DETROIT, Aug. 31.-washington won
4 see-saw game from Detroit today on
the Sunday grounds, which were as
rough as the proverbial rocky road 10
Dublin. Both teams profted by the false
bounds which turned out into hits and
in addition. both slashed out singles
which would have been good outs on any
other ground
Sieyer essayed to pitch for Detroit,
but either the hard luck and poor play
ing of the team has taken away any
ambition he might ever have had, or
else he failed to recover from the Of
fects of the grueling thirteen-inning
battle which he waged here August 10.
against Rube Waddell.
He allowed five hits and gave a base
on balls in the two innings and half
in which he occupied the box, being re-
lieyed by Yeager, whose feelings were
also severely lacerated by the manner
in which the Senators plugged holes in
his delivery.
Carrick Touched Up.
Carrick started in to pitch for WASH
fngton. 1t was the first time he has
been seen on the local grounds this sea-
son. and for FIVE innings he had Detroit
shut out. In the sixth, with the score
6 to 1 against them, the Tigers started in
to even UP matters, and by steady hit
ting brought the score to tie. and
then added two more to make matters
certain.
Lee was called in from center field to
do the pitching. and Orth went into the
garden. The change worked well, but
one hit being secured off the southpaw.
Consecutive singles by keister, Cough,
lin Ely and Carey tied the score in the
ninth. and after Detroit had been shut
out, the Senators proceeded to win the
game for keeps. Doyle singled, but was
forced at second by Lee. Delehanty's
grasscutter along the first base line was
good, and Lee scored when keistel
bumped the ball against the back fence
for two bases.
Coughlin was the second out. but FL,
brought in Delehanty. and Carey's fourth
single, which was good for two bases
brought in Keister. The three Detroit:
were easy outs.
Holmes Skips Out.
Detroit is minus the services of Righ
Fielder Ducky Holmes, who jumped the

A Ltttle Too Late.

The minister of Scotch parish had a great wish that an old couple should become teetotalers, but they were in no wise eager to comply. After much pressing, however, they consented to try the experiment, but laying down as a condition that they should be allowed to keep a bottle of "Auld Kirk" for medicinal purposes.

Her Brflliamt Imapfratf0n.

That the proyerbial absentminded professor is sometimes ably abetted by his wife is illustrated by story told of Professor Bunsen. One evening about the usual hour for retiring he took it into his head to run over to the, club just as he and madam were re turning from an evening call.
 But" said the lady, 'I must have the front door locked before Iretire." This emergency staggered the pro lessor, and as he looked bewildered at his wife the lady, seized with an in- spiration,. continued:
 H'T'll go in and lock the door and throw you the key from the window" ?
 This programme was carried out, and when he reached the club the professor related the incident to friend as .evi- dence of his wife's unusual sagacity.
 The friend greeted the story with a roar of laughter.
 "And why, my dear professor" he said, t'did you not simply admit your wife, lock the door from the outside and come away"
 True" calculated the learned man of science; i've never thought Of thai" !"
 The climax of the incident was reach cd an hour later when, returning home. the professor discovered that the lady in her excitement had thrown out the wrong key.

Her Chef From paris.

"An American woman" says the Bos- ton Journal, 'who lived in Paris was famous for her cook. Her dinners were popular and celebrated, and the conver. sation was largely tribute to the chef. The day came when she should return to the United States. Could the cook be persuaded to go with her? What! Leave Paris? Neverv But she offered him a salary that was incredibly, pre- posterously high, and he went with her.
 "She had hardly settled her house when she gave a dinner party that she hoped would be sensational Not one dish was fit to be eaten. The hostess, almost hysterical, after the gloomy meal was over rushed to the kitchen to find out whether the cooks art was matter of Parisian atmosphere, and then, and only then, she discovered that her famous chef had never cooked dinner for her in Paris; that he. had got it all from a world famous boule- yard restaurant"

King Oscar and the Young Reporter.
 On one occasion Oscar II. went to Gothenburg to attend dedication or
 the opening of something or. other where he was expected to make q speech. An enterprising reporter in- tercepted him at railway station
 upon arrival to ask for copy of,ihis manuscript in advance in order that 1t might be published the same after noon, for there would be no time for a stenographer to write out his notes after delivery. The king greeted him pleasantly and explained that he had no manuscript: that he intended to speak without notes. The reporter was very much disappointed. He told the king frankly that he was annew man and that his future standing with his employer might be seriously affected if he failed to get the speech. King Os,D r responded sympathetically, motioned to the reporter to get into his carriage, and while they were driving to the hotel gave brief synopsis of what he ex- pected to say.-Chicago Record Herald.

Sculptors de- light in folds and looseness,, and what care they that the coat buttons on the left side or the pocket flaps on one side are half as large again as on the other.
