IF you know of anyone who has an old
square or upright piano, no matter what the

rid of it TO very good advantage.
Those who are going their vacation this
coming week should let us send for their old
square pianos before they leave. Wen give
them due bill for it eIiivaient to cash.
Then when they return in the fall they caa
call and select a new upright piano. using
the due bill in part payment and settling the
balance in small monthly instalments as con-
verien,.

too, who own old square or upright pianos and
ere even paving storage on them are loIniny

They'd far better send them 10 u and get

crease in value. and they never will be worth

STARS VS.. BRlAMT0WNS.
Rival Teams Will Settle Differences on
the Diamond July 4.

Interest in the game to be played July
by the Rock Creek Stars and Brian
towns grows as the date OF conflict ap-
proaches.
The feeling between the teams repre-
senting different sections Of the city is
intense and the conditions resemble
somewhat those existing between the
old Nationals and the Creightons some
years back. There was a bitter antdg-
onsm then. and so there is between
these teams. which can be settled only
on the diamond. Each has a large fol-
lowing and will be well backed when
they play.
The teams play a hlgh-class game.
and an interesting contest may be ex-
pected. League Umpire Belts will Of
fcIate. and fair game will be in or
der. The game will be one of the fea-
lures of the all-day picnic for the bcae-
fiji of the school building fund of Holy
Trinity Church. of Georgetown.

EASY FOR WEATHER BUREAU.
Agriculturists Again Make Unsuccess-
full Attempt to Win.

The division of chemistry of the De-
partment of Agriculture made another
unsuccessful attempt to down the base
ball tenn from the Weather Bureau
yesterday. but after nine innings of play
1t was found that the chemists had been
defeated by the score of II to :.

ing Of Hughes for the Weather Bureau
team We're the features. Another was
a sensational double play made by TAFT
and Chambers. With three men on
bases, and one out. Ely, of the chem
lists. came to the bat and sent a long
fly into the left field, which looked good
for at least two bases. but TAFT. after
a long run, caught the sphere and sent
it to second, retiring the side. The
score:

Cross. who was headed for the bag on
Castro's hit TO the box. The local
twirler imagined Coughlin was an aero
bat and hurled the ball several feet to
the wrcng side and above the short
felder's head. Otherwise Mr.. Orth was
very much in the game. and figured in
the hitting as well.
Young Mr.. Plank was not so much of
a prize puzzle. He had lots of speed
and his usual repertoire of curves and
shoots. but they did not worry the Sena-
tors as much as usual.
How the Runs Were Made.
Washington's first runs were secured
in the second inning. when Carey and
Lee crossed the plate on the formers
double. Lees base hit. and Drills triple
to the clubhouse.
Two more runs came cur way in the
eighth. Wolverton was the first man
I'D and went out on fly TO Monte Cross.
Delehanty singled. and Keister did like
wise. The hit went TO Seybold, who
fumbled 1t long enough TO permit Dele
hanty to get home by lead of several
feet. Carey's hit for three bases to cen
ter sent Keister in with tally.
Philadelphia went for five innings
without making any showing In the run
column. In the sixth, Fultz hit safely
TO right. Lee tried 10 kick the ball
back to the infield. but by the time he
was able to get his feet untangled from
his hands. the ball, and the sod. Fultz
was across the plate. Then Seybold
knocked a low curve over the left field
fence for a homer.
Schreck started a lot of excitement in
the ninth by hitting safely. NJ. Cross
slammed the ball to Keister, who thvew
to Coughlin and retired Schreck. Castro
hit to Orth. and in the locai mans anxiety
TO make a double play. he threw wildly
to Coughlin. and Cross made the base
and Castro was all right at first. Plank
hit q little fly that Orth captured. NJ.
Cross brought In a run, and made II
seem very dangerous to our sides pros
poets for a victory. when Hartsel hit to
center for base. Fultz was expected
to turn the trick for the Phillies, and II
he had been able to land on one OF Orth' S
curves, as he was requested to do,
there'd be another story to relate this
morning, but the best he could do was
to bang fly out to center, which was
handled very cleyerly by Ryan.

HOTELKEEPER A GENIUS.
About Up to the General Com
ception of the Real Thing.

The mechanical genius of a Bath
Beach hotel man caused many Of the
hotel guests to delight in the delusion
that they had witnessed a real sum
mer resort sea serpent. Every one at
the Fort Lowry hotel is authority for
the statement that, regarding the ap-
pearance of the monster at least, there
could be no possibility of doubt, re-
lates Popular Mechanics, 1t was
about $3.50 o'clock, when the men and
women guests were chatting merrily
on the hotel piazza, that the monster,
cleaning like colored fire, rose from
the waves about a dozen yards from
the end of the Bath Beach pier A
phosphorescent fire, green and ghast-
ly, CLEANED from its scales as it slowly
made its way toward the guests. Some
crowded to get closer view, and some
of the women screamed in awe. The
monster darted in and out of the water,
changing its course, and leaping clear
out of the water as it made for the
open bay. "It's phosphorescent por-
poise," said Nathan b. Appel, a guest Of
the hotel, and who is supposed to be
an authority on fish.
The whole town was excited over it.
Further investigation revealed beyond
a doubt that Mr.. Platz, couple of
fellow-conspirators, a carpenter, a
fish-shaped log, some luminous paint
and phosphoric oil, two or three hun
dred yards of small rope, block and
pulley, and boat at anchor out of
sight in the bay, were the incidentals
to the appearance Of the, mysterious
creature
