by were broken, but as
the building was in an isolated place no
serious damage was done beyond the walls
of the shed itself The fire was due to
spontaneous combustion in the gun cotton,
and the explosion was due to the fire.
This is the fourth explosion or serious &C
cident at the station within q year. By
ISLANDERS say the roof was raised in one
piece. AS soon as the fire was observed the
hre alarm at the station was sounded, and
the men quickly responded In the ruins is
