Large Crowd-Scorcs Elsewhere.

y good attendance, considering the
chilly weather, saw the Champion Bos-
tons show the Washingtons how the
great National game should be played
yesterday afternoon at League Park.
The contest was a one-sded affair, Bos-
ton doing nearly all the brilliant work.
The Champions put up game at times
which was simply electrifyng, and
Tenney's work at first base called forth
round after round of applause" as the
theatrical critics say.
Stahl's playing, both at bat and in
field, showed him to be the same ex

ginia Lacquer. Boston tried out"
several pitchers, as did also Washing
ton. Weying. the oldtimer. was touch
ed up pretty lively at one stage, the
Bean Eaters scoring five runs in one
round. Boston had q youngster named
Kuhne at short field, and he showed up
exceedingly well-so well did he handle
himself. in fact. that many thought 1t
was the brilliant Long. Boston sent
her whole team to the field, with the
exception of Kuhne; and, judging from
their work yesterday they will start
in for the championship fray In good

not very much can be said in praise,
for their play was certainly not up

really the only players OF the Senators
who displayed real big-league talent.

THE RE!NA MERCEDES.
MERRITT PEOPLE UNDER CON-
TRACT TO BRING HER HERE

The ritt-Chapman Wrecking Com
pany's office here has heard nothing
lately from the Reina Mercedes the
Spanish warship which the company's
wrecking crew raised off the Cuban
coast. near Santiago. The Reina Mer-
cedes has been at Havana for a month
undergoing temporary repairs to enable
her to be brought to the navy-yard
here. 1t is supposed that the repairs
necessary before the voyage here are
nearing completion, and the ship may
sail for Norfolk a any date.
The Merritt-Chapman Company Is
under contract only to deliver the shin
manent repairs will be made here. But.
profiting from the experience with the
Maria Teresa. the voyage of the Mcr-
cedes will not be begun until she is fully
able to make 1t.
The Mercedes Is the only one of Ger
vera's ships that will be saved. The
Neptune Company. of Sweden, which
has recently had representatives to
examine the wrecks, is not hopeful of
raising any of the wrecks exccpt that
of the CristObal Colon, and ii is stated
in washington that this company has
made q proposition to undertake To
raise this wreck only on the condition
that the government bear the expenses.
The Merritt Chapman COMPANY also
would undertake the work on this CON
dltion. though they are not sure that
any material results would be accom-
plished.

THE MAGGIE j.. JcRY.
REASONS FOR BELIEVING THE
TUG IS SAFE.

A representative of the Virginlan-
Pilot yesterday sought information
about the tug Maggie j. Jory, which,
according to rumors that could not be
verified Wednesday night. foundered in
Albemarle Sound sometime last Tues
day. Application was made at the office
of Messrs. e. B. Freeman & Co., owners
OF the vessel. with the result that we
are able this morning to state that no
good reason exists for believing she has
sustained q serious accident.
The Jory encountered a storm, not
severe. however, and as q precautionary
move, put into Little river, where safe
anchorage was accessible. Another tug
is with her and those who have friends
or relatives on board have only to
await her arrival in this city in order
to see them.

The steamer "Seaboard," Captain
Drisko, now lies at Jones wharf, and
her crew are resting after their terrific
labor of Tuesday and Wednesday
morning. The account of her mishaps,
as told EXCLUSIVELY by the vir-
ginian-Pilot in yesterdays issue. called
forth many expressions Of interest, and
the vessel had large number of Wis
itors yesterday A more complete and
detailed account of her trip follows:
THE STORY.
The American steamer "Seaboard,"
Captain Ralph B. Drisko, bound from
New York to Tampa and Mobile. with a
general cargo, was lowed into port
Wednesday in distress. The following
narrative lis synopsis of story thrill
In in the extreme, which was obtained
from one of the ships company
We left New York on Monday, at
noon, and up to Tuesday morning had
excellent weather but suddenly a
northeast storm set in. and by the af-
ternoon heavy gale was blowing.
A HEAVY GALE.
The "Seaboard" was running before
the wind, and the heavy seas were
piling up and dashing their spray over
her stern, at last crushing it in and
starting some OF her planks amdshp.
To save the ship from immediate de-
struction the captain hove to and skill
fully turned the head of his ship to the
wind, several seas breaking over her
In the performance.
ABANDONMENT DEMANDED.
The captain then found that in adj
dition to the damaged stern the ship
was also leaking in the hull, and the
crew finding the water rising rapidly,
demanded that the vessel be abandon
ed. Captain Brisko then launched the
re boat and let 1t tow astern. The
Iife-boat shipped n considerable water
and was soon half filled; it was pre-
vented from sinking, however, by the
alright compartment and the hawser,
which tied it to the ship. The other
boats were too small to be Of any use
In the terrible sea that was then run
ming. Distress signals were set, but no
vessels hove in sight.
Currituck light was noted about
twenty miles west.
READY TO FLOAT OR SWIM.
The men put on life-preservers and
were anxious to embark In the boat
Captain Brisko and Mate Kelley argued
with the men and urged them to go to
work to save the vessel, showing them
that the one boat could not take them
all, that probably fully half of them
would be drowned in trying to reach
the boat. and urging that all would
be more comfortable and safe on the
steamer as long as the fires could be
kept going. This argument took with
the crew and they went to work with
a will to keep the ship afloat till day
light. IL such a thing were possible.
THE BUCKET BRIGADE.
The fires in the lower furnaces had
already been extinguished by the water
in the fire room. but with the steam
made by the upper furnaces the pump
was put to work and the crew, hanging
to the ladders which led up on deck,
passed bucketfull after bucketfull of
