The last game of the season of '9S in
Washington between the Senators and Bos-
tons resulted in favor of the home team,
10 to 1. From the beginning of the contest
it was noticed that all the ginger displayed
by the visitors in the two previous games
was missing. The championship was won
and why should they exert themselves to
an undue degree, was the question appar-
rently uppermost in the Boston players
minds.
KlobedanZ pitched sovenly ball; the field
ers played mechanically, going after hard
chances when the ball was in the air with
little opportunity for injury, and on the
bases refusing to take any chances. While
this apparent don't-care spirit pervaded the
Beaneaters, all the ginger that was miss
ing from the Senators work for the last
month suddenly cropped out in yester-
days game, and as result the ball was
hit to all points of the field; chances were
taken that surprised the visitors, and in
the field the ball could not be hit too hard
or too far but that one of the local blue
legs froze onto it with zeal that would
have landed the Senators in the first di-
vision if continued throughout the past sea-
Frank Killen was at his best, and Frank S
best is very good His slow ball seldom
missed the plate, fooling the opposing
batsmen completely, while his speedy ones
iad thein guessing throughout. Five hits
were the sum total of safeties registered
against hIm in the nine innings, and with
the support given him killen was bound to
win his game.
The work of Jake Gettman at the bat
smacked very much of his work when he
first Joined the Washington club. neatly
placed bunt, two singles and home run
were Jake's record of the day. Selbach,
Freeman, MCGUIRE and ReitZ Were right on
his heels with three safeties credited to
each, and all these players will receive
quite a boost in the batting percentage of
the year.
Umpires Connolly and Heydler acted as
arbitratOrs, and their work was of the gilt
edged order, neither side kicking on a de-
cision, although several plays were very
close and exciting.

LOCAL CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP.
Annual Tournament Will Begin Sat-

The annual championship tournament of
the Washington Chess Club, 614 10Th street

for the chess championship of the District

gs mes will be victor. They will play one
game week, probably on Tuesday even

Special significance attaches to the match
because at meeting of the executive COM

the unanimous sentiment of the committee
that the winner should be recommended
by the club as a suitable person to play on
the cable match team next spring.
