Contest.
MANY old TIMERS ON HAND

Webster, May 27.-The base ball sea-
son was opened here this afternoon,
when the Websters combatted with
celebrated axe town players. Contrary
to the opening game last year, Web
ster was defeated, the score standing at
the close of the first half of the ninth
inning, to in favor of East Doug
les. The game, taken altogether, was
fairly good one.
The match was witnessed by large
crowd, which was estimated at about
600.
1t was an interesting game from the
start to the finish, although there was
no sensational or grandstand play with
the exception of a fine running catch
made in centre garden by the reliable
John Stafford. Stafford played good
game right through, and the feature Of
the contest was his pretty catches.
Sholta on second base played a neat
game as we'll as Shea and Putnam. Per-
kins, Mellor and Holmes carried off the
Douglas honors, and with the exception
of Reilly's and Gannon's errors, which
proved costly the game was devoid of
any bad plays.
ulIdIly InS luOl VI ldSl year tdlIl-
paign, played his old position behind
the bat well. Putnam last year was the
dread Of all opposing twirlers, and to-
day he succeeded in sending out a
two-bagger, much to the Joy of the To-
cal fans.
Dad Clark, the celebrated pitcher,
known everywhere, once of the New
Yorks and Louisvilles, occupied the box
for Webster. He was pointed out and
admired by all those familiar with the
national game. Dad" was right in
his element.
The Douglas men had been laying for
Dad, and they intended to knock him
out of the box the fir It shot, but poor
old Dad" didn't prove an easy mark
for them. He went at them like a cy-
clone and his arm or mind never gave
out, and he was throwing better ball
at the finish than at the start of the
game.
Webster certainly had an off day; it
couldn't be called anything else The
men played pretty good ball, but luck
was against them and the result was
a defeat for them.
The Websters went to the bat first,
Stafford leading. He sent a fly out to
Wilder and was soon on the bench
again. Shelter got his base on balls
and stole bag just for fun. Shea also
got his base on balls. Sholta was put
out, assisted by Wilder. Putnam also
went out
Gammons scored a base hit Sum
mergill was put out by Sholta. Wilder
struck out. Holmes sent the sphere Uut
for two bases, and Gammons scored.
Mellor got his base on balls and on
Perkins hit Holmes scored. Cannon
put out Mellor. The game continued
up to the sixth inning with white
washes for Webster, while their rivals
had pushed in five runs.
In the sixth Putnam was hit by a
pitched ball, and Cannon got his base
on balls. Massiotti followed and there
were three men on bases. Reilly went
out to Holmes. Haeger came to bat
and advanced the men on bases. Put
nam and Cannon came in on passed
balls. After that inning things came
easy for the axe boys.
The score:

SENATOR HANNA TALKS.

On the Quay Case, the Coming Ma

WIN Hold the Craftsmanship of the
Committee Until HIsTerm Expires.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. 2l.-UnIted
States Senator N. A. Hanna was in the
city to-day, on his way from Washing
ton to Cleveland. The senator seems to
be enjoying the best OF health. although
stlll slightly lame.
''It would be highly improper for me
to discuss the matter at this time"
said Senator Hanna, when asked what
he had to say about the Quay case.
my position is like that of a man on
the jury. All the arguments pro and
con win have to be presented before
the senate and We will have to reserve
our verdict until all the evidence is
brought out in proper form"
''It is reported that Senator Quay and
his friends used their influence to de-
lay the senate committee in making Its
report. What is your opinion on the
subject
There is no truth in 1t. The COM
mIttee could not report until some time
in January, even IL the members We're
so disposed. All such matters have to
take their proper course and there is
no necessity for haste. The hearing
has been held, but the committee must
have time for due consideration Of the
arguments that were presented. Some
one probably started that report be-
cause they had nothing else-to- talk
about"
What grounds are there for the re-
port that you tried TO influence the nd-
ministratlon against Quny?"
None at all: that story was also
manufactured out OF the whole cloth.
and think denied 1t some time ago. ="
What is the feeling among western
ers concerning the selection OF Phitadei-
phIa as the place for holding the next
national Republican conventions"
II think all are pretty well satisfied
now. II was n lively contest between
Chicago and Philadelphia. and the lat
ter won out By only one vote. The
meeting OF the national committee was
pleasant one and the rivalry be-
tween the eastern and western mem
bers was good-natured throughout"
Have you any intention OF retiring
from the ehaITInanship Of the national
commIttee?"
Not until my term expires"
There has been some gossip about
naming Quay as your successor. What
have you heard about IT."
Nothing at all. II Is an unwritten
law with the committee that no chair
