The Senators went down before the Pitts
burg Pirates yesterday to the tune of to
3, Killen and Tannehill being the opposing
twirlers. 1t was a hard game in more than
one sense for killen to lose, for he desired,
above all other things, to defeat his former
associates, and for seven innings he held
them down to one scratch hit not run
resulting.
Killen up to the eighth inning never
pitched finer ball, and the Senators had
meantime placed three runs to their credit
a sbut-out for the visitors seemed the most
probable of all things; but poor support
lost the game.
Clark led off in the eighth inning with
single to center, and Padden followed with
fly to left, which should have been an
easy out. Donovan, however lost the ball
and the hit went to Padden's credit as a
double, Clark reaching third Bowerman
shot hot one at Mercer which got away
from him. and on which Clark scored and
Padden went to third. Ely sent Padden
nome and Bowerman TO third with a dou-
bic TO right center. Tannehill was first
put on a fly to Smith, but Pittsburg Dono-
van sent a fly to short center, Anderson
allowing it to pass when he slipped and
1el: Bowerman scored. O'Briens single to
center sent Ely in and Donovan to third,
the latter scoring on McCarthy's drive past
heltz- Grays out at first put OBrien
home, and Donovan's misjudgment of
Clark's fly resulted in a triple Mccarthy
going home. Padden closed the inning with
a fly TO Anderson. Neither side scored in
the last inning.

The LadrOne Islands,


A perfectly direct line drawn from San
Francisco TO Manila passes through the
Ladrone group. Honolulu lies some dis
tance south of that line. Nevertheless, a
direct line from Honolulu to Manila also
passes through the Ladrone group. The
Ladrones extend from north 10 south tn a
row 400 or 800 miles long, and are usually
said to comprise about twenty islands.
They lie directly north of the Caroline
sloup. which it will also be our duty t7
claim and protect, and they are perhaps
1,JD miles from Manila and $500 from
Honolulu. They have a population Of only
500 or lo,V00, the natives being akin 10
those of the Philippines. They are small
ISLANDS. but by no means insignificant; for
their total area is usually set down as
about 80 square miles. They are OF con-
siderable commercial Importance.
They have a varied Topography with
fall. and they are extremely productive.
Under improved methods of government
and agriculture, such as the United States
would easily Introduce. the already import-
ant exports of the Ladrones would be very
rapidly increased. They are exceedingly
salubrfous. and would yield large supplies
OF products. both of the temperate zone
ana OF the tropics, under American ex-
ploitation. A Greet cable line to NaaiIa
would naturally lind hating place at
San Ignacio de Agana. which is the capiiaI
of the Islands, and is situated on the largest
Of the group, Guajan, which is OF a
rounded contour and thirty or forty miles

NATIONAL CRoaUET TOURNEY.
Strong and VALLEY Are Tied for the
Championship.

There was no opportunity yesterday in
the croquet tourney, at Norwich, Conn,
for Duryea and Strong to play Van Wickle
medal games as all their time was needed
on tournament games. The great contests,
of course, we're Strong and Duryea, Wah-
ley and Strong. In the former Duryea won
the lead and he continued until both balls
we're for the cage coming home. Then
Strong made one of his famous caroms and
Duryea never again got them. While he
had two shots where caroms were pos
sitle, he did not count, and Strong soon had
both balls against the stake. This took
Duryea out of the championship fight and
left it for Wahley to tie Strong. They
started with Wahley getting the lead and
setting them up for the next player, and
was decidedly surprised when Strong
caromed on single ball and capturing it
ran over with his blue. But Wahley was
undaunted and soon he made a beautiful
carom and was thence inVincfble, as he
never gave Strong another opportunity, and
by thus winning the championship was
left to be determined by Strong and Wah-
ley playing off today.
Apgar regained his form and won three
games during the day, making the circuit
of the ground with Sisson and winning
easily. In the second division the play
will be needed to decide. Bryant, Cooper
and Rogers are all possible winners, their
scores on lost games being three each.
Bryant however, has seemingly the better
chance of success. In the third division
Wahley, Bard and Crosby tied for third
place, each winning seven and losing two.
Then came the play-off and Bard defeated
Crosby without the latter getting an arch.
Crosby next played Wahley and defeated
him. Then Wahley and Bard tried con-
clusiops again. At the annual meeting the
rules were changed as to starting, and now
instead of rolling to rest a ball nearest the
stake the contestants will place the balls
on an aginary line passing through the
center of the cage and then shoot for the
home border line and the ball having IT'S
center nearest or upon this border line
plays first If a ball rolls against another
bah or hits the border strnger it is out
and is not considered in the play for start

BALL PLAYERS PROTEST..
The Boston Club Passes Resolutions
COndemnins Holmes Suspension

A special from Boston says that the de-
cision of the board of directors of the Ma
tional League in the Holmes Freedman
case has brought upon their heads the con-
demnation of the press and many of the
club owners of the league. Some players
of the league have protested individually in
interviews, but it remained for the Boston
players to take initial action as body
The resolutions which were drawn UP by
5. NJ. Lewis OF the team say: Whereas
Andrew Freedman of the New York Base
Ball Club has at various times manifested
d spirit of irnpatience and intolerance, of
arrogance, of prejudice toward players, a
spirit inimical TO the best interest of the
game and the public, be it, therefore,
Resolved. That We, the members of the
Boston ball team, publicly express our dis
approval of the boards action and protest
against such illegitimate exercise of au-
thority. Also, that we. members of the
Boston Base Ball Club, appeal to the direc-
tors for reconsideration of resolutions re-
Gently passed in the case of Freedman VS..
Holmes or for a trial of the same before an
impartial tribunal.
ALSO, that We extend to w. j. Holmes
our heartiest cooperation, in so much as
it may be necessary TO secure for him an
honest hearing and a just trial"

ty-hve rounds last night before the Allan
tic Club in New York and Charley White

Partland surprised many of those who
watched the fight by using his right hand
effectively, while his left was continually
playing havoc with Zeigler's face Zeigler
fought desperately in the last two rounds
and had the better of the New Yorker in
the work accomplished, but this was not
enough to counterbalance the lead which
the Kid had gained previously.
