the opening event and following that with
another fair score. Jarvis played In great
shape, and is easily the star of his team.
His average was 1876. and he promises to
take front rank among the District players
next season. He was well supported ~
Gosorn. and Tarbell and Adams had each
a good game, but Jackson played miser-
able set and handicapped his team. The
Saengers played in and out, and Brucgger
was the only man who maintained a good
average. the others all having at least one
poor score In their footings.
The TakOmas had the best of the opening
game almost from the first frame. and
were well ahead at the half. Toward the
end the visitors spruced up somewhat, and.
with fine run by Burdine. who bowled
eighty pins in the last three frames, they
pulled up close enough to make the game
interesting. The score follows:

The Saengerbund bowlers got a jolt at
Takoma Park last night-not much Of one
under ordinary circumstances, for the loss
of single game Is not often regarded as
serious. but the Takoma team has come to
be regarded as rather easy proposition.
Therefore. the Saengers thought they were
easily due for a substantial increase in their
percentage. and were consequently disap-
pointed and surprised at the result of the
first game. The other two games went to
the visitors by safe margins. The home
team played its best series since 1t became

NEW CAPITAL BIDDING

Although negotiations for the sale OF the
Washington Base Ball Club to local capt.
,talists are still pending, but little headway
has been made within the past few days.
From indications the negotiations may run
on for several weeks.
A new phase was given the deal this
morning by story in the New York Sun to
the effect that Wilton ]. Lambert, the pres
ent counsel of the club. had been slated for
the presidency of the Washington club
when bought by the local capitalists, and
that Senator German would be one Of the
largest stockholders. Mr.. Lambert was
seen by Star reporter this morning, and
when shown the clipping displayed oonsid-
cradle surprise at the report He said that
there was little foundation for the story
outside of the fact that President Ban John
son had suggested that in case Washington
people purchased the club he be made presi-
dent OF the local organization. Mr. Lam
pert In speaking of the general base ball
situation this morning, fully agreed with
Mr.. JohnSon's ideas as to having coneeniai
owners In the American League, and said
tnat were he to be in control of the WASH
angton club he would not think of taking
any important step regarding the club
Without first consulting the Chicago man.
From this it can be gathered that the two
gentlemen are in perfect accord
AS TO senator German, Mr.. Lambert said
that ne knew that the Maryland senator is
an al lntense lover of the national game, and
IN addltlon Is a strong personal friend of
PRESIDENT johnson. Mr.. German had not
intlmated to Mr.. Lambert that he was WILL
ing to take stock in the Washington club
out ne did not doubt for a minute that the
senator would put money into the scheme If
1t was demonstrated to him that it was a
good investment.

Another Party After the Club,

A report was current this morning that
another party Of capitalists had come to
the front within the past twenty-four hours
and were trying to do business with the
Detroit magnate This story was to the eff
feet that they would take Mr.. Postal's hold
ings off his hands and give him cash for
them, adding IL per cent to the purchase
price on the money invested for the past
two years. This would give Mr.. Postal
bonus of about $1,000. They would immedi-
ately place the money In his hands, with
which he could buy the stock in the Detroit
club which he SO much desires. Mr.. Postal
was seen by a Star reporter at noon today
but he refused to affirm or deny the report
The gentlemen mentioned in the story de-
sire their names kept in the background
but 1t can be said that they are amply able
to meet the obligations should Mr.. Postal
see fit to accept their offer. They are In

their stepping into the field may be the
means of fastening the negotiations now
pending for the purchase Of the club
