This is the day that has been looked for
ward 60 with intense Interest by hundreds,
for the tournament at Marshall Hal is
taking place at last. A big crowd went down
on the two steamers this morning and reach
ed the Hail In time for the fitting, which be-
gan promptly at noon. The grounds are fill

whole place presents the gayest sort of a
scene Tonight upon the arrival OF the even

ball To close the day and make a fitting
end TO the merriment a magnificent display

Every one is enjoying the day Immensely,
every one is in the best of huuor and every
one is glad such an opportunity for pleas
antouting has been afforded by the tourna-
nlent. The five leading knights are to come
IN for all the entrance fees OF all the con-
testants, together with S75, which has been

In past years these tournaments at the

SWAIN COT POOR SUPPORT
All Kinds Of Errors Give q
Game to Cincinnati.
STATESMEN HAD YELLOWRINA
Brown Failed TO Get Under Fly,
Farrell, Fox and Wrigley Made
Errors and Ii Was All Over-The
Senator's and Reds Will Try 1t
Again This Afternoon.

When '.Cy" Swain walked TO the rubber
day in the first engagement in this city
between the Statesmen and Reds he was
greeted with applause, because everybody
expected to see the home team win, and
it can truthfully be said that IL the rest
Of the wearers of the toga had performed
their duty as we'll as the lengthy twiIier
victory would have been credited to
Washington instead OF defeat. His fel-
lows were guilty Of an even half-dozen
errors which were charged in the
score and several which could not be
charged against the offenders. They were,
however, of such color as to rival the
clories of the setting sun as il sank to
rest in the or adle of the occident.
Farrell, Fox aud wngley divided the
SIX errors between them, the usually reli-
able backstop heiig apparently affected
with the strong ann, and the way the
Duke fired the sphere TO second and third
was a caution. Charley did get In a beau'
tifuI throw TO second, but the Coopers-
town bay fell down on the chance by
failing to hold the ball.
The fix ball that fell safe i'm front of
Brown was really the cause Of the loss
ur the game by washin gton, and although
it may be that the hall got tangled In
the rays of the sun the captain OF the
team acted very much as though he
thought il would not make any difference
il he waited for tle sphere to come to
him on the bound instead OF trying for
one of his usual catches, as two men were
cut and the third man would no doubt be
easy
Small wonder Is IL that the Ewircftes
only got twelve hits with such miserable
support.
With Breitenstein Il was different. The
Titian-haired Teuton was accorded good
support by the men behind him, and al.
though the wacnerites landed on his de-
livery for fourteen safe drives, only six
runs we're sco:ed Lv the Senators, due
10 good work on the part of the Reds and
poor coaching and stupid hase-running
ON the part Of tie Statesmen.
Everybody Was not off. Selbach, Gett-
man, Tucker and VAIN did all that was
asked Of them, while DeMontreville ac-
ceated every fielGing chance, but failed
10 make a hit. Swain did the most timely
hating for the Wagnerites, while "Old
Eage Eye" Beckiey led the Reds in that
respect, making -four hits off Hillary, one
q home run into the heachers.
This Afternoon the same teams play
again. Dr. McJames will probably pitcn
for the Senators and Rhines for the Reds.
