GAMES TODAY.
Washington at Boston.
Brooklyn at New York.
Baltimore at Philadelphia.
ST. Louis at Pittsburg.
Louisville at Cincinnati.

Washington looked like winner all over
until the last inning of the game with Bos-
ton at the Hub yesterday, when Weyhing,
who had been pitching splendid ball for his
team up TO that time, became wild and
sent three men in row to first on balls.
Then Bergen loomed up with a hit, two
men crossed the home plate, and the Sen
ators were the victims of one of those old
time Boston finishes.
1t was hard game to lose, as Weyhing
had all the better of the argument with
Lewis, who was found often enough dur
ing the six innings he was on the rubber
for Washington to get and hold a slight
lead up to the fatal ninth. Lefty Bailey,
who succeeded Lewis, held the Irwinites
down in great shape, not a Senator reach
ing second in the last three rounds
The Beaneaters were compelled to pro-
duce the best they had in the fielding line.
but they were equal to the emergency and
played without an error.
The Senators engage the attention of the
Hubites again this afternoon when Mer-
Ger will probably be on the rubber for
Washington. The score:

Major Richard Sylvester. Superintendent
of Police, in his forthcoming report will re-
new and emphasize the recommendation
which he made in his last annual report, in
support of the establishment in various
parts Of the city of public Fairgrounds for
children. This question has been agitated
for several years. The contention of the
Police Department is that as the city boys
are prohibited from playing ball and other
games in the streets, alleys and vacant lots.
place should be provided where juvenile
sports may be engaged in without interfer-
ence from the police and without danger
TO public or private property.
The act of Congress approved August 80.
1890, provided that the officer in charge OF
public buildings and grounds within the
District of Columbia, should be authorized
TO set aside a portion OF the public grounds
as playground for children, this play
ground TO be governed by such regulations
as that officer should prescribe.
The southern portion of the Monument lot
was designated for the purposes indicated,
but no regulations were framed, as the act
provided for no watchmen or additional po-
licemen TO see that such regulations should
be observed. The watchman who is on duty
at the Monument is said to be needed there
constantly TO protect the shaft from van
dals. Ii was said at the time that the lawns
were being destroyed, the trees injured, and
that the playground was infested with vi
cious persons. The Police Department was
called on to relieve the grounds of the pres
ence OF these persons. In the fall of 1893
the site of the playground was transferred
TO the space between b Street and the main
drive north of the Monument. There were
eight acres in this plot, and it was practI-
cally monopolized by half-grown young men
as baseball and football field.
The act of Congress approved March 2,
1885, directed the officer in charge of pub
lie buildings and grounds to permit the
use of a portion of the grounds within the
ellipse south of the Executive Mansion,
and notice was given that children under
certain restrictions and who should be re-
commended by any reputable person would
be permitted TO play croquet, tennis, crick-
ct, and kindred games, there. Only two
requests for this privilege were made and
both were granted, but the applicants
never appeared on the grounds.
1t was contemplated three or four years
ago TO transform the reservation at the
intersection of Georgia and Virginia Ave
nues into playground, but the space was
not fenced, and there was neither shade
nor water there.

Commissioners, Orders,

The District Commissioners issued the follow
ing orders today:
That cement sidewalk be laid on the Con-
necticut Avenue side of the triangular reserva-
tion at the intersection Of Connecticut Avenue,

cost Of 500, chargeabie to the appropriation for
sidewalks and curbs around public reservations,
1900.
That two culverts be constructed, one over Sill
yer Spring Branch and one over Fenwick Branch,
on the line of roadway from Brightwood Avenue
across Rock Creek Park, at an estimated cost of
s965, chargeable to the appropriation for said
road.
That the proposal of II. I. Gregory to con-
struct heating apparatus in the school building
to be built on Kenyon Street, east of Thirteenth
Street, is accepted, this being the lowest pro-
posal received.
That sewer be constructed in the north side
OF E Street southeast, between Seventh and
Eighth Streets, at estimated cost OF $3.50,
chargeable to the appropriation for replacing OBJ
structed sewers, 1900.

Things Theatrical

Something thoroughly out of the ordi-
nary is promised for the performance TO
be given next Monday at Kernan's by
The Bon Ton" Buriesquers, an organiza-
ton which gained much popularity here
last year. The something" Is also de-
scribed as being bit risque, and should
be if one may take in good faith the guar
antee that it has been the reigning sensa-
ton of Paris for a month back, The
sketch-for it is a sketch-is given under
the title of "A Dream of the Orient"
When the curtain rises one sees room
richly furnished in Eastern fashion and
filled with what are said to be handsome
women, engaged in smoking hookahs. At
ter having finished these odd pipes the
dancing is begun and lasts for about a half
hour. The entire performance is said to
be just about sharp enough to be enter
tanning and should add much to the repu-
tation already won in Washington by THE
Bon Tom Burlesquers.

THE JENNINGS DEAL.
Action of VOnderhOrst In Making II
Being Condemned.

The Baltimore Sun" is all worked up
over the trade which took Jennings back to
the ranks Of the Birds. In. speaking of the
game between Baltimore and Philadelphia
yesterday, the Sun" sarcastically says:
"A strolline band of baseball players,
claiming membership in the National
League, but whose identity has not been
clearly established, played a game against
the Philadelphia League Club here today.
Philadelphia won by the score of TO g..
1t is asserted by some that the strangers
came from Baltimore. McGraw and Robin
son, who once were with the 7Orioie team,
played on the side of the visitors
The Sun" also says: Mr.. H. r. Von-
derhorst declares that injustice Is done him
in saying that he wished TO weaken the
Baltimore team by the trade with Brook
lyn. He denies also that any promise he
ever made was broken. He states that for
three weeks he has been following the
Brooklyn team about working hard to bring
about the trade for Jennings who, he
says, is most valuable to Baltimore, while
neither Nops nor DeMontreville are of any
account.
Manager McGraw does not agree with
Mr.. Vonderhorst in his estimate OF. the val
ue of baiiplayers. Mr.. Vonderhorst denies
that he ever said that no exchanges should
take place between Brooklyn and Baltimore,
his promise being that no trade that
would weaken Baltimore should be made,
and that the present trade strengthened
the Orioles.
The public will wonder little just how
Mr.. Hanlon was persuaded 10 trade such
a valuable man for two worthless players,
thus strengthening Baltimore at Brooklyn >
expense Whatever may be the relative
merits of the players, the baseball public
all over the country will look with suspI-
cion on trade that was forced upon the
Baltimore manager against his will by the
Brooklyn 'magnates.' When one such trans
action can be made it is short step TO the
methods employed by the owners of the ST.

tion TO Restrain Maurice O'Leary.
Dennis Fitzgerald today, through his at
torneys, Wilson G. Barksdale, filed a petit
tion for injunction against Maurice o'Lea-
Ty to restrain him from establishing and
maintaining saloon at No. II G Street
northwest
The complainant alleges that he Is the
owner of Nos. 16 and is G Street north
west, residing with his family at the latter
number. The entrance OF both Nos. 16 and
is, he says, is within fifty feet of the en-
trance of the proposed barroom. This, he
maintains. is in violation of law, and he
MED a protest before the Excise Board
and requested that liquor license he not
issued for these premises. He also alleges
that the entrance to No. IL G Street is
less than 400 feet from the nearest en-
trance to the Gales School building
The application for a license for No. IA
G Street was made on May 2, 1899. and
protests were filed two days later. A hear
ing was had before the Excise Board and
on May "a the board refused TO issue the
license asked for Without notice to the
complainant the matter was reopened on
July Is last, and the board then allowed
the license TO be issued. 1t is claimed by
the petitioner that the Excise Board had
no authority to reopen the matter with
out the defendant having first complied
with the law in relation to such affairs.
