The wind-uD of the base ball season be-
tween the Washington and Pittsburg clubs
at National Park yesterday afternoon
proved a victory for the visitors. the score
being > to l. The game unin interesting
on account of the light batting, Sparks
holding the Senators down to four hits,
while weighing kept the Pirates eight hits
scattered throughout the nine innings.
The Washington boys played without an
error in the field, but "dopey" work on
the bases that does not show in the mis-
play column of the scores is probably what
lost the game for the home club. Bonner
tried to work the hit and run game in
getting to second, but he was nailed by
Schriver by fifteen feet, and Freeman fell
into trap on the bluff throw to second
by the same player. Either one of the
runners reaching home would have placed
the Senators to the fore and probably a
victory would have astonished the Wash
ingtonians today, as few were at the game
and the majority would have had to wait
for the newspapers to get the result.
Dick Padden pulled off a sensational
play that frightened things I'D little the
Senatorial short stop running toward CEN
ter field and pulling down Donovans line
hit with his left hand.
Neither side scored until the fifth in
ming, and then the Pirates had the salts
faction of chasing the first tally over the
plate. Beaumont reached first safe
hunt. and was sacrificed to second by
Schriver. Donovan then did the uneXrect-
ed by drcpn!ng nice bunt and reached
first safely, ReaumCnt going to third.
oBrien then singled and Beaumont crossed
the coveted rubber. In the seventh the
Piitsburg obtained their second and win
ming run, and once more Beaumont start
cd the trouble. This young man cnce more
beat out an iTfieid hit. and Donovan re-
heated the bunting tactics and landed on
first. Beaumont going to third. O'Brisn
then hit to McGann and a nice return

Donovan going to third on the out. Sparks,
after striking out twice then nosed his
way into the game by singing over third
and Donovan came home. The Senators

IN CHESS CIRCLES.

Things are absolutely quiet in chess. both
locally and generally. In previous years
enough entries have been received to get
UP a tourney with some life in it in this
city: but this year the spring meeting held
on so late into the not weather that it was
impossible to get a sufficient number to-
gether Many of the members are out of
the city ard the larger part of the re-
mainder have become suburbanites and are
too remote for night sessions. A fail tour
ney of good proportions is assured.
The newspapers of the country have late
ly been exploiting Mr.. Pllsbury as the au-
thor OF d fine problem. The composition is
Lloyds. The error arose by the mistake
of a correspondent, who noticed Piilsbury
explaining to some students of the game
under him a position that frequently arises
and was showing how to take advantage of
it, and who forthwith jumped to the con-
clusion that it was Pillsbury's own.
The appended game between Janowski
and Schlecter has a pretty ard unexpected
ending. Black 5 game is also worth noting
as what to avoid in the way Of getting and
keeping ones game blocked. The notes

THE GRAND CIRCUIT.
Lady of the Manor Breaks n Record
mt Glens Falls.

Glorious weather and a perfect track
drew a large attendance to the grand cir
cult meeting at Glens Falls n. Y, yester-
day The events were the 2.GI pacing ana
pa and 219 trotting. The spectators wit
messed the best racing and most exciting
finishes of the meet
Seven horses faced the starter in the
opening event. the 2.07 pace. with Ananias
favorite in the betting. The second heat of
this race furnished the most sensational
racing and the closest finish, and resulted
in the breaking of another record. Lady of
the Manor, CHI. M, by Manbrino King
driven by Geers and starting in sixth
place, made the quarter in 30A. the half in
1O1, the three-quarters in 1917. and went
under the wire but d head in front of
Prince Alert and Royal r. Sheldon, who
were noses apart for second place, in the
record breaking time of 2.0aii.
The best previous time made by a pacing
mare in race was made by Lena H.,
driven by Mcdowell. last year at Cleveland,
in 2njH. This is the fastest time made
over the track since John r. Gentry made
his race record of 2011a in 1897. Lady of
the Manor improved her own best previous
record by 2ia seconds.
Twelve horses lined up for the GA class,
trotting with Lord Vincent ruling favorite,
and he won in straight heats, lowering his
mark in each heat
There was u pnstponement in the 2.19
trottiEg on account of the darkness, and
the race will be finished today.

The Philadelphia ball clubs climax of
misfortune was reached yesterday, when
Flick, the great right fielder. who has been
doing by far the best hitting lately, fell
and dislocated his right knee in running
over first hase;I Douglass was hit on the
left knee by a foul ball and sustained an
injury similar to- that which put Lajoie out
of the game. and Goeckel the new first
baseman, was badly spiked in the foot by
Criger, who. it is claimed, jumped on him.
Goeckel may be able to continue PLAYING
but Flick and Douglass are probably laid
up for the season. With three such men
as Laioie, Flick and Douglass all in the
hospital the Philadelphias are greatly
weakened.

The $1,000 postmasters in the United

ment reliable statistical data and has no
reference 10 the pay of railroads, steam

This move on the part of the Post Office
Department has no reference whatever to
the regular annual Weighing of mails upon
which the department bases the compen-

Under the administration of Mr. Wanna
maker in 1870 a similar plan was attempt
Ell. but there were :nany items on which
the postmasters were called upon to supply
data that few fully complied. and the re-
suits have never been regarded as exact
The present plan is much simpler and
calls upon the postnasters to supply the
following information: Weight OF first, sec
ond, third and foUrth-claSs mail matter
weight OF equipment. that is. bags pouches
and other coverings used in TRANSPORTING
mail matter. and weight OF government

The weighing is to include all mail mat
