ISM For this reason he is to be sold. These
wiseacres were very much disheartened
yesterday. Mcclure Is good for five years
yet in the big league and several after that
in the minors.
That Louisville aggregation has made a
onels winning 20 out of the 26 games they
played with Washington and Brooklyn this
year.
Gatans has all the defects of a new player
coming into the big league. He hurries
when he should take his time and takes
his time when he should hurry. But Gatans
handles himself we'll and a good Judge of
players would surely pick him out as like
ly man for any team.
A large crowd of Baltimoreans came over
with the Orioles yesterday and when the
birds scored the three runs in the first in
ming they conducted themselves like nov
ices cashing their first race tickets. After
the third inning, when the Senators ham,
mered out four runs, their disgust was so
marked that several of them left the
grounds.
The New Yorks open series of three
games with the Sena tors at National Park
next Thursday, and a warm time can be
looked for. 1t will be a case of old-timers
against young blood, and the former can
be depended upon to put forward their best
efforts, if for no other reason than that it
would never do to allow minor leaguers to
defeat players of such standing repu-
tations.
In a game of base ball yesterday at
Gouldsboro' station, near Stroudsburg, Pa,
a pitched ball hit Charles Long of Sterling.
He got up to play after being struck then
fell to the ground and rolled over dead.
In the Baltimore Washington series
far the Orioles have made 81 runs, just one
fewer than double the number the Sena-
tors have made, namely, A. And yet Wash
ington has won seven of the thirteen games
played. That number, a. seems a lucky
one, anyhow-Boston seems unable to pass
it in games lost
If Baltimore had won as many games
from Washington as, on FORM it should
have won the Orioles would be in the lead
in the pennant race-not to mention the
victories that should have come from
Brooklyn, Louisville and ST. Louis. With
all the other teams Baltimore's work has
been very creditable.
Patsy Tebeau predicts a successful cam
paign for his brother George as manager
Of the Brooklyns next season. There are
some good batters and fielders in the
Brooklyn team" said Patsy, "and George
is just the man to get the best results from
them. He is a fighter and hustler and
never quits. What the Brooklyn team
needs is some grit and ginger George will
supply what is wanting. l predict bril-
liant success for him if he is in charge.
If he goes to Brooklyn l presume he will
play first base, just as he did for the Co
lumbus team.'-Cincinnat Enquirer

far as completed the score gives Coleman
the lead, with six won and one lost Yost
stands next, with five won and two lost,
while Hall, who was counted upon at one
time as being the champion of this division,
has four won and three lost
In the third division Baker has almost
undisputed possession of the championship,
although the games in this division are
hardly half completed, his score being a
clean one of ten won and none lost The
remaining games in the third division will
be finished this week. Some Of the players
have already left for their homes however,
so that d full score for this division will
not be obtainable at this meeting Those
who have left the city are Webb, Stauffer
and Wagner, while Van Wickle has for
feited the remainder of the games sched-
uled for him to play.
In the two games played yesterday by
Strong and Duryea in the Van Wickle badge
score stood two apiece at the beginning Of
play this gives Duryea the necessary ma
jority out of the seven specified games.
Duryea was immediately challenged by
Holden to play for the medal at the ex-
piration of the thirty days provided for in
the conditions that govern these contests.
1t is not expected that the champion will
have much trouble in diSposRg of his new
opponent. In the exhibition game played
last night by Strong and Duryea before a
large and apprecative crowd of spectators
Strong Won out after hard fight.

DCRYEA THE CHAMPION.
He Defeats CrOGuet Players of Ma
tiOnaI Reputation.

Sackett Duryea, the youthful croquet ex-
pert of this city, stands undisputed cham
pion of the District of Columbia In win
ming this championship he has not only de-
feated local play ers, but men of national
reputation, in all probability the foremost
croquet experts of the country. He de-
feated Williams last night by a good mar
gin in his remaining game to close up his
score, giving him clean record of ten
games won and none lost, thereby winning
the gold medal offered as first prize. w. H
Wahly stands next with a record of nine
games won and one lost; that one lost Sat
urGay night to Duryea after a splendid ex-
hibition. Strong and Bryant are tied for
third position, each with seven won and
three lost.
In the second division there are three or
four games yet to be played but these will
probably be disposed of this afternoon. AS

Record of the Clubs.

The Baltimore Orioles came over to
Washington yesterday with the intention
of taking the scalps of the poor Senator's,
and the 200 or 800 of their ad-
herents who followed them over explained
to the local fans just how it would be done
and how very easy it would be for the
oystermen. But after the game, which was
called during the seventh inning because
of darkness, the Birds and their support
ers had the hardest task of the season in
explaining just how it was that the de-
spised Senators walked away with the
game by score of to 5. The explanation
Of the Orioles defeat was the fact that
trey could not hit Killer, while Nops was
easy going. being hit for two triples, Il
double and seven singles, while Killen was
touched up for a homer and five singles
The homer was made by Hughes, the Bal
timore twirler. who played center, in the
sixth inning, Selbach losing the ball in the
darkness. De Montreville had just made
a SINGLE so two runs resulted.
The visitors other runs were made in
the first inning. McGraw walked and
hseler bunted. The former was caught off
second, but eluded capture, reaching third,
and keeer going TO second. jennings sin
gle to center sent both men home. Hughey
was forced by McGann, who was sacrificed
to second by Holmes. On McGuires throw
~ CrtICu illil dl second, MCtIdnn started
for third. and scored on Reitz's bad throw
to Smith.
The Senators also scored in the opening
inning. Reitz singled to right, and Nc
Cures single to right sent him to third
Freeman's force of Mcclure scoring him
In the third inning the Senators practically
knocked Nops all over the lot but Hanlon
refused to recognize the demands of the
Baltimore fans that he be taken out. Sell
bach led off with a three-bagger over
Hughes head, and Mcguire sent triple to
right. Freeman's single to left sent Nc
Guire home, Buck taking third on Gatans
single to center. The latter stole second
and he and Freeman scored on Smith s
single to center In the following inning
killen walked, and Reitz sent the ball
through McGraw, NOps failed to catch
ReitZ at second on Selbach's grounder. and
the bases were filled. Killen scored on Nc
CURES long fly to left. which Holmes just
caught after a mighty effort, and Reitz
scored on Freeman's single to center
In the first half of the seventh inning
after three runs were scored by the Sena-
tors off a triple by Mcclure. singles by
Freeman, Smith and Gettman, a bad throw
by Robinson and Gatans sacrifice Umpire
Snyder then called the game on account of
darkness, and the score reverted to the
sixth inning. Scoie:
