Tile regular scheduled game between the

The Senators more than exceeded eypeC-
tationS in the games at PittSburg yesterday.
Not that the fans were parti Cula rly
pleased with the double-n figure score in the
morning game, which was the worse for
Washington, but as one game was conceded
TO the Pirates anyhow, and that the
Senators won from the great Ha wiley SO
handsomely in the second contest is the
basis for the assertion that expectancy
was more than met by Joyceis men on the
flodden fields around historic old For
Du Quesne.
Young Lacquer Jimmy MCJames had his
tribulatlOns i'll the fifth inning OF the first
neat, aud '-balled' the game UP so bad
tlat Lester German, III trying TO unwind
the iangle, made it worse and amid the
pot pourr Of hits and errors, allowed the
Smoked Italians TO get or with the
booty.
But al that, the Senators MADE a rally
toward the close that unnerved the Pirates
aud picked them as easy meat for tie
afternoon contest.

OF two pitchers, THOSE OF Mr. Emerson
Hawley and Mr.. Winfred Mercer These

New York's newspaper circle fur

About forty-five years ago Henry J.

Times. He was one Of the conspicu-
ously brilliant editors of his day. The
Times became famous-it was a noble
newspaper 1t was ardently republi
can. Its most famous exploit was the
exposure of the Tweed ring; indeed
that was one of the most distinguished
achievements in the history of Ameri-
can journalism.
Years ago. under painful circum-
stances, Mr.. Raymond died suddenly.
For a time afterward the Times en-
joyed an enviable reputation. under a
gifted news editor, for the accuracy Of
its political and election statistics. 1t
was the only prominent newspaper in
the East that. by figures, elected Sam
uel ]. Tilden to the Office of president
on the morning after the famous cleo
ton of 1876. and its figures carried
weight.
Later on, the Times was without
brilliant management, yet 1t held its
rank as an influential newspaper. Fin

way. A few weeks after the inaug-
uration of Mr.. Cleveland for his second
term. the Times declared itself an out
