More prominent people of the United
States and distinguished visitors from
abroad have probably enjoyed the quiet
luxury and beautiful surroundings OF the
Hotel Vendome than any other hotel ia
Boston. Located on Commonwealth ave.

the bat there will be another man found
to play first base.
AS a fielder Tenney never had an equal
at first base, is the opinion Of a Cincinnati
expert. He never had a superior but
wherein he excels Jennings is hard to see.
There never was a player who could beat
Jennings on thrown balls, and as to ham
ding grounders. he took his great skill
from shortstop to first base. Throwing
was his weakness at first, but his arm was
good enough to make plays at second base
and the plate. On fly balls he was always
one of the best. Tenney's predecessor was
deservedly ranked as a star, His name
was Tom Tucker. it's doubtful IL Tenney
could teach him anything.

Roy Thomas, the man who was RESPONSE
bic, more than any one else, for the adop-
ton of the foul strike rule in the National
League, is not making so many fouls now
that they are penalized. In former years
Roy would always claim that he could not
help fouling the ball off. but he is willing
to admit now that the fouling off was in
territorial. Roy is a master OF the art of
fouling off, and he never went to bat last
season that he did not make a half dozen
or more fouls. Pitchers the league over
despised to see him at the plate
No. I'm not fouling them of any more,
because l would be striking out a good
deal If did said he when II was sug-
gested that he had changed his batting

A,,.-t.,, I.,cue Team., Standing.
National League Clubs Star

Notwithstanding the rains of Thursday
| and the same night American Park was
| in fairly good condition yesterday morning
| and the Senators took a couple hours of
hard practice in preparation for the after
noon game with the Clevelands. 1t was
cloudy all day, but at o'clock another
downpour of rain set In and the game had
to go over until the Clevelands come east
again on their second trip.
Manager McAleer and his able-oooled
players from Cleveland made an early start
for the park and were on the ground when
the storm broke While waiting for the
clouds to roll by Managers McAleer and
Manning had quite humorous controversy
over the merits of the teams, and both
claimed hard luck on the rain. McAleer
said yesterday would have added the fourth
victory of the Clevelands over Washington
and Manning maintained that the 'Spi-
ders' " hoodoo would have been broken to
a dead certainty, and that the Senators
would have chalked up their first victory
over the visiting aggregation. AS the big
coach stopped near the club house the play
ers of the two teams mingled. and taking
the cue from their leaders, great jollying
confab resulted Bob" Wood, LaChance
and Shiebeck taking prominent parts.
Word of the postponement was telephoned
down town and posted on all the newspaper
bulletin boards, which stopped several hun
trip to the park as they have become con-
WINGED that the game would have proved
Interesting and fought to the last ditch.
Scott and Gear would have been the OPP
posing pitchers, and they will face each
other today.
When shown the Cleveland dispatch tell
ing of the probable change of ownership in
the club, Manager McAleer had little to
say, combining his remarks to the fact that
he was positive the club would be in good
hands no matter whether Kilfoyle let go
or Buckley took charge. The club was now
playing good ball, said McAleer, and If it
continued to do there was nothing to
fear from the Cleveland people in the way
| of grand support
Shortstop Frank Shiebeck was shown the
| newspaper clipping which said that he was
trying to induce several Eastern League
stars to jump their contracts and join the
| American League and said that ne had
troubles enough of his own without med
| ding into other peoples affairs.

GOLF EXPERTS PUNCHED.
Alex. Smith Leading in the Big Tour
ney at Hamilton.

At the close of the first days play in the
open golf championship Of the United
States, at the Myopia Hunt Club, Hamil-
ton, Mass, yesterday, there were at least
dozen of the leading professional players in
the country who could be said to have
chance at one Of the eight money prizes
The leader is Alexander Smith of Scotland,
for three years professional at the Wash
ington Park, Chicago
Who may fall by the wayside only to-
days play will determine, but last night
there were only eight strokes between the
highest and lowest of these players, while
the forty more other players who also
took part in the tournament are not so
very far behind.
Well up among the leaders stands Arthur
G. Lockwood of the Allston Golf Club. Bos-
ton, the only amateur in the tournament,
but who is barred from taking any prize
except the first, and then to receive only a
gold medal
Lockwood's play yesterday astonished
many of the veterans, and while he is not
picked to win out against such a strong
aggregation, it is generally believed he will
not be very far behind the first prize win
ner when the tournament closes tonight.
The leader of the tournament, Alexander
Smith, has in former open tournaments
been well up among the leaders, and three
years ago, over the same course, took sec
ond money. His score at the end of the
first SO holes last night was 1854, but Law

the procession was going along I'd avenue
near the Eliza furnace an explosion oc-
CURED at the furnace throwing molten
metal and Stag high in the air. The funeral

and burned. They are: George Oliver, Joe
Payton. Martin Setter and Michael Cray
Oliver is seriously hurt.
The carriage in which the two daughters
of Mrs. McDonough were riding was set
afire. but the occupants escaped. The hearse
suffered the worst of any of the vehicles
Its glass sides were broken in and the roof
crushed, leaving practically nothing but
the bed and wheels intact. The horses at
tached to the carriages were pelted with
falling Stag and We're prevented from STAN
peding only by the prompt action of the
furnacemen and others on the scene
After much trouble and delay the wrecked
funeral was started again on its way to
