an immense gallery of spectators. In the
hrst and second sets Davis varied between
maivelously brilliant play and the most er-
ratio sort of returns. The majority of these
were sent into the net, and even the steadi-
ness OF Ward was unable to pull the game
out at the critical moment Steadiness on
the part Of Malcolm D. Whitman and Leo

the Old Princeton team. In the other con-
test of the day.

BRIGHTON RACES.
Five Favorites Finished in Front,
Making Bettors Happy.

There was no fixture on the card at
Brighton Beach yesterday, but five favorites
won, and the big crowd had a most profit
able day of 1t al the expense of the layers.
There was a deal of enthusiastic applause
over the victories of the public choices, and
much siapping of winners on the back. and
altogether no more good natured crowd ever
left race track than that which journeyed
homeward last evening.
The only favorite that met defeat was
Kittanning, and he went to the bad in the
first race. To begin with. his number on
the card was ID. That seemed to fix him.
for when leading the field he was crowded
against the rail by Baron knight, and was
so badly squeezed that O'Connor got his
foot damned and had to pull up. The stew
ards made some inquiries about 1t, but no.
body was punished. as OConnor did not
seem to wish to accuse anybody. Explorer
came in on the stretch and won by a length
before Baron Knight. The winner was
backed down from 10 to to 10 to /, and
his stable won a small fortune by his sue
cess. Explorers dam. Marquise, was one
Of the samest mares that ever wore plates.

American League Teams Standing.
National League Teams Standing.

The game a American League Park yes
tcrday between the Washington and Bal
timore clubs and which the locals won by
the score of 1 to 3. one of the most
exciting of the season on account of the
pugnaciouS way the Birds went after the
umpirsS. Manager Kelley started the trou-
BILE the very first time at the bat, when he
was called out on strikes. 1t made him
look foolish and he doubtless was sore
when the chief incident of the afternoon
came up in the sixth inning.
Kelley beat out a slow infield hit, and
he Immediately tried to steal second.
Catcher Clarke passed the ball to Ely with
lightning speed, and Umpire Caruthers
declared Kelley out. There was no ques-
ton about the runner being out if Ely
put the ball on him. and as Umpire Ca
ruthers was only two yards away when the
ball struck Ely's hands he was in the
best place to Judge Kelley insisted that
he wasn't out, and kept up his protesting
until Umpire Caruthers ordered him off the
grounds Kelley was very slow In his
movements in going off the grounds, which
increased the excitement as the players
all wanted to argue with the umpireS at
the same time. Finally Kelley meandered
out of the runway between the grand
stand and the left field bleacher seats, be-
ing accompanied by the derisive yells of the
spectators
The game then proceeded for a few
minutes until Doyle. in the seventh inning,
hit to the club house for three bases.
Shortstop Gilbert then took ii upon him
self to question the umpire's decision, and
was also put out of the game. Gilbert
claimed that Doyle had not touched sec
ond in running to third. but such plays
are hard to copper at any time let alone
in the excited state of the umpires minds

Victory for Fire Ladies'.

The several thousand people who visited
River View yesterday upon the occasion
of the excursion given for the benefit of
the Relief Association Of the employees OF
the Washington Traction and Electric Com
pany learned that the members of the Dis
trict fire department can play base ball as
well as fight fires, the firemen defeating a
nine composed of the company's raen by a
score of 81 to II. Fireman w. L. Boyle of
engine company No. II captained the fire
fighters and played second base; Private z.
E. Padgett of truck company c pitched
Private J. J. BranZell OF truck company ID
caught; Private John Altman of Chemical
engine company No. 1 played first base:
Private J. B. Watt of truck company F.

HUNT of Chemical engine company No. 4,
left field; Private T. NJ Boucher of truck
company B, center, and Private IL F. Nc
Connel of engine company No. II, right.
The firemen started off with rush, piiiug
up eleven runs in the first inning, and with
that comfortable lead they took thirgs
rather easy after that. Padgert pitched a
fire game UP to the seventh inning, WHEN
Boyle then went into the box for the last
two innings. Branzells work behind the
bat was surprise to every one, his throw
ing to bases being remarkably clever. The

JOHNSON REPLIES TO McGRAw
American League President Refuses to
Take the Ex-Manager Seriously

This TRADE of McGraw is nothing but
the muttering of an insignificant and vim
dlctlVe wasp, said President johnson Of
the American League in an interview at
Chicago last night referring to the late
manager and part owner of the Baltimore
club, concerning the affairs of the American
League and relating primarily to the policy
of the president of that organization.
There is no man in the American ea ,,,e
that knows as little about its affairs as this
same John ]. McGraw," continued Presi
dent johnson. 1T is not worth while taking
notice of what he says, for now he IL in
the National League he thinks he is free to
say anything he wants TO in the hope that
ne may hit on something that will hurt US
Regarding the losses in the American
League. he specified the PHILADELPHIA club
the Athletics. Last year Connie Mack's
club positively did not lose money. 1t did
not make great sum. but that was on ac-
count OF the adverse weather conditions
Al the present time that club is a good
deal ahead of where it was last season at a
corresponding time of the year. and be-
sides that, has lost its greatest attraction.
La joie.
'McGraw irtimated that the way Lajoie
came to go to Cleveland instead of Detroit
would not bear the X-ray of investiga ton
That is just where McGraw is mistaken
told President Angus of the Detroit club
that he or any other club in the league
could have Lajoie, as the Athletics were
through with him.
80 much for McGraws mutterngs His
use of the truth is like his ball playing
He knows nothing of what he Is talking
about. and 1 wouldn't be surprised IL the
National League would be glad to get rid
of him in a little while. The combina ton
of Freedman and McGraw will make a
hummer and 1t probably won't be long
until the polo grounds gates will be closed
to some umpire, just the Brooklyn club
has driven Hank O'Day out and preferred
charges against him for the Kitson affair"
