Records of the Clubs.

The Senators pulled themselves together
yesterday after noon at National Park and
went at the Baltimoreans, hammer and
tongs, the score at the conclusion Of the
ninth inning being Il to in favor Of the
local gentlemen. Billy Dineen twirled one
of the games from which he gained his
reputation as first-class pitcher, and as
a result the Birds were made to look like
the proverbial slangy 80 cents. But six
safe hits are credited to the Orioles, one
of which was a double by Kitson, which
would have been called foul had Umpire
Latham been near enough to the plate to
get a line on the ball. When club is not
hitting it Is made to look very weak
through the loss of ginger and confidence
and this was the state of affairs the Birds
were combating with all afternoon. Kit
son was on the rubber for Baltimore, and
in contrast to the work of his club the
Senators located the ball with a persist
ency that brought in runs and created
great enthusiasm. The batting streak Of
the locals gave them confidence in the
field, and there was not the semblance of
an error, everything being handled clean
and accurately
Little Jimmy Slagle has not been To-
eating the ball safely of late. but his peach
pie came to the front yesterday and he
partook of the feast with avidity, three
singles and a double being his record on
the day. Buck Freeman was close up
with home run and single, and but for
sensational catch by Sheckard in right
field another home run would have gone
to his credit. McGann also secured a
triple and a single, and Dick Padden raped
out three singles.
Outside the batting Of the local team
there was but little done worthy of special
mention, the fielding for the most part be-
ing on easy chances. Sheckard's catch
can be placed in the lucky list, but for
all that he deserves commendation for
making the great effort he did to get the
ball. Freeman met the sphere good and
hard on the end of his bat, and away 1t
sailed toward the extreme end of the
bleachers. "Sheck' must have started
with the crack of the ball against the bat.
because he seemed to travel a mile and
then managed to grasp the sphere with one
hand and go down in a heap at the same
time The play was most sensational and
prolonged applause greeted the plucky
fielder.

thing of wire. Jarvis promptly took in his
mainsail and was taken in tow. Beaver
was brought to the shops and the work Of
repairs was commenced at once.
Genesee, the American challenger, got
under way early. An eight-knot breeze
was blowing from the southwest. The
conditions were altogether what Beavers
admirers would choose, although they
would not have objected to little more
weight to the wind. After the yachts had
jockeyed about for twenty minutes the
Judges boat fired the starting gun.
Beavers mainsail could be seen Tapping
wildly, but Genesee went promptly over
the line, slightly in the lead. Beaver fol-
lowed, but had only gone few yards
when she was seen to take in her mainsail.
The American boat continued on her
course. The weather was thick and the
southwest wind veered rapidly around to
northwest, raising big sea.
When Genesee was sighted after three
hours she was beating up to the starting
buoy. 1t transpired that she had not gone
around the course, having missed the west
ern buoy, so the race was declared of. The
yachts will race again today. Beaver will
be ready by that time.

Forty-two players are enrolled on the list
Of the $50 this week, and of this number
seven are Baltimore men-more than any
other team can boast. Philadelphia can
show six men. Boston and Pittsburg, five
each; Louisville. four; st. Louis, Cincin-
natl, Chicago, Brooklyn and New York,
three each, and Washington and Cleveland
are unrepreSented.
Individually, Hickman, the Boston pitch
er, has done some startling work. Two
weeks ago this young man was about to
draw his release because Manager Selee
had no confidence in his pitching ability,
even though he had won five games and
lest none. AT the bat he had made but six
hits in twentysiX times up. In the last
seven games at Boston Hickman has been
given an outfeid position, and in twenty
six times at the bat he has raped out
seventeen hits, raising his percentage to
the comfortable figure of AZ Delehanty.
Rurkett and Keller have taken bad slumps
during the past two weeks, while McGraw
has appreciably bettered his standing.
