THE HEASEATERs WON.
But the Senators Put Up q Good Game
OF HALL Saturday.

But the Senators Put TIP q Good Game
OF HALL Saturday.
The game played Saturday between the
Senators and Bostons. in which the latter
wen after a hard contest by the score OF
Z to G, was as fine a contest as any base
bah fan would desire to witness. Ii exhi-
bitiors like this would be given every day.
instead of coming in spots, the local pat
re ms would have no kick &C m ne. OF course,
more enjoyment would have been added to
the game had the Senators won: but after
losing three straight to the Baltimore
rowdies and hoodlums, there was consid-
cradle satisfac ton over the fact that such
a gentlemanly lot of players as the Bos-
tens are should be the victors. Reilly dis
covered after Fridays game that the fore
finger of his left hand was broken, and
Wrigley replaced him at third in Satur-
days game, OBrien coming back into the
game at second. Both tfese men put UP an
excellent game, taking care of everything
that came their way. Wrigley especially
having several hard plays that he pulled
off in the most enjoyable style.
McJames was on the rubber for the
Washingtons, and had his command Of the
ball been a little more secure a victory
would have gone to his credit without q
doubt. Six bases on balls and one hit bat
ter were the imperfec tions that marred: his
good work, as they were all costly. Such
good stickers as Duffy and Stivetts admit
ted that they never saw such curve as
the doctor was serving. the quick break Of
the ball in front of the plate fooling them
completely.
Charley Nichols did the twirling for the
Beaneaters. and although he had complete
mastery Of the ball. he was hit hard in the
early part of the game. After the fourth
inning he was invincible, but two hita be-
Ing made In the last five innings.
Neither side scored in; the first inning but
in the second the visitors secured two runs
as a result Of Bergen being. hit with thss
ball and Nichols home run into tina bleach
ers. In the third the Senator'S tied the
score. owing to De Mont's nice single intg
loft center and McGuire's home run-a du.
plicate Of Nichols. htf. Boston made three
in this inning. Allen, Duffy and Stahi were
passed to first on balls, the former scoring
on Collins short single, and the latter two
coming home ON De Mont,a error.
At this time the game looked cinchetf
for the Bostons, but during their turn at
the bat In the fourth the Senators chased
four runs over the plate; and the visitors
were confronted with quits o problem to
solve to win the game. Abbey singled to
center. and went to third on WrigJey's hit
to right, and then home on Browns single
to right. With Wrigiey and Brown on the
bases. Selbach sent corlcer into left CEN
ter FIR three bases, and the latter came
home on De M0nts out From this on II

THE GREEN-wALCOTT FIGHT.
Sporting Fraternity Disturbed by q
Report of Green's Poor Condition

SAN FRANCISCO. August 2.-The sport-
ing fraternity is tnoubled over a rumor that
George Green is not in condition to fight
Joe Walcott. The fight between them is
considered the best on the card at the
present time. Green alleges that he has
sore hand. and is, therefore. in position
to beg for some consideration. There
seems to be no reason why he should not
be all right by the time the fight comes on
nearly three weeks from now.
The fight between Spider Kelly and
Jack Everhardt next Wednesday night Ia

Saturday last the Washington crfcketers
journeyed to Baltimore and met in friendly
contest the members Of the Baltimore club
on the Mt. Washington grounds. The game
had hardly begun when heavy shower of
rain stopped play for some time and made
the wicket very dead. Upon resuming
some excellent batting was displayed by
Glenn and Atkinson, and when 166 had
been scored the home team declared the
innings closed. The visitors were disposed

island was fairly dry in all parts. We,
however, gave the ship all next day to
get rid of her water and harden in the
hot sun. You are prepared to hear,
Of course. that she proved to be the
long lost Star of India. We found that
ont before we had beer aboard of her
quarter Of an hour, and later on we
had a dozen reasons for believing that
the dying Malay had spoken the truth.
l tell you that ship was a queer sight.
Her ocean bed had been hundreds of
feet deep and the mud covered every
thing to the depth of foot-in some
places two or three. Neither one of us
had heard of the Star Or her loss. but
we knew this wreck to be that of an
lndiaIman. and we went at it to clear
away the stuff and get into her. We
were q full week doing this, and at
every turn we came across evidences
to prove the story of the Malay. Three
or four of her guns were yet in place.
and from the way she had been knocked
about by cannon shot it was easy to
figure that she had made a hard fight
and suffered great loss of life before
she gave in.
Even before we began work we found
the augur holes bored in her bottom 10
scuttle her. The great cabin and every
state room had two feet of mud on the
floor and l may tell you that we
worked hard for four weeks before we
got the hulk cleaned out. In the mud
and among the mold and rot we found
rusty muskets, pistols, swords, pieces
OF jewelry, cutlery, crockery, glassware
found only sovereigns. A part of
the cargo had been wool, but we got
nothing whatever of value out of it.
Indeed, when our work had been fin
ished, we simply had big hulk rest
ing on land a mile from the beach and
were only five gold pieces better off
than before. The pirates had swept
her clean of treasure, plundering the
passengers before numbering them,
and we did not find in cabin or state
room so much as a single bone of hu-
man anatomy. We made the ship our
home for six months Gnd were then
taken off by whaler, and our story
was the first news received of the long
lost ship. The English government
sent a man-of-war to the island to over
haul the hulk, and mementoes of her
have long been on exhibition in the
British museum. Nothing could be
more queer than the way we found her
In chn
by the sea to be discovered. From
soundings made to the east of the
island in 1S67-6S it was estimated that
the great ship rose from depth of
over 1000 feet. Nothing but an earth
quake could have lifted her from that
depth-nothing but a tidal wave held
her up and swept her to our feet.
