tecOrd of the Clubs.

1t was an even thing between the Sena-
tors and the Cincinnati Reds in their dou
bie-header yesterday, the Senators taking
the first game by a score of 3 to 1 and the
Reds the second by a score of 10 to &. Ba-
ker who is facial understudy for Tim
Hurst. pitched his second league game and
demonstrated again that he is a twirler of
more than ordinary ability. He held the
visitors down to five hits, four singles and
a double, allowing the Cincinnati men to
score but one run. Had Gatans held Nc
Brides liner in the third inning the visit
ors would have been shut out. Corcorans
single put Algie on third, and he scored
on an error of Gatans. Reitz's double an
out, and Farrelfs single gave the Senators
a run in the opening inning, and in the
filth they scored another on Elmer Smiths
mun of the other Smiths fly Gettmans
single and Woods bad throw to catch Jake
at second. Their third run was scored in
the following inning on Selbachs triple to
left center and Farreus single to center
Breitenstein pitched good ball for the Reds,
but not quite good enough to win, the
senators securing six singles, triple and
a double off the authenticated twirler.
Inc second game was marked by hard
hitting on both sides, Hawley being touched
up Tor eight singles, triple and three dou-
bles, while but one single was made off
Dammann, who replaced him in the eighth
inning. Williams, who was backed up by
little Casey, was hit for ten singles and
four doubles. The Senators scored a run
in the third and fourth innings and the
KEGS sent three men across the plate in
the fourth and three more across in the
sixth In the first half of the seventh the
senators tied the score off five hits and G.
pass. Had Williams then been replaced
the nome people might have added an
9ther game to their won" column, but

A STEAM FERRY.
Promoters of Yacht Ferry Will At
tempt to Get a Franchise to Run a
Steam Ferry in Opposition to the
Present Ferry - Other Benwood
Notes.

The ferry boat has much difficulty
these days in forcing its way through
the heavy ice which fills the river.
Yesterday the boat made trip every
forty-fve minutes and when landing
on the Benwood side could not get
within thirty or forty feet of the Shore.
The passengers were compelled 10
walk over the ice from the boat to the
shore and climb the bank. Conse-
quently no vehicles or horses could be
taken across. This state of affairs will
probably continue for several days at
least.
George Montgomery has not yet Sc
cured a franchise from the Marshall
county court to operate his yacht
ferry. His yacht now lies ice-bound on
the Bellaire shore. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Montgomery scheme now is
to apply for a steam ferry franchise
instead of for yacht ferry. He is
said to be backed in this enterprise by
august oSudu, III bCuWOOu
citizen, and property owner. Mr..
Montgomery says that the change in
bis plans was made on account of the
opposition of the bridge and present
ferry company.
