The WashiugtoDs start the week with
the Orioles as the opposing tCam. 1t will
be the only game on the home grounds for
some time.
Ii cannot be taken as a forGgone concls
sion that the BaltiIneres will win, because
the Senators have shown quite a reversal
Of form.
The playing OF the Statesmen has been
Of such an excelleDtscharacter the last four
games that the many thousand cranks
hope the hoodoo Monday spell viii be
broken and that the Orioles viii be an
easy prey.
With steady, hard work IN the field and
with clear eyes and good judgment at the
bat II is an even money chance that the
Senators will win the game.
THREE GAMES IN NEW YORK.
Tomorrow they open in New York for
three games and there is every reason to
believe that they win end the series with
the same result as during last week, if
not better. The Giants are not in good
shape, and as their pitchers are easy the
percentage Of the home team is likely to
be increased, and the lead OF the New Yorks
correspondingly lessened.
On Friday they go TO the Hub for three
days and then TO Brooklyn for like num-
Der Of games, returning home OH Friday,
August l6, opening with Baltimore.
The Senators are in fair condition. An
derson and Boyd have been doing good
work in the box, and if MERGERS last game
is fair sample of what he is able to do
since rounding to, the club has three good
twiriers.
Malarky does not seem to be doing well
1t is said that Mcclure does not want to
catch him. and as Coogan is in reasonably
good condition, il may be that the young
collegiate catcher can hold him. Such
being the case, the ex-Virginia League
pitcher may yet be of some service to
SchmeIz.
Mauls arm is not in pitching shape, and
the management is doing a wise thing in
letting the father OF the twirlers have the
rest that is SO essential, not only to aged
people, but to all hard working pitchers.
SHOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHER.
Schiebeck plays with the vim of a race
horse that has been fixed to win race. He
handles himself better than last year, and
had he not been farmed out and had less
experimenting been done, the Senators
would have been above the 500 mark in
percentage.
The other outfielders are playing in the
pink of fineness, and Crooks and Cart
wright are putting up great game. The
outfield has not played that game which
should characterize an excellent outfield.
er's work. However, the team has been
very unfortunate in losing when the out
fielders dropped a fly or allowed grounder
10 get away from them.
II the Senators win as many games as
they lose on the trip, beginIrng tomorrow
no crank will say aught But should they
come back with more victories than de-
feats large crowd will give them joyous
welcome.
Play well, Senators, and the good wishes
of thousands of fans are with you.

tue senators winning from New York and
baltimore was the excellent work of the
LoulsViiles, they winning five consecutive
games, defeating the st. Louis and then
Cincinnati in hollow style.
Inc Colonels have increased their per-
ceptage slXty-oDe points, and on Saturday
evening We're seyenty-two points behind the
browns, VINO the week previous led them by
16S points.
st. Louis dropped twenty-five points and
IL is quite prCbab BILE that during the coming
week they viii continue on their Slide as
they are not IN good form and will tackle
clubs way up in the first division. Louis
vile VIII also go up against strong clubs
but they are In excellent condition and are
hitting the ball hard.
BROOKLYN has taken jump, going around
Philadelphia, and S now i'll seventh place,
with o43 percentage. They gained ten
points.

percentage OF 520, and this mornings stand
Ing shows loss of seven points They
practically made the best showing in the
west or any Eastern club and their VIC
tory over the Senators in the first game la st
Tuesday gave them much hope. Two de-
featS followed, and they went away from
Washington crestfallen, only to have their
ambition crushed to q greater extent by
the Brookiyns
The Quakers are now eighth Last
Monday they We're seventh with a per
centage of 534 four points less than their
present percentage.
The ex-champions, Bostons, have had q
rather severe time of it during the week
Starting last Monday with $40 percentage
and standing fourth in the race, they ended
the week IN sixth place, with 557 per
centage, loss OF eighteen points.
The Clevelands yesterday morning Were
first by very narrow margin-one point
over their desperate rivals, the Pirates,
with whom they have had several encount-
ers recently. The Spiders fell off sixteen
points. The Pittsburgs also suffered a
loss in percentage Of eight points.
The Orioles are still third, and by rea-
son OF the fact that both Cleveland and
Pittsburg lost, they have come up closer,
although gaining only point.
Anson's Colts have pranced around in
lively manner and jumped in fourth posi-
ton from sixth, gaining twenty points,
and are now within thirty-four points OF
the leaders.
Ewing's Reds are still in fifth place, hav-
ing increased their percentage three points.
The Pirates have been playing up-to-
date bah all the week.

Chauncey and GraysOn, of the cadets. then
entertained the audience with few dras
matte recitatIons. The "RavinEs Of John
Mccullough, the Tragedian," rendered by.
Mr.. Chauncey, was especially good. He was
completely carried away with his works
and held his audience spellbound for sew
eral minutes The balance Of the even kDgs
was spent IN singing and storytelling. =
About I l o'clock light repaSt was served. +;
The party then broke up and MeSsrs. Cole

PREPARED FOR THE BATTLE
Raedy and Mcmillan Ready for
Their Contest at the Eureka.
Howard Wilson VIII BE One of Pats
Seconds-Ted Alexander VIII Help
Look After Mcmillan.

When Pat Raedy and Billy Mcmillan step
into the arena OF tie Eureka Athletic Club
tomorrow night they will each do so with
the determination, if possible TO win the
championship OF the District Raedy claims
the championship Of the Southern States
and OF Northern Ohio, but whether Nc
MILAN will also lay claim to this much ter
Iitory in case he should be victorious, it is
hard to say He certainly is, however,
very anxious for championship honors and
will put up the fight of his life
Raedy has record OF which any man
who is not among the upper ten might be
proud. He has met and defeated some of
the best men at bis weight in the South His
battles cover large territory as he has
Travelled from Canada to Florida and from
Boston to Texas in search of fame Re-
Gently he went to Ohio, where he added
few scalps TO his belt, some of which Were
quite well known local men,
AT Jacksonville, Fla. he defeated Paddy
Ryan and Billy Cummings, both in two
rounds. AT St Augustine he put Dick
Roach out in one round, and in Texas he
put such good men ont as Tim Fogarty and
George Burke. Later. at Savannah, he
defeated Jack McRay in four rounds,
and then going TO Canada, easily disposed
OF George Brown and Ton Moore. In
Ohio he met and defeated Emmett John
son, Ed. Dillon, Cyclone Sweeny, and
Australian Arthur Walker, and fought
fifteen-round draw with Tom Kelly, the
Hoboken Cyclone.
While McMinan's record is hardly as
good as Raedy's,i nevertheless he is every
bit as shifty man, and has improved Won
derfully of late. Probably the best show
ing that he ever made was with Tommy
Ryan. He met Ryan al Roby, Ind. and
in the first round gave him a blow that
sent him 10 the fl5OT as cleanly knocked
out as ever a man was. He was out for
seventeen seconds. but the referee was
not on the level. and did not count him out
The gong was sounded and his seconds took
him to his corner. and sending him back
into the ring, he turned the tables and
knocked Mcmillan out.
MCMILLAN defeated Pete Lally, of Bal
timore, in twenty-one rounds and In his
most recent battle, which was with Nike
Raedy, put him 10 sleep in sixteen rounds.
George Northridge, OF this city, defeated
him in eighteen rounds, but Northridge had
quite an advantage over him in both height
and reach, il not in weight also. Mcmillan
has been training faithfully for his go at
Marlboro, Nd.
The men are to weigh in at ga pounds
at 2 O'Clock in the office of the Eureka
Athletic Club. The contest VIII begin about
9p. IN. and will no dou bt be before aCrowded
house, as the demand for tickets has been
very large. Howard Wilson, Arthur Walker,
of Australia and Tony Stannard win look
after Pat Raedy, while Mcmillan VIII be
attended by Hite Peckham, of Alexandria;
Ted Alexander, of Australia, and Prof.
John Roach.

ANAC0STIA MEMS.

Miss Lizzie Wllkerson, who has been WIS.,

street, has returned 10 her home in Bal
timore.
Mr. and Mrs J T. Powell, Of Rosecroft,
who have been i'll, are reported much i'm
proved.
Several matters of importance are
scheduled TO come up at the meeting Of
the Anacostia Citizens Aseo ociation, which
viii be held next Friday night. Among
them is the question OF inadequate police
protection. Another is the agitation for
conductors on the ADacostia cars, and the
garbage service viii also be brought TO
the attention Of the association.
The Commissioners have ordered the con-
struction OF a sewer on Harrison street,
between Bridge street and Fillmore street.
This is the result Of a long fight by the
Anacostia Citizens Association, and the
new drain viii run from the junction OF
Monroe and Bridge streets TO the re-
cenIy-constructed Fillmore street sewer,
thus doing away with the blind sewer
which has caused so much complaint.
Mr. and Mrs c. Frank Owen, of Mime
