Record of the Clubs

The Senators shifted their stamping
ground yesterday to Louisville and the Col
onels were just fine enough to defeat our
representatives by the score of to 3 and
incidentally jammed the Washingtons back
into the eleventh hole in the championship
lace.
Winnie Mercer was on the rubber for the
Senators and the Colonels found his as
sortment of slow curves just to their liking
lacing the ball to all parts of the field, get
ting fifteen safe drives with total of nine
teen bases. Winnie's support was very
good, but one slip-up occurring during the
game, a questionable error by Padden, who
played extraordinary game. Bowling
was MERGERS opponent on the rubber, and
he too was touched up rather lively, but he
prevented hits being made at critical times
and this enabled his club to win out.
Padden and Anterior were the bright par
ticular stars of Washingtons game, the vet
cram and tie colt VleinS with each other In
making sensational stops and throws. Dick
came out best at the bat, having two doub-
les 10 his credit, but Bonner was close up
with triple, while Slagle and Mercer had
each double and single.
Clarke and Hoy were the handiest with
the bat for the Colonies, while little Richie
at second took care of the balls batted his
way in the most brilliant style.
Before the game started Manager Irwin
signed George Decker to play first base
for the Senators, and the big fellow went
right into yesterdays game, fielding the
position finely, but failing to get a safe
hit. Decker was considered star while
with the Chicagos some seasons back, and
after he Joined the Colonies last year his
work was of the finest. This spring George
has been under the weather, and but re-
Gently the Louisviles gave him his release
1t is more than probable that Decker's
health has improved and if this should
prove to be the case Manager Irwin has
picked up a valuable man.
Following is the score of yesterday
game:

The one-mile race for the championship

THE DISTRICT LEAGUE.
Eight Games Played - Current Notes

The District Amateur Base Ball League
promises to furnish the Washington fans
with excellent exhibitions Of ball playing
during the absence of the Senators. The
gradual increase of interest taken in the
few games which have been played has
been indicated by the increase of the at

and the standing of the clubs is as follows:

The London tournament is proceeding on
the even tenor of its way. The most re-
marked thing is the very steady and unex-
pected strong play of Maroczy, the Hun
garian master, who has not hitherto been
regarded in the top notch of the master
players. The beautiful manner in which
Blackburn won the queen from Lasker and
The game-the game is appended-was re-
ceived on this side with many expressions
of delight. The veteran Bird, relict of
the time when Morphy achieved his great
victories in Europe more than forty years
ago, showed that there is still life in the
old man by downing the brilliant young
Janowski. Teichmann's withdrawal was
caused by inflammation of the eyes.
The following game in which Blackburn
beat Lasker is credited with being the
brightest one to date in the big tourney,
and to stand an excellent chance for the
brilliancy prize.

At three o'clock in the afternoon the
horn at Tin Pan Diggings began to
blow, and 400 men threw down pick
and spade and FASTENED to what was
called the public square. AS they came
running in all directions they found
half dozen men surrounding a camp
mate, and the cause of the alarm was
soon explained. The prisoner, who was
known as Jim Rodgers, was a hanger
on. That meant a SPECTATOR and a
gambler and a general blackleg. He
had been warned" two or three times,
but he had stuck to the camp. and that
afternoon, having been detected in
cheating at cards, he had drawn his
gun and attempted to kill. The horn
had been sounded and the men called
in to give the man trial before Judge
Lynch. He was defiant until he looked
around upon the hundreds of stern
faces and caught the muttered words
of menace. Then he grew pale and 81
lent. The president of the diggings
acted as judge. 1t didn't take over 30
minutes to settle the case.
Prisoner at the bar" said the Judge,
when the jury had returned verdict
OF guilty, 1--WE ar gofn' to hang yon.
We amt no wolves thirstin' for blood,
and we amt anxious to make no rec
ord in the matter of haste. You viii;
be duly executed arter breakfast in the
mornin'."
That was all. The prisoner had moth
ing to say, and most of the miners went
back to their work. The man was put
under guard in one of the shanties. and

there were none to defend or plead fol
him. At shutdown ice of Washoe ar.
rived on horseback. Nearly every body
at Tin Pan knew him for the ''squarest'
man in all the diggings, and he was
warmly welcomed. He learned of the
trial and sentence, of course. Indeed
the judge said to him:
Joe, I'm powerful glad you ar here.
We've got to hang critter in the
mornin', and ] want things reg'lar and
shipshape. Pears to me like there
orter be some singin' or readin' from
the Bible or suthin'. 1t don't look right
to hang man same's' you'd kill dog.
Jest think it over and help us out"
I'll take a look 1t him and see what's
to be DONE" replied Joe. and half an
hour later he was admitted to the shan
ty where the man lay bound.
Joe looked at him long and keenly,
and then drew deep breath and said:
Il was afraid of it when they told me
about you. ] was on your trail, and il
could have got here before noon it
would have been all right"
"You-you have seen her?" stam-
mered the man.
For sure. She's over at Sand HILL"
"And looking for me?"
Sand looking for you. She's been
looking for days and weeks. You must
be the meanest, low-down critter on
the face of the earth"
'I've been a bad man." sighed the
prisoner
"And you'll deserve being hung"
They converse for an hour or more,
and when Joe of Washoe left the shan
ty he also left bottle of whisky with
the miner who had just come on duty
to stand sentinel for the night. To the
president Joe reported:
"Yes. it'll be more shipshape and
civilized to- pray or sing sufhin', and
I'll think 1t out during the night"
When Daylight came the sentinel was
found in a drunken sleep and the pris-
oner was missing. Joe's horse was also
found to.fave vanished during the
night. Nobody could say at what hour
the man had escaped, but 1t was GER
tain that be was safe from any pur-
suit the minars could make. There was
loud cutlery and general indignation,
and when the drunken sentinel was at |
last aroused there were hundred men

others place. Down under the "hane.
ing tree" there was a barrel on end
with a noosed rope dangling from a
limb. While men were crowding and
shouting and demanding. Washoe Joe
unbuckled his guns. removed his hat
and jacket, and, making his way
through the jam. he mounted the barrel
and slipped the moose over his head.
The whole camp followed and sur
rounded him. and presently a great
hush fell upon the crowd. Then he
looked calmly about him and said:,
"A week ago little woman reached
Sand Hill by the stage-the first woman
ever seen in that town. She was little
and she was purity, and her heart was
breakin'. She had come thousand
miles-she had braved the Injuns and
the hardships-she had dared more'n a
manifest to hunt up that critter you
was calculatin' to hang this mornin'.
He is her brother"
There was something almost appall-
ing in the silence around the speaker
and he was paler as he continued:
NO matter what he was, she didn't
know it. She jest looked upon him as
bit wild and wanderer. There was
an old mother back in the states who
was grievin' and weepin', and who
wanted to see her boy ag'in before
death come. When that little woman
told me the story--when she told of her
long journey and how she had sarched
and sarched and been disappointed
when she appealed to me to aid her, I
gin her my hand and my promise. 1t
