Games lost

After quiet rest of two days, enjoying
a nice little nap. Manager Weiss men
were themselves again yesterday, ana
from the jump opened up on Eddie Ames'
who has been a winning pitcher this
season. and hammered him hard. The
game was fast, clean, and pretty. abound
ing in exciting WORK and sensational Gil
makes. 1t was refreshing to see how the
Richmond club got back into the game
and played the ball they are capable OF.
Ames went In with confidential ar
and it made the rooters feel uneasy until
the Bluebirds commenced work, and then
a feeling of comfort and ease settled over
the grandstand and bleacheries. and the
crowd settled back to enjoy the sport.
Otis Stocksdale pitched for Richmond
and added another leaf to his laurel
wreath. Since the big fellow joined the
club this season he has done splendid
work, but yesterdays game was decided
w the best he has ofIiciated in this year.
He held the enemy down to three hits,
neither Of which would have counted for
ANYTHING. He was cool as a collector lis
tening to a tale of woe, and had speed
enough to break a plank in the grand
stand.

WORKED HARD BUT GOT LITTLE.

Hartford worked hard, but without
much good 1t could be seen plainly that
the Richmond club was itself. and out
PLAYING the Connecticut men. During the
entire game but thirty-one men faced
Stocksdale. and but three times did they
leave a man on base. The one run that
went TO their credit was made on an eX-
cusable error by HargrOve. Doherty had
reached first, by forcing Purvis out at
second. when Roach hit to centre. Har-
grove stopped the drive. but owing TO
the slippery ground, lost control OF the
ball, and let it get away from him. Do
herty ran home and Roach reached Sc
cond. Roach went 10 third on an out,
and. with the exception Of Doherty who
was left on first in the fourth inning,
was the only man TO be safe on a bag
during the rest Of the game.
Charley Gutenberg led the hitting, ana
did nice work in his position. Leahy and
Klopf did excellent duty around the mid
die of the diamond. and a catch by KlopI
was the feature of the game. Gus Dun
don made two pretty pick-ups and neat
catch Of a foul fly. Umpire Jack Brennan
made his appearance, after an absence
of two years I'm Texas. and umpired
splendid game. He made the play fast
and his decisions were good and-prompt.
This is the score:

HOW THE GAME RAN.

The game started promptly on time,
with Hartford in the field and Richmond
at bat. Their Eddie Ames commenced 10
pitch. Gus Klopf, the first man up, drew
a pass TO first on balls, and Dan Leahy
drove a grounder TO Childs who slipped
uD and fell down, but recovered in time
TO throw Dan out at first. Purvis threw to
third, catching Gus, thus making a dou-
bic. Two men we're out. ana the iooters'
hearts were in their boots. Charley Luz
tenberg came up and smashed the sphere
TO right for a single, and then the fun
commenced. Big Ralph Seybold, with his
little bat, caught ore Of Eddie'S curves
and sent it over TO the clubhouse for
two bases. scoring Lutte" Hargrove
scored seybold with a single and wen,
to second on the throw in; Dunden scored
him with a neat single. and went TO third
on Kain's single, and both scored on
sam Vigneaux's drive for one base.
Stocksdale ended the inning by forcing
wig" out on second, with an easy
crounder to short-stop. All nine men went
TO bat with the result Of five runs and
six hits.
The locals kept up their hitting all
| through the game. and did nice bit OF
base-running. In the second inning three
hits came around, but no runs resulted
! and the third was a blank also. In the
| fourth Klopf got a single and scored
on Lutenberg's twO-bagger to centre, the
| fifth. sixth, and seventh resulted IN
! blanks. and in the eighth Stocksdale' who
reached first on a small hit, was scored
/ by hits by Klopf and Gutenberg. The
ninth was q blank

THE DOCK SCANDALS.
CIVIL ENGINEER MENOCAL TO DE
TRIED by A COURT MARTIAL.
lie Is Accused OF Cu1pnblc NcEli-
gence nnd Neglect of Duty--Col-
fusion May Also he Charged.

| New York January 27.--Two specific
| charges upon which Civil Engineer Menocal
is to be tried by court martial next month
have already been drawn by the judge adj
yocate general OF the navy, the substan
tia;ion Of either involving dismissal from
the service.
Tho first is that of culpable negligence,
says the Washington correspondent cf the
Tribune, IN the performance of duty, under
which fall ut least ten specifications, every
one of them fortified by the most damaging
eyiaence. The second charge so FAR iormu-
lated Is that of neglect of duty. ana under
this at least a dozen instances are apeaitleu.
They relate TO the denonstrable gross
frauds practiced directly under the inspec-.
ton OF Mr. Merocal, not on occasions when
he was temporarily absent from the scene
Of operations or when Il subordinate was
filling the inspectors place; not when Mr..
Menocal was In Florida nor during any OF
his frequent visits to New York City. but
when, it is asserted. he was in direct charge
Of dock construction and actually Witness
ing the progress of the contractor
The efforts of the naval legal authorities,
however, have not ended With drawing The
fist charges with their specifications and
eollating the testimony to secure convc-
ton. Assistant Judge Advocate Lochheim-
Ell. who has been III Brooklyn working up
the case and examining the evidence dug
out of tie mud by Contractor Bowies. has
fully another month to complete his IRE
sentation for the prosecution and it is
strongly intimated that before that period
expires he will charge collusion between
the government inspectors anl the con-
tractors.
So far. while no charge OF collusion has
been formally presented to Secretary Long |
several ugly facts have been brought to !
light which would merit severer measures
than those yet threatened.
Secretary Long says ne supposes Menocal |
will hurry away from Nicaragua without |
any DELAY. and thinks 10 should arrive in
New York by the middle of February. AS
the accused man will undoubtedly wish to
examine the charges. and. on account of |
their gravity. go over them with his attor-
neys before the trial begins, the tirst sit
ting OF the court martial may be postponed |
until March 1 but not day later than that
will be permitted
Regarding the efforts now in progress to
repair the damages and render the dock
to the government. Secretary
Long is most hopeful that the huge struc-
ture will be ready for the battleshlps when
they return north next spring
There will probably be no congressional
Investigation of the dock scandal: certainly
rot before the termination of the court
martial. Which the secretary has been able
10 convince members Of congress will be a
drastic proceeding throughout.

General Pando's army Is still along the
banks of the cautu river and strongly en-
trenched, but is unable TO assume the ag-

General Gomez shows no signs OF taking
the field and conducting an active cam

short of cavalry and can not operate sue

plenty &C horses. Al this rate the war In
tho East can last for years. In Western

well on tho move. bur neither side has
achieved decisive results.
General Molina had what Is called here
an important battle with the rebel gem
