Cincinnati, Ohio, July 1.-THE Sena-
tors have decided to break their spell of
resting and pick up a little coin on the
side. They VIII journey TO Maysville,
Ky, tomorrow and indulge in a little
exercise TO keep their muscle in trim
preparatory for the game on Saturday
The Maysville team, it VIII be remembered
a week or so ago defeated the Cincin-
natl team by a score Of . to 4 1t is
made up of well-paid players, picked up
from this city and Louisville, and is a
pretty stiff team to run up against
The Senators, after playing the game
and collecting the receipts therefrom, Will
journey back TO Cincinnati, get a good
nights rest, and go at the Cincinnatis
as IL il was all over. GlassCoCk viii join
the team at MaysviIle, but selbach will
come direct from Columbus tomorrow
night
II was a lazy lot of Washingtonians that
took supper at the Gibson House last even
ing. Some OF them took a quiet little shy
at the bang tails over at the Oakley track
while others, who care nothing for mans
best friend, wandered to the Zoo and were
Well pleased with the stock OF animals
MAUI GETS A SCARE.
When Prof. WomwOods performing dogs
were on Catcher Mcclure was inclined to
think the summersault dog would make a
good umpire, as he is a good, shifty one in
changing his position. Al Maui begged for
chance TO peep at the baby lions, but a
howl from The mother gave him a sudden
chill, it, sounded so much like Mcdonald
calling balls and strikes.
Manager Comiskey, of the st. Paul West
ern League team, was in town to-day. The
greater part OF the afternoon was spent
with j. Earl Wagner, and Connie" showed
him choice selection of green goods and
gold bricks
After dishing up a satchelfuI of statistics
! wagner was favorably inclined 10 ward max
! ing gCongressmenofS some of the Saints and it
VIII be no matter of surprise if some of
! Cumiskey's men are drafted al the end of
| the season, if not bought outright before
Comiskey has a choice collection in
| Catcher Berger, Pitcher johnson, and In
! fielder Camp, and their work is favorably
! commented on in every Western League
city. As President Wagner is willing to
| buy good minor league players ComiSkey
1 hopes to do business with him. BY the
way, Manager Comiskey to-day signed
Scott Stratton for his Saints.
MERCER WORTH A DOZEN REDS.
President Wagner said yesterday that
Mercer would be transferred TO Cincinnati
Said he: Take out Smith, McPhee, and
Latham from the team and / would not
give Mercer for the balance"
As Manager Ewing Will scarcely lay IL
to 1 the trade seems to be off, for time
at least. 1t was originally intended to Of
fer Parrott for Mercer and perhaps such
a deal may be broached later on
There is one team at least above Wash
ington which the Senators fondly expect
| to beat out. They locked pleased last even
ing when the score at Pittsburg was posted,
and stranger things than that have hap
| pened.
With the absence of Manager Schmelz,
anecdotes seem to be having the go-by.
When Gus is present the boys are never at
loss for a story, and when he and
Bancroft get together il is case of two
old soldiers. They viii spin yarns until
thecows come home.
1t is asserted that when Bancroft was
told by ]. Earl Wagner that he was to
back Tim Murphy in "A Texas Steer"
Bannie looked sorrowfully at Wag and
began whistling II Want 10 Be an Angel"
Cartwright was on Race street to-day
