Boston won two games yesterday, and
thereby gets q nice lead on the Baltimore
birds. As consequence, the Baltimore
papers are beginning to cry hippodrome
claiming that several clubs are throwing
games to the Beaneaters. This claim looks
childish. when 1t IL considered that the
Bostons are playing almost perfect bail and

HanlOn's Denial.

Manager Hanlon of the Baltimores last
night said positively that he had no idea of
managing the Philadelphia club next year
He said he had been occasionally sounded
in diplomatic way as to whether he would
take charge of the Philadelphia by per-
sons not directly connected with the owner
ship, but no direct offer or negotiations
had ever been limited at by Reach or
Rogers.
Mr.. Hanlon further said that they would
have to bid pretty high to induce him to
leave Baltimore. where he has a valuable
interest in the club, and his relations with
Won Der Horst are pleasant So far as
the season of 1898 is concerned, he is q
fixture in Baltimore.

RAIN STOPS TENNIS TOURNEY.
Little Doubt That Wrenn VIII Win
Cham piOnship.

NEWPORT, r. l., August A.-There was
little prospect that any tennis matches
would be played at the Casino today, owing
to a heavy northeast rain storm deluging
the courts Although the uncertain wealth.
er may change, the courts will be too slip
perry for any play without half dozen
hours sunshine.
The matches between the two English
men, Nisbet and Eaves in the national
tournament finals must wait for better
conditions There Is possibility that the
winner may offer to play the championship
match with Wrenn after the final is finish
ed tomorrow. if it is fair weather The
committee Will Lot make any such REQUEST
but as both Nisbet and Eaves nave fire.
Quently played two important matches in
one day. and they are both anxious to
return home. such an offer from either
would not be surprising.
There seems TO be little anxiety felt for
the safety of the championship trophy.
Wrenn is in the very best condition, and
as he has been playing in very nearly his
top form. there seems to be almost abso-
Lutte confidence in his ability to prevent
either Of the Erglishmen from carrying 1t
away.
Crack sprInters From the West.

NIsBET DEFEATED LARNED.
biggest Surprise of the Newport
Tournament.

tournament.
The biggest surprise Of the tennis tour
nament, and. in fact, of the whole tennis
season, was the defeat yesterday at New
port Of William A. Larned, the acknowl-
edged leader of the game in this country
by Hugh A. Nisbet of England In the semi
final round of the all-comers' tournament
for the national championship. With the
match well in hand, by two sets to love-
with the score five games to four in his
favor in the third set, Larned was twice
within one point necessary for the match
In both cases he drove into the net and at
last Nisbet took the necessary game to
make it five ALL Again in this set I4arned
was within two points of winning the
match. but could not quite reach 1t. Such
exasperating playing was only a repetition
in his match with Bob Wrenn, and it is
this very uncertainty that makes his game
an agonizing one to witness.
The weather conditions were distinctly
English for a misty northeaster blew over
the courts previous to the match, and made
the turf slippery and uncertain. Both play
ers FELL and Larned lost the deciding point
in the fourth set by sliding on the grade

THE MAsKERg REvELRY
Rich Costumes and Some Odd Com
binations

The queen and her court gazed upon
anachronism and funny combinations Of
people and things last night, that
amounted to absolute indiscretion at
times. Courtiers to George III were
dancing with extremely fin-de-sieclc
flower girls; Mephisto whispered soft
nothings into the ear of demure and
pious nun; Gretchen hobnobbed with
Punchinello; Chinese mandarin led the
belle of the ball. dainty French shep-
herdess, up to the punch bowl, and Car
men smiled upon Falstaff without seri'
Gus result, and the yellow kid showed
unexpected but irrepressible affection
for a dainty American beauty rose; but
when a colonel of the United States army
launched out into deux-temps with
Otero. and Uncle Sam himself boldly
engaged in the open enjoyment of
dance with little Egypt the queen called
a halt and the signal for unmasking was
given. Among the large numbers o.
maskers on the floor were the following.
whose costumes, for one reason or an
other, were particularly worthy of no.
tice. All were handsome. most of them
accurate and many unique.

costumes being the colors of pink, laver-
