Record of the Clubs,

Gilt-edsed ball was played yesterday at
Chicago between the Washingtons and the
band of colts representing that city in the
National League the Senators winning out
by the score of . to .. The batting was
weak on both siIes ana the errors almost
equally distributed. but the two misplays
charged against the Chicagos were followed
by double by Cassidy that drove two runs
over the plate.
Mcfarland was on the rubber for the Sem
atOrs, and while he was hit harder than
Taylor, who did the twirIing for the Chi
Cages. the Senator's pitcher folded his posi-
ton perfectly and kept the hits well scat
tered At several stages of the game the
ChicagOs had men on second and third but
the necessary hit to drive the runners over
the home plate could not be made
Jack Taylor IL did the pitching for the
ChicagOs, and held the Senators down to
two hits but they were doubles by Cassidy
and Padden, the one made by the former
being disastrous to the home club. as it sent
IN enough runs to win the game.
The fielding of the Washington club is
worthy of the highest praise, Cassidy at
nrSt having fourteen chances and taking
them all. He certainly won the game with
MS timely hit. Bonner, at second had nine
chances. and slipped up only once while
Dick Padden felded all of his six chances
cieahiy. S!agle, Freeman and O. Brien all
had hard chances, the little center fielder
doubtless saving the game by pulling down
a double in deep center field.
The playing that made Chicago sad and
Earl wagner gleeful came in the fourth in
ning. Little Slagle sent bad bounder to-
ward third ami reached first on .Wolver-
tons error. Mercer then got in one of his
atAsuc bunts, and Pitcher Taylor fumbled.
BoHner then tried for bunt, but this time
Taylor captured il. and by a nice throw
caught Slagle at third. Cassidy then came

Base BAH Notes.

Five victories out of six games played.
Wonderful. Wonderful.
Mcfarland cannot be such dead one,
after all His work yesterday was fine
exhibition of GOODNESS and nerve.
Peter Cassidy may look clumsy and slow,
but he can hit the ball and he was some
pumpkins on first yesterday.
Manager Irwin, this is too much, The
next thing you will be held responsible for
giving the local fans" the heart disease.
The new infelder, Anterior, may join the
club next Monday, but he will not get into
the game if the present combination Of
Senators continue to win.
How does the Pittsburg trade look today I?
Padden, Siagle and O'Brien for Reitz. Pad
den suits the Washington fans" and little
Slagle cannot be bought for a barrel of
money And then there is a possibility
that O'Brten may yet turn out well.
Two more games in Chicago, and then
three with Pittsburg. One more victory
out of the five games to be played and the
Senators will make a record never equaled
by any Washington club away from home.
The Senators chances look promising for
one game at least in Pittsburg.
The western clubs didn't show up very
well yesterday, four shut-outs of the six
games played being placed against them,
and Pittsburg was the only club to win
brooklyn and st. Louis breaking even on
a tie game.
The Chicago people are not a bit sore
over the defeats dished out to their favorite
team by the Senators. The Tribune has the
following to say of the Senators after their
hrst win, and after yesterdays shut-out the
writer on that paper will doubtless refuse
TO express himself. The paragraph reads
as follows: 'TWenty-three hundred sar-
castle citizens freckled the stands and

Georgetown.s Wonderful Record.

From the New York Tribune
The Georgetown College nine has been
making a wonderful record for itself this
last week. scoring victories over Yale, Har-
ward and Brown. Il will be remembered
that both the Harvard and Yale teams on
their southern trips early in the season
ran up against the Georgetown aggregation
and We're worsted. In fact. the southern
players are said to have better batters than
any other college. They have a keen lot
of ti-lders, and in all their recent games
against the large colleges they have won
by a pretty fair margin.
The Georgetown base ball team, which
is on a trip through New England, is a
corker, and at the end of the season will
have a right good claim to be called the
fastest Of the college mines OF 1899. George
towns defeat of Yale at New Haven yes
terd&y was the third beating they have
given the Ellis this year-Pittsburs Press.

In the morning Huntington, the famous
old-time expert, and Dodge, an undergrad
uate at Yale, came together in the semi
firal round. The younger man won after
a most exciting tussle, thus earning his
right to meet Foote, the other veteran, in
the finals this morning for the New Eng
land champion challenge cup. Dodge cap
tured the first set yesterday after a close
struggle, but was easily Outplayed in the
second. The deciding set found the Yale
man in the lead most of the time. but Hunt
ington made a fine uphill fight. Dodge's
steadiness pulled him out ahead in the
end, however, the final set being ca in his
favor
In the afternoon there We're two exciting
double matches. each requiring the full
three sets to decide the question of suprem-
acy. Hackett and Allen and Dodge and
Noyes, all four Yale men, finally came out
ahead, and they will come together this af-
ternoon in the final match.

JOIN the washington club at PlttSburg.
J. EARL WAGNER.
Barry played with Buffalo and Scranton
in '91, participating in eighty-two games.
His batting record that season was .264 and
fielding .SS4. He played shortstop a consid-
cradle part of the season. He also had
twenty-one stolen bases to his record.
In 1898 he was with the champion Mon
treal team and doubtless attracted Man
ager Twins attention while managing the
Torontos. Barry played in 112 games with
Montreal in the outfield, and stands well
up in batting, having a percentage of 1877,
while his fielding was .S92 on 195 chances.
Last season he stole twenty-six bases. To
size the man up from his picture in
group of Montreal players published in
this years guide it would appear that
Barry is about a 165-pounder and nearly six
feet tall. His fine work this season has
created considerable talk in the cities COM

Early Morning GaIIops.

No heavy work was done by any of the
candidates yesterday, although all had
good gallops. This morning early all the
likely starters were out on the track for a
gallop of twice around, and some of them
got a fast quarter through the stretch,
while the trainers of the others gave them
but furlong as a pipe-opener, and then
all were sent to their stables to rest until
it should be time to go to the post.
According to those who have been around
the track in the early morning hours during
the week the best work was done by Banas-
tar, who has covered the mile and a quarter
in 2.0SA with weight up and head swinging.
ffligrane, the winner of the Metropolitan
in new record for the Withers mile,
fairly burnt the track in his trial, and
showed that he had all the speed he had
on the opening day at Morris Park. These
two are likely to be the best-backed horses
on the track, with the usual prejudice
against the three-year-oid winning the
Brooklyn, so Filigrane stock will suffer a
little in that respect. although it is claimed
that the handicap horses this year are by
no means good lot, while Fiigraue is a
phenomenally good three-year-old.
