POTOMAC CLUB REGATTA


The Senators played in Chicago Saturday
and yesterday and the Orphans added two
more games to their won" column. Had the
Washington men worked there might have
been different tale. Mr.. Rosey Weber,
who was represented to the owners of the
Washington club as being Rusie, Nichols,
Griffith or something of that sort, made
his appearance in a senatorial uniform Sat-
urday, and the Orphans Immediately COM
menced to explode the phenom. He had
the front of the stage for four innings, dur
ing which time he was connected with for
nine hits for twelve bases, nine runs re-
sulting. 1t then occurred to somebody to
put in Donovan, who allowed three hits.
But the youngster gave five passes and
made two wild pitches. -Four runs were
scored while Donovan was on deck, and
during all this time, including the reign Of
King Rosey, the Washington push sent
three men across the plate. That is, but
three of their own men, for they sent sew
eral more of their opponents across the
plate.
Jud Smith made his appearance on the
Washington team in Saturdays game,
playing third, in place of Wagner, who
was suffering from lameness. He cut quite
hgure in the game, getting a single and
triple off Griffith, scoring a run, stealing
base and fielding his position perfectly. He
also got two hits in yesterdays game one
being a double. Griffith was the opposing
pitcher in Saturdays game, and he simply
dallied with the Washington men. Score,
13 to 3. Other Saturday scores:
Baltimore. 2; Cleveland 1.

Weyhing and Kilroy were the opposing
twirlers in yesterdays game, and closer
contest resulted. Six of the seven runs
made by the Orphans We're scored in the
second inning. Dahlen and Mccormick

Connor's fly to center sent Dahlen home.
Then. with two out, five more runs came

CHICAGO, Feb. 21-The states of
Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois are prac-
sically snowbound. Reports from
Cedar Rapids and Webster City, Ia,
Freeport, Bloomington, Rockford and
Galesburg, Ills, indicate an average
snow fall of two feet. Throughout
Wisconsin and Northern Michigan the
fall was much heavier, i'll fact the
greatest of the season. A 40-mile gale
has piled the snow into enormous
drifts, completely p@ralyzing street
railway traffic and seriously interfering
with the operation of trains on the
steam roads. The Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul, the Northwestern and
the Wisconsin Central trains have
been delayed in some instances 10
hours owing to the heavy drifts and
steady fall Of snow which makes tho
use of the snow plows unavailing.

LONDON, Feb. 21.--It is asserted on
good authority that the Royal Niger
company has been instructed after try.
ing all peaceable means to compel the
retirement of the French from British
territory by force. The sultate of So
koto is feudatory of the company
and was recently placed under its pro.

The situation is regarded as ex.
tremely grave. Great. Britain's force

British officers in Lagos and the gold

upon the news, says it cannot credit

papers publish similar articles, urging
Lord Salisbury to intimate plainly that

The Morning Post says that if France
is really making deliberate plans to an.

patton this can only imply that she de.
sires war with England. In that case
doubtless her wish would be gratified.

which prevails among a great many
people in this vicinity that the Amer.

When the disaster had overtaken the
latter, the same delicacy dictated what
10 do to mourn with the friend and
to avoid all festivity. No invitation OF
a social character would be accepted
this he wished to have understood.
