The Senators dropped the first game of the
series at Brooklyn yesterday, the Bride
grooms winning by the score of to 1 after
a battle Of eleven innings.
Dunn was on the rubber for the home
club. and he had the visitors guessing
throughout the contest. Several times the
Washingtons would have runners on first
or second, but the necessary hit to advance
them toward home was not forthcoming
But six safe hits were secured by the Sena-
tors. Capt Tom Brown getting two of
these, one being two-bagger. Mercer was
on the rubber and pitched a better game
than the score indicates, the eleven singles
secured by the Brooklyns being widely
scattered, and except in the eleventh inn
ing, amounted to nothing.
Neither side got a runner across the
home plate in the first four innings. but IN
the fifth the Trolley Dodgers broke the
ice, one tally being placed to their credit.
Catcher Grim hit into left for two bases
and went to third on Wrigleys tumble of
hard hit grounder, and then home when
Germany" Smith hammered a nice single
into center.
Neither side scored in the sixth, but in
the lucky seventh the Washingtons tied
the score. De Montreville opened up well
with single to left, but was forced by
pasted a slow one into right field for two
bases, chasing Farrell to third. The latter
then scored the tying run on O'Brien's out
to Jones on fly in right.
Four innings went by for the Senators
without a run being made. and three for
the Brooklyns. when the latter came up
for their last turn at the bat in the elev
enth. George Schcch. the old Washington
player, started the funeral march with a
fine double into left center. and the burial
of the Senators was completed when Grim
soaked pretty singleiinto left scoring the
old Washington player.

From Ha-per's Round Table
The Paris Herald, judging from the Off
cial returns Of the gun practice in the Eng
ilsh navy for 1896. concludes that there is
room for Improvement in the training of
laval guLners. The return in question deals
with tine performances of one hundred and
one ships of all types. from battle ships to
gunboats. and furnishes record of the
number of hits made by each vessel when
carrying out what is known in the navy as
prize firing.
This is an annual competition, for the
purposes of which special targets are util-
lied. and only actual hits are recorded in
favor of the narksmen. These targets are
stationary, and the ships steam round
them at about eight knots speed, the range
varying considerably. but easilyzto be tie-
termined by shots from the smaller quick
firing guns
II must be confessed that the firing was
extremely inaccurate in some of the British
ships. and more especially with the guns
Of large caliber. One battle ship fired sew
enteen rounds from her Finch gun with
out scoring a hit another sixteen rounds
with similar result while the worst case
was that of battle ship which scored only
two hits out of seventy-three rounds from
guns of all types.
ON the other hand. the Barfieur made
forty-five per cent of hits with her 10-inch
guns, and the Imperieuse 0he best ship of
The fleet for the year, scored 81 per cent Of
hits with her large guns and e. per cent
with her 6-inch guns.

much success. The first and second sets
were both easy for the American, but after

seemed to slack off little, just as Eaves

While the other two matches were in
progress the big crowd had surged around
Larned's court. and the way he was beat
ing the Irish expert just tickled them. The
applause for the Americans brilliant
strokes was almost continuous and when
he pulled out of the second set, making
the last point on a most brilliant pass from
the base line by Mahony at the nSt, the
round Of cheers that greeted the American
showed more enthusiasm than any of the
other matches had produced.
LarneA Bests Mahony.
Throughout the first set, the American
kept just one game ahead of Mahony,
and he seemed to hold him safe from the
start. The awkward but effective style Of
the visitor excited much comment, and
more than one of the spectators laughed
when he made one of his ungainly back
hand Side-line passes, but when they saw
1t strike the line and the white dust fly up
they opened their mouths in surprise and
did not laugh again. Over and over again,
the Irishman curved the ball in from out
side of the edge of the court and IL
just landed of Larned's side-line after
passing him safely at the net.
But the Americans persistent net tactics
were too much for the visitor, and he made
many clever smashes Of apparently safe
returns. 1t was pretty tennis all the way
through, and as scientific as any seen
tereabouts for many years. After Larned
Ead taken the frst set, Mahony made a.
spirited brace and soon scored a lead in
the second of four games to two As usual.
Larned was equal to the occasion, however.
and he pulled himself together and took
the next two games after deuce had been
called in each. Then the foreigner got "a
but again the American came back and tied
the score once more, and ran out the set
with the next two games. giving him two
sets to love.
The last set was shorter than either of
those preceding. Larned led of with a
lead Of Al. and Mahony seemed 10 have
lost heart He made a short struggle and
pulled up two games. but then the Ameri-
can expert took two close deuce games. and
the set and match were his. This was the
deciding match of the day. and Larned's
success gave the victory to the American
